Hello, I am your dedicated Lettings Manager here at Mann Island. My office is located on site and so I am able to offer a consistently high quality service to both potential and existing tenants.

I personally follow the whole tenancy process through from the initial viewing to check out.

As a consequence a personal bond is created which we are very proud of. You know that we always have a presence on site to deal with any queries you may have – we simply cannot hide from problems!

Mann Island really is an iconic place to live with iconic customer service and something we are really proud of.

I would love to have the opportunity to show off what we have to offer for you. Simply make one appointment and I can show you any of the apartments we have available at Mann Island.

EDITOR’S LETTER...

Welcome to another fantastic edition of Your Move. In this issue we show you how to make the most of the buy-to-let boom and become a super landlord (p42). We hit the shops to bring you the very best in retail therapy (p73) and we’ve got all the best photos from the glamorous launch night of The Richmond (p67).

Plus it’s been an exciting week for the Your Move team as boxing champion Kevin Satchell popped into the office to show off his belts and tell us how he’s preparing for his huge arena fight next month. Find out what he has to say on page 64.

w o H TO BE an AMAZING LANDLORD!

L Christine Toner

THE DO’S AND DON’TS OF BUY-TO-LET The buy-to-let market is booming once again. After a tough time, which saw some of the biggest names in the sector shut up shop, buy-to-let is bouncing back. The government’s Funding for Lending scheme is having a positive impact for buy-to-let lenders and the huge activity in the rental sector means the opportunities for landlords are plentiful. But while buy-to-let can prove to be a successful income stream for many, for those who get it wrong it can be a costly business. To make sure you don’t end up regretting your foray into the buy-to-let world we’ve put together a set of golden rules – the Your Move dos and

THE GOOD

O D

Get landlord insurance...

Standard home insurance policies are not enough when it comes to buy-to-let properties; you need to take out landlords insurance. Landlord insurance will cover you for damage to the building or contents as well as a range of other expenses such as any legal expenses incurred as a result of letting the property. A good policy will also cover you for loss of rent (it's also possible to take out specific rent guarantee insurance). This is essential for any period when landlords may find themselves struggling to let a vacant property.

...Furnish your flat Furnished properties are usually easier to let than unfurnished ones. Most renters do not come with much furniture (with many waiting until they own their own home before splashing out on bulky goods such as beds, couches and wardrobes).

What's more, according to Prime Location.com landlords who let furnished properties can obtain 5-10% more rent than those who let unfurnished properties. You'll also be privy to certain tax allowances that can be claimed if you furnish your buy-to-let property such as a 10% wear and tear allowance.

Buy-to-let properties can prove to be good investments in the long run – but not if they cost you a fortune in the short-term. It’s important to make sure the figures all add up.

Make sure the property you buy can be let for an amount sufficient enough to cover your mortgage repayments. Check how much other properties in the area are let for and consider who you want to let the property to and how much they are likely to pay for it.

Work out the rental yield of a property – which is the percentage income return you get from the property. Rental yields vary widely depending on location and house prices however between 5% and 7% is considered good.

’

T S N O D Let your taste influence your decisions...

You may think floral patterns and wicker furniture is the way forward but your potential tenants may not. It’s important to think neutrally when decorating your buy-to-let property. Just like when selling a home, your tastes need to be put aside in favour of that of the people who will be living in the property. This applies not just when furnishing a property but when choosing the property too.

...Cut corners with regulation The Private Rented Sector (PRS) is currently unregulated – although there are persistent calls for that to change. However, good landlords will voluntarily regulate themselves by joining the National Landlord Association (NLA) or, if they are going to employ a letting agent to manage their property, choosing an agent that is a member of a body such as the Association of Residential Letting Agents (ARLA).

Landlords should also be careful to abide by all necessary safety regulations, a list of which can be found at www.gov.uk.

...Think short-term

...do the maths

THE BAD

Buying a buy-to-let property is a good long-term investment. If you're after a quick fix for your finances then it's not for you.

Buy-to-let allows you to purchase a property and let it to tenants whose rent will cover the mortgage repayments. Once the mortgage is paid off you have the choice of keeping the property and using the rent payments as an income for yourself or selling it on and keeping the cash. However, in the short-term you're unlikely to see any benefit, as the rent will simply be paying off the loan. If you're after short-term gain and you try to put the rent up to make a profit you're likely to find your property is very difficult to let.

I have just bought a house and want to make some renovations, including knocking down a wall between the kitchen and lounge. Do I need to get any planning permission for this and can you tell me how much a job like this would cost? I’d also like to extend it with a conservatory, however the property is in a conservation area – will that be a problem?

My husband and I have had our offer accepted to buy a house and we’ve instructed our solicitor. I know until contracts are signed there is still a chance the seller could pull out and our mortgage broker has encouraged us to push the solicitor to move quickly, but how do we do this? And is there anything we can do to speed up the process?

Mr R Broadhurst, Grassendale

Under the English legal system an agreement to sell and purchase a property is not legally binding until contracts are exchanged. The sooner the transaction reaches this point, the sooner both vendor and purchaser have peace of mind.

It’s advisable to get your survey done as promptly as possible. Not only is that an indication of commitment to the vendor, but once the sale has been agreed after survey, it is at this point a property is normally marked as ‘sold subject to contract’ meaning less chance of other potential buyers viewing the property.

Respond to all requests from your solicitor and mortgage lender promptly. It is your property solicitor who is responsible for the routine conveyancing process, so keep in touch with them regularly to monitor progress.

In essence, how quickly each party responds will determine how quickly contracts are exchanged and your purchase is legally binding.

Q

Firstly, you do not need planning permission to remove an internal wall. It is essential that you determine whether the wall is a load bearing wall and a reputable builder can help with this.

If the wall is load bearing Building Regulations Approval will be required because support will be required for the floor above. The cost to remove a wall and make good the area would range between £1,000 and £2,000.

Normally there is no problem building a conservatory in a conservation area but it would be best to speak with the conservation officer at your local council who would advise you. If you do build the conservatory you would need Building Regulations Approval.

A

Q

As a new landlord I’m currently preparing my first properties to let, and I only have a tight budget and time scale to furnish them.

What will I need to provide to furnish my properties to a decent standard, and what is the quickest and easiest way to furnish a number of properties?

Q

Aaron Crawford, Aintree Mrs J. Manning, L12

A

I would always suggest buying fairly neutral matching furniture in either white or light wood colours. This tends to suit most tastes and it means if your tenants bring some home furnishing items with them it should all co-ordinate reasonably well.

You will need to buy the basics such as a bed for each room, some storage items, seating for any living room areas and either blinds or curtains. Blinds are sometimes best as if you buy them off the shelf they work out much cheaper than fitting curtain poles and curtains.

You will need to fit the kitchen out with some of the basics needed such as cooking utensils, cutlery and crockery.

The most convenient way of purchasing everything you need if you are buying from IKEA is the ‘Pick and Deliver’ service we offer. We will collect all your items for you and have it all delivered to the property for a small charge.

KARL TATLER RETAINS TOP TITLE Wirral based Karl Tatler Estate Agents & Lettings has retained its crown of Best Small Northern Lettings Agency for the second year running.

Karl Tatler Lettings won Gold for Best Small Northern Lettings Agency 2013. The company was competing against nearly 5,000 offices at the national awards ceremony in London.

In an industry where anyone can operate as a lettings agent without any training or qualifications, these awards highlight companies who can not only be trusted, but who are also top performers.”

The star picked out the company’s heatSava single room heat recovery unit and showcased it as one of his Top 10 Green Heroes at the recent Grand Designs Live Exhibition in London.

According to EnviroVent, the unit works by extracting stale, moist air from the wet room areas of the home.

A spokesperson says: “The stale, moist air passes over a high efficiency tubular heat exchange cell which has been cleverly designed to allow the air to cyclone around the barrel, just like a corkscrew, retaining the heat from the extracted air before it reaches atmosphere.

“At the same time, fresh air from outside is supplied through the tubes where it collects up to 75% of the heat from the extracted air before it is returned back into the room.”

The company is set to showcase more of its products and services, as well as advice and offers, on 3 October, when it hosts a stand at this year’s Merseyside Landlord and Property Show.

He says: “I think there’s a lot of outside money coming into Liverpool and it’s brought more business, not just for me but for others in the industry. It just shows that if you stick with it, there is work out there.”

David explains that since last October, the growing HMO market has also allowed Thomas Christian Estates Ltd to grow, as the family-run West Derby firm has gradually welcomed six new employees to the team.

Now with a larger workforce of eight people, the company recently completed a project of four HMO renovations for a single developer both under budget and on time, and David is looking to continue building on that success.

He adds: “There’s a really good vibe out there at the moment, and it’s good for us and good for the city.”

ig congratulations go to Kevin Williams, senior sales negotiator at Whitegates West Derby and Marcus Dobson, a sales negotiator at City Residential who got married recently.

The couple tied the knot at Leasowe Castle on the Wirral before jetting off to a Barbados honeymoon.

Dane Group, is among a national network of Help to Buy agents working to let prospective buyers know they are there to help them through the initiative.

Help to Buy – Equity Loan enables working people to purchase a new build property up to the value of £600,000 with a 20% equity loan from the government, which is interestfree for five years.

HomesHub has been appointed by the government to assist buyers from start to finish, coordinating with the house builder, mortgage lender and solicitors. It also checks buyers are eligible, creditworthy, and demonstrate they can afford the mortgage and loan

repayments. The scheme is not available for landlords investing in buy-to-let properties, or second home buyers.

Sandy Kelly, head of HomesHub, says: “Everyone has been talking about Help to Buy recently and we have seen a huge increase in applications in the last few months. The equity loan scheme is no longer just for first time buyers and some of the other criteria have been relaxed so it now provides assistance to a much wider group of buyers who want to buy a brand new home with just a 5% deposit.”

BUSINESS BUOYANT FOR ADMIRAL Admiral Carpets has been reaching out to customers in wider areas over the past six months, thanks to its second store in the city.

At the end of 2012 the Liverpool business opened another branch in a former golf shop on Queens Drive, close to the Rocket flyover, in a bid to build on the success of its south Liverpool shop which has been trading for more than 24 years.

Now just over six months on Colin Mannix, director of Admiral Carpets,

says: “Business has been buoyant and we’re finding we’re reaching people in wider areas that we hadn’t reached before.”

The second shop has attracted both new and existing customers from south Liverpool, as its additional space is also said to have allowed Admiral Carpets to increase the amount roll stock it puts on display in-store.

Colin adds: “We’re now looking forward to the next six months and the lead up to Christmas, with that momentum continuing.”

n afternoon of fun in the sun raised a total of £3,000 for two worthy charities.

Both Bipolar UK and The National Autism Society benefited from the special fundraising barbecue in West Derby, hosted by Mark and Paula Satchell.

Plenty of visitors stopped by to soak up the summer weather while doing their bit for the two causes, as they enjoyed a variety of rides and family attractions as well as food and refreshments.

There were also prizes to be won during the garden festivities, which were sponsored by Paul Crowley & Co Solicitors, as a raffle and a ‘name the bear’ competition were held to boost the fund on the day.

What does your job entail?

I oversee my managers and their teams at Abode Crosby and Abode Allerton. We have about 30 members of staff.

JOB

HOUSE

Apart from Saturday jobs as a teen my first job was working in the famous city centre Ma Boyle’s Oyster Bar.

My husband and I bought our first home together in Aintree and it was a three-bed new-build semi which became too small when our second daughter came along.

HOLIDAY Butlins in Pwllheli. When I was a kid my mum was in a ladies darts team and we all went together, no dads allowed.

What’s your favourite thing about your job?

Although I’m not always on the shop floor dealing with the customers face to face, handing over a set of keys to a new owner and seeing how excited they are is always going to be the best part of the job for any estate agent I would imagine.

NATALIE O’DONOHUE SENIOR RESIDENTIAL CONVEYANCER, MSB SOLICITORS

When a sales chain falls through for unforeseen circumstances and there is nothing that can be done to save it. It is so disappointing for sellers and buyers likewise.

If you weren’t an agent what would you be?

I really don’t know – I’ve only ever been an estate agent and I’m a little bit married to the job so I really couldn’t imagine doing anything else. Although I will admit to loving a good go on the karaoke so perhaps I would’ve tried out for The X Factor!

What are you going to do straight after this interview?

I will be ringing my branch managers to see how many houses we have sold this week – knowing my team, I will be expecting it to be a good amount.

FORTNIGHT IN NUMBERS...

Gross mortgage lending grew by this much in April, new data from the Council of Mortgage Lenders has shown. Remortgage lending had increased since March while house purchase lending had edged down.

Flooring: How to choose the right flooring and maintain it CHOOSE THE RIGHT FLOORING New flooring can refresh an interior, but the style and material must be right for the room and its use. Carpets can add warmth to bedrooms and family rooms, and vary in fibres which make them more hardwearing or stain resistant. Laminate flooring is durable, versatile and east to clean; and real wood flooring is a long-lasting investment.

THE PERFECT FIT Carpets and flooring can be fitted as a DIY job, although it’s important to invest in specialist tools such as a carpet knife to avoid damaging the material. Alternatively, hiring an expert can

be a safer option to ensure flooring is well laid with less risk of snagging and damage.

MAINTAIN THE FLOORING Get the best out of your carpets and flooring by ensuring they are kept clean and looking good as new. A professional carpet cleaning company, such as Hydro Dry, will use the correct cleaning products and systems to leave your carpet free of dust and allergens.

SATCH LIVERPOOL-BORN KEVIN SATCHELL IS BOXING HIS WAY TO THE TOP WITH THE CITY’S SUPPORT. WE CAUGHT UP WITH HIM TO TALK ABOUT HIS UPCOMING FIGHTS, DEFENDING HIS TITLE AS BRITISH FLYWEIGHT CHAMPION AND WHAT LIFE IS LIKE AS A PROFESSIONAL INSIDE THE RING.

How did you get into boxing? I was about 12 and the oldest of six, and we grew up on a bit of a rough estate. There were lots of fights everywhere which I didn’t like so I decided to get into boxing to learn how to defend myself.

Some proper fights were organised and, after my first, I knew I loved boxing so I just stuck at it and eventually turned professional. I’ve been fighting for about eight or nine years and have been a professional for about three years now.

Is there a lot of travelling involved with your career? I haven’t had to travel very far for fights; I’ve been quite lucky and only had a couple outside of Liverpool. But Paul Crowley & Co is sponsoring me to go over to Belfast in the middle of June to do a bit of training for a week. It’s ok though with my son; he’s really into boxing as well so he understands when I’m away travelling and he doesn’t see me.

How did your sponsorship by Paul Crowley & Co. Solicitors come about?

They had been getting my kit and helping me out for a while. When I got given the fight against [former bantamweight champion] Martin Power last year, with just three days notice, I jumped at it. It was such a big fight so it got straight onto

TV, which Paul Crowley saw.

After that they decided that because I was fighting for titles I needed to focus on boxing full-time so they started sponsoring me properly. I’m really grateful to them; the sponsorship has been a terrific help, and with the money.

Do your family ever come to watch your fights? All of them, everyone outside of the family, and my little boy come to watch. They’re a big support.

They get loads of people together and wear t-shirts.

You’ve got a big fight against Iain Butcher on 6 July. Are you nervous you might lose your British flyweight title? No, I don’t really get nervous on most fights. I don’t think I’ve been nervous on any of my professional fights yet. I know my training has been perfect, I know I’ve done everything and put the work in so this gives the confidence that I’ll go in and win and that I’ll be able to come out with the belts. Knowing I’ve done everything right I don’t really get nervous much.

The fight will be held in Liverpool’s Echo Arena. Do you feel more confident boxing in your home city?

Yeah. It’s a lot easier for people to get to when the fights are local, and we’re able to sell tickets. It’s good to fight in my own back garden as I’ve got lots of supporters and I know everyone can come out to watch me; the city’s got the best support around. I’m so thankful for all of my fans.

How do you prepare yourself before a fight? I train Monday to Friday, go

out two hours every morning, and I run every single day in camp for 70 days. On the weekends I’ll go out and do nine miles up and down. I put loads of roadwork into it and make sure I’ve done everything with my fitness and diet. I stick to a strict diet to keep to the weight I need to be. Once I’ve done all of that I’m ready.

The fight will be providing chief support to the David Price vs. Tony Thompson rematch. Will you be watching their fight? I think I’m on just before it. If it works out the way it usually does I should be out in enough time to watch them. It should be very good. Price always puts on a good show, so it’s an exciting bill to see.

When you’re not training or preparing for a fight what do you do in your free time? I spend a lot of time with my little lad if I can, taking him to the parks or into town. If I’m not with him I’ll go to the pictures or I’ll play some pool, stuff like that: anything other than boxing just to keep it out of my head. It can be nice to switch off from boxing and just have a social life.

Do you have any future plans or further aspirations? Not really outside of boxing. All I think of these days is boxing and where I want to be.

Hopefully I will be a world champion one day. That’s my main goal in life.

• Kevin will defend his title against Iain Butcher on Saturday 6 July at the Echo Arena.

FOOD

DRINK

Best for...

A PIT-STOP In need of a quick coffee but don’t want to face the queues and crowds in Starbucks and Costa? We’ve located some great independent coffee stores, which are perfect for a fiveminute breather with a good warm drink and maybe a cake too!.

COFFEE CONNOISSEURS Bold Street Coffee, Bold Street Since it opened in 2010, the coffee shop has been awarded the title of ‘Liverpool’s Favourite Independent Coffee Shop’ at the Food & Drink Awards, and it’s no surprise really. With its friendly service and speciality coffee it is sure to bring the smile back to your face. This is one coffee shop that knows everything there is to know about coffee.

HOME COMFORTS Rococo, Lord Street Easy to miss from the outside as it is tucked away above a mobile phone store, this coffee house offers a chic and cosy atmosphere, with a variety of homemade cakes on offer too. All the coffee is Fairtrade and with low price take away drinks you can grab a coffee on the go if you’re in a hurry.

BYTE TO EAT A & Js, South Hunter Street This independent cafe and self confessed ‘geek haven’ is sure to provide an escape from reality, serving up all things cyber. As well as WiFi, visitors can enjoy free play on video game consoles as well as a host of gaming events. For those who’d prefer to kick back with a coffee or fill up on food, comics are also on sale to keep customers entertained.

THE LIVING ROOM 15 Victoria Street, L2 5QS The Living Room has long been a night-time favourite amongst Liverpool’s movers and shakers. Known for its swanky cocktails and plush decor it’s certainly prominent on the city’s nightlife landscape but is perhaps over-looked when it comes to eateries. While most people are aware that the venue serves food, it’s culinary offering is not usually put in the same category as some of the city’s restaurants. With the launch of its new menu though that all seems set to change.

It’s a warm day in Liverpool when my dinner date and I visit The Living Room, one of those days when the thought of eating anything stodgy is decidedly unappealing.

We couldn’t be happier then when our waiter explains the restaurant has introduced a new section on its revamped menu entitled ‘grazers’.

Diners can choose one dish from the varied selection as a starter or choose several to enjoy a ‘tapas’ style feast with

REVIEW BY CHRISTINE TONER

their dining companions.

My date and I opt for the latter and choose to share the buttermilk fried chicken, with a ginger and chilli dressing, the Vietnamese fresh summer rolls, served with a peanut dipping sauce and the Thai fish cakes with marinated cucumber and a light chilli syrup. Just to be on the safe side we order some piri-piri chips from the ‘accessories’ section too.

The chicken, which comes in a quirky takeaway-style box, is coated in a light and delicious batter and, for fried chicken, is remarkably healthy tasting. The flavoursome fishcakes are incredibly moreish while the marinated cucumber accompanies them perfectly. I was slightly disappointed in the Vietnamese rolls but mainly because I had mistakenly expected deep fried spring rolls when in fact this dish, served cold, is a healthier alternative, with fresh vegetables wrapped in rice paper.

The chips were a tasty

addition to the meal although not really necessary as the portions of the ‘grazers’ were very generous.

Had we decided to opt for a main meal there is a wide variety to choose from including fried duck egg with asparagus, potato rosti, sauce ceps and Quickes ewe cheese and pan fried sea bass with orange scented broccoli.

Alternatively we could have ordered one of the restaurant’s new ‘wow factor’ sharing plates.

Indeed, we were tempted by the ‘pork block’ sharer, which includes roast pancetta, pulled pork croquettes and sticky ribs but felt that may have been a bit excessive for two people!

As you might expect the venue has a pretty impressive drinks menu, as well as some delicious desserts. Indeed, its new menu has gone all out to cater for every kind of dining experience from a quick bite to a special occasion. I’ll certainly be returning to sample some more of its seasonal delights.

The warm evening sun attracted huge crowds Alison, Steph, Julie & Elaine

housands flocked to Liverpool’s waterfront for a sunny weekend of free live music and entertainment, marking the end of the On The Waterfront festival.

Across two evenings the Pier Head played host to a medley of musical stars, ranging from homegrown acts including The Christians, Neville Skelly and Merseycats to the likes of Russell Watson, KT Tunstall and Katie Melua.

Visitors to the city’s iconic waterfront from 7-9 June were also treated to a visit from the tall ships, as well the world’s top wakeboarders in the Red Bull Harbour Reach.

The busy weekend of entertainment followed on from the previous Albert Dock 25th anniversary celebrations and Liverpool’s events for the 70th commemoration of the Battle of the Atlantic.
