Thanks to Lovell, owning a new home in Kensington Court has never been easier or more affordable. In fact, with prices for a 2 bedroom home starting from only £81,596 with shared equity we think buying your own home may be cheaper than renting.

But buying doesn’t mean you can’t have those extras that make a house a home. For a limited time selected homes come with a host of added extras at no extra cost.

Tel: 0151 260 7342 www.lovell.co.uk/kensingtoncourt *SHARED EQUITY Based on a 95% mortgage on 85% shared equity price with a minimum 5% deposit contribution. The maximum Equity Loan will be 15% of the purchase price, the equity loan is provided Lovell Partnerships Ltd and is held as a charge. This scheme is available on selected Lovell properties subject to status and terms and conditions. It is not available in conjunction with any other offer or promotion. Lovell Partnerships cannot give you any financial advice but can refer you to an Independent Financial Advisor. The reservation fee of £500 (fully refundable on legal completion) may not cover the whole cost of obtaining a mortgage and purchasing the property and appropriate professional advice should be sort. The £500 figure also assumes that you are eligible for a 95% mortgage at the fully funded share price of 85% of the property value. This will also be subject to the terms and conditions of the appropriate lender and you must seek professional advice to ensure you match the criteria. Other fees may be required. A minimum deposit of £4,800 will be required dependent on lender’s criteria. The weekly payment figure £94 (rounded up from £93.55) is based on the mortgage being a repayment mortgage over a 25 year term and subject to availability and suitability. Fixed rate for the first 2 years is 3.89%. (4.2% APR). Total fees for arranging the mortgage is £1,224. Total amount payable over 25 years assuming no change in interest rates would be £123,163. An early repayment charge would be payable before the end of the 2 year period and would be a maximum of £2,330. The maximum Equity Loan will be 15% of the purchase price, the equity loan is provided Lovell Partnerships Ltd and is held as a charge. The repayment sum will reflect 15% of the market value of the property at the time of sale or valuation. Interest charged from the 6th year of 1.75% is on the market value of the property at the time the loan was taken out multiplied by the outstanding percentage under the equity loan. The annual fee of 1.75% will be uplifted by RPI + 1% per annum. Prices and information believed to be correct at time of going to press and are subject to change without notice.

nless you’ve been on another planet for the last few weeks you’ll know that 2012 marks the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II. In 1952 her Majesty was made Queen following the death of her father George VI. To celebrate the jubilee we take a look at what else was happening all those years ago.

p34-49:p03-12 22/05/2012 17:30 Page 39

IT WAS the surge in property prices back in the early 2000s that contributed towards the credit crunch – as average prices skyrocketed to £184,131.

Even with house prices taking a tumble the average property today, according to Nationwide, sits at £162,722. Sixty years ago house prices were just a tad more modest with the average property costing £1,891. New houses would go for around £2,107 while older properties hovered around the £1,524 mark.

As in most cities, Liverpool’s council was still battling to replace houses bombed during the Second World War. As a result many areas of the city centre were redeveloped and “overspill” towns were created on the outskirts (including in Kirkby and Skelmersdale) to house those people who’d been shipped out of the city centre streets.

LIVERPOOL FC finished the 1951/52 season in 11th place (in division 1) with 43 points.

1952 was also the year Liverpool broke it’s own attendance record when a massive 61,905, headed to Anfield to watch the home side take on Wolves in the FA Cup fourth round, a match they won 2-1 thanks to goals from Bob Paisley and Cyril Done.

EVERTON were in the second division in the 1951/52 season having been relegated the year before. They finished the season 7th and wouldn’t be promoted to the first division again until the 1953/54 season – the same season their local rivals Liverpool were relegated.

BACK IN 1952 New Musical Express magazine started the first ever UK music chart, by polling record stores to find out which records were selling the most. The first ever number one was Al Martino’s “Here in my heart” which stayed at the top spot for nine weeks, giving Martino the first number one of 1953.

While the 50’s would go on to be dominated by a certain swivelhipped singer from Memphis, Tennessee, he would not start releasing records until 1953.

During the 1950s Liverpoolborn singers Frankie Vaughan and Michael Holliday became household names.

And of course the music world was soon to be set alight by four lads from Liverpool - bringing with them the Merseybeat sound that would take over a generation but the swinging sixties were still far off on the horizon when Elizabeth II took the throne.

NOWHERE is it more obvious how times have changed than in the average shopping basket. We take a look at how prices compare between 1952 and 2012.

• White loaf unwrapped 3.1p (£1.25) • Loose tea (125g) 6.6p (98.5p) • Sugar granulated 7p (£1.07) • Pint of milk 2.9p (46p) • Pint of beer 9.1p (£2.73) • 20 cigarettes 17.9p (£6.72) (Source AOL Money.

IN THE 1950s film was big business with movie lovers heading to the many picture houses in Liverpool to catch the latest US box office smash. From the Gaumont Palace cinema in Anfield and the Rialto Cinema in Toxteth to London Road’s great Paramount Theatre and Lime Street’s Palais De Luxe to name just a few, Liverpool was full of ornate and impressive cinemas. In 1952 cinema-goers saw the likes of Charlton Heston, Elizabeth Taylor and Gene Kelly grace the Silver Screen with The Greatest Show on Earth, Ivanhoe and Singin’ in the Rain amongst the top grossing films.

IN 1952 TV VIEWERS were treated to the likes of Come Dancing, Andy Pandy and Muffin the Mule. The Flower Pot Men made the television debut, along with Harry Corbett’s puppet bear Sooty. But the biggest TV event of the year was the funeral of King George VI, televised on February 15.

Buy a Gleeson Home for £390 per month  Renters longing for a house with a garden may be wrong in thinking they can’t afford one according to Gleeson.

With mortgage repayments on their brand new homes starting from £390 per month, Gleeson believes many potential buyers are renting unnecessarily.

Linda Matura, sales manager for Gleeson Homes, says: “Many people think they can’t afford mortgage repayments or they don’t earn enough money to buy.

However, Gleeson offers a number of schemes to get first time buyers onto the property ladder. As an example a young couple earning a combined income of £17,000 or more can get a mortgage and purchase a Gleeson Home using the government backed FirstBuy scheme.

“All Gleeson’s homes feature on plot parking and generously sized gardens which are perfect to celebrate the great British summer in.”

Last year Gleeson was awarded £1.10 million of funding from the government’s FirstBuy scheme and a large proportion of this

money has been allocated to help buyers in Merseyside purchase a new home.

With FirstBuy, buyers only pay 80% of the purchase price with the outstanding 20% provided as a loan, which is interest free for five years.

Gleeson has just released a new phase at Montreal Gardens in Huyton where three-bedroom homes are for sale from £87,996 with FirstBuy. The housebuilder will open its

show homes at Cawdor Park in Granby at the end of May. Prices of the two and three-bedroom homes at Cawdor Park start from £75,196 with FirstBuy. Buyers are urged to visit soon and reserve a home at pre-show home prices.

Gleeson’s Sales Office at Montreal Gardens and Cawdor Park are open daily from 10am to 5pm.

More landlords show their CLASS  Liverpool landlords are continuing to prove they’re at the top of their game by signing up to a voluntary accreditation scheme.

The council led Citywide Landlord Accreditation Safety Scheme (CLASS) now has over 300 landlords signed up, with a whopping 1500 properties accredited.

A further 60 applications have been submitted this month with more expected before May is out.

CLASS is a free scheme for private landlords, which recognises good quality, well managed private rented accommodation.

It sets out minimum safety, contractual and service delivery standards that tenants can expect when they rent accommodation.

These standards are clear, understandable and readily achievable.

Landlords who apply to become accredited must submit properties along with safety certificates for accreditation.

Sheila Kirk, landlord accreditation officer at Liverpool Council, says while any voluntary accreditation scheme will likely

have slow growth she’s confident the numbers of accredited property and landlords will continue to increase. Sheila’s mission is to urge all landlords and letting agents into joining CLASS. Sheila believes CLASS represents landlords who are working together to improve standards in private rented housing.

She says: “People seeking to rent accommodation in the private rental sector don’t always know who or where the good landlords are. There is also a perception that

all private rented sector accommodation is poor. Landlord Accreditation raises the profile of private landlords who look after their properties to provide safe and decent accommodation for rent. This accreditation helps people seeking accommodation in this sector to go to landlords we consider to be professional.”

For more information on how to become accredited visit: www.liverpool.gov.uk/class or email: class@liverpool.gov.uk.

of uses including a conversion into luxury apartments or refurbishment with a view to returning to it its former glory.”

The property, set over four floors, has a large plot backing onto Princes Park and a substantial three-storey extension to the side.

Geoff continues: “The number of lots for each of our auctions this year has continued to increase auction by auction, proving that buyers and vendors alike are encouraged by the

auction market and have more faith in the process. We’re expecting a large turn out”.

Few people in the entertainment world can boast a career as long and successful as Rolf Harris. Aged 22 he left his native Australia to study art in England and went on to become a household name both here and downunder. Now the six-decade career of the artist, singer, presenter and musician is being celebrated with a retrospective exhibition at the Walker Art Gallery.

We caught up with the man himself to find out what inspires him.

INTERVIEW BY CHRISTINE TONER How does it feel to have an exhibition here? It is hugely exciting for me. I’ve been drawing, painting and singing as long as I can remember and to see so many of my life’s endeavours together in one exhibition is hard for me to believe.

Do you have any favourite pieces? I particularly like the lovely painting of the Walker Art Gallery. That’s worked wonderfully well.

When did you do it? When I first came to see the gallery to decide whether we could do the exhibition or not. The organisers asked if there was any chance of me doing some paintings of iconic Liverpool views.

They wanted around half a dozen paintings of different views from across Liverpool, which would be included in the exhibition, so they took me around in a car to look at everything. The sketch of the walker came from one of those photos I took. It just worked like a dream. There’s another one I did of the Catholic Cathedral that I really like. And I painted John, one of the attendants at the Walker. We did him a print of that

and I signed it.

Your father was talented and your grandfather was actually an artist, is that what inspired you? Yes, granddad was a portrait painter. He’s the one I was trying to emulate when I came over to England to study painting. My dad was a frustrated painter really because my granddad used to say to all the boys of the family ‘Whatever you do, don’t become an artist like me because you’ll always be broke and you’ll always be begging people to buy a painting’.

He talked them out of it all the time but he encouraged the girls in the family because it was a gentile thing for Victorian women to learn the art of watercolour painting.

What did your father and grandfather say when you became a painter? My granddad was dead long before I became a painter. I never met him; he died before I was born.

My father was very pleased with me. He was knocked out that I was an art student.

He had the talent but if you don’t do something when you’re young you never do it because you become afraid you can’t do it. When you’re young you’re fearless, you don’t know what you can’t do, you can do anything. That was me. I jumped right into it.

You’ve had a hugely successful career and achieved many things. Back

in 2005 you painted the Queen, would you say that was a stand out moment of your career? Oh very much so. It was a real honour.

Rolf Harris: Can you tell what it is yet? runs until 12 August at the Walker Art Gallery, William Brown Street, Liverpool.

Eves does well because it Sales negotiator Emma puts identies properties to suit a the family run agent’s success buyer that traditional searches down to hard work and might miss. determination. “We’re “The apartments really proud of how we’ve sold have been “The we have managed properties we’ve led to get to the top Ropewalks area buyers to that they of the wouldn’t have is really coming rankings,” she otherwise says. “We were considered,” she in to its own for 76th last year says. “For example sales at the and we’ve really the Collegiate in come on in leaps on Shaw Street in moment.” and bounds since Liverpool is classed as then.” an L6 property, but it’s “We have a reputation as within walking distance of a pro-active agent, we do work the city centre. A traditional really hard to get properties sold search for a city centre property and it’s paying off and making a would miss this but we know difference for us now,” she adds. about these kinds of places and

that’s how we get a lot of our sales.”

As we enjoy the food, starters of salt and pepper calamari and scallops, chorizo and black pudding followed by a grilled chicken breast sandwich for me and a salt and pepper chicken burger for Emma, she tells me about upcoming trends she is seeing in the sales market in Liverpool.

“A lot of people are coming to invest in property in the city centre and surrounding areas.

We’ve had Spanish and Chinese investors all interested in buying property in Kensington which is undergoing a big regeneration at the moment.”

Emma says in the current market some would-be investors are put off because they worry about letting their property, but they needn’t.

“We’re inundated with people trying to let properties off us. It really is a lettings market at the moment. We never have enough lettings stock. People are desperate to rent houses in

certain areas. You only have to look at how quickly some properties are let once they go on the market.”

I ask Emma which areas in particular are up and coming in Liverpool.

“The Ropewalks area is really coming in to its own for sales at the moment,” she says. “I think it’s going to be the next big area.

It’s so close to the city’s universities and Liverpool ONE, it’s an ideal place to invest.”

As we finish our meals we both agree that Allerton Road Bar & Restaurant is the ideal spot for a working lunch, especially with summer just around the corner. The restaurant is completely glass fronted and the glass slides aside to allow a feeling of outdoor dining but from inside.

THEATRE FLOATING IN THE NHS Unity Theatre 29 May - 30 May Meet a high dependency nurse, overworked, overstretched and undervalued. She is the beating heart of the NHS. The Unity Theatre presents a one woman show about life in the NHS, taking in the stresses and strains but also the joys of working in the health service.

Everyone has a story to tell about the NHS, terrible food, waiting lists, infections, inefficiency and complaints.

But alongside every scare is an

unheard story of compassion and kindness.

Written after extensive research including interviews with serving NHS staff, the play seeks to explore how we as a nation treat our health service. How we feel about the people who work for the NHS and relationships with people around us.

THE NORMAN CONQUESTS. At Liverpool Playhouse 25 May – 23 June

Tickets available from £8 call 0844 873 2888 for more information.

CULTURE: AN ICON’S ART Sixties icon Marianne Faithfull has curated an exhibition entitled Innocence and Experience at Tate Liverpool.

T H E AT R E

The exhibition marks a return to Liverpool for the former girlfriend of The Rolling Stones’ Mick Jagger. Marianne lived in nearby Ormskirk as a child while her father completed his doctorate at The University of Liverpool.

Singer and actress Marianne said: “I was brought up to appreciate art. I have been fortunate that my life is intertwined with artists and performers whose work is a continuing source of inspiration, which has guided the selection of works for this exhibition. I am delighted to be able to work with Tate Liverpool and with John Dunbar to realise this project.”

The free exhibition runs until September 2.

Over one weekend at a country house, family tensions and thwarted lust bubble over in the summer heat.

Amid sparring spouses, boring board games and dismal dinners, we join Norman as he struggles to bring peace, calm and happiness to those around him.

The Norman Conquests is an ingenious interlocking trilogy, telling a single story from three vantage points.

Each of the three plays – Table Manners, Living Together and Round and Round the Garden – is a full tragi-comic meal together they add up to a rich comedic feast.

Choose one of the three plays or watch them all.

Tickets £12-£21.

My favourite with...

GINA FOSTER Royal Milliner Gina Foster has produced hats for the likes of Kate and Pippa Middleton. She has had her hat designs featured in several style bibles including Vogue, Tatler and Style magazines and this year Gina judged the winning design of the Liverpool day hat for the Grand National in Liverpool. Gina told Go Liverpool her favourite...

Thing about Liverpool

Liverpool is such a creative city; the people seem to be quite arty and creative.

There aren’t that many cities that can say they have so many creative people coming from one place.

Musician

I am biased but my brother, Tom Figgins (www.tomfiggins.com), is a really talented singer-songwriter. We’ve been listening to his CD in the workroom at my shop in London to keep us calm in the busy run up to Ascot.

Restaurant

I love Medlar on the Kings Road in London, I always want to eat everything on the menu, particularly the puddings!

Film

Ocean’s Eleven – George Clooney, Brad Pitt, what’s not to love?

Holiday destination

I lived and worked in Meribel in France for four years so I love going back. I go skiing in the winter but it’s beautiful in the summer too.

Food

Chocolate, or anything from Ottolenghi which is just round the corner from my shop – I guess that adds up to an Ottolenghi chocolate brownie.

Item of clothing

My “Seriously Me” shift dress from Suzannah (www.suzannah.com) is also amazingly flattering and has solved the day to evening conundrum. I think a hat completes an outfit, people always stand taller and look better.
