editor’s Letter...

Hello, and welcome to the latest issue of Your Move.

In this bumper edition we bring you our first Go Liverpool guide of 2014, brimming with best events and shows the city has to offer over the next two months.

If that’s not enough, our Hot Topic features plenty of advice for current and incoming students as the search gets underway for the next academic year’s accommodation, and we’ve got the latest on how potential home buyers can find all the information they need under one roof at this year’s New Home Show.

Plus, our guide gives you a heads up on the tax implications you may face if you’ve inherited a property, and we have our usual round-up of top restaurants and retail picks. Enjoy!

LYn fitZPatricK property consultant, Keppie Massie Residential View now 0151 236 9660

How much? £259,950 Bedrooms Two Close to Liverpool ONE shopping centre, Moorfields station and Liverpool business district.

Benefits from Balcony with fantastic views overlooking Liverpool city centre and waterfront, spacious lounge and fully fitted kitchen, two double bedrooms, guest bathroom and en suite shower room, external separate walk-in storage cupboard and secure parking.

Agent’s view “Very rarely does an apartment come up for sale with outside space boasting such good views across the city, as the lounge/kitchen has floor to ceiling windows.

There is also a 24-hour concierge. Viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the high specification of this apartment.”

How much? £265,000 Bedrooms Three Close to Bordering Blundellsands, and a short walk to the train station, the seafront and Crosby village.

Benefits from Open plan family living with a high spec finish throughout, parking to the front and tri-fold doors leading to the garden.

Agent’s view “There is now just one plot remaining at Sherwood Road.

Location wise, its second-to-none but the real beauty of this development is the juxtaposition between the visual of a property that has been built in-keeping with the appearance of the road and area, with all the added benefits that a brand new build home brings; energy efficiency, security and safety and a 10-year Premier Guarantee warranty.”

Live the Cheshire

life!

With new accommodation being developed across the city and a range of options already available, students looking for a home ahead of the next academic year will have more choice than ever.

But to ensure a stress-free move that’ll balance the perfect lifestyle with an ideal place to study, it’s important to take costs and contracts, living arrangements and locations into consideration.

HOT TOPIC

The University of Liverpool, Liverpool John Moores University, Liverpool Hope University and LIPA all welcome a new intake each year so it’s no wonder the city’s student scene continues to thrive. Therefore with accommodation in high demand, now is the time for both incoming and existing students to begin the search for a prime place to live from September.

WHAT IS AVAILABLE? Whether university is prompting you to leave your family home for the first time, or you’ve settled in to the city and you’re embarking on your second, third or post graduate years of study, Liverpool has student accommodation to suit everyone.

Halls of residence and purpose built student developments can be the perfect starting point for new students. Many feature clusters of private bedrooms which can often come with en suite bathrooms, and are accompanied by shared kitchen and lounge facilities.

Made entirely for students, such complexes allow newcomers to socialise and make friends with sharers and neighbours who may also be new to university life.

Meanwhile Liverpool offers many studio apartments for students at all stages of university, who are looking for everything they need in their own independent living space with more privacy to study.

Developments can also come with useful facilities such as internet access too, either included in rental costs or for an extra fee.

For those looking for more familiar homely surroundings, the city isn’t short of houses for student lettings either. Such properties are available for individuals looking for a room in a shared house, or for groups of friends looking to live together.

PRIME LOCATIONS From Liverpool’s compact city centre to well-connected areas out of

town such as Kensington and Smithdown Road, there are several locations with a wealth of student property. However they vary in rent prices, and while some are close to parks and out-of-town amenities, others are in the heart of the city’s thriving nightlife and cultural scene or are on the doorstep of university campuses.

According to Charlie Tombs, account manager at X1 Lettings: "The city centre is an ideal place for students to live, especially first years who are yet to explore Liverpool.

With enough shops, pubs and clubs to fill all those empty hours between lectures there is more than enough to see and do.

“If you are on a bit of a budget then a house share could be more suitable in either Kensington or the Smithdown Road area.

“Third years and post grads have descended on the Ropewalks area of Liverpool and there are many decent priced apartments available in this bohemian area of the city."

COSTS AND TENANCY AGREEMENTS For many students, finances are tight and budgeting is key. If you’re living away from home to study, accommodation will be one of the biggest expenses so it’s important to be clear about what needs to be paid and when.

Like with any property lettings many landlords will require a tenancy deposit, which will be returned at the end of the tenancy unless it is used to cover costs of rent arrears or damage to the property. Also be sure to clarify from the outset whether any rent must be paid in advance.

Sam Tumilty, lettings manager at Liverpool Student Lets, advises: “Students should expect for their tenancy agreement to run from 1 July in the year they wish to take up residence and for it to run for 52 weeks until the end of the following June.

“In most cases they should

only expect, however, to pay 48 weeks’ worth of rent. This is due to paying half rent over the summer period, often referred to as a ‘summer retainer’.

“Most landlords don’t expect for their tenants to take up residency until September when their university course begins and use the summer months for any essential repairs and maintenance.”

CHOOSING THE RIGHT LANDLORD Balancing studying and work with socialising can be busy enough without property problems being thrown into the mix, so it’s important to choose a trusted landlord or agent who will deliver the right services and security.

Before signing a tenancy agreement it’s important to carry out research and Tony Gore, manager of Wavertree Property Link, says: “The first thing a student can check is if their potential landlord/agent is accredited. If they’re accredited with an independent scheme such as NALS (National Approved Letting Scheme) or Liverpool City Council’s CLASS scheme, there will be guidelines in place to ensure that the properties and services provided are of a good standard.

“Students should also make sure that all necessary certification and licences are in place on the property.”

Meanwhile landlords/agents are legally obliged to register deposits with a protection scheme, so documentation should be provided when signing for the property with details of how it works.

Tony adds: “The final thing to look at would be bills inclusive packages, which most landlords now include as standard. Students should check the allowances on the property as a lot of landlords/agents have extremely low caps which could be costly for them.”

The flooring in my rented flat is a bit of a mess thanks to a burst pipe last summer. I have been waiting for my landlord/letting agent to do something about it since August. Am I entitled to claim a refund on part of my rent or to any sort of compensation for this?

Q

R Phillips, L23 This is not straight forward. As the damage was caused by a burst pipe I presume that the repair has been the subject of an insurance claim and this may account for some of the delay, however five months is an unreasonable length of time to resolve the problem.

I would not recommend that you withhold rent as this would be a breach of your lease agreement and could jeopardise your tenancy, however most landlords would be willing to make a goodwill gesture of either a payment to you for the inconvenience or an allowance against the rent.

If the landlord is unreasonable and refuses to make an offer of payment then you may need to take legal advice and pursue a claim through the County Courts.

Ventilation

Q

I’m considering buying a three-storey home. What are the benefits?

Mrs E Carr, L12 The beauty of three-storey homes is that they maximise the potential of the space available. By going up instead of out, you get more home for your money and can adapt how you use that space to fit your lifestyle.

A lot depends on the layout but in some of our three-storey homes at Carnatic Court what might have been a dining room could become a playroom for the kids. And in homes where the loft space is designed as a master suite parents can enjoy the peace and quiet of the top floor. Loft rooms also make great guest suites, games rooms, teenage dens or perhaps home gyms.

Homes set out over three floors are also well suited to multigenerational living – either buyers with their older parents living with them or whose grown up children are yet to move into a place of their own. There’s plenty of space for everyone to live under one roof, while still being able to enjoy their privacy.

A

I have just bought a house and I am a bit concerned about damp problems. What can I do about it? Is it easy to treat? Do I have to qualify for certain shares?

Q

Mr Joyce, L20 There are three main types of dampness commonly found in buildings; rising damp, penetrating damp and condensation.

Essentially all these forms of dampness can be cured. Ensuring the property is well maintained is a good starting point.

Make sure gutters don’t leak and that the outside render has no cracks that can let moisture penetrate in. Check the bricks, pointing and roof tiles are in good order and ensure the flashing around chimneys is in good repair. If all the above is in good order and you still have damp stains on the walls you should instruct a reputable damp proofer to test your walls, it could be that you need a new damp course. Condensation can be resolved by ensuring the property has adequate ventilation.

Good extractor fans in the kitchen and bathroom are important and heating the property will also help.

new Home sHow to offer free advice for buyers Are you looking to buy an affordable new home in Merseyside in 2014?

If so, a wealth of free advice and information will be available under one roof as the New Home Show takes place in Liverpool.

More than 40 experts will be on hand at the city’s BT Convention Centre on 29 March, with everything you need to know about the government’s Help to Buy initiative through to shared ownership schemes and homes for the over 55s.

The event, sponsored by Redrow Homes and supported

by HomesHub, will also offer independent help and support for every step of the buying process, the chance to discuss money matters with financial advisers and mortgage

lenders and also legal advice.

Over 1,000 visitors attended last year’s event, and this latest show is already shaping up to be a huge success.

Claire Jarvis, sales director for Redrow Homes (Lancashire), says: “We’re delighted to be sponsoring the New Homes Show, having previously been involved with similar events organised by Your Move. Judging on the success of those events, the New Homes Show will be a great occasion, providing a one-stop-shop where buyers can find out about a wide range of homes and the help available.”

The former student homes on Falkner Street and Catharine Street are to be returned to privately owned dwellings

by Hollinwood Homes, part of the Marcus Worthington Group.

The scheme is part of a £50million investment by the University of Liverpool and the Marcus Worthington Group, which also includes separate schemes to build accommodation for 354 students in Philharmonic Court, as well as transforming a former Great Newton Street car park and disused university building into 267 student bedrooms.

Mark Chadwick, residential development director of Hollinwood

Homes, says: “We’ve completed extensive research into the types of properties that would meet local housing needs in this area and have discovered that the best use would be to restore them back into townhouses.

“This area is hugely popular and by bringing these homes back into use, we’re not only helping to regenerate this part of Liverpool, we are providing some much needed, high quality homes that are modern and desirable on the inside, but retain their distinctive characteristics on the outside.”

The Georgian terraces are due to be completed in 2016, with the Philharmonic court development finishing in 2015, and Great Newton Street to be completed this September.

BUMPER CATALOGUE TO START AUCTION YEAR A bumper catalogue is in store for Sutton Kersh’s first 2014 auction, as the firm hopes to continue its “exceptional” success.

A total of 114 lots will go under the hammer at the 12 February event, being held in Liverpool city centre’s Mariott Hotel from 12 noon, and highlights include two-storey period property Birch House.

The Green Lane property in Mossley Hill is being offered with planning permission to demolish it and erect nine three-bedroom apartments.

With a guide price of £650,000 plus, it also comes with potential to submit a revised planning application for detached or mews properties.

Other lots include two tenanted family homes on Woolton Road which are let on Assured Shorthold Tenancies, producing £1,500 per calendar month and £15,000 per annum, respectively. The guide prices in both cases are £250,000 plus.

Cathy Holt, auction manageress at Sutton Kersh, says: “2013 was an exceptional year in which we attracted 23% more lots than in the previous 12 months and increased the income generated for our clients by over £10,000,000.

“With the economy showing further signs of improvement and buyers continuing to favour property as their preferred investment vehicle, we look forward to 2014 with real confidence.”

Sutton Kersh is now inviting instructions for its 9th April auction. The catalogue closes on 22nd March.

RISE IN DEMAND AT ANDREW LOUIS’ NEWEST BRANCH Award-winning estate agent Andrew Louis is already celebrating growth in its new Old Swan branch, despite being open for little more than six months.

The office opened last June and is going from strength to strength, as the team is said to be settling in really well and has seen a big rise in the demand for sales and lettings in the area.

Erica Mooney, branch manager, says: "We have seen a dramatic rise in enquiries for L6, L7, L12, L13 and L14, and would urge those selling homes and landlords to get in touch. There have

been lots of enquiries particularly from those starting work on the new Alder Hey Children's Hospital.

"Mortgage applications are also on the up due to the government's Help to Buy scheme so our mortgage adviser Ewan has been kept really busy. We are all really pleased with the success we've had so far and are looking forward to an even busier year ahead."

The success comes as Andrew Louis enters its silver anniversary in 2014, celebrating 25 years of trading and offering excellent customer service as a regulated agent.

Simple steps can boost Help to Buy eligibility, advises Countryside Properties Liverpool heating firm Select NW is helping local landlords to upgrade their properties, following the launch of its Community Heating Scheme (CHS).

ould-be buyers can take simple steps to improving their Help to Buy eligibility, according to Countryside Properties.

The developer, which offers the government scheme on properties at its NGV Liverpool site off Stalisfield Avenue, says people seem to be “experiencing similar problems” when applying for their first mortgages.

Peter Vella, regional sales and marketing director at Countryside Properties, advises that avoiding payday loans; keeping credit payments, credit cards and phone bills up to date; registering on the electoral roll; having proof of residency such as utility bills; and checking and

monitoring credit scores with free trials from Experian, can all help to improve eligibility and credit ratings.

He adds: “These simple but effective steps can make a huge difference to eligibility for the Help to Buy scheme and our sales team, alongside our Independent Financial Advisors, are always on hand to help our buyers through this process.”

The Help to Buy initiative enables buyers to own a property with only a 5% deposit, by receiving an interest free equity loan of 20% of the property value.

Tenants and property workers with personal injury claims are being advised to steer clear of gimmicks.

Vanessa Lester

According to Vanessa Lester, head of personal injury at KWP Solicitors, claimants should seek solicitors’ help as on average they can obtain “three times more” compensation than an insurance company, however ‘up-front payments’ and ‘recommend a friend’ offers can leave people out of pocket.

Vanessa explains: “In April 2013 legal changes had a significant effect on the personal injury compensation market. Costs were reduced and solicitors can now deduct up

The initiative has been brokered with boiler manufacturers and Select NW’s expert engineers, in a bid to come up with the best price for more efficient boilers.

A Select NW spokesperson says the initiative has been launched following cutbacks to the government’s ECO scheme, and “while we can’t offer the scheme for free, we’ll do it for as cheap as we can.”

Select NW is also offering free loft insulation in some cases, in a bid to dramatically reduce energy costs and help residents out of fuel poverty.

to 25% of the compensation as the success fee.

Just because a solicitor can deduct doesn’t mean they have to though.

“A solicitor has a duty to ensure you get the compensation you deserve, and there’s no added incentive to get you more.

She adds: “Up-front payments are paid when certain conditions are met, and when they’re met a solicitor should be able obtain an interim payment for you. If a ‘friend’ receives money for recommending you, chances are the deduction you pay will be more.

“Check terms and conditions, speak to the solicitor on the phone and remember; if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.”

he UK auctioneer, Auction House has announced a strategic expansion into Liverpool with a new city centre base.

Run by auctioneer Oliver Adams and his team, alongside Auction House Lancashire and Action House Manchester West, the new auction room will be situated in the Town Hall and is set to host its first event on 24 April.

The move comes after Auction House, which also has North West branches on Preston, Wirral, Chester, Manchester, Cumbria, Carlisle and Leeds, recently scooped the coveted Residential

Auction House of the Year 2013 title at the Negotiator Awards in London.

Oliver says: “We’re delighted to be opening our Liverpool branch and are looking forward to our first auction on 24 April at 2pm. We have already sold many properties in Liverpool through our existing auction rooms with great success.

“Our first auction dedicated to Liverpool property will come with some very special deals on selling fees - so take advantage and secure your catalogue page now.”

New Sutton Kersh lettings office a great success Sutton Kersh Lettings, one of Liverpool’s leading letting agents, has hailed its move to new, larger premises on Allerton Road a “great success”.

Liverpool’s residential property sales market is “healthy and active”, according to new research by City Residential.

The agency’s quarterly report for the final part of 2013 says: “On the ground in the city centre the market is not on fire and is certainly not similar to the crazy years of boom in the mid 2000s. What we do have is a healthy, active market where buyers have begun to realise that the market offers good long term value for money.”

Meanwhile the report highlights the continuing strength of Liverpool’s rental sector, as the city “continues to attract more people each year looking to both buy and rent.”

It adds: “The continued strength of the lettings market is encouraging many new landlords into the market, particularly those with decent cash balances that have been earning very little on deposit at the banks.”

Student numbers are also said to be “holding up well” in comparison to other northern cities, prompting further student property schemes to continue coming forward.

With over 40% of borrowers, including many landlords, on interest-only mortgages, City Residential now predicts the future direction of interest rates will be the “biggest factor that will drive the market over the next few years.”

Office manager Colin Woods says: “The new office is directly next to the Halifax which makes it far more accessible and welcoming for both tenants and landlords and is already paying dividends judging by the large number of customers coming through the door.’

Phil Lawton, director of Sutton Kersh Lettings, says: “The rapid growth of the department means that this move has been well over due, but we now have a fantastic base from where our team of experienced

lettings negotiators can maintain the high quality of service and help drive the business forward.”

Sutton Kersh Lettings currently manages one of the largest property portfolios on Merseyside which comprises over 2,000 residential units and management of apartment blocks ranging from six to 275 units, all with their own unique requirements. They offer landlords a full management or a let only service.

If you are a landlord with property to let or a tenant looking for rental accommodation call Sutton Kersh Lettings now on 0151 482 2594. Or visit their new showroom at 11 Allerton Road, Liverpool, L18 1LG.

INHERITING A HOME If you’ve inherited a home then you’ll face tax implications depending on what you decide to do with it. Whether you choose to live in the property, sell it on or rent it out, the important first step is to calculate what taxes you’ll be liable for.

You could be affected by three types of tax; however the amount you pay depends on the details of the will, what you do with the home and changes in house prices at certain times of the transaction. inheritance tax You’ll be classed as an exempt beneficiary if you’ve inherited a property from your spouse or civil partner, and you probably won’t have to pay inheritance tax. In most other cases inheritance tax is usually taken out of the deceased estate prior to the property ownership being transferred.

However, if the will stipulates you must pay inheritance tax, or the deceased’s estate does not cover the amount, you may be liable to pay it.

Jennifer Howell, solicitor at law firm Maxwell Hodge, says: “The amount any single person is allowed to own before inheritance tax can be applied to their estate (at a rate of 40%) is currently £325,000 for tax year 2013/14.

Likewise, the amount married couples are allowed to own is £650,000. These figures do not appear to be increasing for 2014/15. There are of course, some circumstances where the full allowance cannot be applied to an estate,

for example, where a person has given away more than £3,000 in any tax year during the seven years before their death.”

caPital gainS tax Capital gains tax only applies if you sell the property in future, and only then if it has increased in value in the meantime. It’s a tax on the value ‘gained’ in the time between taking ownership of the property and selling it on. Therefore if you’re selling your property after inheritance it’s a good idea to do so quickly as UK house prices are on the rise.

Mike Carter, head of the property department at Paul Crowley & Co Solicitors, says: “Capital gains tax will have to be paid if you sell the property and it has gone up in the value since the date of death of the person you inherited it from. Prior to selling I strongly suggest you seek the advice of an accountant who would be able to advise you as to any potential tax liability.”

income tax If you choose to use the property you inherit to generate income through rent you’ll have to pay income tax on that income. How much you pay will depend on the level of income and your financial circumstances. Income tax would also apply to interest earned on money and dividends paid on shares.

Julia Casimo, partner at John Kerr Chartered Accountants, advises: “If you decide to let the property out there are a number of income tax angles to consider. You’ll need to register for self-assessment if you’re not already completing a tax return, and sort out a system for recording rental income and expenses. I also usually recommend that a separate bank account is operated for a rental business.

“You also may need to decide on what basis to draw up your accounts and whether to opt to claim the wear and tear allowance.”

CUP WINNER What started off as manufacturing designs from home has evolved into an international business for Liverpool ceramicist Alison Appleton, selling her intricately designed ceramic products to some of the biggest retail names.

From an initial love of textiles to having a worldwide selling, tea-based ceramics brand, Alison tells us of her journey through the world of design, and reveals her upcoming plans for her creations.

interview by damian leonard

How did you go about setting up your own ceramics studio?

I was working from a studio at home for many years. I sold designs for homeware and textiles, which were then mass-produced by a variety of manufacturers and sold to department stores.

I decided to create my own range and knew that I had to make some important changes if I wanted to grow. My brother told me about the plans for Baltic Creative so I came down to pick my space before it was even ready.

Is it having the type of success you’d hoped it would?

During the first 18 months of the creation of the brand we have had some fantastic experiences.

My collection has been very well received and is sold in stores such as Harrods, Whittard, Twining and a whole host of gorgeous independent stores around the world. We sell the range in Europe, North and South America, Russia, Australia and China.

My plans for 2014 are to build up my website and let people in Liverpool know that we are here.

What inspires you in your work?

The inspiration for my first collection is British Chinoiserie. During the Regency era in Britain from 1795 and 1837 the British were bringing 76 Your Move

tea, porcelain and silks in from China, and the influence of the Oriental trade could be seen in home furnishings from this period. There were lots of Chinese carpets, beautiful painted wall coverings and Thomas Chippendale was creating furniture with a heavy Chinese influence.

The style of the first British teapots actually came from the traditional Chinese wine ewers.

Jane Austen and Earl Grey were also prominent figures from this era so it made absolute sense for me to research this history.

Since then I’ve visited China and several tea plantations and tea markets. I love Chinese tea, the variety is much broader than most people imagine.

My next collections are more about texture and nature; watch out for these coming out in April and later in the year.

Where did you get your love for ceramics, and was this type of work what you always wanted to do?

I always wanted to design. I applied to do a printed textile degree at the art college in Liverpool but was persuaded to do fashion. I did it for a year and then switched to textiles.

Now I understand why I was advised to do fashion, because I love form and shape.

I got into ceramics because I was asked to put patterns on ceramics mass-produced in Portugal. Once I started working in the factory I fell in love with the whole process. There’s something magical about conjuring up these fragile, beautiful pieces from simple earthly materials. It’s very satisfying for me.

Apart from this I love entertaining and enjoy

the whole ceremony of preparing and serving food or tea in lovely dishes.

Did your love for tea or your love for ceramics come first?

Ceramics first, I discovered tea when I did a design project for La Cafetière. Once you have enjoyed a few good teas you are not likely to ever settle for a tea bag again.

“

There’s something magical about conjuring up these fragile, beautiful pieces from simple earthly materials.

”

Your creations have been stocked by the likes of John Lewis and Harrods. How did that come about and has such well known traders picking up your work had a big impact?

Harrods stocks my own brand, and the work I’ve done with John Lewis was for other

talent

companies such as La Cafetière. Through them I’ve had designs in most department stores in the UK, Europe and the USA. Walking into prestigious stores and seeing my designs on the shelf does give you a sense of confidence. I enjoy what I do and through the experience I’ve had with these stores I know what demands will be made upon me. The quality of my products is very high and they are beautifully packaged.

If you could pick one celebrity in the world to drink from your collection, who would you chose and why?

That is a great question! Actor Benedict Cumberbatch looks like a classic tea drinker.

I would love to see him with one of my teapots.

He has great style and charisma.

What work do you have in the pipeline for the coming year?

I have a partner in China and we’ve opened a workshop in which we mix new clays and glazes; some of these are amazing and very innovative. I can’t wait to bring them out. These collections are more gender neutral and very contemporary.

What opportunities do you feel have come up in Liverpool, and what's it like to be part of the city's creative scene?

I really enjoy being in the creative quarter; it’s

an extremely professional area with lots of very talented people. It’s also very sociable - working in design can be a lonely business - and it’s good to be with other creatives.

My studio is a lovely light filled space. We’ve had a variety of clients up from London, so Jason from Unit 51 across the road always provides a great lunch and we do the tea.

They’ve all been very impressed!

What’s your dream for your range?

Think tea, think Alison Appleton! For my designs to be used in the best hotels, homes and offices around the world. I intend to keep my individual style but create a pot for everyone.

& Best for...

SPecial occaSionS Congratulations, you’ve made it through January, and if that doesn’t warrant a nice meal out then nothing will. And thankfully, there are plenty more events to use as an excuse to visit a fancy restaurant, whether it’s the forthcoming Valentine’s Day in February or a birthday celebration. That’s why we’ve picked out three excellent eateries to treat yourself and your loved ones to.

a winning choice The London Carriage Works, Hope Street, L1 Enjoy a beautiful meal at multi award-winning restaurant The London Carriage Works, where wellknown chef Paul Askew heads his own team of professional cooks. With a six-page menu you’ll be spoilt for choice on what to order, and from roast breast of Gressingham Duck, to thyme-scented sirloin the food is a feast for the eyes and the mouth.

Frederik’S Hope Street, L1 9BX

FaSt and Friendly Hanover Street Social, Hanover Street, L1 This French brasserie meets urban warehouse-style restaurant is the perfect place for a celebratory meal. Located in the heart of Liverpool, the spacious venue ensures fast, friendly service, a mouth-watering menu and a seemingly endless wine list, guaranteeing a great night for all parties.

Something For everyone Malmaison Brasserie, William Jessop Way, L3 Opposite the stunning Albert Dock sits the Malmaison Brasserie restaurant, within the Malmaison hotel.

Perfect for every event, it offers unique dining experiences with ‘The Kitchen’, for large parties, and ‘The Boudoir’, for a more intimate, romantic meal.

Located in the heart of the Georgian Quarter, Frederik’s is the latest addition to Hope Street’s collection of exciting restaurants and bars.

Situated a stone’s throw away from the Philharmonic Hall and a brief walk from the new Everyman Theatre, Frederik’s finds itself in the middle of a cultural haven.

It is a credit to FVMA, the talented architects and designers behind Fredrik’s, that the restaurant has managed to pop up unassumingly in the city’s iconic and creative area.

FVMA, who were also involved in the design of Camp and Furnace, have again managed to create a modern, slick restaurant environment whilst also keeping the space warm and cosy.

On arrival, my dinner date and I ordered two pints of Frederik’s own branded lager (£3.30) and a couple of bar snacks to start with; a generous serving of olives (£2.50) and a Scotch egg (£3) served with a fresh tomato salsa.

The Scotch egg was the best I’ve ever tasted and I’ve had my fair share!

Although there are main dishes available at Frederik’s such as macaroni cheese and the pulled pork waffle stack, for me the restaurant’s real stand out dishes are its small plates.

They’re ideal for sharing, so my dinner date and I ordered a mixed variety to try.

First to arrive was the pretzel fried spiced chicken (£5.50), which has a subtle but delicious twist to the traditional fried chicken as it has crumbed pretzel on the outside rather than fried skin. This also makes it a lot more guilt free!

My favourite dish was the Connemara Bay mussels served in Guinness (£6). This dish comes with thick cut bread, perfect for dipping in the rich sauce. Luckily for me, my dinner date isn’t a seafood fan so I got to devour the whole bowl.

Extremely tasty salt and vinegar grilled potatoes (£3) accompanied our dishes as

REVIEW BY JOE EARNSHAW

well as a fresh zucchini, rocket and parmesan salad (£5), which provided a light break in between the dishes.

Finally we had the Reuben sandwich (£3), which has a delicious filling of salt beef and Swiss cheese. The sandwich brings a real taste of New York to the Hope Street venue.

There are a variety of American themed desserts available at Frederik’s including bourbon pecan pie and New York baked cheesecake (both £4).

Unfortunately I couldn’t fit one in on the night, however I will definitely be returning to try one or two!

Frederik’s does not only offer fantastic food, drink and a great atmosphere but the eatery also has an exciting events and performance venue, The Pillbox space.

Although only opening recently, I am sure that Frederik’s will soon establish itself as one of the most popular bars and restaurants on Liverpool’s creative nightlife scene.

Capes are going nowhere this year, as they continue to be a firm favourite among designers and on the high street. American Apparel are pros when it comes to understated, staple pieces that are both easy to wear and on trend, and their beautiful navy wool cape (£145) is a fashion fix that is both simple enough to go with any outfit, and heavy duty enough to protect you from the cold winter wind.

Liverpool’s own Olivia Divine is the perfect place to find jewellery to add drama to any outfit. The collections are numerous, and range from delicate tiaras, to gothic gold, to our favourite, this beautiful bejewelled set (£60) reminiscent of old Hollywood glamour. Best of all, the items are intricate, inexpensive and eye catching, and it clearly isn’t just us who thinks so: Olivia Divine has recently relocated to a gorgeous space in the Metquarter.

Your Yoga Studio is running the 30-day challenge

A 30-day hot yoga challenge at Liverpool’s Your Yoga Studio is said to have been bringing “fantastic” results for its participants.

Tara Maguire from the Wood Streetbased studio in Liverpool city centre, says those who have made a healthy start to 2014 by taking part in the practice for 30 consecutive days have

been quickly feeling the benefits that it can bring, such as reduced stress, the burning of body fat, leaner muscles and increased circulation to help detox and improve the function of internal organs.

Challenge participant, Gary Kirk, who has been attending Your Yoga Studio, says: “Hot yoga makes you feel fantastic, your eyes and skin shine and you feel alert and alive.”

Meanwhile fellow Your Yoga Studio student, Lindsay Inglesby, adds: “Hot yoga is working my body in a way it has never been worked before, I feel challenged, stronger, more flexible and I’m sleeping better.”

We can play is open to young musicians

A new music project is being launched to develop the skills of talented young musicians around Liverpool.

Metal, the arts organisation based at the city’s Edge Hill Station, is looking for 11 to 17-year-olds, primarily from Kensington, Fairfield and Picton, to take part in ‘We Can Play’.

With the first session starting

on 22 February, a series of free five day-long workshops will be led by performers, composers and industry experts from different music genres and disciplines. They will explore improvisation and jazz influences, rhythm and time, soundtracks and film scores, mash-ups and musical collage.

Distinguished composer, Bill Connor will then write a new

piece of music with the group to be performed in various city venues during the summer.

All travel costs will be covered and refreshments will be provided, and the deadline for applications is 14 February.

The treatment uses massaging techniques

Looking for a lift after enduring those January blues? A new treatment has launched in Liverpool to get February off to a revitalised start.

The House Beauty Spa, on Mather Avenue in Childwall, is now offering the Elemis Pro-Intense Lift Effect Facial to clients, which uses handson therapy and cutting-edge plant stem cell technology for lifting results.

Massage techniques are said to help tone and shape facial contours and reduce puffiness and fluid retention.

According to the spa, the treatment is ideal for anyone experiencing regular weight loss or gain, as well as stressful times or post illness, and extreme dryness with skin that’s lost its ‘bounce’.

It aims to help the skin feel “uplifted and firmer” whilst restoring vital moisture levels.

RICHARD HAWKINS: HIJIKATA TWIST TATE LIVERPOOL, 28 FEBRUARY – 11 MAY Los Angeles-based artist and writer Richard Hawkins will bring the first UK museum exhibition of his work to Tate Liverpool this spring.

Displayed in the form of his scrapbooks, it will trace how iconic works from Western modern art have been interpreted or ‘twisted’ in a different cultural context to create images and ideas clashing with orthodox interpretations of art history.

PLAYHOUSE, 27 FEBRUARY Having made their names in the cult sketch show The Mary Whitehouse Experience, comedy double act Hugh Dennis and Steve Punt have gone on to achieve much success individually and together as writers and performers.

In their first live outing since 2005’s ‘Grown Men in Public’ tour, the duo will be ploughing their way to the city’s Playhouse theatre with their latest offering of satirical stand-up and sketches.

The Everyman returns HOPE STREET, 1-2 MARCH After two years of construction, a new incarnation of Liverpool’s iconic Everyman will arrive in spectacular style.

On 1 March the people of the city are invited to join in a parade and celebration, as Lights Up takes place along Hope Street and kicks off a new chapter for the venue.

Then on 2 March the long wait will be over, as the new and improved 400-seat theatre opens its doors for a Housewarming event.

The theatre’s artistic programme will then come alive from 8 March, when Matthew Kelly and Nick Woodeson from the celebrated Everyman company of 1974 appear in Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night.

My favourite with...

REBECCA FERGUSON Liverpool singer Rebecca Ferguson has come a long way since she reached the X Factor final in 2010. Having already achieved huge success with her debut album ‘Heaven’, her follow-up record ‘Freedom’ also recently stormed straight into the Top 10.

As she prepares to embark on a UK tour, stopping off at Echo Area Liverpool, Rebecca takes time out to share some of her favourite things.

Favourite thing about Liverpool:

The people, because I think we’re quite tough in the sense that we’ve had a lot of knocks over the years but we’re still very proud.

We’re the type of people who’ll help you out as well. Even if we’ve got nothing we’ll still lend you a cup of sugar. We’re very cliquey, we all stick together.

Favourite venue:

For atmosphere I’d say the Echo Arena Liverpool but for the acoustics and the feel it’d be Union Chapel in London, which is an old church.

Favourite film:

It’s probably ‘Beaches’, with Bette Middler. I used to think I was CC Bloom when I was little!

Favourite album:

I’ve got so many, but I like Fleetwood Mac’s ‘Tango in the Night’. It’s probably between that one or Lauryn Hill’s ‘The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill’.

Favourite moment in your career:

I’ve had a few. One of my favourites was singing with Lionel Richie at the O2 last year, which was lovely.

I sang with Andrea Bocelli too so that was a good moment for me, and I also performed with tenor Joseph Calleja in Malta and that was an amazing gig over there.

I’ve had loads of moments so it’s hard to choose, I’ve just done Shanghai and that was brilliant as well!

Favourite holiday destination:

Elounda in Crete; it’s absolutely gorgeous.

I’ve been to Jamaica and culturally it’s nice because you meet lots of people and it’s very tropical, but for just pure relaxation and scenery I’d say Elounda.

Favourite book:

I’m just reading it at the minute.

It’s called ‘The Husband’s Secret’,

by Liane Moriarty.

I like books but I find it hard to get time to read them. I’m getting stuck into this one though because it’s got lots of different scenarios and they all intertwine in the end, I’m told.
