HOT TOPIC You can’t open a newspaper these days without the plight of firsttime buyers staring back at you. Since the global credit crunch hit it seems taking that first step onto the property ladder is getting evermore difficult to achieve. Of course it wasn’t always this way.

Rewind just a few decades and buying a house in your early twenties was the norm. The natural chain of events, it seemed, was get married, buy a home, start a family – usually all before you turn 21. That is obviously no longer the case. quick poll of the major estate agents in Liverpool puts the average age of firsttime buyers between mid-twenties and mid-thirties – considerably older than the previous generation of buyers.

“First-time buyers are now required to put down much larger deposits and so it takes them longer to save up,” says Emily Howarth, residential sales and lettings valuer at Sutton Kersh's city centre office. “They are subsequently forced to rent whilst they save and because rental values are much higher, it is taking them even longer to save up their deposit to buy a property.”

Indeed, the hefty deposits required by most lenders now mean would-be buyers are lining the pockets of landlords for much longer than they’d like to.

“Your first time buyers require an average deposit of in excess of £30,000,” says Martyn Green, director of Jones Lang LaSalle.

“The majority of 19-35 year olds are now going into rented accommodation instead of purchasing a home, this is excellent news for buy-to-let investors.”

According to Joanne Hudson, head of residential at Venmore first-time buyers in Liverpool city centre tend to be young professional singles and couples.

This changes the further outside the city centre you look.

“We see buyers in all categories buying their first property in the suburbs,” says Joanne. “Singles, couples, newlyweds and young families that are looking for more space for their money.”

For Darren Carter, branch manager at Reeds Rains’ Liverpool city centre office the most popular

A

properties for first-time buyers are period terraced houses and modern apartments.

“It very much depends upon the amount that a first time buyer can afford,” he says. “Buyers are cautious, but still push their budget for the absolute best property in their price range.”

Of course pushing your budget as far as possible can only do so much. While you may be able to stretch to get yourself a few more square feet if you can only afford a one-bedroom flat no amount of budget pushing is going to get you a three-bedroom detached with a garden.

Or, at least, that used to be the case.

“With recent government and developer plans to help first-time buyers, lots of prospective buyers have been looking into shared equity or shared ownership schemes that assist them in getting onto the property ladder,” says Joanne.

The FirstBuy scheme effectively allows first-time buyers to take out a 75 per cent LTV mortgage, with a five per cent deposit. It is open to those with a household income of less than £60,000 a year and those who qualify will receive an equity loan of up to 20 per cent of the value of the property, providing they can put down five per cent.

The loan is jointly funded by the government and developers. The equity loan is interest-free for the first five years after which an annual fee of 1.75 per cent will apply. This will rise by the retail prices index (RPI) inflation plus one per cent per year. Upon sale of the house or after 25 years borrowers will repay 20 per cent of the value to the loan providers.

Shared ownership on the other

hand allows first-time buyers to buy a share of the property, usually 25, 50 or 75 per cent. The remaining share is owned by a housing association and the buyer pays rent on this. Over time the buyer can increase their share until they own the property outright.

WHAT THE EXPERTS PAID With the first-time buyer landscape changing we ask a selection of Liverpool estate agents when they bought their first home and for how much.

Darren Carter Reeds Rains I bought my first house about six years ago; it was a twobed end terraced house.

I paid about £135,000, it needed updating so I spent quite a long time modernising it and then moved out!

I moved into my current house about two years ago.

Louis Anastasiou Andrew Louis I bought my first home in 1989. It was a six bedroom, three storey terraced house in Tuebrook and it cost me £28,000.

Martyn Green Jones Lang LaSalle I was the typical fresh-faced newlywed. I was 19, and paid £22,000 for a mid-terraced house, I bought it with a 100 per cent, interest only mortgage. I doubt we will ever see a return to that type of mortgage for first time buyers again.

Emily Howarth Sutton Kersh I bought my first house in 2003 when I was 22. It was a Victorian terraced house, two up two down, located just outside Leeds and I paid £77,000 for it. I only lived there for two and a half years and then sold it for £103,000.

Joanna Hudson Venmore My first home was a semidetached, new-build bungalow, which we bought in 1980 for £16,000.

Alan Bevan City Residential I bought my first property at the age of 27 in 1994 and it was a three-bed semi costing £60,000.

Hot & Happening HOT PROPERTY NEWS IN LIVERPOOL

Venmore packs out first auction of year Over 200 bidders packed out Venmore’s first auction of 2012 at its new venue in Liverpool Town Hall’s council chambers.

The 95 per cent mortgage returns

The 39 lots on offer provided an exciting start to the auction year, with plenty of competitive bidding both in the room and over the phone, generating £1.7 million.

Geoff Guest, auction and commercial director, said: “Our first auction at Liverpool Town Hall generated a lot of interest which led to very competitive bidding throughout the afternoon. The auction environment can prove incredibly fruitful for the right property and the opportunity to sell an attractive property well above guide price can easily arise in a room full of eager bidders. With over 60 per cent of properties sold so far, and more deals underway post-auction, it’s been a great start to 2012 for Venmore.”

The stand out property of the sale was a two bedroom terraced cottage in the sought after location of Woolton Village. The cottage received high levels of pre-auction interest and stirred up a highly charged bidding war.

A new scheme aimed at making it easier for thousands of buyers in Merseyside to purchase a new home has been launched by the government.

Cunningham Grange, St Helens

The NewBuy initiative will help both first time buyers and those looking to move home by enabling house hunters to access 95 per cent mortgages on properties up to the value of £500,000.

The scheme is set to make it

easier for credit-worthy purchasers in Merseyside to secure affordable mortgages with only a five per cent deposit.

The initiative is likely to go down well with buyers, many of whom see the size of deposit as the main barrier to purchasing a property. Taylor Wimpey will be offering NewBuy at a number of its developments in the area including Speakman Gardens, in Prescot, and Cunningham Grange, in St Helens.

Sam Williams, associate sales director, commented: “Time and time again our buyers tell us that it is mortgage availability, not mortgage affordability, which is preventing them from buying.

This scheme will help both those looking to get on the property ladder and those who want to move.

For more information on NewBuy when it is launched in March, register your interest here www.taylorwimpey.co.uk/newbuy

City Residential launches Mount Pleasant scheme City Residential has launched a new apartment scheme on Mount Pleasant.

The development features a total of 40 apartments, with 24 of them in a new building fronting Mount Pleasant and 16 in the former Mount Pleasant school building fronting onto Pleasant Street.

City Residential says the scheme has proved extremely popular with students given its convenient location close to both the University of Liverpool and Liverpool John Moores.

Director Alan Bevan said:

“The development is expected to prove extremely popular for the 2012/2013 term given its superb location and offering a choice of either modern apartments or those in the old school house that offer large spaces and a bit of history.

“We are now taking reservations for the September termand expect it to be fully let by early summer given the severe shortage of apartments in this area of the city centre and with prices starting at just over £600 per month.”

For further information on the scheme contact City Residential on 0151 231 6100.

Green shoots in 2012 National estate agent Bairstow Eve’s new branch on Mount Pleasant has announced 2012 as a very good year for Liverpool city centre sales.

Mike Chrysokhou

Managing director Mike Chrysokhou said: “Here at Bairstow Eves we have began 2012 with a positive start concerning city centre sales, with investor/first time buyer’s confidence showing a desecrated increase on 2012.

Our office is ideally placed to service the growing interest from the parents of incoming students, looking to purchase a city centre apartment as an investment which rather than pay rent while studying. We feel that the market has now recalibrated providing realistically priced living accommodation in a great location, which should provide both capital appreciation in the modern to long term with a good rental yield.”

INTERVIEW WITH CHARLINE VON HEYL

Renowned artist Charline von Heyl is well-known for her vibrant and enigmatic paintings and prints. Now, the Germanborn, New York-based artist brings her first ever UK exhibition to the Tate Liverpool. We caught up with Charline on the eve of the exhibition opening to find out what inspires her and why she thinks Liverpool is the perfect setting for her work.

INTERVIEW BY CHRISTINE TONER What made you want to pursue a career in art? I was five years old when I realised I wanted to be an artist. It was just one of those things that came to me.

Through all the mutations of doubt that you go through that thing is often quite clear. It’s like people saying they want to be an auto-mechanic when they’re five years old and then they grow up to be a really good auto-mechanic.

Were there artists in your family? No.

My parents were part of a print of the month club and they brought me to museums. They were aware of art and they knew how to look. They have been extremely encouraging. Art is so much about being able to see.

Did you have any favourite artists growing up? Who was your inspiration?

I had my favourite paintings in museums but I was an avid reader. I’ve got tons of picture books from my mother and father and I was fawning over the images and illustrations. I think a lot of what’s in my paintings has to do with the way images look in print. It really was this love for the image and the magic of it. I remember the way Sleeping Beauty’s yellow hair moves over the shoulder. It’s just a sheer desire that was triggered by images. And I think that’s where it started, just looking for the satisfaction that came from a line.

When was your first exhibition? It was very late, I was 30. I really took my time to formulate something that I thought was working.

Did you always want to focus on abstract art? No, it’s one of those things people like

to label but I’m not interested in labels.

I didn’t know what I wanted to say, that’s kind of the abstract part of it. I wanted to create something but I didn’t know what.

Maybe that’s abstract.

You’re known for avoiding having a signature style, is that a conscious effort? People always say that but then if you look around, does it look as if each work has a different style? It’s very much about different techniques and materials and they evoke different emotions or different responses. It’s not something I’ve ever thought about. It’s another one of those labels that’s gets so heavily put on me but it’s not the most important thing. A lot of artists now want to find a style so they’re easily recognisable and branded. It’s just something I was never concerned with.

What inspires you? Tons of books and tons of images, just like when I was a kid.

Which piece are you most proud of?

Right now I’m in love with the show. The windows (at the Tate) show the outside and I think it’s important that the paintings are not working as windows. They’re actually coming out at you. It makes the whole space really exciting.

Is that why you chose the Tate? I was offered it and I was absolutely honoured.

Just walking around in Liverpool, it’s a great place.

What do you like about Liverpool? I love the way town’s generous and I love the communication – the way the people are with each other here, there’s something very open and sincere.

The Charline von Heyl exhibition runs until 27 May at Tate Liverpool.

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.

BRINGING THE BRIGHT OUTSIDE INDOORS Can you please help me find wallpaper for a wall in my conservatory? I would like the paper to have a modern pattern and to be colourful and playful. I love the colour green and think the conservatory would be the perfect room to use it in.

Striking stripes I am trying to find a small blue and white-striped sofa for my kitchen. Ideally I would like the sofa to be contemporary in design and look good with my Quaker style units. Have you seen anything that you think would suit?

Designers Guild has the perfect sofa for you. The Harper sofa is a new addition to its furniture collection and it’s beautiful. I think it would look fantastic set against a backdrop of a Quaker style kitchen. The twoseater sofa is a contemporary interpretation of a wing chair with a high back and is upholstered in the Designers Guild blue and white brera mattone fabric. www.designersguild.com

BEDTIME TELEVISION We live in a warehouse apartment that has lots of character and charm but can make modern day living a little difficult. We have always wanted a TV in the master bedroom but the shape of the room and the wall space available make it impossible.

Do you have any design suggestions, which could help us with our dilemma?

I have found this wallpaper in the new Sanderson collection ‘Colour for Living’. The design is called Aspen. The wallpaper is a modern depiction of a woodland landscape drawn in a loose sketchy hand, which gives it a playful feel. It is available in teal/aqua, which would give a lovely hint of green to your conservatory.

The Nova TV bed in ivory from Television Bed could help solve this design dilemma.

The bed is available to fit several different size mattresses and features the latest 26” LG HD television.

The TV sits on a quiet motorised lift, which is operated from the side of the frame. The fantastic feature of the high buttoned headboard makes it perfect to be used anywhere in the room and the bed also comes with a shelf underneath which is perfect to store, DVD player or other home entertainment systems.

DINA KARIM HAS LUNCH WITH....

Siobhan Noble, co-owner of The Lantern Theatre

L

iverpool is set to become a destination for fringe theatre, with the family behind The Lantern Theatre leading the way.

Although established two years ago by Tiny Giants production company, Siobhan and Mike Noble and mother Margaret Connell took over the venue in October last year with big plans for not only the Blundell Street theatre but the whole Liverpool scene. We meet at the shabby chic Elevator Bar, situated inside Elevator Studios on Parliament Street, a 200-year old, Grade II listed warehouse in the flourishing Baltic Triangle - coincidently just around the corner from the venue. Like The Lantern Theatre, it is representative of this lovely creative community, on the edge of the city centre reconditioning old warehouses into interesting spaces.

“Liverpool is spreading outwards, it used to feel like Liverpool city centre was Bold Street, but now it’s getting bigger with lots of little neighbourhoods,” commented Siobhan over a spot of lunch. “I love the area, it is quite arty and really nice and it’s going to just grow and grow.”

The area is quickly becoming a hotbed for entrepreneurs, with the family-run venue one of the latest businesses to thrive in the called The Lock Tavern and we recession thanks to some dapper love it, so when we were handiwork from Margaret, who decorating the bar area we has worked in the business for wanted it to be similar with over 20 years, the creative mismatched furniture thinking of Siobhan and Mike’s apparently, the girl who connection with fringe decorated here is the theatre in London. With same girl who a full programme until decorated The “We want to be a June, it offers Lock Tavern,” theatre, comedy, folk cutting edge she said. and blues music theatre, bringing Talking gigs and even productions to an about the vintage fairs. audience that might upcoming Both feeling a shows, I ask not have seen it.” hankering for what new show Halloumi, Siobhan they are most settles for a Halloumi and excited about? The Courgette Salad with Sweet answer is their new monthly Chilli, whilst I chomp into the comedy night, beginning with A Grilled Halloumi Cheese and Rush of Laughter on March 4, Tomato sandwich - an ideal where a line-up of Pete lunch for an unseasonably warm Phillipson, Cathy Butterworth, day. “There’s a place in London and headlining Alex Boardman that’s very similar to this bar

are doing their best to get all 85seats roaring with glee. “We’ve got loads going on; we have up and coming Liverpool writers, in March we have Of Mice and Men for the kids,” she said. “We run a youth theatre programme, where kids from the local community can come together once a week and put together a performance at the end of 12 weeks. We’re making as many links as we can, especially in the Baltic Triangle, we hosted some of The Threshold Festival and of course we have my own vintage fair on the last Sunday of every month.”

Another feather to their cap, the popular fair run by Siobhan and her label Tatties Vintage, features stalls, vintage clothes, reworked accessories and jewellery, shabby chic furniture

and for that added quirk, vintage cinema.

The focal point of The Lantern Theatre is their exciting programme of sell-out performances - “We want to be a cutting edge theatre, bringing productions to an audience that might not have seen it.”

However, it is their ability to be diverse in their offering, and their location in one of Liverpool’s most fashionable spots that makes this little venue both attractive and definitely one to check out for exciting new shows - and don’t forget to pop into Elevator Bar for pre-theatre drinks.

For more information on The Lantern Theatre telephone 0151 703 0000.

GO LIVERPOOL

My favourite with...

JOANNA TROLLOPE Gloucestershire-born author Joanna Trollope is one of the UK’s best-loved authors and recently came to Liverpool while on a promotional tour for her latest novel The Soldier’s Wife. The writer, best known for her prolific novel, A Village Affair told Go Liverpool what she loves most about the city and where she always makes an effort to visit when she’s here.

Thing about Liverpool

Definitely the people, there’s a warmth and friendliness about them you can’t help but like.

Musician

PJ Harvey is my current crush , especially her new album ‘Let England Shake’.

Restaurant

60 Hope Street. I always try and go there whenever I’m in Liverpool for long enough.

Book

The Towers of Trebizond by Rose Macaulay. It was the last novel she published and tells the story of group of people making the journey from Istanbul to Trezibond. It’s very funny.

Holiday destination

Sri Lanka is just beautiful. I have just returned from speaking at the Jaipur Literature Festival.

Film

Les enfants du paradis. This French film directed by Marcel Carne is about a beautiful courtesan and four men who fall in love with her – a mime, an actor, a criminal and an aristocrat.

Food

Fish - especially smoked salmon. I could eat it every day.

Item of clothing

Boots and shoes, they’re my guilty pleasure when it comes to shopping.

THE SOLDIER’S WIFE Joanna's new bestseller The Soldier’s Wife is out now.
