THE KEY TO BUYING YOUR FIRST HOME SPONSORED BY

IN ASSOCIATION WITH IKEA

Owning a home has always been the British dream. While our neighbours in Europe may be nations of renters, here in the UK most of us strive to get onto that first rung of the property ladder and then keep on climbing. In recent years that has proven to be particularly difficult as the hangover from the recession continues to linger on. But don't give up hope - the third annual First Time Buyers Show is back to offer you all the advice and assistance you need to become a homeowner.

Steve Jackson, sales and marketing director, David Wilson Homes “We are really pleased to be taking part in this event.

We are bringing the whole team including experienced sales staff, expert mortgage advisers and legal experts to give first time buyers total peace of mind when it comes to buying a home for the first time.”

SEMINARS:

Graham Binns, regional sales manager North West, Leeds Building Society: “We are committed to supporting first time buyers onto the housing ladder. We increased new mortgage lending by 25% in 2011, to £1.23 billion, which is one and half times our natural market share. We intend to increase lending further in 2012, and this will include more availability of 95% loans, which we see as an important contribution to supporting home ownership, the housing market and the wider economy. We see attendance at this First Time Buyers event as another step towards achieving our objectives for 2012 and the long term.”

We have a number of developments in the surrounding areas that we are looking forward to showcasing on the day.” Alan Campbell, director, Inglenook Financial Services “In the present market, it is important that first time buyers receive independent whole of market advice.

Hot off the press LIVERPOOL’S LATEST NEWS

Race for mayor hots up The race to become Liverpool’s first elected mayor has begun, with twelve candidates throwing their hats into the ring. Nominations have now closed and the candidates have until May 3 to convince voters of their credentials. Among the candidates are leader of the city council, Joe Anderson, Liberal Democrat Richard Kemp and Conservative representative Tony Caldeira. Adam Heatherington will stand for UKIP, John Coyne for the Green party and Steve Radford for the Liberal Party. The Trade Union and Socialist Party will be

represented by Tony Mulhearn while Mike Whitby will stand for the British National Party and Peter Tierney will represent the National Front. Independents Liam Fogarty and Jeff Berman complete the 12. Earlier this year council members voted 63 to three in favour of skipping a referendum and head straight into a mayoral system. The change in governance means Liverpool will be offered a “city deal” by the government in the form of an investment fund of new and existing public and private money, initially worth £130m.

LPS VOTED ‘QUICKEST IN LIVERPOOL’ BY RIGHTMOVE Liverpool Property Solutions (LPS) has been voted the estate agent with the quickest response time in Liverpool by Rightmove.

Sid Vance

42 Your Move

The title was awarded at Rightmove’s recent event for estate agents at Aintree Racecourse, after the online property portal collected results from mystery shoppers. It was revealed that LPS responded to enquiries within two minutes, with the next closest agent at 25 minutes. LPS’s attendees on the day were Ciaran Lewis, manager of the South Liverpool branch and Sid Vance from the city centre branch.

Ciaran said: “This is a reflection of our motto to strike whilst the iron is hot. The sooner we respond to enquiries the keener tenants are to do viewings and therefore rent properties. Our landlords generally state that LPS’s speed in getting good tenants is what most impresses them.” Sid added: “With LPS aiming to be the top letting agency in Liverpool this is vital to our continued upward spiral. Offering this speed, LPS is going for the top” To let or sell with LPS please contact Sid Vance on 0151 236 7771.

David says Abode’s obsession with customer service and its experience within the property market are the main reasons for its success. The directors are fully qualified financial advisers, who buy, sell, and renovate themselves so they know exactly what makes a good agent. “Being financial advisers puts us in a strong position to help people to buy because we know the mortgage market inside out,” adds David.

Abode is also offering customers a free will when they arrange a mortgage or a protection policy.

visitors to look around, the Camberley and Granley, and a Bramley view home. All threebedroom homes, they are perfect for families or professionals looking to escape the city and be part of a new community.” The developer is also offering a range of schemes to help buyers. With the government backed FirstBuy scheme, customers will own 100% of their home but can receive an equity loan for 20% of the purchase price, jointly funded by the Government and Compendium Living. This means purchasers may

only need up to a 5% deposit to apply for 75% mortgage. Two and three-bedroom homes are currently available, priced from as little as £83,996 with FirstBuy (full price £104,995) to £149,995. For those with a house to sell the Helping Hands scheme could assist. Compendium will take care of valuations and marketing for your existing property and there are no estate agents fees to pay. Compendium also has ways it can help buyers who are still saving for a deposit. The Bank and Build scheme enables them to reserve a home and save while it’s being built. Alternatively, if the purchaser has received help towards their deposit from their parents, the Give and Gain scheme will reward them with a 5% return on that investment. The marketing suite, off Wood Lane, is open five days a week, from Thursday to Monday, from 10am to 5pm. For more information call 07794 212 580 or email info@compendiumliving.co.uk.

The event is completely free to attend and will offer professional advice to first time buyers looking for help finding an affordable home. Paul Crowley & Co’s expert legal team will be offering free legal clinics at their stand (Number 15) throughout the day, and are encouraging people to come along with any legal questions that they might have. The free legal clinics will be covering all aspects of conveyancing and house moving, as well as litigation, family law, motoring law, wills and much more.

Interview with Jamie Oliver from Lostprophets

FROM LA TO LIVERPOOL Jamie Oliver from Lostprophets is genuinely excited; you can hear it in his voice. To date the Welsh nu-metal rockers have sold around 3.5 million records worldwide and they have just released their fifth studio album ‘Weapons’ and will play Liverpool’s 02 Academy on 19 April as part of their UK tour. We caught up with him to talk about life in LA, skateboarding in the Welsh Valley and the Scouse accent.

INTERVIEW BY KATE HANRATTY You’ve just got back from Australia and are about to start another European tour, where are you based? I’ve been based in LA for six years. Growing up in Wales I was always watching skateboarding at Venice Beach on the TV and then going out into the valley putting my coat on and trying to do skateboarding tricks. I always wanted the Californian lifestyle, even then. When I got a chance to move to LA it was a no-brainer. How does it feel to be on the cusp of another big European tour? I couldn’t be more enthusiastic. I’m really looking forward to it. There is something to be said for this new chapter we are about to embark on. Betrayed, our last album was the end of a chapter. We’ve actually outran all of our contracts with recording and managements companies so we have got a new team across the board. What can you tell us about Weapons? Ian (Watkins, lead singer) said it feels like our debut album The Fake Sound of

54 Your Move

Progress again. We’ve exorcised our demons. It’s new and fresh. After 12 years of doing this, it should be easy to create an album but we are six creative Welsh guys. There’s an awful lot of passion involved and sometimes that passion is explosive. This record is like the electrically charged nucleus of an atom and the six of us are pulling and pushing on it each way to make it the best it can be. We’re really proud of it. We could have made it the same old, same old but we like to challenge ourselves. With our last album The Betrayed we scrapped a whole record’s worth of material. We didn’t want to put it out if we didn’t believe in it. We have put everything, our whole part on this recording. More than ever we have trusted our gut instincts and stopped looking at what is in and what is out. What can you tell us about your new single Bring Em’ down? It’s different isn’t it? The first song from all of our albums is always a call to arms. When we were younger we used to listen to Public Enemy and Onyx who do Hip-Hop fighting talk songs. We did a little bit of that with this one. It’s also coming from the underdog mentality, being Welsh it’s about feeling like the underdog.

How does it feel to be putting out a fifth album? It’s incredible. Something has happened to us. I for one am very focused right now, I think it comes with age and wisdom or maybe having a child. It’s like I’ve got a second wind. I’m fired up. I will be enjoying every moment of this tour and cherishing it. They say footballers peak at 20 whereas with UFC fighters they’re in their late 30’s and early 40’s fighting in the ring. I think you get to a certain age and you feel like you give up caring a little bit so you give it your all. What are you listening to at the minute? I’m listening to the new Young Guns album. It is right up my street and they are supporting us on tour. Where are you looking forward to playing the most? The UK without a doubt, all of the UK is our home. We have the best fans in the world. I see the same faces that have supported us since the beginning. It’s unbelievable. I’m so excited to still be doing this. It’s a pure love for what we do for us and I thank the fans for putting me here. I have to say I love the Scouse accent too. Our tour manager is Keith O’Neil who plays drums for Cast. We love his accent.

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.

FANCY FABRIC I am looking for some fabrics that I could use to cover a large sofa with six feather-filled back cushions. We have recently bought a new sofa for the lounge but we love our old sofa and we think with the right fabric it would look fantastic in the conservatory. Ideally we’d like a patterned fabric, in red, and if possible a matching coordinating fabric for the cushions. Could you please point us in the right direction?

Wireless wish I have two lamps either side of my sofa but I don’t like the wiring showing. I have tried to hide it as much as possible but all my attempts fail as my sofa is in the centre of the room and I have a wooden floor, so nothing will allow me to attempt to cover up the mess. Are there any lights available that don’t require any form of wiring? Yes, wireless lamps are available. I like the ‘Live. Anywhere’ collection by Inspired By Design. This innovative lighting collection designed by Linda Allen, includes decorative table and floor lamps that are completely portable. They can even be used outside. The lights use a custom eight-watt LED bulb that emits a similar light to a 50-watt incandescent bulb. This will allow enough light for reading. It’s a delightful collection that would definitely solve your wiring dilemma.

PERFECT PAPERS I think the new collection Compass by Andrew Martin could be ideal. With its vintage images, ethnic patterns and rich textures, the collection is farranging and inspiring. The Navaho fabric - available in red - has a wonderful ethnic zig-zag and diamond pattern and would look dramatic on a large sofa in a conservatory. Coordinate this fabric with the red and beige stripe of the Mohave fabric from the same collection for your back cushions and your old sofa will be transformed into a luxury piece of furniture reflecting faraway places and travel. Available from Elaine Cunningham Interiors

When I bought my new property a couple of years ago, one of the things that attracted me to it was the fantastic master bathroom. With its luxury fittings and tiling, it has been my perfect spa retreat. But the tiling is only on two walls and the remaining walls are painted. I have always wanted to wall paper these walls and now would be the perfect time as the paintwork is looking tired. I am looking for a wallpaper that will add an extra element of glamour. My bathroom suite is white with brushed steel taps and handles. Could you help me find the perfect wallpaper please? Firstly, I would always recommend that you use vinyl wallpaper in a bathroom. Vinyl wallpaper is easy to clean and is more moisture-resistant than plain paper, making it perfect for such spaces. I have sourced great wallpaper for you that I think would look fantastic in your bathroom and will definitely add a touch of glamour and interest. In its new spring/summer collection Osbourne & Little has a delightful range of robust, heavy-duty vinyl wall coverings called Metropolis Vinyls 2. The paper I have chosen for you is the Crocodilo Vinyl, which is a realistic interpretation of crocodile skin. It is available in six different colours. Available from Elaine Cunningham Interiors

Set in London in the early 1930s, ‘Coward’ features playwright Noël Coward’s relationship with young struggling actor, Leonard Marlowe (a fictional figure) who arrives at Coward’s swank London apartment for an audition, only to find that the part Noël has in mind for him is as amorous as it is theatrical. And can Leonard ever really fit into the glittering world The Master inhabits? Tickets £8.

KATE HANRATTY HAS LUNCH WITH.... Sandy Rourke, Head of HomesHub at Plus Dane

andy Rourke, head of HomesHub, is an excellent advertisement for practicing what you preach. Having just bought her own home on a Bellway development in Roby she is now encouraging first time buyers to come and get independent free advice at the 2012 First Time Buyers Show. HomesHub, the government’s affordable homes agent in the North West and part of the Plus Dane Group, is hosting the show, which takes place on April 21 at the Halliwell Jones stadium in Warrington. “We’ve had hundreds of tickets downloaded already,” says Sandy. “But if you don’t have a ticket on the day we won’t turn you away, there will be free parking and lots of free information.” As a recent buyer herself, Sandy understands how first timers feel. “I know how daunting it can be to buy your first home,” says

Sandy. “Not a lot of people understand what shared ownership or shared equity means. People hear shared ownership and think 'who do I have to share the house with?' There’s an overkill of terms sometimes and we can explain them,” she adds. The show will give would-be buyers the chance to have their questions answered. “There will be developers there, independent financial advisors and solicitors,” says Sandy. “People can come along, talk and get free independent advice. I think people think ‘I can’t afford to buy a house, I’m priced out of the market’ but there are products that can help which we can advise you about.” Warrington was chosen as the location for the show because it’s a good mid-point for the whole region but there will be developers exhibiting who have affordable homes in Liverpool, Sefton and Knowsley. Indeed, HomesHub which is a

“I know how daunting it can be to buy your first home.”

not for profit organization, promotes affordable home ownership across the whole of Merseyside and Cheshire. “We give people advice as to what schemes are best for them,” explains Sandy. We want to make the neighbourhoods we serve better places to live by giving people more choice of property and tenure types.” We meet at the refreshingly different Sidedoor in Liverpool’s historic Georgian quarter where the interior is bright and appealing, the vintage furniture has been lovingly restored and there are fresh heather sprigs on each table. Sandy orders chicken Caesar salad while I opt for the veal meatballs. Sandy’s salad dish comes with bacon, anchovies and croutons and is “delicious.” My meal is so well presented with chilli and sage that it looks too good to eat. The fresh tomato sauce leaves a lot of other meatball sauces far behind. As we tuck in Sandy explains some of the misconceptions first time buyers might have. “Since the mortgage market has contracted people feel they

haven’t got a big enough deposit so they might be living with parents or renting from a private landlord - which is fine – but there are products such as shared ownership, shared equity and first buy where people only need a small deposit. We can educate people about these schemes and independently recommend which is best for them.” The First Time Buyers Show then will prove extremely useful. As well as seminars throughout the day on the process of buying your first home, there’ll also be the chance to win prizes from sponsor IKEA - the perfect coup for a first time buyer. Coming up for HomesHub and Plus Dane are exciting developments within Liverpool in the next year. And of course they’ll continue to help first-time buyers across the region to take that allimportant first step on to the property ladder.

NEW LIVERPOOL RESTAURANT

CARLUCCIOS METQUARTER OPENING 4

The Italian godfather of gastronomy Antonio Carluccio came to Liverpool to celebrate the opening of his 59th restaurant. The author of 13 recipe books and star of the BBC’s ‘Two Greedy Italians’ said: “I now hope Liverpool will be famous for three things, the Beatles, football and Carluccios.” A traditional Italian accordion player serenaded the guests with Italian favourites such as ‘That’s Amore', while guests including Liz McClaron, Jude Cisse and the cast of Desperate Scousewives were treated to complimentary prosecco, mouth-watering canapés and the restaurant’s signature dish of mushroom risotto.

1. Claire Simonsen (Radio City 96.7) and Antonio Carluccio (Owner of Carluccio's). 2. Robert Nadler (owner of Base 2 Stay Liverpool) Antonio Carluccio and Simon Kossoff. 3. Jude Cisse, Antonio Carluccio and and Liz McClaren. 4. Antonio Carluccio and Frank Prendergast (Lord Major of Liverpool). 5. Michael McCabe and Laura Owens. 6.
