Hot off the press YOUR GUIDE TO THE LATEST PROPERTY IN LIVERPOOL

A city agent believes a proposed increase in capital gains tax poses a threat to the private rental market.

The coalition government intends to double the rate but it is not clear when the measures will take effect. If new policy is brought into force, sellers could be liable for 40 per cent of their capital gains, rather than the current 18 per cent rate. Paul Sutton, managing director at Sutton Kersh, commented: “We don’t know how or when the new policy might apply. It might be from the date of the Budget or it might be from the start of the next tax year.

Potentially, this could trigger a fire sale situation. Professional investors may look to sell their current portfolios now before the new legislation is in place.

If this is the case we will see a significant rise in auction stock as investors look to achieve a quick sale. The worst-case scenario for investors would be if it was back-dated to the start of this tax year.”

The average deposit required for a first time buyer in 2009 was 25% - out of reach for many young people. But that didn’t stop Rachael Parry and her partner James moving into a brand new Bellway home at Holly Court in Garston in February.

“James and I have been together for the last 10 years and had been living with our parents. We really wanted to live together but despite trying were unable to secure a mortgage as we did not have a large enough deposit. It was really frustrating as house prices had come down and

Keppie Massie have just released the latest apartments at the deluxe Gallery at the Quarter development by Vermont.

There are a wide range of apartments available to rent, from stylish studios to one, two and three bedroom apartments.

The location of the development is second to none, ideally situated opposite the Marina and Harbour Club and within

walking distance of the Echo Arena and Liverpool One. As an added incentive to those looking to rent in June, Vermont are offering £100 worth of Tesco vouchers plus free internet access for 6 months.

Sue Taylor, Keppie Massie said: “We have been pleasantly surprised by the tenant’s reactions at the Quarter due to the generous offer of shopping vouchers and broadband as well as the 24 hour security

and on-site handyman.

Following our great success with corporate clients enjoying their time staying at the Gallery, we are now delighted to offer the apartments to the general public.

interest rates are really low so the conditions for us to buy our own place were ideal - apart from the deposit issue,” said Rachael.

“A friend told me about HomeBuy Direct, and then we discovered that Bellway were running the scheme at their Holly Court site. I knew the area well and had family close by so the location was ideal and close to my work at the National Blood Service. The stipulations were that we had to be able to afford 70% of the mortgage and then the scheme and Bellway provided the remaining 30%.”

While Rachael and James must pay back the 30% it remains

interest free for the first 5 years and has to be paid back in 25 years or on the sale of the property, which ever comes first.

The beauty of the scheme was that the 30% loan acted as a deposit which enabled them to secure a mortgage.

Bellway is offering HomeBuy Direct arrangements on a range of two bedroom apartments at Holly Court.

To view these stunning apartments contact Keppie Massie on 0151 236 9660 or freephone 0800 008 7707. www.thequarterliverpool.com

New appointments hit the ground running with new stock in south Liverpool HomeLets has expanded its sales team with the appointment of a new agent.

Lee Brinkley has been handed a brief to expand the company’s portfolio of houses on the market.

After the recent ‘lull’ in new build developments hitting the city centre market, property specialists City Residential are excited to be able to offer this brand new, and very affordable, development of 36 two bedroom apartments situated on Moss Street.

The appointment comes as HomeSales announces it has been instructed to sell new properties at the Joshua Place development in Edge Hill.

Lee, formerly sales area manager at Roberts Edwards and Worrall on Allerton Road, will promote the sales element of HomeLets. The agent has a number of years experience in the industry having worked in his native Birmingham before moving to Liverpool in 2007.

Alan Binks, director of HomeLets, commented: “The last 12 months has seen all focus on the rentals side as it has been so successful. In the next year I predict sales will start to strengthen again.

Sellers pressed the pause button in 2009 but activity is underway again, not just in the city centre but also in the suburbs.”

The development is ideally located for the Universities, The Royal Liverpool Hospital, road networks and public transport

links as well as only being a stones throw away from Liverpool City Centre.

Each property offers very spacious and well laid accommodation with two double bedrooms, some with ensuite shower rooms. Spacious open plan Living/Dining/ Kitchen and some with large balconies offering excellent city views. Kitchens and Bathrooms are both well appointed also.

Andrew Schofield of City

Residential commented “there have already been several ‘prerelease’ sales, indicating that demand will be high’ and with prices ranging from £102,950 £109,950 its not hard to see why.

The properties on offer would suit both investors and owner occupiers alike and we would strongly urge early viewing to appreciate the accommodation and value for money these properties represent.

BoConcept team

Urban design experts from the Chapel Street store take part in Dragon’s Den event BoConcept Liverpool store owner Elaine Cunningham and retail manager Helen Kauffman were among a panel of five dragons at Liverpool Community College on Myrtle Street.

The event organised by designer Ilsa Parry offered 18

students at the college the opportunity to sell their ideas to the judges with a four minute pitch. Following the deliberations of the dragons, five of the students were eventually deemed the pick of the bunch in five different categories, each walking away with HMV gift certificates. The overall winner secured £250

towards the set up of his own events company. BoConcept’s Helen Kauffman commented: “It was a really good afternoon.

Some of the students were only 17 so there was quite a range of ideas but it was nice for them to have some real feedback from the business world. From our perspective it was good to give something back.”

ASK THE AGENT YOUR PROPERTY DILEMMAS SOLVED

SUBJECT:THE PRICE IS RIGHT

Q

I have seen a property I really like in South Liverpool, I know it is a buyers market and I am thinking of offering less than the asking price but I don`t want to lose the property. What would you advise?

A

Whilst it is a buyers market and generally speaking the market is oversupplied, there are still areas of the city that are highly sought after and where properties do not become available very often.

South Liverpool has many addresses that are highly sought after and in these areas properties can sell in just a few weeks, often attracting interest from more than one party. It is tempting to offer less than the asking price as everyone wants to get the best deal that they can but if this is the house of your dreams and you are likely to stay for a number of years, would you really want to risk losing it for a few thousand pounds?

My advice would be to offer the full asking price subject to your survey or mortgage valuation, you can always make a revised offer if your surveyor values the property at less than the asking price. The vendor is not obliged to reduce and may still hold out for the asking price, particularly if there has been a lot of interest. Remember that when choosing between potential buyers, best price is not the only consideration, the Agent will be checking the buyerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to proceed. A vendor may accept a slightly lower offer from someone that is in an immediate position to proceed over a higher offer from someone who has a property to sell and has not yet found a buyer.

There is no text book answer to your question, every vendors circumstances are different and no two sales are alike but you will give yourself the best chance of being successful if you offer the full asking price. Good luck!

SUBJECT:CAN I MANAGE?

Q

I am considering renting out my property, why would you recommend using a fully managed service?

A

Many landlords choose to find their own tenants and manage the property themselves; however the benefits of instructing a reputable agent to find a good tenant and to manage the property during the tenancy are often underestimated.

Whether you have a property portfolio or you are considering letting out your home, then it is a good idea to choose a fully managed service. Managed services are available for landlords to assure that the entire process of renting the property goes smoothly from move in to check out.

Opting for the fully managed service can be incredibly valuable for landlords who are relatively new to the whole process. Nonetheless, even the landlords who have prior experience in renting property often opt for the managed service as it often saves a lot of time and hassle.

By having a fully managed service, a landlord does not only have the benefit of having the property let out, but the managing agent will take the responsibility for looking after the property throughout the tenancy. This includes property checks at regular time intervals, rent collection and chasing arrears and arranging maintenance and repairs of the property when required. We have worked for many years building good relationships with contractors we can trust and of the biggest advantages of choosing a managed service is our bank of approved professional contractors. This means any problem or maintenance issue can be dealt with in a swift and cost effect manner with the hassle taken away from the landlord.

Overall we recognise that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just about introducing a tenant and moving them in, we also appreciate that your property is a valuable asset and which once may have been your home. We understand that it needs to be looked after and managed appropriately.

Q&A With Julia Ford, Solicitor Q I bought a flat from a local developer six years ago.

The lease is made between the developer and myself (there is no management company as a party) who has retained the freehold and delegated management to a local management agency. The developer has now been struck off at companies house for none filing and the management agency is threatening to resign over none payment of service charge/insurance rent. Who is responsible for repairing and insuring?

A We are seeing this as a frequent issue in the current recession. Striking off for none filing is a simple means of winding up without the appointment and cost of a liquidator, if there are no creditors. It is highly likely that there is no outstanding charge on the freehold (if all the flats have been sold off, any finance will have been paid from the proceeds). Normally a lease does not provide for anyone to step in. This means the covenants to insure and repair given by the landlord are unenforceable. Similarly there will be no party ie landlord able to enforce the covenants to pay insurance rent/service charge against the defaulting tenants.

If there are no enforceable rights given to a management company in your lease, then the management agency cannot take action against the defaulting tenants.

Unfortunately in the above circumstances you will not be able to remortgage or sell your flat with good and marketable title. The Council of Mortgage Lenders Handbook (to which most banks and building societies subscribe) state there has to be enforceable covenants for repair and insurance against the landlord or a management company. The management agency is not a party to your lease. So as long as the management agency acts and resigns its appointment in accordance with its terms and conditions of appointment and any professional regulations there is no action you can take against it, even if it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t your course of action is limited as the appointment was made by the developer.

The tenants could acquire the freehold from the Crown details of which are in our next editorial For expert advice contact: Julia Ford, Solicitor JST Lawyers, Colonial Chambers, Temple Street, Liverpool, L2 5RH DDI: 0151 282 2876 Email: jford@jstlaw.co.uk Web: www.jstlaw.co.uk

I’ve always been interested in England and John Moores gave me the opportunity to study what I wanted so I haven’t looked back since. The people are friendly and I’ve got a lot of friends here now. I’m applying to do a PhD next year and I’m more than likely to stay here.

I’d looked around the city centre but this was a clear favourite. I’d say the view is the best thing about it. It’s nice waking up in the morning and seeing the docks and the Liver Buildings. Obviously it’s in a great area as well. There are bars and restaurants on your doorstep and if you want more of a relaxed night you can go to the Odeon in Liverpool One.

It’s a really nice bathroom. You can tell by the quality they’ve put a lot of care into it. Some places you see look run down after six months!

The apartment came fully furnished and I had a choice of the style. I went for the more contemporary look. I love the orange couch and watching the flat screen TV on the wall. I watch a lot of football and I’m a big Fulham fan like my Dad and Granddad. I went to the final and the two semi finals recently.

I also like to watch other sports and documentaries.

As a postgraduate it’s ideal because I didn’t really want to be living in a place with a lot of undergraduates where it would be a lot noisier. Everyone is well behaved and really take care of the building because it’s so nice.

I also got two free years at the gym when I bought the flat.

I love the shape. It’s like a continental style the way you can pass food through to the living space. It’s all modern and everything I needed was included. I just brought in a kettle and toaster and things like that. My Auntie has a lot of Australian friends so she’s brought me a lot of cool Australian stuff for the kitchen. I’ve been away from home for five years so I’m pretty good at cooking now. I cook a lot of Belguim dishes like beef stew and things like chicken stir-fry. With my course I stick to a diet plan.

CALL NOW 36 Your Move

For sales and lettings enquiries at One Park West, telephone agents King Sturge on 0151 242 6490, or visit www.oneparkwest.co.uk

I wanted time to see how the apartment looked before I brought my own stuff in. I’m going to install my Sony stereo system and I want to put a couple of picture frames on the wall. I’d also like a shoe rack and perhaps another little table.

I’ve seen a couple in IKEA.

INTERIOR DESIGN

Ask the expert GOT AN INTERIOR DESIGN DILEMMA? EMAIL US AT POST@MOVEPUBLISHING.CO.UK

I hope you can help me with my dilemma! I would like to buy two chairs for my lounge that would be suitable and look equally as good in the garden. I don’t have a conservatory, but have large French windows that open from my lounge into the garden. The rest of the furniture in my lounge is an eclectic mix of both contemporary design and vintage finds.

With over ten years’ experience in the interior design business, Sharon Armor is poised to answer all your design queries from DIY disasters to decorating dilemmas.

I would consider the Acapulco Chair. The chair was designed and produced in Mexico in the fifties, making it a stylish piece of furniture with a contemporary twist. The Acapulco Chair Company have launched this product in the UK, this exclusive range can be used in any indoor and outdoor space. The chairs are available in various colours from classic mono tones to exhilarating splashes of colour. The weave sling seat also makes it a really relaxing and comfortable seat. www.acapulcochaircompany.com

We are currently undertaking a renovation project on an old Georgian property. Whilst we would like the period features to remain intact, we also want to consider more innovative options especially in lighting. Are there any new lighting products that you think are exciting enough for us to consider?

Could you please help me find some paint, to match the perfect colour I've found! Last year a friend gave me a present wrapped in the most beautiful handmade paper.

The colour of the paper is perfect for my lounge, but I’m having problems finding a similar paint colour. Do you have any tips to help me find it?

Dulux has a new online tool which may be able to help you can find it at www.dulux.co.uk/colourclick. The process to find the colour is really simple. First you need to get a colour frame card, which can be picked up in store or ordered online, the card has a square cut out of the middle, you need to place this square over the item you want to match, and then take a photograph. Next you simply upload this image onto the website and it will automatically find the nearest matching paint colour to it. www.dulux.co.uk/colourclick

The lighting company Floss at the Milan Furniture Fair exhibited a new range of lighting called 'soft architecture'. These lighting designs can be fully integrated into their immediate architecture. This is a fantastic new concept that demonstrates how light and architecture can coexist. Products can be placed directly into your ceiling or walls and the joints can be plastered over to create a seamless finish. I think this range is perfect for you to consider for your renovation project. There are lots of various designs for you to choose from.

Wall piercing is a projection ring that will wash your whole wall with light. The product can be used alone or in a collection where you can create your own effect. I love the three dimension lamps that pop straight out of the wall. www.soft-architecture.com

TABLE TALK

“a city lawyer in the village”

LUCY OLIVER HAS LUNCH WITH.... conveyancer at Morecroft, Tracy Thompson

he Crosby Music Festival over the recent Bank Holiday saw 80 acts put on a spectacular show in the village, including The Christians, and Morecrofts Solicitors in Crosby was proud to be a sponsor of the annual event. The long established family firm goes a long way to supporting the village’s community feel. Indeed, the Pioneer Bar & Brasserie is known for its welcoming and

a high street presence and it’s family friendly, all the things that people need and come to rely on in their legal affairs.”

Tracy also advises small commercial property owners and business owners, and it’s clear that she is keen to support the independent retailers and firms across the local area in the face of global corporates. She adds: “The high street is being taken over by multinationals, but we need to keep fighting

“welcoming and lively atmosphere even on a weekday lunchtime” lively atmosphere even on a weekday lunchtime, and makes an ideal meeting point for a meal with Tracy Thompson, a licensed conveyancer at Morecrofts. Tracy has been with the 1813-established firm, for over six years now, working on the residential and small commercial property side of the business. She takes care of clients who want to release their equity, transfer property within a family, and all property matters. Says Tracy: “I knew I wanted to work at Morecrofts because I could see that it’s a place where the team really get to know their clients, and do their best to help them. It’s got

that to keep quality services available locally. At Morecrofts, we describe ourselves as a city lawyer in the village; we can offer the expertise you expect from the city but we’re a local firm and we understand local needs and interests.” As we relax in the Pioneer, Tracy enjoys an omelette while I sample the Thai green chicken curry as we discuss Tracy’s career, from working as a nurse and retraining in property law.

Her on the job training, distance learning and the commute to Halifax for additional training after work reveal dedication and commitment to her career,

although she is also a married mum of two and until recently, was an active member of the BNI networking organization.

Over coffee and a perusal of the dessert menu, which highlights sticky toffee pudding, treacle tart and cheese and biscuits among its selection, our discussion turns to the firm’s growth. Morecrofts has four branches across the north-west, in Tithebarn Street, Liverpool Crosby, Birkenhead and Woolton, but maintains a small firm feel with a personal approach to dealing with clients.

This attribute is becoming increasingly rare in the legal profession, where bigger firms take a factory approach to the business, often dealing with clients only on the telephone or encouraging them to use online

resources. Tracy is keenly aware that, while useful, technology is no substitute for receiving the right advice when it comes to matters this important. She comments: We’re increasingly being marketed the idea that the internet makes experts of us all and that anyone can access any services they need cheaply online. It’s just not true. Trained professionals have spent years learning their skills, and the facility to, for example, write a will online can’t replace that.”

Judging by the firm’s loyal client base, Tracy is not alone in holding this viewpoint, and on the firm’s 200th birthday in 2013 the celebrations of its enduring services to the community will be a fitting tribute to those values.

PIONEER BAR & BRASSERIE – 107 LIVERPOOL ROAD, CROSBY, LIVERPOOL, L23 5TD –

The freshly prepared sandwiches and specials are perfect for lunch.

Local feel and great atmosphere.

PAGEANT OF POWER fantastic display of speed and style took place on The Strand and Liverpool’s waterfront, the first Liverpool Pageant of Power. Brought to the city by the organisers of the well-established Cholmondeley event in Cheshire, the spectacle saw high-powered Grand Prix, Le Mans, rally and supercars with racing bikes roar through The Strand while Formula 2 and 4 power-boats and jet-skis raced around the docks and acrobatic displays took place in the skies above. The festivities, which saw 25,000 spectators gather at Liverpool One and the docklands, were certainly an excellent complement to Liverpool One’s second birthday.
