Issue 1

LET’S GET YOU MOVING IN 2013

SUTTON KERSH SUPPORTS ZOË’S PLACE

On behalf of everyone at Sutton Kersh, may I wish you and your family a very happy New Year. So, what does the New Year have in store for you? Perhaps it’s a new job, a new car or that trip of a life time. Or, will 2013 be the year when you decide to finally move house. If it is, we are here to help! This year, Sutton Kersh celebrates its 37th birthday, during which time we have established ourselves as Liverpool’s leading independent estate agency, helping thousands of people successfully sell their houses. And, although we continue to evolve and embrace the changing face of the property industry, we have never compromised our core values of integrity and service, something for which we are extremely proud. We look forward to being of service to you in 2013. James Kersh Bsc (Hons) MRICS, Managing Director

Zoë’s Place Baby Hospice in West Derby is our chosen charity for 2013. Throughout the year we will be carrying out various fundraising initiatives in support of the hospice, which provides specialist palliative and respite care for babies and small children. James Kersh said: ‘The work the hospice does is truely inspirational and we are delighted to be supporting such a worthwhile cause.’. Carol Kirkham Fundraising Manager at Zoë’s Place said: ‘We are delighted to be Sutton Kersh’s chosen charity for 2013. It costs our charity in excess of £3,500 per day just to maintain our current level of care, which we can only achieve through the ongoing support we receive from corporate partners like Sutton Kersh.’ www.zoes-place.org.uk

OUR PRICE IS RIGHT – IS YOURS?

TOP TIPS FOR WINTER SELLING Thinking about selling your house this winter? – here’s our 6 top tips for winter sales success! 1. Turn up the heating, switch on the fire and make your home as warm, cosy and welcoming as possible 2. Tidy up your garden. Ensure leaves are cleared and any cutting back has been done and, if there is any snow on the ground, make sure the path is cleared and safe to walk on 3. If you have photographs of your house and

garden taken in the summer months, have these on display and draw attention to them 4. On those dark and gloomy winter days, pull back the curtains, open the blinds and let as much natural light in as possible – and don’t forget to clean the windows! 5. Ask visitors to remove their shoes to protect your carpets and floor coverings. It also lets them see how house proud you are 6. Talk to Sutton Kersh, Liverpool’s leading independent estate agency chain

Accurate valuations and realistic pricing will be the key to sales success in 2013, say our team of experienced valuers at Sutton Kersh. Buyers will not entertain a property which has an over ambitious asking price, but get the price right and a successful sale is achievable. At Sutton Kersh we work closely with our vendors to make sure the valuation is accurate, based on detailed price comparisons and an intimate knowledge of the local area, before we start the marketing campaign. General market conditions are likely to remain fairly stable during 2013 with no significant change in house prices. However, growth in the rental market is set to continue, fuelled particularly by first time buyers unable to secure mortgages, which is great news for landlords! If you have a property to rent, call us now on 0151 207 5923. We have tenants waiting!

Advice from chartered accountants 0151 228 8977 10 tax mistakes that landlords make!

Liverpool Personal Injury and Criminal Law Specialists

Julia Casimo

With the 31 January filing deadline fast approaching, many landlords are labouring over their computers filling in their 2012 Self-Assessment Tax Returns. With this in mind, read our list of 10 common tax mistakes below to ensure you’re not giving the taxman more (or less!) than you should be... 1 Forgetting to include other income We see many examples of people who leave off their salaries from their tax return, believing that as this income is taxed at source, it is not relevant. The same can go for bank interest. It all needs to be included. 2 Not claiming the ‘Wear and Tear’ allowance When it comes to furnished property you can either claim the renewals basis, ie you claim the cost of renewing any items of furniture etc, or the ‘Wear and Tear allowance’. In the great majority of cases the ‘Wear and Tear allowance’ makes more sense, giving a straight 10% deduction from net rents. Watch out though, you can’t chop and change!

Vanessa Lester, our department head, has more than 15 years experience of dealing with all types of personal injury claims.

No win no fee service You keep 100% of the compensation £500 refer a friend or cash advance* Services such as rehabilitation, recovery, hire & repairs

We deal with all types of accidents We can visit you in your own home *Conditions apply contact us for further details.

3 Offsetting property losses against other income, to generate a refund You can never (other than for Capital Allowances) set rental losses against your other income, they can only be carried forward to the day that your rental business is in profit. 4 Not recording rents on an ‘Accruals Basis’ This is accountants jargon, but for most landlords it means that rents should be recorded on a due basis and not on a paid basis. So if the rent due in the year was 12 x £500, then the income figure for your tax return should be £6000 even if your tenant may have actually paid you slightly early or late. If a debt goes bad, then you get relief for that.

5 Putting income from jointly owned property on only one person’s tax return Many people believe that as long as someone is reporting the rent then that is good enough. Rent and expenses from jointly owned properties need to be split in the proportion of the ownership and reported on the tax returns of all owners. 6 Getting the mortgage deduction wrong Many people think that the entirely of their mortgage repayments are an allowable expense, however if you have a capital repayment mortgage or if you have remortgaged to more than you paid for the property (including Capital expenditure) then the amount you can claim will be restricted. 7 Not claiming travelling expenses and out of pocket expenses Landlords can claim travel costs when they relate wholly to the letting business. Other common mistakes are omitting expenses like council tax and utilities for void periods. 8 Making a claim for your own time in managing the property business A landlord cannot claim the cost of his or her own time (unless the property is owned and let by a company). However landlords could consider paying wages to another family member who helps with the property business. 9 Not claiming capital allowances Landlords who have several properties and carry out their own repairs, can claim a (usually 100% ) deduction for equipment purchased. This can apply to vans, office equipment, gardening tools etc.

10 Assuming that taking your figures to an HMRC contact centre means they have been ‘agreed’ Discussing your tax return with one of HMRC’s staff at call centres or contact centres offers no protection against an enquiry, and is not guaranteed to pick up even the most basic errors. If in doubt – seek proper advice.

HOT TOPIC hat are your plans for 2013? If you’ve had enough of making (and breaking) frivolous resolutions why not make this year the year you really make a change and do something you’ve always wanted to do – like finally take the plunge in the housing industry? If you’re one of the many firsttime buyers desperately wanting to buy your first home this could be the year you make it happen. “We've seen some big changes in the housing market in recent months that have given a huge boost to people looking to move into their first homes,” says Jen

Brown, sales director, Keepmoat. “It's been a difficult few years for first-time buyers with many people believing they were effectively locked out of home ownership by lenders demanding massive deposits.” “Thankfully, the picture is now a lot brighter, with more and more people across Merseyside finally able to take their first steps onto the property ladder”. From government initiatives and new twists on old schemes to the unmissable First Time Buyers Show we take a look at some of the best options available for would-be buyers 2013. ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

SHARED OWNERSHIP One way of getting on the housing ladder is to buy part of a property and rent the remaining part until you can afford to buy it outright. This can be done through a shared ownership scheme. These are usually provided by housing associations and allow the buyers to buy between 30% and 75% of a home. You’d only need to take out a mortgage to pay for the share you want to buy. ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

FIRSTBUY FirstBuy is a shared equity initiative launched by the coalition government and derived

from the Labour-led HomeBuy. With FirstBuy you buy a minimum of 80% of the market value of a property. An equity loan of up to 20% is provided to assist your purchase. You will need a minimum of 5% for your mortgage deposit. After five years there is a fee of 1.75%, which increases annually in line with inflation. "Access to finance, particularly for first-time buyers, has been one of the main reasons for the stagnation of the housing market in the past few years, meaning that hundreds of families and young people across Merseyside have been kept off the property ladder,”

market as a whole.” Jenny Bell, sales director designate at Bellway Homes, agrees. “The last 12 months has been promising and we feel confidence is certainly returning to the marketplace in Liverpool,” she says. “Throughout 2013 we believe first-time-buyers will play an important role, particularly with a number of Government schemes now available offering much needed assistance. "With eight developments in Liverpool, including Alderman Place, Williamson Place and Roby Park to name a few, plus many more across Merseyside, Bellway Homes supports NewBuy, a government backed 95% mortgage initiative aimed at helping firsttime-buyers looking to purchase a new build home. NewBuy is available at all Bellway Homes developments on all properties.”

says Keepmoat’s Jen Brown. “FirstBuy has been key to reversing that trend, offering a financial lifeline through an equity loan for buyers who are often easily able to meet mortgage repayments, but struggling to save the large deposits required by lenders. “It is great that the government have announced that the scheme is set to be extended in 2013, which makes this a great time to be looking for your first home.”

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

NEWBUY With NewBuy housing, developers and the government underwrite mortgages to reduce the amount of risk for lenders. Developers contribute 3.5% of the purchase price of a property and the government provides 5.5%. This means borrowers just have to provide a deposit as small as 5% of the value of the property they want to buy. “Time and time again our buyers tell us that it is mortgage availability, not mortgage affordability, which is preventing them from buying,” says Christine Aitken, sales and marketing director for Taylor Wimpey North West. “NewBuy will help both those looking to get on the property ladder and those who want to move but have limited equity in their existing home, so it's good news for the

95% LTV MORTGAGES One of the biggest problems firsttime buyers face when it comes to buying a house is raising a big enough deposit. After the credit crunch hit lenders became more risk averse than ever before and as a result demanded huge deposits from buyers in order to protect themselves. But with the market showing signs of recovery – and with the introduction of a government scheme, which sees lenders gain access to cheaper borrowing rates if they agree to

lend more - 95% LTV mortgages are making a reappearance. According to Moneyfacts back in January 2010 there were just nine 95% LTV mortgages in the market. This month there are 71. ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

FIRST TIME BUYERS SHOW 2013 The one thing first-time buyers need more than anything is sound advice, which means the First Time Buyer Show 2013 is unmissable. The show, which will

be held on March 23 at the BT Convention Centre, will give would-be buyers the chance to get expert advice, meet first-time buyer friendly solicitors and find quality affordable homes. Homeshub, the governmentappointed affordable homes agent in the North West returns as host of the event. Plenty of big names including Barratt Homes and Countryside have already signed up to exhibit at the show and more are set to follow. Redrow Homes is the latest company to show its support for first-timers by signing up to the show. Claire Jarvis, sales director for Redrow Homes (Lancashire), says: “We’re delighted to be involved with the First Time Buyer Show as it’s a great way to engage with people who want to make that allimportant first step onto the property ladder. Buying your first home may seem daunting, but our friendly, experienced sales consultants are really looking forward to meeting would-be home owners and explaining just how simple and straight forward it can be. 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. By taking part in the First Time Buyer Show we are able to demonstrate to people not only

the wide range of properties available at our developments, but also the different schemes in place to help people make their first move. Buying your first home is incredibly exciting, with schemes like NewBuy and FirstBuy specifically aimed at helping first time buyers.” If you want to give yourself the best possible chance of buying a house in 2013 download your free ticket today from www.firsttimebuyersshow.com or for more information contact Jo Tait on 0151 709 3871.

It’s created a modern, aspirational look that perfectly suits city living

and complements West Tower’s amazing views.” The show apartments help showcase how West Tower offers up to 925sq feet of living space – more than most other city centre apartments. Each apartment includes modern kitchens, floor to ceiling windows throughout, air conditioning and a master bedroom with en-suite as well as a further bedroom and bathroom. Home to the Panoramic restaurant, West Tower was built by Beetham in 2007 but the majority of the building’s 123 two-bedroom apartments never made it to the market when the property developer went into administration. Delph now has a range of twobedroom apartments available in the exclusive development starting at just £130,000. The

apartments are being marketed by Jones Lang LaSalle. Richard Forman, head of sales and marketing for Delph, said: “We have already received a lot of interest from potential buyers – agreeing sales with several tenants already living in the building that want to purchase their apartments. We expect demand to be very high now that we are officially launching

for sale and have show apartments ready to view.” To find out more about West Tower, visit the sales office and show apartments on the 22nd floor of West Tower at Brook Street (open 7days 10am-5pm from 19 January), call 0151 236 8800 or visit www.westtowerliverpool.com.

The developer joins the likes of Barratt Homes and Countryside Properties at the event which will see a host of property heavyweights descend on the BT Convention Centre for the North West’s biggest event for would-be homeowners. Claire Jarvis, sales director for Redrow Homes (Lancashire), says: “We’re delighted to be involved with the First Time Buyer Show as it’s a great way to engage with people who want to make that all-important first step onto the property ladder. “Buying your first home may seem daunting, but our friendly, experienced sales consultants are really looking forward to meeting would-be home

owners and explaining just how simple and straight forward it can be. They’ll be on hand to tell people about the homes we have available in the Merseyside area and how incentives such as FirstBuy can help make dreams of buying a brand new home a reality. “We’ll have our own stand at the show, but will also be sponsoring and taking part in seminars during which, along with legal experts and mortgage specialists, we’ll be answering would-be buyers’ questions.” The First Time Buyer Show takes place on March 23.

Award-winning Liverpool property networking

Gavin Barry

 The Liverpool Property Investors Network has been named the “Best Attended Property Networking event in 2012” outside of London at a prestigious awards ceremony in Birmingham. The meetings, which are held on the fourth Thursday of the month, were launched in September 2011 and are designed for local property investors to network with other local investors, build up their personal contacts and keep up to date with any changes in the market or latest investment strategies. Property Investors Network (pin) was established in 2003 to provide a supportive environment for people to learn about successful property investing and is now the largest organisation of its type in the UK, hosting regular monthly network meetings for its members in 35 different cities around the UK. The Liverpool pin meeting, which now regularly attracts more than 70 investors at each meeting, edged past more established pin meetings, such as Manchester, Leeds and Birmingham, to claim the award. Local based property investor and host, Gavin Barry, says: “This is a fantastic award for the Liverpool property investor’s community.” The next Liverpool pin meeting is being held at Village Hotel Liverpool, Fallows Way, Whiston, Merseyside, L35 1RZ on Thursday 24 January 2013.

Mortgages becoming more affordable  A local mortgage broker says that in 2013 the affordability of mortgages for first-time buyers is already on the up. Brian Green, sales director at Mortgage Xperts says: “Contrary to what the press say there are affordable options for first-time buyers on the market. People worry that their mortgage applications might not be accepted or that they won’t be able to afford the deposits but recent research can debunk both of these myths.” Research by Halifax Bank stated that it accepted eight out of 10 mortgages from first-time buyers in 2011(based on internal Halifax application data from 02/01/2011 to 31/12/2011) And the Council of Mortgage

Lenders stated that the number of mortgages (90% LTV Mortgages) which only require a 10% deposit, have risen by 50% since 2011. Mortgage Xperts has been open for over five years in Orrell Park, Liverpool. Between four staff the mortgage brokers have over sixty years of experience in the mortgage business. “We are also finding that we have a lot of enquiries where help from the ‘bank of mum and dad’ is involved but getting a mortgage is becoming more and more affordable for first-time buyers,” says Brian. “We’re not stuffy mortgage brokers in grey suits and ties we have a relaxed atmosphere in the office with large comfy couches and we find that people come in for a chat about mortgages instead of an interview.”

To find out more about mortgages at Mortgage Xperts see www.mortgage-xperts.co.uk or call 07971 539 915. For more information on how 2013 could be the year of the first time buyer see our Hot Topic feature on page 48.

Surge in sales predicted for 2013  Property auctioneers The Auction People, the residential arm of Pugh & Co, has predicted a surge in residential sales in 2013.

Pugh & Company in partnership with The Auction People, has sold in excess of 1500 properties with sales of over £80.5 million in 2012. The deadline for entering lots into the Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds and Newcastle auctions is January 30. Kate Lay, who heads up The Auction People, says: “Over the last 12 months we have seen an increase in investor activity with competitive bidding in the auction room. We are anticipating that 2013 will be even busier for the residential market with Kate Lay many early

instructions already receiving a good level of interest. “We have seen a 6.5% increase in residential properties offered at auction against an industry decline of 0.5%.” National figures compiled for Estates Gazette by the Essential Information Group (EIG) show a 4.5% increase in overall UK auction revenue to £3.5 billion in 2012. Pugh & Co has been ranked the fourth largest auction house with an 8% increase of sales between 2011 and 2012, from £59.1 million to £63.7 million. To register a property for auction, go to www.theauctionpeople.co or email auctions@pughauctions.com.

Tell us a bit about your new book Disappearing Home? Disappearing Home tells the story of Robyn, a ten-year-old girl who is sent out to steal for her parents. The novel is set in 1970s in Liverpool, a time of unrest, with strikes and the three-day week in full force which reflects the unrest in the novel. How much of the novel draws from your own experiences? I can’t remember what I had for my tea yesterday, but I can remember Sir Thomas White Gardens (or Tommy Whites) a place I grew up in, like it was yesterday. I remember each landing had a chute where rubbish was tipped and I remember playing out in the square with a skipping rope or two balls. I remember the lads kicking a football around with goalposts made from empty drinks cartons or jumpers and giving ‘takeys’ on the back of a bike. I used this setting for my novel because I wanted to create a strong sense of place of a community that no longer exists. How does it feel to have your first novel praised by Jimmy McGovern and Alan Bleasdale? I remember watching Alan Bleasdale’s ‘Boys from the Blackstuff ’ and being moved by the realities faced by the working class characters Alan had created. If a person’s work can move you like that, you know it’s something special. Jimmy McGovern’s work has the same effect on me. His recent work ‘Accused’ was a powerful piece of drama that was difficult to forget. The fact that they’ve both read Disappearing Home is incredible and I’m both overwhelmed and grateful for their feedback. You wrote your first novel in Frankie & Bennys on Edge Lane, was this difficult? It was a place where I had no distractions. The staff are wonderful, they gave me a corner of

INTERVIEW BY KATE HANRATTY

my own and there’s something about the music in the background that is conductive to creativity. Some days when I’d finished writing a chapter, I would think this will probably never see the light of day. And it’s okay to have thoughts like that, as long as you don’t believe them. Sometimes we can be our own worst enemies. Yes, writing a novel is a challenge but then isn’t anything that requires a lot of effort and commitment? I would return to Frankie’s to write again, the pizzas are great. Where do you live now? I have lived in Anfield for 24 years. I know it sounds like a cliché but I do love Liverpool people. On the night Disappearing Home was launched, over 160 people turned up to buy the book. People in Liverpool are delighted for you when you do something extraordinary. If you’d have told me five years ago that I would have a national book deal I would never have believed it. It’s like Rebecca Ferguson, I had never voted on an X-Factor show before, but she was just phenomenal and it makes me feel great to hear about talented scousers triumphing in their chosen field. You have had some interesting jobs before taking up writing, a chambermaid, a bingo caller, a dressmaker and a primary school teacher, do you feel like these jobs shaped you for writing a novel? Books have been the one constant good in my life. I loved teaching in the primary school, because I used to make up stories off the top of my head and tell them to the children. I watched their reactions and encouraged them to tell stories to each other. It is the best feeling in the world to have helped another person fall in love with stories, books and film. I think it did help shape me as a writer, because those experiences made me want to reach a wider audience What is next for you in 2013? I would like to finish the sequel to Disappearing Home, continue teaching, and hopefully find a publisher for my poetry book ‘Making a Suit for Elvis’.

Hot in the city WHAT’S HAPPENING OUT & ABOUT IN LIVERPOOL

 HAIR & BEAUTY

Hollywood hair stylist to the stars opens a Liverpool studio A former hairdresser to Hollywood stars has set up a studio with her own pick of the highest quality hair extensions in Liverpool. Dianne Marshall worked in Beverly Hills with clients such as Kate Winslet for her performance in Titanic, Gwyneth Paltrow for Shakespeare in Love and for some of the UK’s most well known WAGs. The hair extension expert has now opened her own studio on Hanover Street Liverpool offering a high quality range of hair extensions.

Dianne Marshall says: “I am excited that my new range will be accessible to the women of Liverpool who love their hair extensions but thought that my range was out of their reach. What’s more I am working with the stylists to pass on my 25 years of expertise and knowledge.” Dianne Marshall’s hair extension collection is available online at www.diannemarshall.com or visit the new studio at Hanover House on Hanover Street.

 CHARITY

LOCAL BEAUTY Add your name to Oliver SPA RAISES IN King Foundation petition EXCESS OF £33,000 Celebrities including Phil Tufnell, magician Dynamo and Coronation Street’s Kym Marsh attended a fundraising bash at Sefton Park Palm House which raised £33,417.50 for the Liverpool homeless. The House Beauty Spa arranged the event to raise the astounding amount of cash for The Whitechapel Centre, Liverpool’s leading housing and homelessness charity. Margaret Harry, of The House Beauty Spa, says: “There for the grace of God, go you or I. We have supported The Whitechapel Centre for a number of years, especially at Christmas time and it was wonderful to be supported by so many celebrities. With many unique auction items and donations from guests on the night we raised a staggering amount of money.” The Whitechapel Centre offers solutions to housing and homelessness including outreach work, a cold weather shelter for rough sleepers in the winter and resettlement and support services for those most in need.

There are just three weeks left to sign the Oliver King Foundation petition to install defibrillators in all public buildings by 2017. The foundation was set up following the tragic death of Oliver in March 2011. The 12-year old King David High School pupil died during a swimming lesson from Sudden Arrhythmic Death Syndrome. Oliver’s family believe, if there had

been a defibrillator available, Oliver may have been saved and are now campaigning to have the life saving equipment installed in all public buildings. The foundation has until February 10 to collect 100,000 signatures. For more information visit www.theoliverkingfoundation.co.uk and to sign the petition visit epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/29399.

 FITNESS

Free gym session at the Adelphi Hotel Gym Spindles Health and Leisure Club at the Adelphi Hotel is offering free gym sessions to Your Move readers. The club has been established for over 25

years in the internationally famous Adelphi Hotel which dates back to 1914. With an original swimming pool, steam room and a state of the art gym, the club is ideal for those looking for a good city centre gym deal. Jane Barrett, club manager says: “We look forward to welcoming

old and new customers back to the gym in the New Year.” Unlike many city centre gyms, there are no joining fees or contracts and membership starts at as little as £6 for a standalone session in the gym or £19.50 for a monthly pass. To claim your free gym session, including the use of facilities present the advert on page 70 at the club, this offer ends 31 March.

John O’Gorman, director of Your Move Matthews

ith twenty-five years of estate agency experience under his belt, John O’Gorman is now heading up the first branch of the largest estate agency brand in the country in Liverpool. I caught up with the director of Your Move Matthews over lunch at Pruno Restaurant on Woolton Road. From our table in the smartly decorated eatery, with bright green walls and low hanging lights John says he can recall the days of selling property on Woolton Road, back in 1988 for sums of around £35,000 a property. Since starting in the industry in 1987 he has had quite a remarkable career and seen both the ups and downs in the market. John rose through the ranks of local estate agents to become area manager for Halifax Estate Agents for Merseyside and the Lake District area before

eventually becoming the national estate agency development manager for the firm. In May 2006, John bought the Halifax estate agent branches in Allerton and St Helens before the estate agency arm of the banking group was sold to the LSL property services group in 2010. The two branches were then rebranded as Your Move Matthews. The Your Move Property Group is the largest single estate agency brand in the UK with a national network of nearly 300 branches but has been an agent somewhat underdeveloped in Liverpool with the nearest branches being Prescot and Skelmersdale. Since re-branding business has boomed and Your Move Matthews has enjoyed growth in the lettings side of the business of 70% in the last year and 120% growth in 2011.

“Viewings in 2013 are already up on last year so far.”

“On the lettings side, I think a lot of people now are choosing letting now as a lifestyle choice, for the next year or two,” says John. “But ultimately, in the long term I think people will come back to buying property in volume.” With a wealth of experience and manager of over twenty staff between the two branches of the estate agency, John says that he has seen the boom and bust of the property market before and that as long as mortgage lenders produce more competitive offers then the market will gradually improve. “We are already experiencing a lot more appetite, viewings in 2013 are already up on last year so far,” says John. “In the late 80s and early 90s we went through this same cycle and by 1996 to 1997 we were coming out the other end. I think we are through the worst now and as long as nothing major changes I think it will be a steady road to recovery in about two years time.”

Our meals thoroughly enjoyed, a melon, feta and prosciutto salad for me and Morrocan ‘Ras el hanout’ chicken skewers for John, cooked in Pruno’s Josper charcoal oven, one of the first in the North West which is said to sear meat perfectly. We both note the painstakingly beautiful presentation of the food brought out from the chefs and the genial atmosphere of this upscale bohemian restaurant. Food, atmosphere and eclectic playlist, just right, this is a place that I would like to visit again. On a parting note, as John is off to value properties in the area, he says: “If I have learned anything from my last 25 years in the estate agency industry, it is that property is a great investment. Stock markets have a tendency to crash and 25 years from now you can bet that people won't believe how cheap property was in 2013.” For more information on Your Move Matthews call 0151 734 4911
