EVENT

Maureen and Leah Dickman

ew estate agency, Block Management and Property Specialists launched in style earlier this month when a special event took place.

Director Rachel Dickman was joined by her family and the rest of the ‘Block’ team as she welcomed fellow members of the local business community to enjoy nibbles and drinks at the company’s Rice Lane base.

The night provided an ideal opportunity for guests to find out more about Block Management and Property Specialists and the sales, lettings and additional services it has to offer.

Reflecting on the success of the evening, Rachel says: “It was great, we couldn’t have asked for a better launch.”

I am a landlord with five properties. I have heard that under the Energy Act, if my tenants want to make any improvements to my properties, I can’t stop them. Is this really the case?

I would love to buy a new build home. I have a small deposit and, with using the Help to Buy scheme, I think I could afford to do so. However, I currently own a small terraced house that I'm in the process of selling. Am I able to use Help to Buy?

My tenants are behind on their rent. They have not paid me the full monthly amount for four months now and are constantly making excuses. I understand times are hard but this is causing me financial problems.

What can I do? I don't just want to evict them and I'd like to get back what I'm owed.

Q

S Howard, Knowsley Ensuring that your tenants pay on time starts before entering into the tenancy agreement. You should always insist on a guarantor for the whole of the tenancy. You should always insist on getting references and following up on those references for both the tenant and guarantor.

If the tenant fails to pay on time, then as well as any action against the tenant a properly drafted guarantor agreement will allow action to be taken against the guarantor.

You should take action immediately where is rent due. Unlike possession proceedings you do not have to wait for there to be over two months arrears. You need to seek immediate professional advice on collecting your debts as soon as rent is overdue.

Q

J Wall, West Derby That’s not strictly true but by 1 April 2016 a residential landlord will not be able to refuse reasonable requests from tenants to make energy efficiency improvements to the property. The tenant will, however, need landlord permission before any work starts.

As a landlord, you should be considering how to take advantage of the Energy Act now through the Green Deal and ECO. Landlords need to act now - before the regulations kick in. It will make your property more attractive to potential buyers and tenants.

Energy improvement works can be carried out free of charge. The reason being is that the energy companies have to make these improvements or face huge fines by the government.

We have a partnering agreement with npower to help them achieve their carbon reduction targets. This funding is for landlords, tenants and private homeowners to benefit from energy improvement measures that will result in lower energy bills.

Q

L Haughton, L5 Help to Buy is designed to make mortgages more readily available to a wider cross section of buyers who cannot afford a large deposit – whether they are first time buyers or not.

Some, like you, will already own a property and be looking to move up the ladder, but are perhaps struggling to afford to do so.

This scheme could be for you providing you have a deposit which represents 5% of the Help To Buy price, and providing you have already sold your existing property. Meeting the affordability requirements of both the HomeBuy agent and the lender, you will then be in a position to reserve a new property of your choice.

Bellway Homes’ new phase of houses at St Elizabeth’s Place was launched with a weekend of festival-themed fun.

Having acquired additional land at the Harris Drive development, off Hawthorne Road in Bootle, the housebuilder is now working on a further 86 properties, incorporating two and three-bedroom homes.

The firm has agreed a figure of £5,000 per calendar month on behalf of the owners of Sandhills, a stunning detached property in the exclusive Larkhill Lane area of Formby.

Carol Corran of Sutton Kersh says: “We are absolutely thrilled to have secured such a significant letting and in doing so created a little bit of history within the company.

“The rent reflects the quality of the property and the sought after nature of the location, which will provide the new tenants with a truly unique living experience.”

For the new tenants, who would prefer not to be named, Sandhills is a dream come true.

“We have been searching for some time for a rental property in

the Formby area, but nothing has come close to matching our requirements, until now,” they said.

Sandhills, designed in the style of a villa, extends to 5,000 sq ft.

TESLA SIGNS UP FOR LANDLORDS EXPO Tesla Energy Services says this year’s Merseyside Landlord & Property Show will be a fantastic opportunity to communicate the energy saving message directly to landlords, as it becomes the latest exhibitor to sign up to the event.

Tesla Energy Services is currently helping home owners, landlords and tenants throughout the UK to reduce their carbon emissions and lower fuel bills through energy saving measures such as loft, cavity and external wall insulation.

Ady Calland of Tesla, says: “The show is an ideal way for Tesla to reach the landlord audience. For example there will be a series of seminars including a question and answer session on the benefits of ECO funding.

“Research indicates that landlords are increasingly looking at value offered by the various sustainable and eco-friendly companies.

They are more aware than ever that they need to do something to protect the environment whilst maintaining their tenants’ living standards and energy efficiency.

“Tesla’s team is fully committed to promoting measures that are truly ecobeneficial, environmentally sound, and can demonstrate measurable returns in energy savings.

The aim is to develop and maintain trust and transparency for both visitors and fellow exhibitors alike given Tesla’s values of sustainable living.”

Right Choice Roofing founder Joe O’Neill is a trustee of the new North West Heritage Skills Training Academy, which 48 Your Move

“The courses will be teaching stonemason skills, roofing and slating skills to architects and school leavers,” says Mark O’Neill of Right Choice Roofing. “Joe is a trustee of the organisation and he will pass on our expertise from over 40 years in the industry. We cover all

types of roofing but we specialise in period slate roofing. For example we’ve recently completed a barn conversion in Oxton in the Wirral using slate.”

Homes selling fast at The Point Just two Ely three-bedroom detached homes remain available through the Help to Buy scheme at The Point in West Derby.

Through the initiative, buyers only need to save a deposit of 5% of the value of a new home, and the government then offers a loan of up to 20%. With a combined deposit of 25%, homebuyers are in a much better position to secure a mortgage with lower interest rates and lower monthly payments.

Morris Homes’ development, The Point, is popular with both families and first time buyers thanks to its tree-lined location next to the golf course which is within easy reach of

local shops and schools and Liverpool city centre.

Morris’ sales director, Chris Minshall, is calling on buyers to take advantage of the Help to Buy at its site, and says: “Help to Buy is a fantastic scheme which can help almost everyone to buy the new home of their dreams.”

The Ely at The Point is available at £196,750, or £157,400 with Help to Buy. Two-bedroom apartments are also available from £124,750.

For more information visit the sales office at the development on Deysbrook Lane.

new service to keep Liverpool’s empty office spaces free from squatters and vandalism has been revealed

by Ad Hoc Property Management.

Ad Hoc Commercial Services plans to install carefully vetted companies into vacant offices across the city in order to prevent theft, vandalism and squatting in offices that were previously unprotected. The company will cover all business rates to the property and ensure the building is kept in good condition while it is based there, according to Ad Hoc. The scheme will mirror that of its residential property protection service that has ran for 20 years across the city. The residential

service installs local working people to addresses to ‘house-sit’ and prevent vandalism and theft.

The new commercial service has been designed to deal with the growing amount of vacant property across Liverpool and the high costs encountered by vacant property landlords who are still subject to business rates even if they are not using the building.

Ad Hoc says it has launched the commercial service because there is a ‘steadily growing number of vacant commercial properties in Liverpool’ and the financial risk for owners can be ‘very costly’.

GUIDE TO...

There’s been an air of optimism around the housing market lately. For instance, the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors’ (RICS) latest Residential Market Survey shows signs of rising house prices fuelled by increasing numbers of prospective buyers returning to the market.

Sales are also predicted to continue increasing over the coming months so, with this in mind, we’ve put together some tips on how to make your home reach its full potential on the market.

WHICH ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT AREAS TO CONCENTRATE ON?

WHICH AREAS WILL ADD THE LEAST VALUE?

Adding more space to a property can be the most costly method but Anthony Hancock, director of Premier Building Solutions, suggests that those willing to invest in extensions or altering the layout of their home can significantly boost the value.

According to Anthony, there is a particular demand for open plan kitchen and living areas.

“People want more living space now and it’s a better way of living as they can do things like talk to their families while they’re cooking,” he says.

Focusing on the kitchen itself is also important, although you don’t necessarily need to splash out on fitting a new one. Cheaper options like replacing cupboard doors or simply having the existing ones resprayed may do the trick.

Kevin Dudley, manager of Liverpool kitchen refinish specialist Matt Finish, says: “Half the time people don’t have to take the cupboards out, it’s just their faces that need changing, and sometimes people don’t want to spend a lot of money. Re-spraying transforms the whole kitchen.”

Depending on the area you live in, adding another bedroom may just be overdeveloping your home for your potential market. Also, it may not be worth losing more valuable communal spaces or reducing the size of spacious bedrooms to create an extra one.

HOW IMPORTANT IS THE EXTERIOR OF A HOUSE? A garden can not only boost the value of a property, but some buyers will not consider a home without one. Many also want a relaxing outdoor space without the burden of maintaining it.

Products such as artificial grass can be ideal for turning paved backyards or rooftop terraces into grassed gardens and Anthony Griffin, owner of Artigrass, says: “Artificial grass is also good for areas which don’t get sunlight, and it’s maintenance free.”

Paving over the front garden of a house to provide a driveway may also be beneficial where on-street parking is pricey or difficult.

ARE THERE ANY SIMPLE REFURBISHMENTS THAT HOMEOWNERS MAY BE UNAWARE OF? Not all refurbishments have to break the bank or involve weeks of work to have a positive impact. Start with first impressions by adding a new steel number or handle to your front

door.

Elsewhere, a straightforward lick of paint can make rooms appear brighter and good as new.

Andrew Cousins, director of Tile Fire Ltd, also suggests replacing weary or damaged tiles around fireplaces can restore character, and unique tiles in bathrooms and kitchens can “look a lot more expensive than they actually are.”

If using vibrant tile designs though, opt for a more neutral style rather than a bold statement which adds too much of a personal stamp.

WHAT CAN NEGATIVELY IMPACT VALUE? Bad DIY jobs or wear and tear around the home should be rectified. If work appears to need doing then buyers may consider it to be work that they’ll need to carry out and spend money on.

Guests didn’t have to worry about wearing wellies as the event was indoors, featuring food and entertainment.

Live band Move to the Groove performed and prizes were given away in a raffle during the evening, which also featured stilt walkers and a dress-up photo booth.

Margaret Lloyd also received a special award at the event for her progress since first approaching MOWLL several years ago. She has since become a peer advocate, a teacher and founder member of the charity’s women’s group.

What are your hobbies I don’t really have time for hobbies with a full time job and a new baby.

Education: I went to Broughton Hall High School and from there I studied for my A Levels at Carmel College, St Helens. I completed the first year of my Law Degree at the University of Central Lancashire before transferring to Liverpool John Moores University to complete the same. I completed my Legal Practice Course (LPC) at The College of Law in Chester.

RACHEL DICKMAN

COMPANY DIRECTOR, BLOCK MANAGEMENT

What does your job entail?

Overseeing the smooth running of the estate agency and lettings agency.

Carrying out market appraisals for properties.

Account management and property management.

What's your favourite thing about your job?

I love the fact that I meet so many new and interesting people on a daily basis.

Enabling a smooth process for someone who's either selling or renting their property is an honour. I take pride in the fact that I make one of life's most stressful situations a much calmer and faster transaction.

What's your least favourite thing?

When I have to say goodbye to a vendor or purchaser on completion of their property after we have built up a close relationship.

If your weren't an agent what would you be doing?

If I wasn't an agent, I would still definitely be in the property industry. I love architecture so if I had the chance that would be a fantastic career as well.

What are you going to do right after this interview?

Straight after this, I get to attend some market appraisals for the company.

There's such a range of fantastic houses in the North Liverpool area so it's a pleasure to be able to carry them out.

FORTNIGHT IN NUMBERS...

ADDING MORE SPACE TO YOUR HOME If you’re in need of more living space but can’t afford to move to a bigger property, extensions and conversions can be a cheaper investment.

OPT FOR AN EXPERT Bad building work can lead to more costs and lots of hassle in the long run, so make sure you choose one of the area’s reputable building specialists with the right expertise and experience to carry out the job.

MAKING THE RIGHT CHOICE What kind of space are you looking for? If your loft is lying empty then converting it into an extra bedroom may be ideal.

Alternatively, investing in a double extension at the side which wraps around the property can provide several additional rooms.

GET PERMISSION Be sure to check whether you need building regulations and planning permission to carry out the work on your home. You can carry out this research by contacting your local council or finding information on its website.

With a career spanning more than three decades, a trio of Grammy nominations and success on both sides of the Atlantic, it’s no surprise that producer and DJ Paul Oakenfold is regarded as somewhat of a legend on the electronic music circuit.

With a new album on the horizon and a busy summer of DJ sets lined up, we caught up with him ahead of his Creamfields return next month.

p63-80_p03-12 7/16/13 12:00 PM Page 67

You’ve got a quite a history with Creamfields and Cream. What is it that makes it so special? My relationship with Cream is incredibly strong in terms of Liverpool, first and foremost, which is like my second home. I have a wonderful relationship that spans many years and it boils down to the relationship with colleagues; clubbers - there are people from all over the UK who used to come to Cream when I was there; and the locals. They have a special way about them and travelling from London every week to go to Cream really meant a lot to me. I have good friends there and there’s just something unique about Liverpool. It’s always drawn me to the city and I’m proud to be a part of what Cream has achieved.

What have you got in store for this year’s Creamfields? I’ve nearly finished my album and I’ll be playing a lot of new tracks. Within the DJ world we all send one another tracks, so I’ll be

the most unique place and at the time we did it, it was so difficult to pull off as you had to get permission from the government because of it being arguably one of the wonders of the world.

You’ve also worked with some high profile people. Who have you particularly enjoyed working with? I’ve been very lucky that people who I’ve worked with have chosen me because it’s not like I can turn around and say I want to work with Eminem - they have to come to you. When I was touring and remixing U2 and producing for Madonna, they were moments where I’d pinch myself and think I’m very lucky to get this opportunity so I’d have to say that I respect those two artists. They’re iconic in a lot of ways but I also think they’re very good people so I was very fortunate to work with them.

If you could pick anyone, who would you still like to work with? At the moment with my album, which comes out next year, I’m all about finding tomorrow’s talent today so there’s a bunch of new acts that I’m really excited to work with.

There’s Miguel, who I’ve got two songs with on my album. I’ve also got a fantastic vocalist called ZZ Ward who is a blues female from America,

supporting the tracks from my friends and it’ll be good to be back. What I enjoy about Creamfields is I don’t tend to come, play and leave as I’d rather hang out so I go and visit other stages. I’ll be walking around out the front amongst the crowds, and just taking it in. It’s a long way for me to come as I live in Los Angeles, so to fly all the way over I really want to be a part of it.

Who are you looking forward to seeing?

Prodigy are friends of mine so it’d be great to see them, I’ve never seen Knife Party so I want to check them out, and Zane Lowe is a great DJ and I like what he plays.

Where is the most interesting place you’ve ever played a DJ set? I’ve played Madison Square Garden and the Hollywood Bowl and they’re not generally where DJs play, but I’d certainly have to say the Great Wall of China was

and there’s singers called LP, Alan Stone and George Watsky.

You’re referred to as a pioneer of dance music and DJ culture. How do you stay ahead of everyone else and find inspiration? I don’t think inspiration comes from a certain place that you’re aware of, it can come from a conversation or it can just come from daily situations, like if you read something or you see something. I always try and focus on being in the moment and looking forward.

Are you pleased with the way dance music has evolved since you started out? I am because I think electronic music, or dance music as we call it, is there to share. I’m not one of those people who try to keep it underground and don’t want anyone listening to it. If a great record crosses over and becomes a pop hit then what’s wrong with

INTERVIEW BY NATASHA YOUNG

that? Also, it doesn’t bother me that now in America they’ve finally caught up to what we’ve been doing for many years. The crowd over there are really having fun with it. They’re starting to check out a lot of the older music that we’ve known for a long time. Let them learn and be part of our sound and culture, our ways and dance music.

Do you still enjoy making your own music and playing it? Yeah I really enjoy it. I was spending a lot of time in America and I moved there because I

was writing a lot of music to movies. About three years ago I was really missing DJing because I’d spent a lot of time away from it so I started a residency in Las Vegas, which is only an hour from LA. I was in the studio all week making music and then at the weekend I would fly out to play my residency. It was similar to what I did with Cream where every Saturday I was going to Liverpool from London. It was like de ja vu because like with what we were doing in Cream all those years ago I was doing exactly the same in Vegas and it was crazy, it’s such a big scene there now.

You’ve had a really diverse career, what are your highlights? The first film I scored – Swordfish with John Travolta and Halle Berry – was a really big moment for me because I didn’t have the experience. I was thrown in at the deep end and I was nervous and didn’t know if I could do it. You question yourself when you’re suddenly working on a huge project. It was a real moment where I could have sunk or swam. I thought I’ve got to do this, so I did research, went away and learnt a lot and thank God I pulled it off.

What are your plans beyond Creamfields? I’m focusing on my album and it’s been a long time coming. On my last two albums there were a lot of collaborations with a lot of different singers from a lot of different genres. It’s the same again - it’s very melodic and uplifting but what’s changed is that we now live in more of a mainstream world and electronic and dance music is now very popular.

We see that with some of my colleagues like Calvin [Harris] and David [Guetta]. Hopefully I can finish the record soon and people can listen to it.

Creamfields takes place from 23-25 August. For tickets and information visit www.creamfields.com

Best for...

You can’t beat the taste of fresh, homemade food, and thanks to top notch bakers around Liverpool it’s easy to enjoy it without spending hours in the kitchen. Whether you prefer delicious cakes or a savoury snack, we’ve picked a trio of the city’s tastiest offerings.

RISING STAR Baltic Bakehouse, Bridgewater Street This bakery and cafe is a popular feature of Liverpool’s vibrant Baltic Triangle and considers itself “the only place to get proper sourdough in the city”. With artisan breads and pastries baked to perfection each day, using traditional techniques and ingredients, the team also ventures out to farmers’ markets around the city.

CAKE CREATIONS Laura’s Little Bakery, made to order Independent baker Laura has established herself as somewhat of a cupcake queen, with her bespoke cake designs and flavours.

Made to order and also stocked in some of the city’s coffee shops, the baked delights look almost too good to eat but are sure to please anyone with a sweet tooth.

HOME COMFORTS Cuthbert’s Bakehouse, Mount Pleasant A self proclaimed “utopia” for anyone with a taste for sweetness, this quirky tearoom is filled with colourful homemade treats, and an afternoon tea menu ideal for special occasions. Mouthwatering scones, and cakes, such as Cuthbert’s popular speciality red velvet cake, can be enjoyed within the homely interior or out in the garden area.

HOME CANTEEN Beetham Plaza, 25 The Strand, Liverpool L2 0XJ REVIEW BY NATASHA YOUNG Tucked away in The Strand, Home Canteen is a hidden haven of warmth and wholesome food.

It may be set amongst Liverpool’s bustling commercial district, but the restaurant’s relaxed atmosphere is apparent on arrival.

Despite the clear glass front, darker furnishing adds cosiness to the room and during our visit, diners seemed happy to while the evening away in its pleasant surroundings.

As we perused the menu, for once I was thankful that the British summer had delivered more grey clouds and blustery winds, as true to the restaurant’s name there was a home-themed list of comfort dishes on offer that I was just in the mood for.

The Garstang blue cheese cake with pickle (£6.50) immediately caught my eye and, although it sounded potentially heavy for a starter as blue cheese can be strong, my love of cheesecake as a desert made me curious to try this

savoury version.

It turned out to be a clever take on the sweet dish, with the usual biscuit base replaced by a thin pastry. The cheese itself was also light and flavoursome but not overpowering.

My friend opted for the potted brown shrimp with nutmeg butter and toast (£6.50). She was pleased with her choice, as the delicious shrimp was served hot and there was more than enough of the crispy bread.

The mains offering was filled with familiar dishes and many had been livened up with a creative twist or new flavour, such as the mac ‘n’ cheese with jalapeno (£8.50) and the minted garden pea mayo which accompanied the fish and chips (£12.50).

I went for the pie of the week and mash (£9.50), which on this occasion was packed with tender roast beef and vegetables, and coupled with a pot of colcannon mash filled with additional green vegetables.

It was a delicious but huge plate of food and I felt like

I’d barely scratched the surface before laying my cutlery down in defeat.

My dining partner couldn’t resist a second seafood dish for her main, and decided on the salmon and haddock fish cake with Home’ slaw and chips (£12). It wasn’t quite what she had expected, as while the fish was tasty it was contained in a ball of batter rather than a lighter breadcrumb coating she was used to with a fish cake. The slaw also appeared to have been replaced with more of a tartare sauce.

The chips, however, did impress. Although a staple on many menus they’re easy to get wrong, and in this case they were golden and not too dry.

We had hoped to make it to the restaurant’s selection of sweet treats, particularly after the waiter had hailed the jam roly poly and custard (£5.50) as a star attraction, but with the hefty portions we were yet to master the art of leaving room. Maybe next time.

Leading the way at the Brazilica Zumbathon, they dressed up in colourful samba outfits and were joined by participants who also donned vibrant clothing and feathered headdresses as they helped boost funds for the Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation and the Liverpool Carnival Company.

The event, which took place for several hours in the sunshine, was part of this year’s week-long Brazilica festival – a celebration of Brazil’s music, dance, art, sport, culture, food and film which culminates in a carnival.

Dance styles at the Zumbathon encompassed South American influences, with everyone clapping and singing along.

Lots of fun was had by all ages
