Happy New Year!

Here at Your Move HQ we’ve made (and broken) half a dozen resolutions already and are resigning ourselves to the fact we’re neither going to lose weight nor exercise more in 2013.

But if you want a resolution that’s bit more achievable and a lot more useful why not take a look at our tips for making money from your home and make 2013 the year you make some extra cash?

If you’re heading off on a New Year’s skiing holiday check out our gorgeous styles for on and off-piste on pages 50 and 51.

We start this year’s talent section with a corker of an interview when we meet Scouse superstar Stephen Graham and if you’re already suffering from the post-Christmas blues worry not, we’ve got all the best events across the city to cheer you up.

If you would like to get a head start on making more money from your home then follow our five simple steps below.

TAKE IN A LODGER If you are lucky enough to have some extra space at home, then your spare room could equal extra cash if you are willing to open your home to a lodger. Sharing homes has become commonplace of late as more and more people find themselves priced out of the housing market either as buyers or renters. Plenty of home-owners are taking in tenants to get them through tough times and the government’s rent-a-room scheme allows you to earn up to £4,250 a year tax free from a lodger. Whether you live in the city centre or the suburbs you could expect to collect anything from £100 up to £500 a month for your spare room. You can get an idea of what you could charge by looking at properties similar to yours at www.spareroom.co.uk or www.easyroommate.co.uk.

28 Your Move

If you would like a little less disruption for your money then you could consider a parttime Monday to Friday lodger. A popular option for the growing number of employees who have to travel for work, part-time lodgers seek rooms near to their place of work. City centre rooms are particularly in demand but wherever there are places of employment, there is the chance that a worker from outside of the city may need a room nearby. A parttime arrangement means that your lodger will travel home at weekends and is more likely to bring a suitcase rather than moving their entire wardrobe into your home. So as a parttime landlord you can have weekends to yourself and can still expect to collect anything from £100 to £300 every month. Prices of rooms vary according to location and quality of housing. See website www.mondaytofriday.com to look for part-time lodgers.

are countless websites dedicated to home-swapping and with villas in Spain, properties in Singapore and loft spaces in Paris, one look and you will be hooked.

Sign up fees to websites can cost from £49.99 to £115 per year, but bear in mind that this is around the same price you would pay for one night in a hotel.

Cutting costly accommodation out of the equation when it comes to your holiday expenditure makes a lot more possible for your holiday buck. See www.homelink.org.uk, www.homeforexchange.com or www.intervachomeexchange.com and you could be packing your bags sooner than originally anticipated this year.

HOME-SWAPPING IN THE HOLIDAYS Instead of paying out for costly accommodation when you go on holiday your home could host another family while you stay in their property for free. Sign up to an international home-swapping website, upload pictures of your property and you could be switching your home for foreign climes. There

HOST A FOREIGN STUDENT Liverpool is a city popular with international students and this means that there are students from several universities, college and language schools willing to pay for home-stay accommodation. Some students who travel to

p24-37_YM 21/12/2012 07:38 Page 29

England to learn English prefer home-stay accommodation with a local family or individual as it allows them to fully immerse themselves in the English culture and language. You could earn from up to £80 a week hosting a foreign student and they can stay from varying periods from just a few weeks up to years while they complete their studies. Sites such as www.homestaybooking.com, www.homestayfinder.com or www.liverpoolhomestay.org can offer a starting point in linking up with a home-stay student.

Liverpool Student Housing represents all of the city’s universities and colleges, you can find out more about offering home-stay accommodation in Liverpool by contacting lsh@liv.ac.uk or calling 0151 794 3296.

RENT OUT A PARKING SPACE If you have an empty parking space on your property then you might have hit the jackpot.

People are always keen to save money where they can and with car parking charges breaking the bank at in excess of £120 a month to park in city centre spots your empty parking space could be in high demand. You could collect up to £80 a month for renting out your driveway or parking space. Other spots in the city where parking is in high demand include spaces close to football stadiums such as Goodison or Anfield. With a lot of people travelling to the same place at peak times to watch the match, football fans may be willing to pay

a high premium to park in your driveway.

Advertise your parking space at www.parkatmyhouse.com, www.yourparkingspace.co.uk or www.gumtree.co.uk

OFFER YOUR HOME FOR FILM SHOOTS If you don’t mind crowds of people descending upon your home for filming, then registering your property as a film shoot location could be just the ticket to some extra income. Even semi-derelict properties are in demand as a whole host of locations are needed to film scenes for TV and film. You could earn anything from £100 up to £2,000 if your property is picked as a filming location.

You can register your property at www.shootfactory.co.uk, www.locationworks.com or www.locationsuk.com As with all of the above advice, don’t worry if your home wasn’t recently featured on Grand Designs, beautiful country piles, city centre lofts and original builds will always be desirable but by the same sentiment there are still travellers, students and production crews interested in getting a taste of the real Britain. When it comes to places used for filming just think about the

locations you see on TV and in film every day, from gritty dramas to offbeat films, location shoots truly are a mixed bag.

With a bit of planning, extra organisation and know-how you could be making the most of your home’s full income potential in the New Year. By truly exploiting every inch of space and squeezing every extra penny out of your home, who knows where all the extra income could take you in 2013.

“We find that lots of first time buyers are still baffled by all the help available and this is the perfect opportunity for them to come and speak to us face to face and ask any questions they may have. It’s also a great way for

buyers to assess all their options in one go with all the help and advice they could possibly need to hand.”

Jason Newton, sales director, Barratt Homes says: “Barratt is always eager to support events like this. We have 28 sites across the North West, and each one features quality new homes which are perfect for people looking to get on the property ladder.

Keepmoat ends couples seven year wait for home  A football-mad couple who have spent seven years trying to get their foot on the property ladder have finally moved into their first home on the Wirral.

Christine and Tim Roberts, who both work for Tranmere Rovers FC, spent years staying with friends and relatives as they scrimped and saved for their first deposit on a house.

Now the newlyweds, who tied the knot in the summer, have finally got a place to call their own after moving into Keepmoat’s new St Joseph’s development at Birkenhead.

“It’s been a long wait, but it’s well worth it,” said Christine.

Christine and Tim looked at dozens of properties before they accidentally stumbled across Keepmoat’s flagship 75 home St Joseph’s development and fell in love with the three-storey, threebedroom Oakhurst home.

The Government-backed NewBuy and First Buy schemes, which help first-time buyers trying to save for deposits are available at the St Joseph’s scheme.

Redrow spreads Christmas joy at Alder Hey  For many people a cuddle with a teddy is the perfect tonic when they’re unwell so a visit from Redrow’s health and safety mascot Buster Bear was the ideal preChristmas gift for patients at Alder Hey Children’s Hospital in Liverpool.

Buster was joined at the hospital

by Claire Jarvis, sales director for Redrow Homes (Lancashire), and marketing co-ordinator Janine Edwards.

Armed with gifts, they visited wards L2 (palette, tonsils and tracheotomies) and E2 (orthopaedics) and gave toys and games to patients.

Claire says: “Many of those who work for Redrow at our Liverpool developments Cressington Heath and Summerhill Park developments are parents and we all recognise how distressing it can be to have a child who is ill and in hospital, particularly over the festive period. We wanted to bring some Christmas joy to Alder Hey and hope that the children enjoyed meeting Buster Bear and receiving their presents.”

Chris Done, head of fundraising

Redrow’s mascot Buster Bear with Daniel Lee, age seven

and PR at Alder Hey, said: “It was a lovely gesture for Redrow to bring presents for the children in two of our wards. When you’re unwell there’s nothing better than a cuddle with a teddy so being able to meet Buster Bear was a real

treat for the children.”

PA Properties team with Ken Dodd

32 Your Move

The company, which is located on Marsh Lane, was set up by Paul Farrell.

He says his vision was to create a company offering the lowest fees

possible with the highest customer service available.

To do this he handpicked the PA Properties team, who have over 25 years experience between them, from an array of different agents.

Paul says: “Over the last few years in the property industry buying and selling has changed.

People no longer buy houses from shop windows; it is proven that 94% of people find their house on the internet. With this in mind, it does not matter where your agent is based in the city but rather what type of service you are getting and

what fees you are paying.

“One of the key features PA Properties provides at no extra cost is the virtual tour guide video of each property. This enables prospective buyers or tenants to see exactly what the property is like without actually going into the property. All of this has helped PA Properties become one of the fastest growing agents in the North West.”

Stephen Graham, hardworking actor from Kirkby, is arguably one of Liverpool’s biggest and best exports. After appearing in countless films and TV series’ he has become a firm favourite at home and across the pond, his particular forte is showing a distinct human side to the difficult characters he often plays. Your Move caught up with Stephen over a cup of tea to talk about why he always plays the thug, conversations with Martin Scorsese and how even future mob bosses can have a good sense of humour.

INTERVIEW WITH ACTOR STEPHEN GRAHAM

INTERVIEW BY KATE HANRATTY You are known as one of the most hardworking actors out there, appearing in countless films, TV shows and even music videos. If you had to pinpoint just one role which would you say has been your favourite? I would say Combo from This is England has been my favourite role. It was a role which I really immersed myself in, it was a very passionate project and very close to me.

Working with Shane Meadows I got to create a character that was very complex.

Combo wasn’t just a racist, he was a very confused character and came from a hard background as a child. I would say I learnt more on that job than on any other to be honest. I realised that I could actually act.

I also learnt a lot from little Thomas Turgoose about being real and in the moment as an actor. It was an absolute joy to do This is England and I still speak to Thomas Turgoose a lot now, he calls me and

40 Your Move

my wife granddad and grandma.

You are known for playing ‘Thug with a heart’ characters who could be dismissed as stereotypical thugs but then manage to show that even they have a side that people can relate to.

Would you say you are drawn to these characters? I don’t know about thug with a heart, (laughs) I play interesting characters. I try to play characters which challenge me, characters I want the audience to like, but then question themselves why they like them.

I was in an episode of Bad Cop recently and wanted to play a character with absolutely no redeeming features. I wanted the audience to hate him instantly which I think worked, even my own mum said she was happy when I eventually got shot in that one.

Martin Scorsese has cast you twice in Gangs of New York back in 2002 and more recently in hit HBO TV series Boardwalk Empire. What is Martin Scorsese like to work with and is it true he has dubbed you his British Joe Peschi? Yes, he has called me that (laughs) and he is absolutely brilliant to work with.

When Boardwalk Empire came around I was at home and I got a phone call that goes (adopts a New York accent): “Hey, How ya

doin. You home from work? I was like “Yeah, yeah.” And then he says: “So you wanna play Al Capone?” I was like “Yeah ok sound!” Three weeks later I was on a plane to New York to film the series.

What was it like pretending to be Al Capone in Boardwalk Empire? Great fun actually. Al Capone is such an iconic figure and he has been played by some fantastic actors. But where we are trying to do something different is playing him from when he was young. We wanted to show that he was an alright kid at one point. I know that he was a psychopath and a sociopath in many respects, but I do actually quite like him, he’s a funny guy. We wanted to put across his sense of humour, show the humanity to him and show him with his wife and kids at home. Obviously there is a long way to go before he becomes the iconic Al Capone figure that we all know and the person that he eventually was, so we get to show the journey.

What is your favourite thing about your hometown of Liverpool? The people.

When I’m not working I try to get up here as much as I can, I’m always home to see my friends, family and for the kids to see their Nan and Grandad.

By this tenet, Neil Campbell, a “We book innovative and classically trained guitarist, different acts, interesting jazz, composer and creative campus folk and world music that you manager at Hope University, is might not get to see anywhere exactly the right person for the else in Liverpool,” says job of booking acts to play Neil. “For a city that at the city’s Capstone has a history of “We book Theatre. excellence innovative and Praised by the producing classic different Classical Guitar hits, sometimes Magazine for music that does acts...music that ‘outstanding not fall into the you might not get originality of thought’ three minute pop to see anywhere in his own song format can else in Liverpool.” be overlooked.“ performances, he has also booked acts such as Having previously Jah Wobble, Public Service worked for Hope Broadcasting and MOBO award University for ten years as a winning Zoe Rahman for the senior administrator of its arts pleasure of the Liverpool public and humanities faculty, Neil says at large. that some of his biggest Last year the theatre, just 15 achievements at the theatre so minutes walk from the city far include booking sell out centre, saw Chilly Gonzales, concerts with acts such as June Portico Quartet and rising piano Tabor, Oysterband, King star Tigran play and is fast Creosote and John Hopkins. becoming one of the most He has also been instrumental

in setting up Liverpool’s first ever Jazz Festival. Taking place from February 28 until March 3 in the theatre, the festival is expecting to pull jazz-enthusiasts into Liverpool from across the country. Paid for concerts by international acts will be complemented by free concerts from local bands. The festival aims to bring together the culture of jazz bars and concerts all under one roof.

“There will be cutting-edge new British Jazz with a lot of instrumental virtuosic playing and impressive musicianship but still set within an accessible format,” says Neil. “We pick artists that don’t always fit into simple genres and so alongside recognisable elements of jazz there will be fusions with rock, electronic music, reggae and merengue.”

International acts booked as part of the festival include Courtney Pine, a world renowned saxophonist who recently featured on ‘Later ... with Jools Holland’ on BBC2 and Mercury Music Prize nominated Roller Trio.

Back at the restaurant, meals thoroughly enjoyed, benedict

pasta for me and a ceaser salad for Neil, we note that The Quarter on Faulkner Street has a distinctly home-grown, continental feel. Surrounded by home-made breads, cakes and delicacies, we also have a gorgeous view of Faulkner Street’s original granite cobbles, Blackburne House and The Anglican Cathedral. Alongside this picturesque view of Liverpool’s Georgian quarter that is hard to rival, it is no surprise that The Quarter is consistently packed to the rafters with diners who enjoy high quality food and a good atmosphere.

On a parting note, Neil manages to summarise the overarching ethos behind all of the bookings at the theatre.

“If there is something on, regardless of whether you know the artists name or not, people should know that at The Capstone it will be innovative music, well played and with quality musicianship as standard.”
