Issue 3

HOUSING MARKET SHOWING CONFIDENCE

The first few weeks of 2013 appear to have brought renewed confidence to the housing market, with positive reports coming from many parts of the industry.

This is backed up by the the most recent Housing Market Sentiment Survey carried out

by Zoopla.co.uk, which revealed that 65 per cent of property owners think that house prices will rise by 3.2 per cent on average, over the next six months.

BETWEEN JANUARY 25TH AND MARCH 1ST, THE FIRM SOLD A WHOPPING 206 PROPERTIES ACROSS ALL LIVERPOOL POSTCODES

At Sutton Kersh, the year has also started with a real bang!

In the five week period between January 25th and March 1st, the firm sold a whopping 206 properties across all Liverpool postcodes, with levels of valuations and new instructions remaining high.

James Kersh, Managing Director said: ‘These figures prove that Sutton Kersh is Liverpool’s top selling agent, and by some distance. Vendors know that the sale of their most valuable asset is in the hands of a hugely experienced and successful team, with unprecedented local market knowledge.’

IT’S HAMMER TIME! FEATURED PROPERTY Have you ever considered putting your property under the auctioneer’s hammer?

Auctions are considered to be the fastest way to sell a property. If successful, the whole process from instruction through to completion takes just 8 weeks.

There can be no chain attached to the sale and valuations are generally lower to generate maximum interest. That said, there is no price ceiling and often properties sell for more money than expected. It is also worth noting that not all properties are suitable for auction.

Did you know that Sutton Kersh operates Merseyside’s leading auction house, consistently selling more properties, offering larger catalogues and attracting higher attendances than all local competitors at every auction since 2006? At our auction on February 14th, 82% of the 102 lots on offer were sold, generating total proceeds of £5,196,950.

Instructions are now being invited for our next auction which will take place on April 18th starting at 12.00pm at the Liverpool City Centre Crowne Plaza Hotel. The catalogue closes on March 22nd.

For more information please contact Sutton Kersh Auctions on 0151 207 6315

HELP! LANDLORDS URGENTLY NEEDED The lettings team at Sutton Kersh has made a flying start to 2013, with demand for rental property at an all time high.

The Allerton team (above) in particular has been inundated with enquiries and desperately needs additional properties to satisfy the number of tenants currently on the books.

Office Manager Elizabeth Fell said: ‘Last year we let over 200 properties in South Liverpool and this year is shaping up to be even better. With spring and summer just around the corner, which is traditionally our busiest time, we are keen to hear from new landlords.

‘We can offer them a totally flexible approach, providing let only and full management packages, dependent on individual circumstances.’

LANDLORD VIEW: My home in Aigburth has recently been let by the Allerton Road branch of Sutton Kersh. I can’t speak highly enough about what an impressive job they did ,within a short time frame and sourced what appears to be ideal tenants. I consider Sutton Kersh to be the letting agent of choice within South Liverpool.

Mr S. Massey, Landlord. Property let on the 7th day of marketing at £850 pcm.

In addition to Allerton and South Liverpool, Sutton Kersh manages rental properties from their branches at West Derby, City Centre and head office at Cotton Street which deals with areas to the north of the city.

So whether you are a landlord with properties to let or a tenant looking for a suitable rental opportunity, look no further than Sutton Kersh.

Taylor Wimpey has a number of new build developments in the area, which have all proved popular with local first time buyers, due to the wide variety of affordable homes on offer and the selection of enticing incentives available to help make the move as

cost effective and stress free as possible.

Across the region, Taylor Wimpey is building an array of new homes suitable for first time buyers at its Watermill Gardens development in Bromborough, Great Hall Park in Ellesmere

Port, Speakman Gardens in Prescot and Cunningham Grange in St Helen’s. The company has a range of two bedroom apartments as well as two, three and four bedroom houses available. Prices start from £81,995 for a two bedroom apartment (or from as

little as £65,596 through the 80 per cent shared equity scheme FirstBuy).

Sutton Kersh teams up with Auction Finance  Merseyside property auctioneer Sutton Kersh has teamed up with Auction Finance Limited to make quick funding available for buyers at auction.

Whilst banks and other traditional finance providers continue to impose strict lending conditions on property investors and pull back from funding small scale property developments and refurbishments, specialist finance companies are providing an essential role in bridging the funding gap.

Auction Finance Limited offers fast funding for property professionals and lend to individuals, partnerships and companies.

Investors can receive an offer in principle almost immediately after raising an enquiry either before, during or after an auction. Loans can be obtained for residential properties for up to 12 months and once terms have been agreed, access to the funds can be gained in as few as 24 hours.

James Kersh, director at Sutton Kersh says: “We are delighted to partner with Auction Finance Limited to help make available short term finance solutions for our clients.”

Sutton Kersh's next auction will take place on the 18 April at the Liverpool City Centre Crowne Plaza Hotel and instructions are being invited until the 22 March.

New City Vision home

Further more, for less than £75 per week buyers could own a new three-bed house with the developer’s shared equity scheme.

New City Vision will also be

offering a ‘three steps to reservation’ incentive package as a First Time Buyer Show Special.

HELP TO BUY AT THE ALBANY  Would-be buyers who are currently renting at Old Hall Street’s Albany building but want to buy are being given the chance to do just that

by City Residential.

The Albany rent refund scheme offers both existing and future tenants a refund of rent paid to

The Albany

help them purchase their dream apartment in the building.

Buyers can receive a refund of up to six months’ rent paid returned on completion of purchase, allowing the tenant to rent in knowledge the rent they are paying is not “dead money”.

What’s more, you don’t have to buy the apartment that you are renting.

The scheme is available on a selection of units for sale or potentially for sale in the future and allows buyers to experience life at The Albany before buying.

The rent refund can also

be used to help fund deposits in certain circumstances. What’s more a price can be fixed on your selected apartment at the start of your tenancy.

Frances Lyons, sales consultant, says: “This is a brilliant opportunity for both existing and prospective tenants to purchase one of the fantastic Albany apartments that they possibly thought was not an option to them.

We have already seen high interest levels in the scheme and we expect this to continue with the introduction of this scheme”.

For more information speak to Frances on 0151 231 6100/0151 236 4833 or visit the show apartment on Friday 1 March or Saturday 2 March for further information.

ABODE EXPANDS  Abode has continued its phenomenal growth by acquiring Edward & Brazier estate agents.

Abode, which launched in Allerton last year following the success of its flagship Crosby branch bought the business after being approached by Ed Crummey, residential partner at Edward & Brazier.

David Burns, director of Abode, says: “He approached us and only us as we were clearly doing things right in Crosby. We got all his sales and managed lettings stock. He wanted to pass his customers across to an agent that cares, and for him we were the only choice”.

Abode retained several members of Edwards & Brazier staff for its letting department so its property management team has expanded and there are now 10 people in its lettings headquarters in Crosby.

Its Crosby sales team recently recruited Amber Purcell from Michael Moon and the firm took another two new starters in Allerton, which has doubled in size in terms of staff within six months.

The company now manages 250 properties.

“We are looking to acquire more agents so if anyone interested in selling we are interested in buying,” says David.

Next PIN meeting a sell out  The next Liverpool Property Investors Network (pin) meeting is expected to be a sell out, organisers say.

Lloyds TSB will give a presentation at the event on how it can help local property investors grow its portfolios over the next 12

months. The bank was the only commercial lender in 2012 to have positive lending growth and it is keen to lend to Liverpool investors.

The Liverpool pin meeting, which is held on the fourth Thursday of the month, is 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.

Gavin Barry of Hugo James Property and host of the pin meeting, says: “This is fantastic news, obtaining finance in this environment is challenging but to have Lloyds TSB come and present to our members on how they can help us grow our portfolios is great, another fantastic meeting at the Liverpool pin” 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. To find out more about this meeting, and book your place online, visit www.pinliverpool.co.uk

SAVVY BUYERS ESCAPE RENT TRAP AT NORRIS GREEN VILLAGE  Would–be home buyers in Liverpool are bucking the national trend and shaking off the label ‘generation rent’ by taking advantage of FirstBuy at Countryside Properties’ Norris Green Village.

Mortgage payments at the collection of three and fourbedroom homes, off Stalisfield Avenue, start at just £374 a month, 64 Your Move

meaning first time buyers can own their own home for less than the average £593 monthly rent for an equivalent Liverpool property.

Through the governmentbacked FirstBuy initiative, buyers need only contribute a 5% deposit of the full purchase price of their new home. For a three-bedroom home at Norris Green Village priced at full market value of £123,000 for example, buyers will pay a deposit of only £6,150.

Peter Vella, regional sales and marketing director, says: “Paying monthly rent can be a huge drain on finances, making it harder for first time buyers to save for a deposit for a new home. It is for this reason that we have a range of affordable options for buyers to help them to own their own home, whatever their circumstances.”

Smith and Sons sees 75% sales at first 2013 auction

Become a property guardian  A nationwide firm is protecting vacant properties in Liverpool whilst offering an alternative for tenants looking for cheap accommodation in the city.

Smith and Sons auction team

 Smith and Sons has revealed strong sales figures for its first auction of 2013, with a 75% success rate.

With 22 lots available, auctioneer Chris Johnson, managed a packed room keen to bid on a varied and interesting catalogue, resulting in £1.3million in sales.

On offer were a range of vacant residential properties for refurbishment, commercial and residential investments and vacant commercial buildings. In total, 15 of the 22 lots were sold with two being withdrawn prior, resulting in a 75% success rate.

Star attractions on the day included a cottage style property in Higher Bebington needing refurbishment but ideal as an investment property, two empty houses in Liverpool again in need of refurbishment, and a residential investment in Birkenhead giving a yield in excess of 15%.

Auctioneer Chris Johnson says: “This auction was a good result for us showing some positive signs for 2013 and a higher level of interest pre-auction than was seen last year.

The number of people in the room demonstrated renewed interest in the property market and we hope this will gather further momentum through the year.

“This successful sale shows the benefits to both vendors and purchasers of the auction process.

Some excellent results were achieved and people in need of quick sales at realistic prices should seriously consider the auction route. We act on behalf of a number of Estates and Beneficiaries who recognise that auction sales are the best way of ensuring the best price is obtained.”

For more information visit www.smithandsons.net.

New approach proves popular with landlords  Estate and letting agent Karl Tatler has extended its late night opening after receiving a positive response from its landlords and tenants.

The agent, which has a lettings operation covering Wirral and Liverpool, says by opening every day and staying open until late on weekdays it can give its landlords maximum service.

Head of lettings Dave Seed says: “Our extended availability – we’re open seven days a week and until 7pm weekdays - is particularly popular with landlords. They know their property is being worked on longer to generate quality leads and busy landlords can call into our offices after work or at weekends if

that is more convenient. A successful landlord needs an agent that delivers on all levels.”

Dave says Karl Tatler also practices an efficient way of dealing with maintenance issues which saves landlords not only time, but money.

He says: “Tenants frequently call about problems, such as heating or appliances not working, and all too often agents will send out a maintenance contractor to investigate, costing the landlord a call out fee, regardless of whether it’s the landlord’s responsibility.

Instead we carry out a first phase investigation where we visit the property ourselves and see if it is something we can fix.

“Our experience means we can usually resolve the problem,

without bothering the landlord. If not then we will book in one of our approved contractors who only charge if work is required. Our clients know they can trust us to deliver exceptional service at all times.”

Ad Hoc Property Management matches properties with property guardians - working people who live, for very reduced costs, in properties that would otherwise stand vacant. This means not only that the property is no longer at risk, but also provides affordable accommodation to local working people, whilst using buildings in a socially responsible way.

Any building can be managed this way, from churches, to houses, flats, offices and care homes providing often spacious accommodation to local people. Guardians are attracted to living in these unconventional spaces by the low cost, as well as by the interesting spaces themselves and, if living in one of the bigger buildings, by the opportunity to meet fellow guardians.

Of course, there are differences between living as a guardian and conventional rental contracts and guardian companies such as Ad Hoc Property Management do not allow guardians to keep pets, and do ask that guardians live by certain rules, put in place to keep the buildings in good condition.

In return, Ad Hoc offers properties from only £135 per month.

For more information about becoming a property guardian call Ad Hoc’s Liverpool office on 0151 236 6061.

Star choreographer Miguel Doforo has showcased his Liverpool dance company’s moves to Michael Jackson, Kate Middleton and Prince William to name just a few. Your Move caught up with the owner of MD Productions, from Childwall to talk about the company’s latest shows, why Britain and Liverpool have got talent and how Simon Cowell wanted to ‘bottle the company’s passion’.

C H O R E O G R A P H E R

M I G U E L

D O F O R O

D A N C E F E V E R INTERVIEW BY HANNAH COLMER How was MD Productions set up? I left school with no qualifications and I always wanted to do something in performing arts but there was nowhere I could do that when I was young. I’ve never had a dance lesson in my life and I’m not a formally trained dancer but there was a point when I was unemployed and my New Deal advisor said ‘What do you really want to do?’ and my mum always said to me ‘Why don’t you set up a dance school,’ things went from there.

Is it true that the MD Company danced for Michael Jackson? What was he like? I learnt to dance from watching Michael Jackson videos and I’m a massive fan. We’ve performed to his songs on Britain’s Got Talent and then we were asked by his management company on his request to perform at an event called ‘Killer Thriller’ to celebrate 20 years of Thriller. We went down to London and I warned all the kids and parents that we needed to be professional when we met him but that completely went out of the window when he came in the room. There were 80 of us going mad, including my

mum screaming his name. He said that he loved the work that we were doing and told us to keep up with it he said ‘No dream is too big and that I should just keep going,’ and even sent me a letter after the show I couldn’t believe it. He was full of praise for all the dancers and everything we were doing. He spent five hours with us that day in rehearsals and giving us feedback and said me he preferred a raw dance style from the streets like ours.

Also we hear that you met Kate and William too – what were they like?

I was chosen by the government to be a dance ambassador alongside Arlene Phillips and others we got to go to Windsor Castle to meet William and Kate the week before they got married. They put me up for the night in a room in a tower of the castle and I literally felt like Cinderella.

Which is when I started to think how did I actually end up here?

Would you go on Britain’s got talent again? Yeah definitely, it’s a brilliant platform.

I recommend it to anyone who’s interested in performing arts it’s a great opportunity. Simon Cowell said to us that he wanted to bottle up our passion when he saw us and it’s always great to get his advice.

You recently performed at the Liverpool City Region Apprenticeship Awards at St Georges Hall. Why do you think these kinds of events are important? I love things happening in the city and I’m all about

bringing things to Liverpool. Liverpool is full of talent and I want to make it so people don’t have to leave the city to get noticed. St George’s Hall is a fabulous venue and it allows us to give something back to those supporting us. Also, with it being awards for apprentices, it’s all about the young people which I’m really passionate about.

March of the Mods comes to Liverpool Liverpool will be rocked by mod culture this month, as the Head of Steam Pub hosts an event in aid of Teenage Cancer Trust. The Mod inspired night, organised by Eddie Penny of Modrophonic Group, is the 15th in a series of 17 being held across the county to raise money for the charity.

Eddie says: “Music is passion, seeing unknown bands pay out of their own pocket to travel over 200 miles and then play for free for a cancer charity only fuels that passion for you to join in yourself. People inspire you in life to do things you never thought you would, the reward is priceless, the pride in what you all achieve, never ending.”

From Birmingham to Brighton, towns and cities across the county are coming together to raise money for Teenage Cancer Trust this March. March of the Mods is the brainchild of Liverpool Mod fan, Eddie. He has called on the Mod community to get together in

SATCHELL BEATS Fish & chip shop opens at Albert Dock WILTON TO DEFEND TITLE

A new eatery is bringing the taste of the seaside to the Albert Dock. Docklands Fish & Chips has opened on The Colonnades, close to Tate Liverpool.

Owner of Docklands Fish & Chips, Tony Kay, says: “It has been a big ambition of mine for many years to open a fish and chip shop at Albert Dock. The Dock is an iconic global landmark attracting tourists from all over the world, with some of the most amazing views you will find anywhere. Who wouldn’t want to set up shop here?

“We can offer Dock visitors the chance to enjoy quality fish and chips outside as they stroll around the quayside, at great value for money. There has never been a fish and chip shop at Albert Dock throughout its 25-year history, and we have already been inundated with people popping in just to tell us how we are exactly what has been missing here. The support from the public has been amazing.”

Local boxer Kevin Satchell is celebrating after successfully defending his British flyweight title.

Kevin, who is sponsored by Paul Crowley & Co Solicitors, faced Belfast’s Luke Wilton in the bout on February 23 and defeated his opponent in 12 rounds Kevin says: “I am really happy to have won, it was one of the hardest fights I have ever fought. Luke pushed me to 12 rounds, I’ve never gone to 12 rounds before so it was tough but it was amazing to win especially in front of such a big crowd.”

Kevin will now defend his title twice more before he fights for the European flyweight title.

MARYA MCCANN HAS LUNCH WITH....

Alison Gittins, sales and marketing co-ordinatior at HomesHub.

B

rasco Lounge at Mann Island has managed to create a lived-in French café feel, despite being a new addition to Liverpool’s waterfront. With mismatched wooden chairs and lampshades, cushions and walls lined with vintage wallpaper and midcentury modern pictures it looks like a country café in post war France.

I met Alison Gittins, sales and marketing co-ordinator at HomesHub, part of the Plus Dane group, for a relaxed lunch break in the run up to the First Time Buyers Show she has been organising for the past few months.

“This is our fourth show and we are building on the success of the past years,” she says. “The feedback has always been positive with guests confirming that they would definitely recommend the show to a friend.”

Alison chatted about the event, which takes place on Saturday March 23 at the Echo

Arena, over lunch; she chose three tapas dishes and I went for the fishfinger sandwich. The choice at Brasco is varied, with all day brunch dishes, burgers, paninis and a specials menu (each priced around £9.00) that, on the day we visited, included Devon oak smoked pollock with risotto, and pork belly with salt baked beetroot.

Stressing how helpful the event can be to people who have never bought a property before and may be intimidated by much of the jargon surrounding the property market she says: “Everything is under one roof at the show. We have financial advisers, conveyancing solicitors, mortgage advisers and developers all on hand to chat to.

“There is no hard sell either, which we feel is important, as it allows guests to just browse and research as much as they need to know. We are delighted to have IKEA as one of our sponsors too,

“Everything is under one roof at the show.”

as their stand is always full of goodies and the opportunity to win a £1,000 voucher this year in one of their competitions.”

Alison highlighted the halloumi as her favourite of the tapas dishes, served in a really tasty sauce, and she thought that the overall presentation of the three tapas served together on a long plate made it even more appetising.

My fishfingers were oversized home made breaded pieces of “sustainable white fish” wedged between two pieces of buttered white bread and served with perfectly cooked chips. So good was the food that we that we couldn’t manage a dessert, despite the old fashioned puddings menu offering such delights as spotted dick and knickerbocker glory.

Alison believes that there are misconceptions surrounding the property market and that first time buyers would really benefit from learning about the affordable schemes and alternatives to renting available.

She says: “As an example, people get confused about the term ‘shared ownership’ and

think it must be something to do with sharing a home, rather than it being about how you fund that initial mortgage and your stake in the property.”

Contrary to news reports about the scarcity of mortgages and the high deposits now required she pointed to schemes whereby buyers may only need a 5% cash deposit.

Plus Dane’s ethos is sustainable neighbourhoods with choice of tenure and choice of home. Alison thinks that for many people who are either first-time buyers, or at a change in their life (perhaps following a relationship breakdown or career move) that now is a good time to buy.

“We recognise that there is not as much affordable rental opportunity as there once was,” she says, “and with such low interest rates we can really help people get a foot onto the housing ladder.”

Visit The First Time Buyers Show on Saturday 23 March at The BT Convention Centre, Liverpool Echo Arena from 10am - 4pm.

ore than 100 giant Easter eggs arrived in Liverpool ONE on the 27 February for a five-day stay, as part of ‘The Lindt Big Egg Hunt’. The eggs will be touring the UK and are returning to London in time for Easter. The pretty and patterned eggs were dotted around Liverpool ONE for eager egg hunters to go and find them and with the daily handing out of delicious Lindt chocolate to participants of the hunt, there was no excuse not to get involved!

All the money raised will be going directly to ‘Action for Children’ who help over 250,000 people a year.
