THE FUTURE OF HOUSE HUNTING
Imagine you’re driving past your perfect house and it comes on the market, but the estate agent is closed. Or, you see your ideal home to rent in a magazine but by the time you’ve phoned the letting agent it’s already gone. Now imagine a world where you see a home in a magazine or drive past it and almost instantaneously you find out if it’s available, you book an appointment and a hop and a skip later it’s yours.

HOT TOPIC state and letting agents are quickly catching up to the fast-paced digital world of Facebook, Twitter and Smart phones, utilising these innovative tools to complement their traditional marketing. In the not so distant future, people will be able to use all different forms of technology combined with the traditional ways of using estate agents because after all there’s nothing like dealing with real people - to find their perfect home. Estate and letting agents are already embracing the rapidly encroaching world of the internet, now available via computer, phone, TV and so much more. The final frontier is the merging of physical and digital world, the steps between the two as minimal as possible. This is science fact, and local agents are onboard, using digital technology and the internet to interact with their customer powerfully.
E
QR CODES Although Keppie Massie Residential already has a strong online presence through their website and social networking websites, it is their
venture into Smart phones with their QR Code, which is the most exciting development so far. A QR Code is an interactive barcode, and one which will be displayed across all of Keppie Massie’s residential and commercial advertising. Using a Smart phone (iPhone, Android etc) house hunters can ‘scan’ the barcode which immediately takes them to Keppie Massie’s real-time website, where the content of property available is updated continuously - giving people that extra advantage when looking for a home. Ian Taylor, residential sales and lettings manager, said: “We’ve had a good rate of people using the QR Code and the people coming through to the website have been higher than ever before. Although there are a good amount of people who prefer to use the traditional way of contacting us by phone, the use of QR Codes has changed the way we do business. “By the end of the year we will be implementing the QR Code for sales and revamping our website.”
FACEBOOK Facebook has over 800 million active users; half of them log in every day. Facebook is a massively powerful tool, one that
businesses are utilising to reach a new audience, to be connected with people at all time. Andrew Louis is one of many making use of this social media tool to keep in touch with customers. “As a company, Andrew Louis has always embraced innovation,” says Louis Anastasiou, managing director of Andrew Louis. “The property market is constantly changing and so is technology. In the past few years we have redesigned our website, purchased a new state-of-the-art property software and we have joined Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. Shortly, we will be launching a website designed for easier navigation for all users of Smart phones.”

Freshers success for Student Union Lettings Recently launched Student Union Lettings have lived up to their promise of offering unrivalled access to the city’s students by being the only lettings agent to attend the Liverpool Students Union (Liverpool SU) Fresher’s Week. Liverpool SU and city centre agent City Residential formed the joint venture Student Union Lettings in a bid to improve not only the image of the student lettings market but also ensure that both students and landlords have a positive experience. Andy Schofield, manager at Student Union Lettings, said: “An astounding 12,000 LJMU students passed through the fair during the five days and the response from them was incredible. They were particularly excited at being able to rent a student property from a letting agent who combined the trust of Liverpool Student Union
with the management expertise of City Residential. “As a special initiative, we are now offering landlords a 50 per cent reduction on the first three-month’s management of all properties listed with us in October.” Research shows that many landlords are beginning to witness a drop in interest levels
particularly in and around the traditional student hotspot of Smithdown Road, something that is likely to accelerate next year with the introduction of higher tuition fees. Student Union Lettings believe that their unrivalled access to the tens of thousands of Liverpool SU students will ensure that all of their
landlords have the best chance of successfully securing new tenants for the next academic year and are keen to discuss with new landlords how they can take advantage of this phenomenal demand. For more information telephone Andy Schofield on 0151 231 6102.

Like many social landlords coping with the economic down turn, Riverside Home Ownership (RHO) has rethought its strategy around its Shared Ownership homes. They have introduced a new Intermediate Rent scheme to bridge the gap between renting and becoming a homeowner. The scheme allows people to pay lower rent in order to save for a deposit. Intermediate Rent tenants can expect a high quality property with excellent management services, often in much sought after neighbourhoods. Pam McGirr, housing services manager at RHO, said: “We are proud to offer households struggling for a deposit to buy a home the chance to live in an aspirational property at a subsidised rent for a fixed period of time. By paying a reduced rent, tenants have the chance to save for a deposit whilst already enjoying all the comforts of a brand new home.” As part of Riverside’s commitment to Intermediate Rent, the flagship Kensington Square development in Liverpool 7 has 25 apartments specifically for the intermediate market available now.

University student David Millwood, from Cardiff, and grandmother Maudry Millwood recently bought a onebedroom apartment in St Paul’s Square, situated in the centre of the Liverpool business district. Spacious one-bedroom apartments are available from just £96,950. I came to Liverpool to do a second degree in architecture. My grandmother bought the apartment as an investment, which is going to save me a lot of money in rent. We looked at St Paul’s Square from a position that when I finish university we can rent the apartment out quite easily because of all the businesses around here.
We negotiated to get all the furniture from their show apartment. I’ve added to the furniture and colour scheme with basic things like the settee, table and TV but other than that it all came ready. My grandmother gave me the Welsh Cream Liqueur to bring some of home back here, which I’m not allowed to open until she comes to visit.
I liked Liverpool straight away because it felt like a miniature London. I looked at apartments closer to the city centre but they seemed quite noisy with nightclubs nearby. I wanted somewhere a bit quieter where I can concentrate if I need to. It’s nice that it’s not so far away from the university, the Albert Dock and Liverpool ONE. I like all the light and space in the apartment. I wanted somewhere with space to do my drawings. I like that the open plan front room is a regular square, a lot of the apartments I looked had funny angles and for me it wouldn’t work.
CALL NOW
For more information about St Paul’s Square visit www.theperfectsquare.co.uk, or call Jones Lang LaSalle 0151 242 6490.
The bedroom has great space and light to fit my drawing board. Eventually I will decorate the walls as they are just white right now, and I will probably put paintings up. I have one of the drawings I did from when I was doing my A-levels, which I will put up in the kitchen.
The colour scheme in the flat looks great, the green and orange are really my colours. I’m a modern, contemporary person so it all goes really well. There’s also a lot of storage space which you don’t expect from city centre apartments.

Advice from chartered accountants 0151 228 8977
Wrong name on the deeds?
Julia Casimo
My husband and I have just sold our buy-to-let property. We bought this many years ago in my name only, as it was easier for me to get a mortgage at that time, although the deposit money came from our joint savings. Now we have sold it, at a substantial gain. I am a higher rate tax payer and my husband has no other income/gains in the year. I have realised that for Capital Gains Tax purposes, it would have been much better to have had the property in joint names – is there anything we can do?
These factors are as follows • Legal title, ie whose name is on the deeds? • Occupation of the property • Receipt of any rental income, was it paid into a joint account and enjoyed by you both? • Provision of funds to purchase the property • Receipt of sale proceeds on disposal – was it paid into a joint account, or have you divided it equally? No single one of these factors should be considered in isolation, and each case must be considered on the facts. HMRC would also look at background information, so if you and your husband hold all other assets jointly then this would also be a helpful factor. Keeping good records and evidence will therefore be important, particularly in cases where beneficial ownership is unclear.
As with many decisions you really do need to take independent financial and tax advice. If you would like our help call Julia Casimo on 0151 228 8977 at John Kerr Chartered Accountants 369-375 Eaton Road, West Derby, Liverpool L12 2AH. Authorised and regulated by The Financial Services Authority

The legal owner of an asset is not necessarily the beneficial owner. It is beneficial ownership (not legal ownership) which a Capital Gains Tax liability principally follows. To reduce your tax bill, you would need to be able to argue that the house was beneficially jointly owned, irrespective of what the deeds may have said. The taxman will generally assume that if one spouse paid for an asset and is the sole legal owner, unless there is evidence to the contrary, that they are also the beneficial owner. But following a recent tax case on this subject, HMRC have confirmed that they will take a number of factors into consideration when determining beneficial ownership.

HAVE YOUR SAY YOUR VIEWS ON BIG ISSUES “If you lived in a council house for 30 years and had been paying rent for all this time then it would be a good idea to buy. But it’s a difficult question because then there are not enough council houses to accommodate everybody. If new people want to rent will there be houses to rent? Or if they want to buy are there even enough homes to buy? These are all important questions.”
Lana Glove Insurance
Prime Minister David Cameron has recently announced plans to boost the ‘right to buy’ council housing scheme introduced under Margaret Thatcher in the 1980s. Discounts will be increased encouraging home ownership, with the money raised used to build more homes for rent.
Is the ‘right to buy’ scheme a good idea? “I was brought up in a council house and my dad never wanted to buy, he used to say: ‘I’m quite happy renting’, but when he passed away my mum bought her home and it cost £5,000 over 20 years ago. I think it’s an excellent idea, if I lived in a council home and had the opportunity to buy I definitely would.”
Jayne Johnston Trainer
“I know a lot of people, parents of my friends, who bought their council houses but I probably would have preferred to buy when Tony Blair was in power because it was easier to borrow money through the banks and it’s not at the moment. My mum and grandma live in social housing but even then, I don’t think they could afford to buy their houses.”
Paul Talbot Physiotherapist
“I think it is a good thing that there will be a push giving more people the access to buying their home. Nowadays, people desperately want to get on the property ladder and such a scheme would encourage more home ownership. But then again it depends on the amount of money they are asking people; they haven’t released any figures yet.”
“The right to buy scheme has been in operation in this country for some time. In theory, it’s an excellent idea but then there’s the actual application of such an idea and whether it works in the long term, and also whether any money accrued can be effectively reintroduced. The theories are all well and good but implementation is crucial, I suppose it also depends which side of politics you are and the economic situation.”

----------- INTERVIEW WITH SHAUN RYDER -----------
Shaun Ryder was lead singer and lyricist of the Happy Mondays and a pioneer of the Hacienda-centric Madchester scene of the early 90s. The hard-living legend went on to have his life dramatised in film 24-Hour Party People and front rock band Black Grape, and last year he charmed viewers to come runner up in ITV’s I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here. Shaun has just released his autobiography, entitled Twisting My Melon, and takes half an hour upstairs at Bold Street’s Leaf to tell Your Move how he doesn’t regret a thing.
INTERVIEW BY EMMA PINCH
You were a prodigious consumer of drugs and alcohol back in the day. Did that make writing an autobiography tricky? The only problem I did have was with the 90s. I remember the 60s better than the 90s and I was about eight in 1969. But I had books, magazines and newspapers clippings with reports of what I was up to, what the Mondays were up to, what everyone else was up to. My job was to sort fact from fiction. Were you surprised by anything you read about yourself? Er, no! It was all extreme and that’s part of the game really, being extreme. I’m not particularly bothered by it. I never wore a Joe Bloggs T-shirt, in my life. That was the most shocking thing I read. That’s extreme, in my reality. So how extreme did your rock and roll lifestyle get? It was same life as I always had. As any normal kid’s life is. It’s rock and roll before it’s rock and roll. The one thing I do regret is thinking that I knew it all and that I could beat the system and you just can’t. I should have paid my
management £150,000. But all of it was worthwhile. Every single bit of it was, even the cold turkey. Yeah, I’m proud of what we achieved. Did you get up the M62 to Liverpool much? When we were kids if you went to Liverpool you got your nut kicked in. Many a time I’ve been chased round here (Bold Street). I used to have pals, some kids in Huyton, and they used to give us safe passage when we came. I don’t go out here now, I don’t even go out in Manchester. I just don’t do the pub or the club scene any more. What do you do to relax these days? I watch telly. Granada Reports, BBC news in the morning with Bill and Sian, Downton Abbey, Coronation Street and X-Factor. You seem a lot different to the hellraising Shaun Ryder of the 90s. You grow up. Once you’re pushing 50 you’re not doing the same things as you were at 18, 20, 30. When I got into the music business it was a totally different ball game. When I got into it at 18 at the weekend you put on your wig and suit and became rock and roll, then you went back home to your family. It was an image. It wasn’t about giving everything away and knowing the ins and outs of everything. In 2000 it became about reality TV and the need to know everything. I was on I’m a Celebrity at the end of my career, not the beginning.
That’s the last thing people would have wanted anyway, to get the person that I was at 18. What’s the man like behind the image? Creative. You know, a nice fella. A bit cheesy. In I’m A Celebrity you came over as quite shy… I’m not naturally Mr Showbiz. The last thing I ever wanted in life was attention. And I ended up singing in a rock band. Was that the reason for the drugs? A little bit. And the reason why I brought Beswick into the thing as well. To take the attention away from me. I’m always get nervous (before a performance). It’s really not that bad any more. That just comes with age I suppose, you just feel comfortable in your shoes and underpants Do you keep in touch with any of your jungle mates? I still see Lembit (Opik), Dom (Joly) and Jenny (Éclair). I’d like to meet up with Nigel (Havers) too. Any more reality shows in the pipeline? A turn on Strictly maybe? No. You go on Strictly, you dance, they take the p*ss out of you, you can’t answer back. You don’t learn anything about the contestants. What’s the point if you don’t get to show who you are? I’ve got a TV show coming up about something that I’m really big into. It’s not reality. Twisting My Melon by Shaun Ryder (Bantam Press, £18.99) is on sale now.

TALENT IN THE CITY
RYDER FILE DOB Born 23 August, 1964 in Salford.
––– CAREER Formed the Happy Mondays in 1980 and signed to Factory Records. Factory’s chief executive Tony Wilson compared the lyrics of his psychedelic house to Keats. First album was the strangely titled Squirrel and G-Man Twenty Four Hour Party People Plastic Face Carnt Smile (White Out), but it was 1990’s Paul Oakenfold-produced Thrills n Pills n Bellyaches that was the Mondays’ biggest commercial hit, featuring Step On, which included the now legendary lyric (courtesy of singer John Kongas) “You’re twisting my melon man”. His post-Mondays band, Black Grape, won acclaim with 1995 album It’s Great to Be Straight… Yeah, and he has collaborated with the Gorillaz in Dare on their Demon Days album and with Russell Watson for album The Voice. He has just announced a tour, Up Close and Personal, which will take place next year.

QUIRKY GIFTS A friend has just moved into a new home, which is beautiful. I have asked her what she would like as a house-warming gift and she has suggested a doormat. I would like to buy her something that is quirky and fun and that will make her smile every time she leaves and returns to her gorgeous new home. Do you have any ideas that I could steal?
MOROCCAN DINING We would like to add some additional seating to our lounge, something quite bohemian would be perfect. We have looked at giant floor cushions but I think when they are not in use they would look untidy. Do you have any suggestions? I have found the perfect Boho treat, which could happily solve your seating dilemmas. It’s a beautiful reversible pumpkin shaped pouf made from pieces of tribal and velvet fabric with ric rac and ribbon trim. The modern mix of tribal fabrics makes the Star Pouf the perfect seat to add a bit of bohemia to your space. www.plumo.com
Snakeskin Walls I’m looking for a fantastic wallpaper design for my lounge. I love fashion and enjoy living in the city, and I would like the wallpaper to reflect my personality and to be completely on trend. I often have friends over before we go out in the evenings, so a paper that looks fantastic in low lighting and candle light would be perfect. Could you help me find the perfect solution?
I think I have found the perfect gift for your friend, I’m sure it will bring a smile every time she crosses over the threshold to her new home. The Love doormat, available from Bombay Duck, is adorable - not only is the message clear to ‘love the home you’re in’ but will also help keep you friend’s floor sparkling. It’s a great accessory to glam up the entrance to any home. www.bombayduck.co.uk
With seasonal launches following themes from the catwalk, wallpaper is becoming ever more fashionable. The new autumn/winter collections have just been launched, so for an avid follower of fashion there is a multitude of dazzling collections to choose from. Animal prints are back and this time they’re much more elegant and sophisticated thanks to modern updates in colour and scale. I love Osborne & Little’s new Komodo collection, which has snakeskin and panther prints, and faux jewelencrusted lizards. The cobra wallpaper would look fantastic in your lounge, creating a perfect setting for entertaining your friends. The wallpaper is a stylised interpretation of a cobra and includes two holographic foil colourways, which would illuminate in soft lighting. Osborne & Little is available at Elaine Cunningham Interiors. Your Move 53

After only three months since the initial idea the bar is now complete and Twenty Five, situated on The Strand, is in no doubt a stylish place to party. Co-owner Ian Ambrose said: “We felt the city was lacking a meeting point for stylish young professionals. Our bar is in the heart of the business district and will appeal to people who want the classic New York style cocktail and champagne bar night on their doorstep.” Kitted out with lavish interiors, their
cocktail lounge is the perfect place to relax with drinks from the trendy champagne and cocktail menu. The bar opens to the public on October 19 with 50 per cent off all bottles of wine and is also taking Christmas party bookings Email twentyfive25@live.co.uk for more information.
Ride into Autumn Cruise into autumn the healthy way with a free guided bike ride. Merseytravel’s new TravelWise initiative is running scenic bike rides around Merseyside for all abilities, fitness levels and ages from October 30. All you have to do is bring your bike to one of the listed meeting points and then simply enjoy a relaxed pace ride. All rides will be accompanied by a guide
through a scenic route with regular refreshment stops.
