ALLERTON BRANCH TURNS 20!

Our Allerton branch is celebrating its 20th birthday in February.

As other agents have come and gone, Sutton Kersh has been a permanent fixture on Allerton Road since 1993, helping countless people move house, and some on more than one occasion.

Although much has changed in the property industry in the intervening years, one thing has remained refreshingly consistent – the quality of our customer service!

Branch Director Alex Dixon said: ‘The length of time we have been selling houses in Allerton and South Liverpool is a reflection of the exceptional customer service we consistently provide.

‘Many of our clients have bought from us in the past and return as vendors, knowing from experience that their house sale is in the best possible hands.’

Put our customer service to the test, call now for a FREE valuation, 0151 734 0666

‘Harefield’, Lower Road, Halewood, Liverpool, L26 3UB

Price: 475,000 A property which ticks all the right boxes:

ESTAS AWARDS 2013 Voting has just closed for this year’s Estate & Letting Agent Awards, known as the ESTAS. These recognise the best agents based on research conducted through homebuyers, sellers and landlords around the UK , measuring the quality of customer service provided through the home buying, selling and rental process.

Here is a selection of comments left by our customers who kindly took the trouble to vote for us; We sold and bought a property through the Sutton Kersh, Allerton Road branch.

Throughout the process we were kept updated on progress. The staff were fantastic and took away the stress. A special mention for Sue (Bullen) who was a star!

During a most stressful time, staff at the West Derby branch were more than helpful. Their advice was right every time and, their help and patience was greatly appreciated.

The attitude of ALL staff at this branch is a credit to Sutton Kersh.

The agent dealing with our sale was excellent throughout the process, and frequently went that extra mile to help us.

The Awards are presented at a special Ceremony in London on April 19th, so fingers crossed!

SPRING INTO ACTION FOR A SUCCESSFUL PROPERTY SALE If you are thinking of selling your house, then now is the time to spring into action.

Seasonal change greatly influences property sales and there is no better time than the spring to get your house on the market.

A lot of buyers enter the market around this time, particularly those with children, so they can get them into new schools for the start of the academic year in September.

There are other advantages to selling a house in spring. The longer days give more opportunities for viewings and most properties are at the peak of their appearance, with gardens alive with colour.

Don’t let the grass grow under your feet.

Talk to Sutton Kersh now – we will get you moving

Our view: ‘A magnificent and well proportioned family home, benefiting from a comprehensive improvement programme. Although the property has been modernised, particular attention has been paid to the restoration of original features, which has retained much of the building’s character and charm. Viewing is absolutely essential.’

Canning Street

£250,000

It's not often an opportunity arises to acquire an apartment in a finely restored and renovated Grade ll* listed building. The listed status of 2 Canning St is no doubt, in part, due to the magnificent stairway that graces the entrance hall, rising to a light-well at the top which floods daylight into this communal area. Unusually the servant's stair has been retained and this means that the apartments on the first floor and above have a rear door in addition to the main flat entrance door. This third floor apartment briefly comprises hallway, open plan living, dining and kitchen area, family bathroom, separate utility room and two double bedrooms offering views of the Anglican Cathedral. Stairs rise from the living area to a mezzanine study area. Energy Efficiency Rating – C.

Beautifully situated duplex penthouse (2100 sqft) with corner aspect over the River Mersey. Spread over two levels and briefly comprising open plan lounge and dining areas, separate kitchen with utility room, two double bedrooms with potential for a third, two en-suite bathrooms, separate WC, study area with floor-to-ceiling windows and doors leading out to a balcony with views over the river towards the Welsh hills.

Words by Suzanne McGuckin

Are things on the up in the property market?

Will government schemes and initiatives, designed to boost bank lending and help first time buyers open the market for the thousands of people who have in recent years been locked out? We take a look at some of the common problems faced by first time buyers, second steppers and sellers and highlight ways in which these problems can be addressed.

p41-63_p03-12 12/02/2013 14:38 Page 49

HOT TOPIC

RAISING A DEPOSIT The Equity Release Council reported at the end of 2012 that over 228,000 first time buyers have received more than £1.31 billion in deposits from parents over the last five years.

Nice if you can get it but sadly not all of us have the ‘Bank of Mum and Dad’ to rely on and thanks to the global credit crisis 100% mortgages are a distant memory.

With inflation running well above pay increases the staggering amount of people struggling to raise a deposit are left questioning their chances of ever owning their own home or taking the next step up on the property ladder.

The Council of Mortgage Lenders recently released data confirming that the average loan-to-value (LTV) ratio at the end of 2012 was 80%. Coupled with the findings from The Land Registry that the average cost of a house in England and Wales is just over £160,000, a typical buyer looking for a mortgage on a house of this price would have to find around £32,000 as a deposit – a very tough task for first time buyers and many second steppers who are finding themselves stuck in negative equity and unable to borrow as lenders become more stringent with their criteria.

A typical buyer looking for a mortgage would have to find around £32,000 as a deposit It isn’t all doom and gloom though.

The Bank of England’s Funding for Lending Scheme set up last year to encourage banks to ramp up their lending has certainly boosted the property market and there are a few options that might offer a glimmer of hope thanks to a number of initiatives that require a fraction of the deposit normally required.

The government has launched a series of schemes aimed at helping first time buyers and second steppers who cant afford to go down the traditional route. These come in the form of home ownership schemes such as FirstBuy equity loans, shared ownership and the New Buy Guarantee. These schemes enable first time buyers to realise their dream of home ownership and second steppers to make the move to much needed bigger properties. Further information on these schemes can be found at www.gov.uk/affordable-home-ownership-schemes/overview.

that you have done everything to avoid late or missed payments.

Ensure too that you are not tempted by quick access payday loans that will almost certainly be a red flag to mortgage lenders.

One new trend is 'gazundering'

There are thousands of mortgage deals available and choosing the one with the right LTV and interest rates for you can be both time consuming and confusing.

So where do you start?

Try talking to your own bank or building society to see what they have to offer. Make use of comparison tables noting down deals that look appealing and investigate these further or talk to a broker who has access to the whole of the market for advice on the best route forward for your individual circumstances.

PROBLEMS SELLING UP Collapsing chains and lack of buyers due to the lock out of first time buyers and the bottleneck of second steppers stuck in their negative equity homes are issues that most are well aware of.

There are however a number of new trends that are creeping up and giving sellers a shock.

One such trend is termed gazundering. We have all heard of gazumping but this new practice sees the buyer at the last minute, just as contracts are about to be exchanged, demanding a lower sale price or they will walk. With this in mind it might be worth keeping the property on the market until the deal is done so a backup might be found if things do turn ugly. Chain free buyers can also help avoid this issue as more often than not they are in a position to move quickly making it less likely that they will claim the value of your home has dropped since the original offer was made.

Know the condition of your home before you market it

FINDING A MORTGAGE As well as raising a deposit there are many other factors to consider when looking for a mortgage: Firstly you must ask yourself - will you be able to afford the repayments?

All mortgage lenders will ask to see bank statements and pay slips when conducting an affordability check based on current and estimated future outgoings. Your credit score will also play a big part in acceptance and may well result in a decline if anything suspect is shown, so make sure you are honest with figures and

Many sellers also find that issues can crop up during a survey.

This can lead to a price adjustment or even a sale falling through. Before you market you home make sure it is in a good state of repair. Know the condition of your home before you market it as you will be equipped with all the knowledge you need to flag them up with the buyer. This will help avoid the last minute haggle.

Hot & Happening HOT PROPERTY NEWS IN LIVERPOOL

Estate agent smashes target  Abode Allerton may only have opened its doors three months ago but the estate agent has already surpassed its target of 100 new instructions, director David Burns has revealed.

The Allerton branch opened in October following the success of Abode’s flagship office in Crosby.

As well as hitting its 100 new instructions target the Abode Allerton branch has also sold 40 properties in its first 12 weeks.

David says he believes Abode’s dedication to customer service and knowledge of the property industry are behind the company’s success.

He says: “The directors are property developers, and financial advisors, so they completely understand the housing and mortgage markets. Five or six years ago you’d only have to put a property on the market to sell it, nowadays it’s much more difficult. You have to be better and you have to work harder.

The more knowledge you have the more opportunities you can create”.

The agent recently announced plans to expand into premises next door to its Allerton branch to cope with increasing business demand.

Strong start to the year for city designer  2013 looks set to be the biggest year yet for Elaine Cunningham Interiors.

The designer is set to work with the Liverpool Echo Arena for a further 12 months after successfully joining forces last year to give the VIP boxes at the venue a facelift.

The Elaine Cunningham Web Shop will open online in early March with a launch event taking place at the Chapel Street Store.

And Elaine herself has been nominated for Entrepreneur of the Year at the Downtown Liverpool Women in Business Awards 2013.

The awards are being held in association with the Women’s Organisation and the event is being held at the Hilton hotel on Friday the 8 March.

Elaine says: “2013 is shaping up to be a fantastic year. I’m extremely excited to be working with the Arena once again as our partnership was so successful last year. The web shop is also really exciting as it gives us the chance to expand our customer base and gives our current customers even more choice.

Finally, I’m delighted to have been nominated for Entrepreneur of the Year at the Downtown awards. It’s such a strong category and I’m honoured be in the same group as

such fantastic business women.”

The coalition government has committed £280m of funding for

Claire Jarvis, sales director for Redrow Homes (Lancashire) says: “FirstBuy has been incredibly popular with our customers, including those in Merseyside, who may have otherwise have found it difficult to buy a home of their own. We’re delighted to have

Business booming for extension specialists

Before

 A local building firm is helping homeowners who are unable to climb up the property ladder to make the most of their home with a bespoke extension.

Premier Building Solutions, which was established in 1985, has specialised in luxury house building for over 30 years. Now proprietor Anthony Hancock says its aim is to help homeowners to get the home they’ve dreamed of by

creating tailor made extensions.

He says: “For those people who want more space but can’t move to a bigger house because of the housing market, we offer the perfect solution. Our extensions are built to a high specification and designed to suit the homeowners individual needs, all for a very competitive price.”

Anthony says Premier Building Solutions will ease the process for the homeowner by taking responsibility for all phases of

After

development, from applying for planning permission to completion.

He adds: “We’ll take care of everything from start to finish and we offer an insurance bond in that all our work is guaranteed for two years after we leave. With our experience and quality of work, we can afford to offer that. Not many other firms do.”

For more information on the extensions specialists visit www.pbs-northwest.co.uk

With the help of the governmentbacked NewBuy scheme, 95% mortgages are available at the Elm Park development in L6, which are primarily aimed at helping first-time buyers to get on the property ladder.

Elm Park

Emily Howarth of Sutton Kersh, the sole selling agent, says: “This scheme is great news for first time buyers who have struggled in recent years to buy their own home due to the large deposits required, which can be as high as 20%.

“Existing home owners and investors who may be attracted to Elm Park as an investment opportunity are also eligible for the scheme.”

Elm Park comprises just 13 two and three bedroom apartments, with prices starting from £99,950 and £120,000 respectively.

The development is located close to the historic Newsham Park in the leafy area of Elm Park and provides easy access to the city centre.

The scheme is officially launched on the weekend of February 23 and 24 when a fully furnished show apartment will be available to view, between 12noon and 4pm.

Potential buyers are advised that a £500 deposit will be required when a reservation is made.

Viewings after the launch weekend can be arranged by calling Sutton Kersh on 0151 236 2332.

PHANTOM INTERVIEW WITH ACTOR EARL CARPENTER

INTERVIEW BY EMMA GRIFFITHS You’re enjoying a wonderful career in musical theatre. How did you go about getting into this highly competitive industry? I suppose you could say it was completely by chance. I struggled at school and found an outlet in creative subjects such as art and drama. My drama teacher encouraged me to become more confident in my abilities and look at different career options, so I did. I began getting involved in local amateur dramatic productions, eventually setting up my own production company in Bournemouth and this snowballed into a career. It was strictly acting at first and the musical element came later but I was inspired by marriage of music and drama from an early age. It was actually a double cassette of The Phantom of the Opera that gave me my first taste of musical theatre and Jeff Wayne’s original War of the Worlds album with Richard Burton was another great inspiration of mine.

Throughout your career, you have played a number of iconic roles in timeless production such as Les

Misérables, The Phantom of the Opera and Evita. Do you have a favourite role?

I get asked this a lot but I honestly don’t have a favourite. Each of my roles has taught me something different and offered me something truly remarkable. I feel a certain responsibility for looking after each of these iconic roles on the stage.

You’ll be taking to the stage as Phantom in the 25th anniversary UK tour of The Phantom of the Opera.

What’s it like to play such an intense character? This is a difficult role to play.

Phantom is a masterful maestro and delivers an expiration of feelings and passion that the character has never experienced before.

It’s tough vocally too, going beyond vocals to shouting, unleashing a cacophony of emotions. However, there aren’t many roles as three dimensional as Phantom and it’s a character that I relish playing.

You’ve spent a fair bit of time touring in Liverpool over the last couple of years.

What do you enjoy most about the city and The Empire’s audience? Yes, it’s been a great pleasure to spend time in the city over the last few years with Evita, We Will Rock You and our concert at the Philharmonic. Liverpool’s a great place and I’m lucky enough to have friends in town that can show me around the real city. Every audience is different, but I’ve always found

that people in Liverpool love the theatre and being entertained. It’s wonderful to feed off the crowd’s enjoyment and the knowledge that your performance is being appreciated.

We believe that you also run a couple of businesses alongside your theatre career. Would you say that you have a bit of an entrepreneurial streak? I’m not sure about entrepreneurial- I haven’t always been successful! I’ve always wanted to be doing something and I never like to rely on just one thing. Running Gingerboy Productions has given me a great understanding of the industry and how things work on stage, off stage and in the office. I find each area of experience enhances the others.

What’s coming up next for you? After the 25th anniversary tour of The Phantom of the Opera concludes at the end of March, I’ll be concentrating on an upcoming Gingerboy project. We’ve been working on and touring a collaborative concert featuring a number of individuals who have played Phantom, which was picked up by two producers who have asked me to take the position of creative director. We’re looking to start a UK tour towards the end of May. • The Phantom of the Opera runs from 20 February - 9 March at The Liverpool Empire.

She and chips (a huge battered fish believes that a personal approach with chunky chips and a bowl of is paramount when helping a mushy peas) and decided on client buy or sell a property.

Parmigiana instead, thinly sliced “Finding out what a buyer or pieces of aubergine baked in seller wants from the whole cheese and tomato sauce. experience helps us to achieve With such broad competition this for them,” she says. ‘We are

very proactive at Venmore and will try to get offers on the table as soon as possible. Each person we deal with will vary greatly in what they are looking for, or what they want from a sale. And it is our job to identify this unique requirement and find it for them.

Venmore has no tie in period, whereby sellers are bound to the estate agent for a set period.

“We have no tie in period because we’re confident that we can provide the best service and will achieve the best outcome for our client,” says Francesca. “Also we are a family run business and I think this helps in creating an ethos that really tries to understand people and treat them well.

In addition to the routine job of selling homes, Venmore’s annual charity drive has become an integral part of working there. Francesca told me about this year’s chosen charities and the possibility of a Three Peaks challenge as a company fundraiser.

“We are attempting to raise £10,000 throughout the Venmore Group for Zoe’s Place and Claire

House,” she explains.

Our verdict on lunch?

According to Francesca the fish cakes were “delicious, with enough herbs and cheese to make the flavour more interesting than just fish and potato”. And my Parmigiana was a generous serving of baked aubergine, which has been cooked long and slowly enough, to melt in the mouth.

With so much experience of visiting homes and finding out what people are looking for, I wondered what Francesca’s ideal home would be like.

“My perfect home would probably be a Victorian terraced house, with original features like parquet floor, stained glass windows and cast iron fireplaces,” she mused dreamily as she got ready to leave for an afternoon of valuations.

Let’s hope her dream house is just around the corner.
