With spring commonly thought of as the house-buying season we were lucky enough to take a peek inside a dream property in Liverpool, on the market at a cool £1.75 million. And when we weren’t daydreaming about living a life of luxury, we caught up with one of the hottest bands around at the moment, The Maccabees, to find out about their new album, their latest tour and their recording secrets.

And don’t forget, for all the latest news, you can sign up to our free digital fortnightly magazine by emailing post@movepublishing.co.uk.

Everyone likes to see how the other half live. The rise of so-called “property porn” programmes that allow us to live vicariously through house hunters with seemingly limitless budgets is proof of this. So to satisfy your appetite for posh pads we’ve found one of the finest properties in Liverpool and its owners were willing to open their doors and let us have a peek inside.

Ornate features

rucklay Manor on North Mossley Hill Road is a stunning six-bedroom (all en-suite) modern detached with a twist. Despite being built from scratch just ten years ago by its property developer owners, many of its features – such as its beautifully ornate fireplaces - are Victorian.

A sweeping staircase is the standout feature in the entrance hall leading up to the six fabulous bedrooms, one with a mezzanine floor, which could quite easily be used as a self-contained flat.

Double-height ceilings throughout the property help to promote the spacious feel while the beautiful orangery at the rear of the property, with its full-height wall of glass means the house is flooded with light.

A giant kitchen, dining room, two reception rooms and large front and back gardens plus a children’s play area complete this stunning family home.

And you can get it all for a cool £1.75 million. For more information contact Sutton Kersh on 0151 734 0666 or email allerton@suttonkersh.co.uk

IKEA signs up to First Time Buyers Show Would-be buyers attending the First Time Buyers Show will get access to first-rate design advice courtesy of IKEA as the Swedish retailer has become the latest company to take out a stand at the event.

The show, which already features a host of big names including Riverside Home Ownership, Right Move and Bovis Homes will take place on April 21 at the Halliwell Jones Stadium in Warrington.

Sarah Walmsley, local marketing manager at IKEA Warrington, said: “We’re keen to be involved with the First Time Buyers Show as we know that whilst buying your first home can be exciting, it can also can be hard work and expensive.

“At IKEA we can help. We offer a wide range of products at unbeatable low prices for every

room in the home. You can do all the work yourself or with a little help from us at IKEA with our picking and delivery service. For those who find DIY a little ambitious you can use our assembly and installation services.”

HomesHub, the governmentappointed affordable homes agent in the North West, is hosting the event.

Alison Gittins, sales and marketing coordinator, at Homeshub, said: “This will be the biggest property show dedicated to first time buyers in the North. The show will give genuine advice to those looking to buy a home and not sure where to start. For anyone who thinks owning their own home is out of their reach, come and hear about our affordable home options which might suit you.”

With easy access from the M62 and good local transport links, the event will open from 10am –

4pm. Other names confirmed include Lovell, Persimmon, Plus Dane, Faraday Mortgages and Paul Crowley Solicitors.

BUYERS RUSH TO COMPLETE BEFORE STAMP DUTY HOLIDAY ENDS First-time buyers are facing a rush to complete house purchases before the stamp duty break ends on the 24 March.

Elaine Taylor

The stamp duty holiday had meant first-time buyers buying a property between £125,000 and £250,000 were exempt from the 1% tax.

Elaine Taylor, regional sales manager for Lovell in the North West says, “We have seen a flurry of purchasers in recent weeks and this is in part due to the fact the stamp duty holiday for first time buyers is coming to an end.

“Certainly in the North West

the stamp duty holiday has helped many first time buyers because it’s one less cost for them to pay.”

Chancellor George Osborne's Autumn Statement claimed that the tax relief failed to get more people on the property ladder.

The government said it is instead prioritising more effective measures which provide better value for money.

One of these new measures is the recently announced NewBuy mortgage guarantee scheme, which will enable homebuyers to secure a 95 per cent mortgage.

“It’s vital that lenders are onboard with these schemes and

we would welcome any further government action to encourage lenders to relax their criteria so more people can get a mortgage and step onto the property ladder,” says Elaine.

David Robinson, assistant manager at Riverside Home Ownership says some schemes to help first-time buyers are not being promoted widely enough.

He says: “As well as ongoing financial help, there are lots of schemes available. Sometimes buyers just aren’t aware that there is help available.”

Buyers can avoid stamp duty if they purchase a property for less than £125,000.

Next PIN event selling out fast The March meeting of the Property Investor’s Network (PIN) is booking up fast and expected to be sold out following the announcement of one of the speakers for the evening.

Property entrepreneur Paul Preston will be sharing strategies on how to generate more than £1000 per month per property through Houses of Multiple Occupation (HMOs).

HMOs are properties that are rented by individual room rather than a single let and are usually the accommodation of students or working professional.

The PIN evenings are designed for those in the property sector to meet others in the field, build up their personal contacts and keep up to date with market changes and investment strategies. The event will take place Thursday 22 March at Village Hotel Liverpool, Fallows Way, Whiston, Merseyside.

Countryside reports sales success Countryside Properties has reported unprecedented sales success having sold 11 homes in 12 weeks at its Norris Green Village development.

total, 15 sold on the open market and the remaining 45 were available through social housing provider, Cobalt Housing. The second phase launched in November 2011 and includes 55 homes, 26 of which are open market and 29 that are social housing through Cobalt.

The third phase is to be launched later this year.

Peter Vella, regional sales and

marketing director at Countryside Properties, said: “As hoped, the second phase of Norris Green Village has captured the interest of home buyers in Liverpool, continuing the success we experienced when we launched the development back in March 2011.

“Our show village has been a big hit, as it gives buyers a chance to touch and feel the homes, allowing them to see the high quality properties available with the ever-important affordable price tag.”

Buyers looking to buy a home at Norris Green Village can do so through the government funded FirstBuy initiative, an equity loan scheme that provides buyers with an affordable route into the property market.

Buyers can purchase 100 per cent of their new property, with the assistance of a loan of up to 20 per cent of the full purchase price. The loan is jointly funded by the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) and Countryside Properties and remains interest free for five years.

Pugh and Co auctioneers power into 2012 Auctioneer Pugh & Co has announced £16.5m in sales from a record number of lots at its first auctions of the year in Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds and Newcastle.

Instructions are now being taken for the next catalogue, which closes on Wednesday 21 March.

At the launch of its Liverpool auction at Aintree in February, Pugh & Co's residential arm, otherwise known as The Auction People, saw residential properties in the region more than double their bottom guide price.

131 Parr Stocks Road, Merseyside – a two-bedroom mid-terraced house in need of renovation, which had a guide price of £15,000, sold for £32,000, proving that residential properties continue to perform well at auction.

Kate Lay, head of residential at The Auction People, said: “We’ve seen a great deal of interest and competitive bidding in the auction rooms. Our database of over 70,000 national

investors and developers is very buoyant and many are already showing a real interest in Merseyside as an area for investment potential.

“This is driving the majority of our residential sales in the region and presents a real opportunity for people and businesses who need to sell property fast.”

Kate is currently compiling the catalogue for the next wave of auctions in April.

“Early signs indicate a good

level of quality stock will be offered, including a residential investment opportunity comprising a three-storey block of six one bedroom flats on Mill Lane, Liverpool 8 with a guide price of just £95,000, which is being sold on behalf of LSL Corporate Recovery. The closing date is 21 March so there is still time for individuals and businesses to put their properties forward and arrange a free, no obligation valuation.”

on a series of advanced training courses.

Director David Watson recently travelled to St Louis to undertake a training course with the National Wood Flooring Association (NWFA), He said: “If you look at wood floors in the UK, they’re David Watson (second right) at the Dave Marzalek either extreme inlay school, Rocky Mountain Wilderness straight plank floors

or parquet, which we’ve fitted for years, but some of the floors our NWFA members fit in America are incredible works of art, we want to take our floors here to the next level.”

David, who also recently attended a training school in New Mexico with 21 times NWFA floor of year winner Dave Marzalek, will return to the states in May and October for further training.

Hydrodry was founded as a carpet cleaning company but soon extended its offering to include carpet fitting and flooring. It specialises in wood floor sanding and installation across the Northwest.

Bankfield Business Centre is a converted former public house situated within the Regent Road regeneration area near to Bankhall and Sandhills train stations. The units range in size from 250 sq ft to 430 sq ft with rents starting from as little as £260.00pcm with utilities included.

Ian Murray, director at C&D Properties, said: “Bankfield Business Centre offers a unique workspace opportunity for any small business, and with flexible lease terms, very attractive rents and ample on-street parking then it really does have everything you could need.

The entire top floor of the building is already completely occupied so we would strongly recommend any interested parties to contact us without delay”.

Gleeson launches ‘fantastic five’ schemes for buyers Would-be buyers in Liverpool have more options than ever when getting onto housing ladder following the launch of Gleeson Homes ‘Fantastic Five’ range.

Cawdor Park

Landlords – Show your CLASS Private landlords in Liverpool are being encouraged to sign up for a scheme which aims to improve the image, management and standards of private rented housing.

The Citywide Landlord Accreditation Safety Scheme (CLASS) is a voluntary accreditation scheme that recognises private landlords who offer quality rented properties and treat tenants fairly.

The scheme aims to help landlords operate successful businesses, provide tenants with decent and safe living conditions and reduce the need for intervention from local authorities.

CLASS is free to join and landlords wanting to become members can apply for accreditation via a selfcertification process.

To become a member of CLASS please contact the Landlord Accreditation Team on 0151 233 8266 or email class@liverpool.gov.uk. For more information visit www.liverpool.gov.uk/class

The range of schemes are aimed at first-time buyers and include Aspire, through which Gleeson will contribute five per cent towards a buyer’s deposit, give them £500 towards legal fees and pay their valuation fee.

For first time buyers needing some extra time to save a deposit Gleeson offers the Save and Build scheme. A buyer can reserve a home at a fixed price and save their five per cent deposit over a 12-month period while their new home is built, with Gleeson contributing another five

per cent towards the deposit on completion of the home.

Fantastic Five also offers two schemes for parents who want to help their children purchase a new home. Leaving Home allows buyers to pay just five per cent deposit, with their parents acting as guarantor for the mortgage.

Meanwhile the Parents Invest scheme sees parents provide up to 20 per cent of the price of their child’s home with Gleeson paying them five per cent interest per annum for five years on their investment.

The fifth scheme is FirstBuy by which buyers receive 20 per cent of

the value of the property as an equity loan to put towards a deposit. This means that by putting down just five per cent of their own money they can take out a 75 per cent LTV mortgage.

Linda Matura, sales manager for Gleeson Homes, says: “The beauty of the Fantastic Five range of schemes is that they can be tailored to suit a buyer’s individual circumstances.”

Gleeson’s Sales Offices at Montreal Gardens and Cawdor Park are open Thursday to Monday from 10am to 5pm.

Lets Support - over a decade of specialist know how

Making the most of valuable tax incentives Julia Casimo

I have just purchased at auction a small parade of shops and was considering converting the currently empty space above the shops into 4 residential flats to let out. Is this a good idea from a tax point of view?

There is a scheme called the ‘Flat Conversion Allowance’ which gives investors income tax relief on the cost of converting vacant property above shops and offices into residential flats. This scheme will however be withdrawn in April 2013 so you will need to act quickly.

Exciting offers for new clients throughout March 12 month price freeze for existing clients Outsource to the experts. Free up your time to concentrate on new business and lettings.

Protect yourself, protect your Landlords and protect your Tenants. It's not as expensive as you think and we are brilliant!

The cost of the conversion will be about £60,000 can I get any tax relief for this?

If the conditions are met, yes. Assuming you are a 40% tax payer, you can reduce your income tax bill by up to £24,000 in the year in which you incur the expense.

Anything else I need to think about?

Yes – you may also be eligible for a similar kind of relief on your costs for renovating the downstairs shops. The availability of Business Premises Renovation Allowance was extended last year to 2017 and may apply to renovation expenditure on the shops. There are, as always, some conditions, the main one of which is that the premises must have been unused for a year to qualify.

• The properties must be on a traditional shopping street, and have been built before 1980 • They must not have more than 4 stories above the ground floor • The upper floors must have been intended for residential use when first built, even if that use has ceased, and they must have been unoccupied for at least one year when you start the work • You can claim the costs of building work, new kitchens and bathrooms and other capital expenditure involved in the conversion

t’s been a mad year for The Maccabees, with their third album Given To The Wild the culmination of two years of writing and recording. The result is a sprawling masterpiece of distorted pop, psychedelia and soulful guitar - and rave reviews. We talk to guitarist Hugo White on the band’s latest album.

Words by

DINA KARIM

You’ve just finished touring, how was it? I’m just in London today. I came back yesterday from the UK tour, so we’ve had a very busy and hectic time and now we’ve got a couple of days off which is nice.

From the start of this year since the record came out it’s been nonstop - but that’s the way we want it.

Is it a departure from your earlier albums? We usually write as a collaboration. In the past we’ve always written together in a room and this time we decided the way we were going to do this one was to allow everyone to have a bit more space to write on their own. We did that for four months, individually until people started having ideas and recording stuff and sending emails of what we’d done.

When someone liked something we worked on it and it gradually built like that until we decided we needed to all be there, all the time and work on it. That’s how it evolved.

I think it’s a more patient album than the previous album Wall of Arms, and for me it

“Festivals are going to be a big thing for us this year.”

So not that many direct things influenced us, we listened to a lot of different stuff and in quite a nice way there aren’t that many influences on this record.

How did The Maccabees get together?

We knew each other from living in the same area in London. Orlando was Felix’s friend’s older brother, he was writing songs so we started the band like that and I was in school with Rupert. Felix joined later on but it very naturally fell together.

What are you excited about this year?

Festivals are going to be a big thing for us this year. We’ve just been confirmed for Benicassim, and others which aren’t announced yet but a lot of exciting things.

We’re doing a show at Alexandra Palace in London which is the biggest show we will have done with 10,000 people, that’s a scary prospect.

Given To The Wild is out now.

What’s the reaction been like to your new album, Given To The Wild? I think it’s great. It is a record that we’re more proud of than anything else we’ve done.

We really pushed ourselves. We didn’t make it easy for ourselves to make this record and we’re really happy with it.

Hearing people say they like the record is a great thing for us; to have a good reaction to it, it feels like a step on in terms of the band, that is a big bonus.

Third album, Given to the Wild

feels like a big leap forward. The album required a lot of attention, musically, in order to create these soundscapes, so that was quite a different way of approaching it.

Does that mean you were banned from seeing each other? Off limits a little bit.

But more like you didn’t feel like you had to include everyone and it was quite nice, because if you’re always together you go through arguments. So, it was nice to have a bit of time where you didn’t have to argue your case to begin with, you could do exactly what you wanted and then present it and then argue your case.

What’s your favourite song on the album? The last song on the record, Grew up at Midnight. I wrote the lyrics and that was quite nice to have in but generally, it has almost become quite a blur of who did what.

What are your influences? It’s difficult to say any one band or individual, for example David Bowie was more influential in terms of listening to records that exist in their own place and figuring out how to translate your own way of doing those things to make the record live in its own space.

DOB 2004, South London ––––––

EDUCATION University College London ––––––

WHAT’S IN A NAME? They chose the name by flicking through the Bible. They came across the story of The Maccabees, Jewish rebels who fought against Greek rule and established Jewish independence in the second century BC. As soon as they saw the name, they knew that was it although they’ve insisted that they’re not religious.

“Some of them find it a very emotional journey, and many find that they value themselves much more after joining us for what is much more than having your picture taken - even women who tell us that they hate having their picture taken.”

To book your CityShoot call Zoe or Kathryn on 0151 708 5838.

On Friday 23 March, the Official After Party for Miss Liverpool 2012 will be held at the recently opened Ludus Lounge Bar on Bold Street.

The venue at 108 Bold Street is a laid back coffee lounge and eatery by day then by night “Liverpool’s best kept secret.” Basement bar opens up to take you back to the 1920’s in a real speakeasy style.

Pat Hughes, the organiser of Miss

Liverpool said: “We always have a great after party every year and we always aim to keep it fresh using the best venues. After attending the opening in December I knew this was the place to book this year.”

Judges on the night include Danielle Lloyd (a previous winner) Amanda Harrington and Radio City’s breakfast show presenter Rossie to name a few.

TABLE TALK

KATE HANRATTY HAS LUNCH WITH....

Kevin Scott, managing director of Loc8 estate agents

T

he Pioneer stands out amongst the other eateries on Liverpool road, with the bar and brasserie’s wide windows and dark awnings giving it an unmistakably upmarket feel.

Brasserie is the French word for a relaxed and upscale restaurant and in this case the word certainly fits. Inside the Pioneer the interiors are bright and airy and decorated in sumptuous cream and gold.

Gorgeous gold lighting features highlight the restaurant area making it the perfect place to enjoy a spot of lunch and conversation.

Meeting with Kevin Scott, managing director of Loc8 estate agents for lunch we were won over by the varied menu and chic surroundings.

Kevin opted for a light chicken caesar salad and the Thai green fishcakes while I chose the chicken carbonara from the lunch menu.

As is common nowadays the topic of conversation turns to the recession.

“The recession is over now, it’s gone,” says Kevin.

“Yes the housing market has changed. Obviously things have happened to the market, for example access to funding is different now, people can’t access the money to get a mortgage like they used to.

“But people will always move, people will always need somewhere to live and they will always need guidance and help throughout that process.”

Kevin says the lettings market is very positive at the moment. “In the UK we are moving towards a more European housing model where people rent rather than buy,” he adds.

Kevin set up Loc8 estate and letting agents in 2006 after ten years of working in the industry for big names such as Black Horse and Countrywide.

“I stopped and thought these guys are making good money. Why don’t I do this myself?” he says.

From here Loc8 was born with

THE PIONEER 107 LIVERPOOL ROAD, CROSBY, LIVERPOOL. L23 5TD

Cuisine: Italian and English grub.

Tapas and an a la carte menu.

Book: Booking is recommended.

Parking: Residential area, easy to find a spot.

Good for: Home-made sauces and marinades. The freshest ingredients locally sourced.

Price: From 3.95 for lunch dishes.

Call 0151 924 1665.

its main offices based in Maghull.

Having worked all over the country Kevin knew that he wanted to come back to Liverpool to set up.

“Liverpool is where my heart is,” he says.

For Kevin, where Loc8 differs from other estate agents is in its approach to customer service.

“Good agents who have come through the recession are those who focus on good customer service,” he says.

Loc8’s team of 15 is trained across the board in selling, valuing and viewing so there is never the situation where a customer speaks to a team-

“The recession is over now, it’s gone”

member who doesn’t have experience in the field they are talking about.

With the Global Entrepreneurship Congress arriving in Liverpool this month I asked Kevin, from his own experience, what advice could he offer to young entrepreneurs in the city.

“There has been a lot of negativity in the press,” he says.

“Ignore everything you see on the TV and in the newspapers, just go for it. Businesses that fail do so because there’s no plan, no real vision and their heart is not in it.

You must have a plan in place and you must work towards it.”

The caesar salad with bacon, anchovies and croutons is, in Kevin’s words, “lovely, really light but still tasty.”

The Thai green fish cakes looked fantastic, a vibrant shade

of orange on a bed of greens with a chilli jam sauce.

My choice of the chicken carbonara was a good one, rich and creamy with plenty of chicken, wild mushrooms and pancetta to contend with. The portion size was also very generous.

So what is next for Loc8?

Kevin tells me the company is looking at opening a base on Allerton Road and in the future would like to think about a regional centre, perhaps in Manchester or Preston.

And of course he will be popping into the Pioneer again in the meantime thanks to the varied menu, good food and great service.
