Latest news and views from Liverpool’s leading independent estate agency chain

Issue 5

SUTTON KERSH LANDS CUSTOMER SERVICE AWARD

Sutton Kersh has won an award at the prestigious Estate & Letting Agent Awards (the ESTAS) which recognises high levels of customer service.

Liverpool’s leading independent estate agency chain received the Silver award in the Best Estate Agent in the North West (South) region, which covers Merseyside, Cheshire and Greater Manchester.

James Kersh, Managing Director of Sutton Kersh said: ‘We are absolutely thrilled to be recognised at this year’s ESTAS, knowing that it is our customers who have judged our performance.

‘We take our levels of customer service very

SAY HELLO TO… Andrina Earl, who recently joined our property management team. With over 25 years experience in the industry there is not much she doesn’t know about property repairs and maintenance!

seriously and have always been proud of the personal service we provide. This is a great way to demonstrate that we are achieving our own high standards.’

The awards determine the best estate agents in the country through research carried out among customers who are asked a series of questions about the service they have received from their agent. In total 23,000 questionnaires were completed by customers during the competition.

AUCTION STOCK SNAPPED UP

25, Ballantrae Road, Calderstones, Liverpool, L18 6JG

Sutton Kersh sold 85 properties at its April auction, generating proceeds of over £6m.

It was the largest sale to be held in Merseyside since 2004.

Auctioneer Andrew Binstock (pictured) commented: ‘There was a fantastic turnout for the auction and it soon became clear that many of the people were there with the intention of buying.

‘Numerous bidding wars resulted in lots selling for significantly more than their guide prices, and this wasn’t a result of poor valuations, it was a result of sheer determination from investors to buy.

‘While interest rates remain at an ultra-low level, property is an attractive investment as a means for growing personal capital and I believe this is a key driver for the growth in demand for auction properties.’

Sutton Kersh will hold its third auction of the year on June 6th at the Liverpool City Centre Hilton Hotel, starting at 12.00pm.

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

James Capper who has passed his final ARLA exams and becomes yet another fully qualified member of the Lettings team.

Phil Lawton, Director of Lettings said: ‘We are committed to the personal development of all our staff and providing the highest level of service to our clients.’

Price: £520,000 • A beautiful semi-detached property over 3 floors • Established & desirable location • Attractive reception hall • Stylish fitted kitchen • 5 bedrooms, one with en-suite • Attractive lounge • Sitting & dining room • Family playroom • House bathroom, ground floor cloakroom & WC • Utility & laundry room For more information call 0151 734 0666 S PR IM I O SO P LAR LD ERT st Y c

SAY WELL DONE TO…

Simon Brown who runs the national scheme said: ‘The ESTAS is about recognising the hard work agents put in every day, every week and month of the year.

‘To be shortlisted is a great achievement, but to win is the highest accolade any agent can achieve.’

FEATURED PROPERTY

SAY GOODBYE TO… Marji Spiteri who is retiring after 10 years at our West Derby branch and relocating to Malta!

Marji’s loyalty and length of service is typical of the staff at Sutton Kersh and is certainly appreciated by our customers.

Advice from chartered accountants 0151 228 8977 Julia Casimo Declare the Pennies on Your Eyes! Taxman strikes another blow…

My wife and I have built up a substantial property portfolio, mainly furnished holiday accommodation. I have always believed that as I see this as a business for us, which takes up a lot of our time and effort, that I would be able to pass it on to my children without paying Inheritance Tax. Is that correct?

Buying a new home?

Our Residential Property service comes highly recommended

Despite promises to increase the IHT threshold to £1 million, the government have frozen the current Inheritance Tax ( IHT) allowances at £325,000 per person, until 2015. For a married couple taken together, in the simplest case, the allowances are therefore £650,000.

Many property investors have built up property assets well in excess of this, and their heirs will potentially face a substantial IHT bill. There are no reliefs available for residential or commercial property investments, but up until recently owners of furnished holiday lets could at least be relatively certain of a claim for Business Property Relief, which could save substantial amounts of Inheritance Tax. This was because, in essence, Furnished Holiday Lets were regarded as a business rather than an investment.

However HM Revenue and Customs have persuaded High Court judges that a large bungalow, called Fairhaven, overlooking the sea on the Suffolk coast was an “investment” rather than a “business” and therefore chargeable to IHT. The case was taken

by HMRC as a test, to establish in law their view that a very substantial level of services need to be offered by the owners of Furnished Holiday Lets for BPR to apply.

The services provided to clients, in this case such as cleaning, providing a welcome pack, and being on call to deal with queries and problems, were not sufficient to prevent the activity from being judged to be mainly that of property investment. All the other activities ( marketing, booking expenses, cleaning between lets, routine maintenance ) were judged as being to do with the ‘investment’ side of the business in that any landlord would incur them, albeit presumably less regularly.

This is a very unwelcome decision that may affect more than 100,000 holiday home owners. It is yet to be seen whether the plucky tax payers will attempt an appeal. In the meantime, and until new guidance is available, you should consider increasing the services offered to your guests, to include: • Organisation of car hire, equipment rental, booking restaurants; • In stay cleaning and laundry services; • Providing food for the fridge or freezer; • The provision of a games room, TV, computer • The provision of a land line and internet access • Lots of interaction with the guests.

minutes with...

LEE BOWERS sales manager, Barratt Homes

What does your job entail?

My job entails managing up to 30 new-build developments across the north west. With responsibility for primarily sales and completions, the role becomes wide ranging with having to oversee mortgages, conveyancing, site presentation, staff training, marketing and what sometimes seems like an endless mountain of paperwork.

What do you like most about your job?

I like being out on our developments with our sales advisers, thinking of ways to generate sales and making sure everyone is in the right frame of mind, and has the necessary skills and knowledge to give their best.

What part do you like least?

Least enjoyable would be some of the endless paperwork that needs to be done. It seems to breed!

What did you want to be as a child?

As a child I wanted to be a singer. I was in a band from leaving school and whilst we had a great time we didn't quite make it. I wouldn't change the experiences and adventures though.

What are you going to be doing straight after this interview?

I will be going to one of our developments.

CURRICULUM VITAE Louis Anastasiou managing director, Andrew Louis

Age: 47 Main duties: I am responsible for the day-to-day operations of Andrew Louis.

Education: I left school at 15 with a couple of O-levels.

First job: Lifeguard in the local leisure centre.

Shortest job: Butlins in Minehead. And no, I wasn’t a redcoat!

“It always helps if you do something you actually enjoy doing.”

Founded Andrew Louis in: 1989.

What is the secret of your success? To name a few, integrity, innovation, passion, perseverance and being customer service focused.

What is the best piece of advice you’ve ever received? Never let failure get to your heart and never let success get to your head.

What piece of advice would you give to someone wanting to set up their own company? It always helps if you do something you actually enjoy doing, research your market, prepare a good business plan and make sure you have a good bank behind you.

What makes Andrew Louis different? We have been around a long time but we are also a very

modern company. Our traditional values of honesty and integrity are combined with the latest technological advances to provide our clients with the finest personal service.

Over the years we have won awards for various aspects of our business from our website to our customer service.

Tell us a bit about Andrew Louis' plans for this year: We have plans to expand the business to increase our market share and will shortly be opening a third branch in the Old Swan area.

What do you predict for the Liverpool housing market?

We have seen a vast improvement in the number of sales compared to this time last year and with the launch of the government’s Help to Buy scheme I predict further improvements. The

lettings market will remain strong for the foreseeable future due to strong demand and population growth.

What advice would you give to buy-to-let investors? Location is the most important aspect of any property purchase, followed by the type and quality of the property. You also need to think about your target tenant and do the maths to ensure that you can achieve the right rental yield.

“SHOP AROUND TO GET THE BEST MORTGAGE DEAL

BY CHECKING ONLINE OR SEEING AN INDEPENDENT BROKER.”

QUICK-FIRE QUESTIONS Most common mistake people make when buying property: Failing to carry out proper market research before purchasing. If the property is purchased for investment purposes then seek advice from a regulated agent, such as those registered with the Association of Residential Lettings Agents (ARLA).

Top tip for first-time buyers: Arrange a “mortgage in principal” before making any offer on a property, as most estate agents will need to know that you are a serious buyer.

Best way to get a good mortgage deal: Shop around to get the best mortgage deal by checking online or seeing an independent broker.

How to bag yourself a rock-bottom mortgage rate MORTGAGE RATES HAVE FALLEN TO RECORD LOWS BUT HOW CAN YOU GO ABOUT SNAPPING ONE UP? AND ARE YOU RUINING YOUR CHANCES WITHOUT EVEN REALISING? WE TAKE A LOOK AT FIVE SIMPLE STEPS FOR GETTING A GOOD DEAL.

56 Your Move

p41-58_p03-12 07/05/2013 16:38 Page 57

APPLYING FOR A MORTGAGE

A

re you looking to get on the property ladder but worried about whether or not you can afford a mortgage? Well, you could be in for a pleasant surprise. Mortgage rates are currently at their lowest levels for years and, in many cases, buying is currently a cheaper option than renting – if, of course, you manage to secure one of these show-stopping rates.

Here we show you how.

SAVE FOR A DEPOSIT Despite rates across the board plummeting to new lows the very best rates are reserved for those with the biggest deposit. The bigger the amount you put down, the lower your loan-to-value (LTV) and lower LTVs mean lower rates. For example, Nationwide is currently offering a three-year fix at 4.49% at 90% LTV, whereas if you had a bigger deposit, say 25%, you could take advantage of its five-year fix at just 3.39% (at 75% LTV).

Similarly, Virgin Money has a three-year fix at 4.89% at 90% LTV but with a larger deposit you could get a three-year deal at just 2.79% (at 75% LTV).

Save as much as you possibly can for your deposit and don’t overstretch yourself on the price of your house.

IMPROVE YOUR CREDIT SCORE Since the credit crunch hit back in 2007 lenders have become more risk averse than ever before. In the halcyon, pre-crash years lenders would give mortgages to just about anyone.

Indeed, our friends across the pond were the worst culprits giving out what became known as NINJA mortgages (loans to people with ‘no income, no job or assets’). Once the bubble burst and buyers, unsurprisingly, started to default on their mortgages the banks realised the error of their ways. As a result, once the dust started to settle

and they began to lend again they made a point of only lending to customers with good credit scores.

If you have a history of dodging repayments and falling into arrears then you can probably kiss goodbye to any chance of getting a mortgage, let alone a decent rate. However, it could be that your credit score is poor due to simple mistakes that can be rectified.

You can check your credit score and report by signing up to one of the two main credit reference agencies, Equifax or Experian (both of which regularly offer free trials). To improve your score make sure there are no mistakes on your report, register on the electoral roll and show you’re a borrower who can be trusted by taking out a credit card, and paying it back.

when a buyer would only take out a mortgage with the building society they saved with.

Nowadays there’s a whole range of lenders with a variety of mortgages on offer. As such, it can pay to shop around. Just because you have a bank account or keep your savings with a particular lender doesn’t mean you have to get your mortgage with them. Be sure to research the whole market before making a choice. Comparison sites can help you to compare deals between lenders.

GET ADVICE Taking out a mortgage is probably the biggest financial commitment you’ll ever make so it’s important you get it right. The best way to do that is to seek advice from a whole-of-market mortgage adviser. The financial adviser at your bank will normally only tell you about the products on offer with that lender. A whole-ofmarket adviser can research products on offer from a range of lenders in order to find the best deal available to you.

YOUR MOVE’S FIVE STEPS TO HELP SECURE A MORTGAGE

1

DEPOSIT Start to save for a deposit

2

CHECK CREDIT SCORE Improve your credit score

3

RATES It’s not all about the rates

4

SHOP Look around and compare deals

5

ADVICE Seek professional advice for the best deals

DON’T BE DAZZLED BY THE HEADLINE RATE Current rates are indeed impressive but it’s important to remember there’s more to a mortgage than just headline rates.

Often lenders charge application or product fees with their mortgages and these can be quite hefty so be sure to check all the costs relating to the mortgage before signing on the dotted line.

Furthermore, some rates are only offered for a set period.

Discount mortgages, as the name suggests, have a discounted rate for two or three years before reverting to a higher rate.

For example Principality Building Society is currently offering a three-year deal with a 1.2% discount on its standard variable rate (SVR) at 85% LTV. That means for the discount period you’ll pay 3.79% but this will then revert to 4.99% (and remember discounted rates are not fixed so will rise if the base-rate does).

Be sure to check for any discounted periods and work out if the actual rate is a good deal too.

SHOP AROUND Competition in the mortgage market is rife. Gone are the days

I moved out of my rented flat six months ago but have still not had my deposit back. The letting agent keeps coming up with excuses. What can I do to get my money back?

Q

Jenna Walmsley, L18

The first question that I would be asking the agent would be which deposit scheme is my money lodged with? There are several government approved schemes that, if you have rented a property on an Assured Shorthold Tenancy agreement that started after April 2007, agents must have registered your deposit with.

This should have been done within 30 days of the start of the tenancy and you should have received some documentary evidence of this.

Your landlord or landlord’s agent should have come to you with a proposal of any costs to be withheld and the justification for doing so by now. All deposit schemes also have a dispute resolution service, where evidence will need to be submitted and a final decision will be made on the money being distributed.

If the agent is being evasive and not providing a reasoning for your deposit not being returned, you will need to contact Citizens Advice, which will take the case further for you.

A

My boyfriend and I have lived in our rented, city centre apartment for five years now. It’s getting very tired looking. I know if we moved out the landlord would repaint it and spruce it up for new tenants but do we have any right to ask for this to happen while we’re still in it? It desperately needs some maintenance!

I’m selling my house and had accepted an offer however when the buyer had a survey conducted they said there were several problems and have asked that I accept a reduced offer in order for them to remedy them. The problem is I disagree with a lot of what the survey has found. What can I do?

S. Little, L3

Mr R Fairclough, L12

If the landlord is sensible and listens to advice from his agent, he would be wise to offer to redecorate your property and protect his investment. It would also be financially beneficial to him to keep you as a tenant and not to have any void rental periods or indeed letting costs to find a new tenant.

It’s important to remember this has been your home for five years and there is always an argument for a partnership between landlord and tenant to keep the property in excellent condition. If you had owned your own home for that period, surely, you would have had a re-decorating budget (obviously you’d need the landlords specific permission before decorating though).

If the property is in need of more serious maintenance, the landlord has a duty of care to repair and maintain these issues within a relevant timescale.

This is a problem faced by many home owners. You have to remember the surveyor is the professional and if they have cause for concern it usually means there is a problem. For peace of mind one option is for you to get your own independent survey conducted. This would give you a second opinion on the issues the buyers’ surveyor has raised. If your surveyor raises the same points you will need to reassess your situation as this will most likely appear on other surveys going forward, should you lose your current buyer. If, however, your surveyor does not state any issues or have concerns about the points raised by the first surveyor, it would be the job of your estate agent to relay this and reassure the purchasers that you have had the problems looked at and are satisfied that there is no cause for concern.

BRANCH RELAUNCH FOR JONES & CHAPMAN Jones and Chapman is set to re-launch its Allerton Road branch after a revamp.

Tim Kay

The planned overhaul is aimed at pushing Jones and Chapman in a new direction and the agent has brought in a number of new staff members to facilitate the changes.

Additions to the team include a new lettings manager and a new valuer.

Branch manager Tim Kay has been recently been drafted in from the Bromborough office and is positive about the new improvements.

Tim says: “We’re one of the

longest standing agents on Allerton road and we bring a wealth of experience. We are re-launching our brand, which already has a good market share but we have made many changes in which to reestablish our position within a very competitive market. We expect to grow our business dramatically over the next quarter.”

The changes are planned to come into effect over the next three months and a launch party is on the cards to introduce the new developments when they are complete.

David Wilson Homes launches final phase of development The final phase of David Wilson Homes’ Claremont Gardens development in Kirkdale has been launched.

Claremont Gardens

Claremont Gardens at St Johns Place, comprises a selection of two, three and four bedroom homes.

Steve Jackson, sales director at

David Wilson Homes North West, says: “Claremont Gardens has already attracted significant levels of interest from local homebuyers, thanks to its perfect blend of thoughtfully designed homes, appealing location and affordable prices.

“Having received some fantastic customer feedback and with only a limited number of properties now remaining at the current phase at Claremont Gardens, I have no doubt that this final phase of homes will also prove very popular among local residents.”

With the new governmentbacked ‘Help to Buy’ scheme the prospect of owning a first home or moving up the property ladder is dramatically improved for many purchasers as it reduces the deposit required to just 5% and

enables qualifying homebuyers to access low cost mortgage finance.

The scheme also provides new build homebuyers with the prospect of a 20% equity loan from the government, with no interest payable for the first five years.

Steve says: “The Help to Buy scheme is the biggest single development in the housing market for the last five years and is already leading to surging numbers of local enquiries.

“I’d therefore encourage anyone who is interested in securing one of these homes for themselves to get in touch with our sales team now to discuss what we can offer.”

Help for buyers at Keepmoat event Help will be at hand for homebuyers as Keepmoat hosts a weekend of drop-in advice surgeries.

From 11am until 4pm on 11 and 12 May, the housing developer will offer guidance on the latest government finance options including the Help to Buy scheme, as well as advice on stretching budgets.

First time buyers and those with a foot already on the property ladder are invited to attend the sessions at Keepmoat’s local developments.

Jen Brown, sales director at Keepmoat, says: “There are many thousands of people in the region who have almost given up on the dream of home

ownership, due to difficulties in getting a mortgage – but the picture is actually now brighter than some might think.

“We hope that our advice surgeries will provide food for thought for prospective purchasers, and provide fresh hope to those who had resigned themselves to a lifetime of renting.”

Footballers open new parents’ flat at Zoe's Place Venmore recently organised a complete overhaul of a flat at Zoe's Place Baby Hospice, which is to be used by parents of the seriously ill children who are staying there.

The makeover included brand new furniture, murals, new

plastering, rewiring and knocking down walls to accommodate the facility.

This year, the estate agents pledged to donate 10 hours of labour for each of their 100 staff in order to benefit their chosen charities; one of which is Zoe's Place on Yew Tree Lane.

Robbie Fowler and Séamus Coleman share the bed with Carson Hartley, who is three and a regular visitor to Zoe's Place

After being asked to 'freshen up' the space, staff at Venmore decided they could do more and embarked upon the large-scale project with the help and support of local businesses.

Flo Bergquist, head of care at Zoe's Place Baby Hospice, says: “The new parents’ flat is amazing.

It will provide a comfortable and tranquil place for the families to stay over, safe in the knowledge that their child is nearby being looked after by nursing staff.”

The £20,000 project received funding from Jaguar Land Rover, furniture from Elaine Cunningham Interiors and other donations and services from Ryall Design, Philpots Exchange Flags,

Julie's Cakes, DHL, Kirkby Skips and Dulux in Huyton.

Maria Barrigan, business development manager at Venmore, says: “Working on the project and meeting the children has been an inspiration. It is such an amazing cause and we can't thank everyone who has been involved enough.”

Elaine Cunningham, director of Elaine Cunningham Interiors, says: “We were happy to be able to supply soft furnishings and accessories for the Zoe's Place parents’ flat in order to transform it into a modern and comfortable environment for the families. We are pleased to be able to contribute to such an amazing cause.”

The hospice cares for children aged 0-6 who are suffering from life threatening or limiting conditions and it requires funds of £1m per year to stay operational.

Everton FC’s Seamus Coleman and ex-Liverpool FC player Robbie Fowler officially opened the newly refurbished flat.

Tyrer & Hart expands to meet demand

Investor Hub success for Entwistle Green Entwistle Green’s recently launched Liverpool Investor Hub is already proving a success, as the agency has been instructed on three major new schemes.

Heather Tyrer and Antonia Hart-Williams

Despite only setting up the business last year, the quick rise to success for Tyrer and Hart Property Specialists has already prompted an expansion.

The company, founded by Heather Tyrer and Antonia Hart-Williams, was originally based on Townsend Lane in Anfield but now the duo have relocated to a larger site on Seymour Terrace in the city centre.

The move also provided Heather and Antonia with room for more staff, and they have increased their workforce to four people.

The expansion comes after the business was highly commended in the Newcomer of the Year category at the national Negotiator Magazine awards in London at the end of last year.

Antonia says: “We are delighted that we have already been recognised nationally for our work and are pleased to report that the business is growing, despite the current economic climate. We see ourselves as a very ethical agency and are looking forward to helping more people across Merseyside with their accommodation and being able to help in the regeneration of a number of areas.”

BIGGEST BRAZILICA YET This year’s Brazilica festival is set to be bigger than ever as a week-long celebration of Brazilian culture is being lined up for Liverpool

Organisers Liverpool Carnival Company and Orb Events have confirmed that samba fever will spread through the city from 12 July, culminating in the usual colourful carnival and parade day on 20 July.

The annual Carnival Ball and Carnival Queen

Competition will take place, along with Brazilian film screenings, carnival art exhibitions and the city’s first capoeira competition as various venues host events throughout the week.

Then on carnival day itself the city centre will be awash with Latin American food and drink, Brazilian music, dance and the Soccer Zone, featuring a celebrity five-aside football match, before samba groups and bands from around the world take part in the parade.

Maeve Morris, artistic director of Liverpool Carnival Company, says: “It’s so exciting to watch Brazilica grow year on year, both in terms of audience and the range of art forms and events on offer. From its beginnings as a carnival parade in 2008 to the fully-fledged festival it is today, we’re very proud of what we’ve achieved and hope to continue to bring the party to Liverpool for many years to come.”

Central Library re-opens Liverpool’s Central Library is set to wow visitors on the inside and out when it reopens in mid-May following a £50million restoration and redevelopment project.

The landmark building will be lit up with interactive animations on 16-17 May, to celebrate the event in spectacular style.

It will be transformed into a giant bookcase, and a carousel containing the books projected on the walls will be found outside the library, with selected members of the public being

invited to turn the carousel in order to choose a book – and whatever they pick will magically appear on the façade.

Inside the library, which opens on 17 May, new features will include a cafe, double the number of public access computers as well as iPads and a gaming pod, a rooftop terrace overlooking St John’s Gardens, a performance stage and a children’s ‘Discover’ library.

Plus a granite literary pavement with the titles of famous publically-chosen literary and cinematic works will create a feeling of grandeur at the main entrance.

Three sure-fire ways to add value to your home INCLUDE HOME OFFICE SPACE With more and more people working from home these days a house with a home office is sure to sell well. If you don’t have the space for one inside the home consider renovating your garden shed.

UPGRADE YOUR KITCHEN For many people the kitchen is the most important room in the house so it’s a good idea to get it looking its best.

Improving your kitchen – to a high standard – is a good way to add value to your home. But beware, shoddy makeovers using

cheap fittings is more likely to do harm than good so only do it if you can afford to do it properly.

INCREASE YOUR LIVING SPACE One of the most obvious ways to increase the value of your home is to make it bigger. Loft and garage conversions are great ways to turn a three-bed into a four-bed or transform a mediocre kitchen into a huge open plan masterpiece.

Liverpool-based construction firm Prism specialises in loft and garage conversions and will help you to create your dream design with the help of a qualified architect.

Since the early Nineties Rankin has established himself as a leading publisher and internationally successful photographer. As well as cofounding cult magazine Dazed and Confused, everyone from A-List celebrities to supermodels, politicians and even the Queen have stepped in front of his lens. Despite achieving so much already he continues to challenge himself and break new ground with his work. We caught up with him as his latest project, ALIVE: In The Face of Death gets set to open in Liverpool.

RANKIN INTERVIEW BY NATASHA YOUNG ow did the idea for ALIVE: In The Face of Death come about? My parents passed away nearly seven years ago. After it happened I couldn’t work out why I wasn’t able to deal with it well. Then I was approached by the BBC about doing a project and they said ‘is there anything you’ve wanted to do and haven’t had chance?’. I talked about this idea of a project featuring people who are terminally ill and they said we should present it to a gallery in the north, the Walker, so that’s where it started. I’m really a commercial photographer and I’ve done documentaries that have shown my ideas but I’ve never done anything quite as unique as this.

How has working on the project impacted on your views of death?

I hadn’t thought I was scared of it before. In the first stage I was thinking ‘wow I’m really nervous about this’ and I then I started meeting with people and realising I wasn’t quite prepared to deal with it. The whole process of thinking about how I felt about each of the people and having to take their photographs and what I wanted the show to be called, it sounds very stupid now

H

76 Your Move

I’ve done it but it was all quite self indulgent and ‘woe is me’. I knew I had to try and be positive about it because death is very depressing, not just for people coming to the show, but for me and the people I was shooting. When you meet terminally ill people you don’t want them to die. Just getting your head around that, you want to put a positive spin on it.

So you focused on them being alive?

Yes exactly. Also I haven’t met anyone with a terminal illness that doesn’t have a wonder of life. They have an appreciation far beyond that of people who aren’t ill. There’s a real optimism because you think stop worrying about stupid little things in life and think about more important things and try and be positive. Once I got through what I call the self indulgence part, that thought process of being scared of it and thinking my life is more important than other peoples’ lives, there was a total humility to it and I felt worthy of meeting people to start shooting them and I was totally prepared to talk to them.

Liverpool’s Walker Art Gallery is the chosen venue. Are you looking forward to displaying it here and what are your experiences of working in the city?

I did Rankin Live in the Walker over three years ago and I had a great experience, and I’ve been doing a few things there for this and it’s been really great, but I wanted to make [the project] national, not just about Liverpool, so we’ve been trying to get as

many different people from different areas as we can. The people I’ve been working want to confront [the subject of death] and talk about it and I’m sure there are a lot of people who’ve got a terminal illness that don’t want to do that, so it’s definitely a show for a certain group of people. It has been a taboo subject for a long time in Britain and actually talking about it is really helping.

You’re known for your portrait work with famous people. Who has been your favourite and who would you still like to photograph? I’ve photographed so many brilliant people across celebrity and this project. With someone like Heidi Klum, people are quite critical about her but she’s got such a fantastic energy and she’s very genuine so I like working with her but I’d say 90% of the people I work with are really good. As for who I’d like to work with, I’ve never been one of those photographers that just chases people but someone like Johnny Depp I’d love to shoot or Sean Penn, because they’re so important to my era and they’re both very talented. I started a list the other day of people I’d like to work with and I didn’t get very far, but I want to photograph more people that are possibly not famous but important to society.

Has ALIVE: In The Face of Death made you think more about people who aren’t famous? Definitely. The people I’ve photographed have been really inspiring.

p75-88_p03-12 07/05/2013 15:14 Page 77

TALENT

It’s made me think there’s more to life than fashion and celebrity. I love that job it’s fantastic, it’s like a hobby that I’ve been lucky enough to get paid to do, but I want to go deeper in terms of who I photograph and what I photograph. I love Britain and I love being in Britain so maybe there’s a bigger British project that is coming along.

How do you get a picture of a celebrity that shows them differently to how people have seen them before?

I just treat them like normal people. I think when people become famous they can be treated in quite a different way.

People put them on pedestals and that’s really unhealthy. My parents always taught me to treat everyone equally.

You’ve had a varied career with publications and documentaries as well as photography. Do you still have any ambitions? I love filmmaking and that’s something I’m definitely attracted to. I want to do a feature film but it’s just an idea at the moment. I’ve done one in the past but I wasn’t really ready to do one. Now I’m ready.

ALIVE: In The Face of Death will be at the Walker Art Gallery from 17 May to 15 September.

Rankin Facts

“The people I’ve photographed have been really inspiring. It’s made me think there’s more to life than fashion and celebrity.”

In 2009 he started the interactive project Rankin Live, which has since gone global.

Authentic Tapas

There’s no need to step on a plane to sample mouth-watering Mediterranean delights. If you’ve got a taste for tapas then our pick of authentic eateries around the region is sure to whisk you away to a Spanish paradise, but unfortunately we can’t guarantee the sunshine.

FOOD / DRINK

TAPAS TAPAS South Road, Waterloo

Tapas Tapas oozes authenticity, mixing ingredients from Barcelona, Córdoba, Jaén and León with locally sourced fresh produce.

A broad menu of tapas dishes is on offer, along with cured meats, cheeses, paellas and deserts all to be enjoyed within a setting that wouldn’t be out of place in sunny Spain.

LUNYA Liverpool ONE

This Catalan fusion deli and restaurant is perfectly positioned for shoppers who’ve worked up an appetite, or as the destination for a night out. Following the motto ‘passion on a plate’, Lunya prides itself on cooking with the best ingredients from Spain where possible and has authentic delicacies on offer for any time of the day. Vegan and children’s menus are available.

NEON JAMON Smithdown Place, Liverpool

This recently opened out-of-town restaurant is already making a big impression as it serves a range of Spanish cuisine from breakfast time until late, within relaxed, trendy surroundings. The drinks menu is just as extensive and authentic as the food offering, with Spanish brandies, wines, sherry and cava.

Olive Bar & Restaurant 27 Castle Street, L2 4TA Olive could be considered something of a hidden gem in Liverpool. Situated on Castle Street, from the outside it is relatively small and unassuming.

Inside however it is much bigger than you might imagine and manages to be both contemporary and cosy with a spacious, simple dining area complimented by rustic touches.

As a regular visitor to the restaurant I know one thing it excels in is customer service and sure enough as soon as we descend the staircase into the bar area a member of staff is on hand to help.

Having seated us in a cosy alcove towards the back of the restaurant and taken our drinks order we tackle the challenge of ordering from the extensive menu.

The wide selection features a good choice of starters - I’m particularly tempted by the salad of home smoked duck with apples, walnuts and gorgonzola – and fans of Italian favourites are well catered for.

REVIEW BY CHRISTINE TONER

However, while the staple pasta and pizza dishes sound delicious – including the penne with Tuscan ham, cream, peas and grand padano - the real gems are to be found in the mains section of the menu.

The mouth-watering selection - ranging in price from £7.95 to £17.95 - includes pork cutlet saltimbocca with Tuscan ham and sage, served with rosemary potatoes and Italian lamb stew with butter fried gnocchi.

There’s also a fantastic selection of fish dishes featuring the likes of pan-fried sea trout with roasted vegetable caponata and sea bream with a warm courgette and pine nut salad and roasted tomato dressing.

After much indecision I opt for the roasted hake wrapped in prosciutto with slow cooked potatoes, lentils, spinach and tomatoes while my dinner date decides on the duck breast with braised red cabbage, hazelnuts and a spiced plum and red wine sauce

– with a side of fries for good measure.

Our dishes arrive piping hot and impeccably presented.

The lentil and potato medley that accompanies my fish is tasty, enough to be a meal in its own right, filling without being stodgy and rich in flavour. The fish is flakey and delicious, while the prosciutto gives it a nice twist.

My partner’s duck is cooked exactly to his liking and the hazelnuts and sauce make the red cabbage “absolutely delicious” – coming from someone who normally turns his nose up at cabbage this is quite a compliment.

Had we been able to fit in a dessert there is a delicious selection to choose from including plum and blueberry mess, orange sorbet and classic tiramisu. Alas, we were forced to admit defeat following our generously sized mains and decided to call it a night – making a mental note to come back for dessert another day.

Tudor-themed fun at May Day Festival

A

fun-filled Tudor encampment was set up in the picturesque grounds of the National Trust’s Speke Hall as a two-day May Day Festival took place.

Flags were flying high in a field of tents and tepees where visitors of all ages enjoyed having a go at traditional Tudor activities during the free bank holiday event, with everything from archery and quill writing to coin striking and candle making workshops going on.

Tudor themed goodies were also on sale across a range of authentic stalls, and visitors also soaked up the atmosphere with the help of food, music and Morris dancing performances in the sunshine.

Meanwhile performers looked the part as they staged lifestyle interpretations from Tudor times during the festivities.
