RAMP UP YOUR KERB APPEAL Never mind wondering if a buyer will like the bathroom, people make up their mind if they like a property much earlier. Your Move reports.

WORDS BY EMMA PINCH It takes just eight seconds for a buyer to decide whether they like a property.

Eight seconds. Never mind worrying if they’ll clock the grotty grouting.

Viewing a house, eight seconds is the time it takes to clamber from the car, check your top for spillages and pull open the front gate.

Because it’s a fact that just like books, people judge a house by its cover. They shouldn’t, but they do.

Peeling paintwork, a rotting sofa in next door’s garden, that set of ceramic smurfs – a wealth 24 Your Move

of small detail can make the door to possibility in a buyer’s mind clang shut.

Some houses of course, can stand a little superficial dilapidation. Buyers are unlikely to be put off a 17th century thatched cottage with a brace of errant brambles on the path.

But for the vast majority of homes, owners need to employ

Phil Lawton

every weapon in their sales arsenal. Not just to sell their property, but get footfall through the door.

“Buying a house is a very emotive issue,” says Phil Lawton, a director at Sutton Kersh. “People do judge a property on first impressions and if a house is attractive externally they are much more likely to

view it. It’s a process that takes place in the subconscious.”

Websites provide the evidence.

“We know that on property websites homes that always have the highest click through rates are the ones with attractive front gardens”, says Phil.

Lisa Green director of The County Homesearch Company firmly agrees. “Kerb appeal really matters, especially at the moment. Most buyers will drive past a property before they book a viewing, so you need to attract them to come inside.”

Optimising the ‘drive past’ is especially significant for city homes.

“We always advise people to have a For Sale sign up because of buyers passing by who haven’t approached an agent, and if you live on a main road

HOT TOPIC it’s especially valuable advertising,” says Vicky Burton, assistant sales and lettings manager at King Sturge.

A spotless entrance won’t necessarily add value to the property. But whatever you’ve spent doing up the kitchen or bathroom doesn’t matter much if you can’t get anyone through the door.

“The bottom line is if the front of the house looks tatty

HOW TO REFRESH YOUR FRONTAGE THE FRONT DOOR

A freshly painted or varnished front door is very important, says Phil. Choose the colour that harmonises with the style of the house or with neighbouring houses. On a traditional Victorian house a bold colour like a bright red might suit it.

“Just 8 seconds to decide if you like a property” or untidy it gives the impression the house isn’t cared for,” says Phil.

And Lisa adds: “There’s no need to spend a lot – a fresh lick of paint can work wonders – and keep on top of the gardening.”

GO GREEN

“My main advice is to take your lead from the property,” says Lisa. “I personally think a wooden door is very attractive, but if the rest of the house is uPVC it might look out of place.

“If it’s a high end property go for the best quality door, but if

Vicky Burton

you just want to smarten up, go for something that does the job.”

DE-PERSONALISE

No gnomes. No giant butterflies.

No porches piled with household detritus or pottery hedgehog collections. “Once you decide to sell your home you should no longer think of it as your house,” says Lisa. “It’s as important to depersonalise and declutter the outside as much as inside.”

LIGHTEN UP

Good garden lighting should be very subtle, but is generally only necessary if you’ve got a long dark drive, says Lisa. Bear in mind lights inside the home that will be seen from outside if curtains are left open.

Lamps can make it seem warm and welcoming.

DO THE DRIVEWAY

“Try and keep wheelie bins out of sight and if you have an open plan frontage take any litter away that blows across it,” says Phil. Cars and bikes should be parked neatly, and leaving space to park on the drive if kerbside spots are scarce is an appreciated touch. Broken fences and gates are obviously a turn off, adds Lisa.

A burst of tidy, vibrant greenery has universal appeal, especially on a paved over garden.

“Hanging baskets are lovely, especially in the spring,” says Phil. “If it’s tidy and kept trimmed, greenery is good. That doesn’t go if it’s sprouting out of the gutter though.”

“We do say to people it’s worth putting in planters outside,” says Lisa. “But remember, it doesn’t work if the plants in them are dead.”

It goes without saying lawns should be mowed and after weeding it’s well worth covering the soil with weed-blocking bark to keep unwanted growth down.

SPARKLING WINDOWS

Nothing says uncared for like grimy windows or rotting sills.

Clean or repaint or replace them.

“Remember too that if your house opens out onto the street, people may be able to see in,” says Vicky. “So it’s helpful to keep window ledges clean and clutter free and the front room tidy.”

LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOUR

It’s all very well sprucing up your own house, but what if the neighbour is sabotaging kerb appeal?

“It depends on how good your relationship is with your neighbour,” says Phil, “but one idea is to say you’re tidying up your own front garden and offer to tidy theirs too.”

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

NEW AGE OF ESTATE AGENTS New estate agent Abode is planning on taking Crosby by storm by offering innovative ways to sell homes within 12 weeks.

The new agency which opens its doors on 21 March, on Liverpool Road, Crosby, is dedicated to changing the face of home selling and buying by offering an unrivalled customer service. At the heart of their service is providing customers with constant updates on their viewings. They offer weekly updates on interest collated from property portals such as Rightmove, as well as feedback from all enquires and immediate analysis following viewings. Abode is run by four directors, who are qualified financial advisors, and own a number of other companies in property development, mortgage and lettings.

Director David Burns commented: “We are very much

Census form deadline Residents across Liverpool are being urged to fill in the Census or the city could miss out on £150m of funding over a decade.

During the last Census, only 89 per cent of households in Liverpool returned the document so the city’s population was underestimated by over 10,000 people - meaning it has lost out on at least £150 million in funding across the public sector over the decade.

The Census is an estimate of the population carried out by the Office for National Statistics (ONS), in which everyone is asked the same questions on the same day, 27 March.

The amount of money that public services such as the police, fire, ambulance, the NHS and the council receive is based upon the city’s population.

Residents can either return their form by pre-paid post or complete it online. Anyone with questions can call the Census helpline on 0300 0201 101 or visit www.census.gov.uk

customer-obsessed, and will keep you updated constantly using state-of-the-art technology software to track the progress of your sale. We would also like to help customers who are struggling to move due to lack of interest or negative equity as there are still options available and we have the ability to help.

We have over 40 years collective experience as financial and mortgage advisers.

“If your home has been on the market for a while we also offer a house doctor service,” David commented. “We can look at reasons why your home isn’t selling and give you advice and make recommendations on new ways to make your home more appealing to prospective buyers.

Most estate agents will offer this advice, but Abode has access to its own in house building team to manage the works. This could really help you reach the price you want to achieve.”

The company has also invested in high-tech virtual tour systems at their offices. Abode is offering their first 50 customers a free premium listing on Rightmove.com, free virtual tour, free EPC and a discounted

sales fee.

Museum of Liverpool opening date announced The Museum of Liverpool will launch 100 years to the very day that its iconic neighbour the Royal Liver Building opened its doors.

The largest newly-built national museum in Britain for more than a century, the new

Museum of Liverpool, will open to the public for the first time on Tuesday, 19 July.

Visitors to the new museum in July will be able to see for themselves the magnificence of the Liver Birds, in one of the galleries overlooking the Three Graces. Janet Dugdale, director

The Museum of Liverpool

of the Museum of Liverpool said: “Until now, people have found it very difficult to grasp the sheer size of the birds that perch on top of what was once the tallest building in Britain. Visitors in the People’s Republic gallery will now be able to stand next to an 18ft life-size Liver Bird, whilst looking across at the real thing.”

Housing more than 6,000 other objects, many that have never been on public display, visitors can unearth an array of stories from the Ice Age to the present day. People can witness the city’s growth into the world’s greatest port, see at first hand the last remaining carriage from the famous Liverpool Overhead Railway, and immerse themselves in the city’s rich sporting and creative history.

Norris Green Village regeneration CGI

Liverpool City Council Leader, Joe Anderson, marked a milestone in the regeneration of the Norris Green area of Liverpool when he attended the handover of the 152nd new home to be built for Cobalt Housing by house builder New City Vision.

New City Vision’s Managing Director Don Craven handed over the keys of the first six homes in the new third phase of its Ellergreen

development to Cobalt Housing’s Managing Director Alan Rogers and Cy Powell, Director of Regeneration. A further 20 homes are to be completed for Cobalt Housing in late summer in the £3m scheme, which is part funded by the Homes and Communities Agency.

New City Vision’s Don Craven added: “The shortage of supply of new homes was highlighted in February when the Government figures confirmed that completions of new homes in England hit an all time low in 2010. New City

Vision is bucking the trend and delivering more new homes to meet the demand.”

New City Vision is also offering a choice of two, three and four-bed homes with the Government backed HomeBuy Direct, shared equity scheme. People that qualify for the scheme could own a new home for just 70 per cent of the cost.

Maria Colleran

30 Your Move

The company formed to cover the inventory needs of lettings agents and landlords in the South Liverpool area but soon developed close links with a number of companies in the city centre, Warrington, Chester and Manchester areas. Having worked in lettings since 1999, Maria puts the

company’s success down to professionalism and high quality reports. "We take time to understand what each individual client needs from their inventory partner,” she said. “We listen and advise how best we can help to save them time and money and avoid costly disputes.

Our clients realise quite early on just how invaluable having an experienced and reliable inventory provider is and although we are completely independent, many of our clients see us as a crucial part of their lettings business.”

Client Martyn Green, partner at

King Sturge, congratulated the company on reaching this milestone. He commented: “We have been using Lets Support for many years and I have found them to be extremely professional, trustworthy and excellent value for money. Having experienced several inventory claims we use Lets Support exclusively.”

HAVE YOUR SAY YOUR VIEWS ON BIG ISSUES

With Spring approaching which Liverpool event are you looking forward to?

“Liverpool is without doubt one of THE festival cities of the UK with events like Liverpool Sound City continuing to grow, impress and put Liverpool on the festival map.

I am really excited about the new three-day International Brazilica Festival bringing Latin fever to the city centre in July. Other events to look out for are Physical Fest and the return of Liverpool Pride; last year’s event was the surprise highlight of the year! ”

Bill Elms director of Bill Elms Associates

“Definitely, the Mathew Street Festival! I love that the best of the city comes out and performs. It is a really showcase for Liverpool and all the music it has to offer - I go every year and will not be missing it this year. I was in the Metro pub last year and they had a Kings of Leon tribute band - I just love the Kings of Leon - and it was amazing. The whole festival is run so well and it brings in so much money and people into the city, which is great for all of us. It is a great August bank holiday weekend to look forward to.”

David Burns director at Abode

“We have got such an abundance of diverse and fantastic events from Petrenko's complete programme of Mahler to tasting food from all around the world at Liverpool Food and Drink Festival. From music to food to family to dance to magical lantern parades to tall ships, we have it in spades on international, national and local stages.

However if you are going to pin me down I am really looking forward to Liverpool Sound City and Liverpool's Brazilica carnival!”

Mike James

“As a seasoned runner the onset of spring means dusting off the trainers and pounding the streets.

This year the announcement of the return of the Liverpool Marathon (9 October) has added a little extra impetus into the training, beginning with the Liverpool Half on 27 March. The prospect of running the marathon through the streets of our great city is only tempered by the thought of running through the tunnel as the marathon heads from its starting point in Birkenhead to its finish by Albert Dock. The likelihood of a personal best these days is remote but a half decent time (3.15?), a cracking route, 12,000 Scousers and a big lunch at the fantastic Liverpool One is more than enough to persuade me to run the marathon for the very last time!”

sales & marketing manager at Liverpool Empire

Alan Bevan

“I’m really looking forward to the Legally Blonde opening in Liverpool - it’s the first stop in the UK tour at the Empire in July. It is THE all singing, all dancing, and feel-good musical comedy. It’s a West End sensation and has just won Best New Musical, Best New Actress and Best Supporting Role in this year’s Olivier Awards. The city has become really great at attracting top shows from the West End and this is definitely going to be my summer delight.”

Where I live is city living for adults – I’m not 20 anymore. I chose this flat because I fancied living in a city centre again. Before this I lived in Aigburth and Manchester City Centre. Here I’m close to my gym and I can go and have a couple of drinks without worrying about taxis. But while it’s very much city centre, it’s a bit quieter too.

In my spare time I’m a theatre director with a group called Particip8 and one wall is going to be dedicated to our reviews. The first one on it is a fantastic review we had for Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf, which we performed at the Unity Theatre.

My dad has been a welder all his life but took up art and he’s really good. He just said, “I’ve painted this picture for your flat” and I love it. I’ve no idea why he painted a cow.

My ideal Sunday morning is going to the gym, going to get The Observer, and making a cooked breakfast at home. When I’m cooking I like to listen to the radio, which I chose to match the clock, from Clas Ohlsen. As it’s open plan, I can watch TV from the kitchen too. In the summer I’m looking forward to breakfast out on the balcony.

India was the maddest place I’ve ever been. Just landing at the airport and looking out of the window and seeing people cycling across the runway was a culture shock. I picked up my Mother Teresa figurine when I went travelling there 10 years ago.

I hate wallpaper. My style is very much minimalist and monochrome. My friend did this painting for me of Billie Holiday, who I love.

Alex Corina, who painted the Mona Lennon, is going to do a big monochrome painting of the Liverpool skyline for me.

ANDY PARSON'S

INTERVIEW BY EMMA PINCH

Tell us about Gruntled.

David Cameron has asked the National Office of Statistics to produce a happiness index to work out how happy the British public are. I’m conducting my own assessment of how happy they are. I’m making the point that cutting things from the public sector is not making people as happy as they might imagine.

Sounds personal…

It’s very much from a personal perspective.

The show is trying to say something relevant about different things like tuition fees, NHS policies and David Cameron himself, pretending to be one of us – how we’re all in this together. But if you’re married to the daughter of a baron and worth five million quid, I would suggest maybe you’re not quite one of us. Maybe only one of us is living in the real world.

A lot of people feel betrayed. They feel they’ve got a coalition government nobody voted for. There’s a lot of disenchantment out there.

Is political satire making a comeback then?

I think there’s always been politics in stand

up comedy; it just hasn’t been as high profile for a few years. I started off writing for Spitting Image in the early 90s so I’ve always done it. But there is more stand up on TV now.

Some stand up comics – your MTW colleague Frankie Boyle for example – have had their knuckles rapped over jokes on TV lately. Are we getting too sensitive?

It’s not that you can’t have a go at people, but if you are doing so you need to work out why.

If you take this stuff about Eamonn Holmes for example (the BBC pulled sketches poking fun at Holmes’ weight after he complained), instead of about being fat, it’s more reasonable to have a go because he’s been on the telly for 30 years and hasn’t done a TV show that is any good.

The BBC is publically funded so they are very sensitive to criticism, and that’s what a little of my new show is about.

But if you don’t want bland TV, the next time the Daily Mail says people have complained about a show, all the people who didn’t find it offensive should complain about it not being repeated.

How did you get into comedy?

Through the back door, through not wanting to do other stuff. I studied Law at university and I wasn’t interested in doing

that at all. I got a very disappointing job in a law firm and spent one day a week writing comedy. Then I got made redundant and started getting work at the BBC. Writing for yourself is really satisfying. You can take something that’s going on today and do something with it on stage tomorrow. You’re not being limited by producers.

What’s the worst job you’ve ever had?

Easily, it was a job washing dishes in France which included polishing copper pans - the most frustrating thing I’ve ever done. After two months it was so bad I got ill one day. They tried to convince me I was hung over and drunk – even though I hadn’t been drinking - and made me get up. It wasn’t until I puked up they took me to see a doctor, who diagnosed food poisoning. Remembering that is all I need to keep me working hard at comedy.

What’s the real Andy Parsons like?

I tend to be quite shy. You would never catch me in performance mode in every day life. I would be walking past you with my hat pulled down. There’s still part of me that is more writer than performer.

Gruntled is at the Liverpool Philharmonic on April 29.

INTERIOR DESIGN

Ask the expert 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.

CURTAIN QUANDARY

We have a property near to Sefton Park in Liverpool, and spent most of last year lovingly restoring the apartment. In the living room we have restored and painted the coving, wooden panelling and sliding sash windows in an off white. We have also reinstated a beautiful oak wooden floor. The furniture we want to use in the room is a collection of inherited favourites and items we have collected ourselves over the years. Now the project is nearly completed we are struggling with what to do with the windows. Could you help suggest what style of curtain could look best and what type of fabric? We would be really interested to see what you suggest.

The room you have lovingly restored sounds so beautiful, as with any scheme it is always easy to lose momentum or sight of how the space will look at the end of the project. Given that you have such wonderful features in the room such as the panelling and sash windows, I would be inclined to look at the option of Roman Blinds. Roman Blinds enable you to use luxurious fabrics whilst still giving a soft elegant feel. I think they would emphasise the clean lines in the room whilst adding a twist of contemporary sparkle. This style would also enhance the collection of elective furniture you have collected over the years. When it comes to choosing your fabric, I would suggest finding a fabric that is traditional in design with a contemporary colour way. I have seen the new spring collections and I love the fabric Nizam from Osborne and Little. The fabric is a colourful large repeat Paisley embroidered design. It gives a wonderful exotic feeling of the orient, which would be in perfect keeping with your home.

Rack em’ up

www.osborneandlittle.com

I am looking for a wooden magazine rack holder for my kitchen. Everything I come across is either too boring, plain or dated. If you could find me one that is eco friendly or has green credentials it would definitely be a winner! After all I do need something fantastic to keep all my copies of Your Move in.

Please help?

It sounds like you want a magazine rack holder with quirky appeal, and as it so happens I have found the perfect home for your collection of Your Move magazines. Sold by Kay & Stemmer the Tutti Frutti plywood magazine holder is made from recycled silkscreened printed plywood fruit crates. The holder is very unique and has been made as a part of a limited edition run. The magazine holder would look perfect in your kitchen and would definitely pass on green credentials. www.kay-stemmer.com

CASH-SAVING

CUSHIONS

I have recently moved into a furnished apartment. The furniture is basic but great. I would like to make the apartment more of my own without spending lots of money.

I have thought about buying some cushions, the sofas are plain black leather. So something colourful would be great! Not floral or stripes, but an image perhaps that would add interest to the space.

The company Dwell could have just what you’re looking for. They have a collection called Birds and Bees. The cushions are made from 100% silk and have graphic images of insects, butterflies etc. The images would definitely add interest to your room and the colours are right on trend this season being bold acid bright. I particularly like the Beetle cushion with its acid lime, turquoise and purple colours. www.dwell.co.uk Your Move 47

EMMA PINCH HAS LUNCH WITH....

Peter Vella, regional sales director, Countryside Properties eter Vella wouldn’t say he’s a neat freak – but you wouldn’t find any plates “left to soak” at his gaff.

Not at his or the show apartment he looks after as regional Countryside Properties sales and marketing director, at the new Mann Island development.

“If I’m honest,” confesses Peter, “I’m a bit too house-proud.

I get a little upset if people leave a mess. I’m always straightening cushions and making sure everything looks fantastic.

“People can see squashed cushions and creased laundry at home. I want people to come in and think, ‘wow, this is how I wish I lived’.

The lifestyle vision for Mann Island’s two residential blocks, Latitude and Longitude, has been integral part of its marketing. ‘Life to a better degree’ is the slogan emblazoned across the promo photographs in its glossy sales brochure, a nod to the sharp architecture, maritime links, and remarkable location of the blocks.

My starter is for new homes netted him his Tom Kha (£7.50), a delicate hot dream job. “I was at a new and sour chicken soup development, and I thought, I flavoured with lemongrass, could do that, sit in a show galangal and coconut milk and home and sell homes. I hated studded with cherry tomatoes working behind a desk all day.”

My main is Kiew Wan Hoy shell (£16) – grilled scallops in green curry sauce topped with crispy Thai herbs. The dish was prettily arranged across a long plate, tendrils of salad at one end, curry at the other. The scallops were plump and soft and the perfumed sauce packed a fiery punch. Chunks of courgette were the only bland note. Peter’s main is Pad Med Mamuong Himmaparn (£7.50), a dish of chicken, cashew nut, dried chilli and vegetables in a lightly spiced sauce.

Verdict? Peter loved the Satay – “light, sweet and really tasty” – while for me the soup was the highlight: a faultless blend of sweet, sour and salt, with a hint of heat.

I ask him what his dream pad would be like – discounting Mann Island.

“Remember that big white house overlooking the ocean in that Julia Roberts film, Sleeping With the Enemy?” he says.

“There.” Home also to a rather obsessive tidier too, as I recall.

“Once, when I’d gone out to collect a takeaway, my friends rearranged all the china in my cupboard,” he recalls, a touch sheepishly. “But I’m really not that bad.”

Peter, we believe you!

he Martini Lounge celebrated Valentines in a way that only a Burlesque show can, with scintillating performances playing to a packed out house at St Georges Hall. Liverpool’s Queen of Burlesque and Martini Lounge producer Miss Millie Dollar was joined by a host of exquisite performers including world renowned burlesque star Anna Fur Laxis, blues singer Coco Malone, award winning magician Paul Dabek and comic diva Mysti Vine, who also compéred the evening. The audience were treated to a 2 course dinner and exciting performances all with a valentines theme. Those in attendance were also treated to a taster of a vintage fair, which took place in the foyer. A number of budding burlesque performers took part in two sold out workshops held in Heebie Jeebies the day after. The Martini Lounge returns to St Georges Hall on Sat 9 April – wwww.martinilounge.co.uk.
