EDITOR’S LETTER Welcome to a special issue of Your Move as we celebrate our 15th birthday. For a decade and a half we’ve kept a close eye on the property market’s movements, watched Liverpool transform with the rise of some of the area’s now landmark addresses, and covered the city’s most momentous occasions. We’ve also caught up with some of the biggest talent and kept your diaries up to date with cultural events.

As we delve into the archives for a trip down memory lane, we also look to the future bringing you a guide to this month’s Landlord & Property Show, and as usual we round up Liverpool’s best food, retail and events offerings.

We’d also like to congratulate Your Move reader Claire Wilde on winning our fabulous Viva Brazil competition. Don’t worry if you missed out, you can turn to What’s Happening for another great giveaway.

NEW RENT TO BUY SCHEME TO HELP TENANTS PURCHASE HOMES A new Rent to Buy scheme announced by communities secretary, Eric Pickles has been welcomed by a number of Merseyside property experts.

The £400 million government initiative will provide housing associations and other providers with low cost loans to build new rental properties, and landlords must then rent the homes at below-market rates, giving tenants the opportunity to save for a deposit while renting so they can eventually buy their home.

Louise Clifford, manager of developer Atrium, which lets and manages properties on behalf of Liverpool Housing Trust, says: “With social housing in such high demand, opportunities to rent low cost housing are scarce and by offering people more flexible alternatives such as Rent to Buy we can help people who want to move on from private rent or social housing and at the same time reduce waiting lists for those most in need.”

Eve Addison, marketing and landlord manager at X1 Lettings, adds: “The lower rental rates will provide the perfect opportunity to begin to climb the property ladder with the prospect of becoming a homeowner without having to save for an unfeasible

Ian Taylor

amount of time."

However Ian Taylor, lettings manager at Reeds Rains City Living raised concerns over whether the renting will always turn into buying, saying: “Situations change, especially with jobs, so someone who starts renting to buy may find their employment takes them to a different part of the country.

“The government would be better off, in my opinion, helping banks to increase the levels of lending, with higher LTV mortgages available at reasonable rates.”

Luxury barn conversions come to market

The new Home Farm Barns development

Nine luxury barn conversions will be brought to the market this month, when the homes are unveiled during an exclusive launch.

A show home at Home Farm Barns will go on display at the Saturday 25 October event, when visitors will have the chance to explore the property with Champagne and canapés.

Developer Heritage Projects Ltd has instructed Countrywide to market the homes, which are set within a Wirral-based gated development on Chapel House Lane in Puddington.

Three of the homes on the site, which is said to be in an “ideal location” for connections to Chester and

CONCENTRIC SIGNS UP FOR PROPERTY SHOW Concentric Lettings is the latest property expert to sign up for the Merseyside Landlord and Property Show 2014 at the BT Convention Centre.

The agent will hold a seminar at the show on 25 October, where lettings manager Rebecca Gill will deliver advice on how to find a letting agent in the current market.

The talk will be based around a booklet produced by the company entitled ‘How to find a great letting agent’, which lists 10 pieces of advice for finding a letting agent.

Rebecca says: “I will be presenting the seminar and explaining the key things that landlords should look out for when choosing a letting agent to look after their property. If you are looking to invest in property, our team can help. We have many years’ experience of advising investors on the right properties to buy to let so we look forward to having a chat with people on the day.”

Concentric Lettings will also join a variety of exhibitors at the event, ranging from property experts to financial and legal experts in the region’s largest landlord show.

The Landlord and Property Show 2014, sponsored by Paul Crowley & Co Solicitors, is free to attend and doors open at 10am until 4pm. For further details visit www.merseysidelandlordsexpo.com.

More information on Concentric Lettings is available at www.concentriclettings.co.uk.

Liverpool as well as North Wales, come with large sub plots with stables and double detached garages, and all homes are set up with a biomass energy system and finished to a high standard.

Tim Kay, business development manager at Countrywide Land & New Homes, says: “We are over the moon to be working alongside Heritage Projects Ltd with such a fantastic opportunity to market such a high end development.”

For more information about Home Farm Barns or to attend the launch event, contact Entwistle Green, part of the Countrywide group, on 0151 339 4771.

COUNTRYSIDE LAUNCHES NEW STEPHENSON GROVE HOMES A new Rainhill development has been launched by Countryside, bringing 89 two, three and four-bedroom homes to the market.

Customer feedback has been incorporated into designs

Work has been underway to build Stephenson Grove for the past 12 months, after feedback from a survey of home buyers’ needs was exclusively incorporated into the designs.

According to Countryside, spacious and modern open-plan layouts were at the top of buyers’ lists of priorities, along with character and plenty of space for both storage and entertainment.

The Grove

LAUNCH SPARKS INTEREST AT LUXURY DEVELOPMENT L

uxury developer Macbryde Homes says it has been “inundated” with interest from potential buyers following the launch of its West Derby development The Grove.

One of the three large properties at the Sandfield Park site was reserved shortly after the launch of the showhome, leaving the five-bedroom detached Osborne House and the six-bedroom Highgrove House still available.

Urging interested buyers to visit the final two homes quickly, a spokesperson for Macbryde says: “Since

opening the secluded gated development of only three substantial residences the sales team have been inundated with discerning purchasers wanting an impressive place to call home.”

Each of the properties at The Grove is inspired by architecture of the Georgian era, and key features include a state of the art centrepiece kitchen. The development is also surrounded by tree-lined avenues and is an easy commute from Liverpool city centre.

AGENT RAISES WITH CHARITY WALK Victoria Beilin of BE Property Services has raised £600 for the Alzheimer’s Society after taking part in the Memory Walk event at Aintree Racecourse.

The firm’s lettings manager took part in the well-attended event, where people walked the course in order to raise money for the charity.

Participants were able to see inside the famous racetrack and were entertained with DJs, face painters, food vans and live music throughout the event. Fundraisers could choose to walk two kilometres or the more challenging 10-kilometre walk.

Victoria says: “The walk took around two hours and it was a great event. We were pleased to support a charity that is so close to my heart, and to the business. There were tons of people there on the day and it was nice to be able to do something to support the Alzheimers Society.”

The Aintree Memory Walk was one of several events across the country.

Participants were asked to set a fundraising target of £50 for the event but Victoria managed to top that with over £600 in donations collected from family, friends and colleagues at the BE Property Services branch.

Abode celebrates lettings growth LIVERPOOL AGENT RECRUITS RISING STAR City Residential is helping to nurture new talent in Liverpool’s property industry with its latest appointment to the team.

The agent has welcomed Liverpool John Moores University student Jack Walpole to the sales and lettings department, and he’ll be carrying out the role as he works towards a threeyear degree in Estate Management.

Having recently moved to Liverpool for university, the new recruit says: “I am loving being in Liverpool, it’s such a great city.

Working at City Residential will help compliment my studies in estate management and I am delighted to be given this opportunity to work alongside a great team.”

City Residential director, Kerry Rogerson-Bevan, adds: “We are delighted to be supporting Jack with his studies and are extremely fortunate to have a young friendly property team who I am sure will help him in all aspects of sales and lettings and socialising too.”

Abode’s lettings team is looking towards an optimistic future, having doubled staff numbers in the past 12 months.

The lettings team has grown from four full-time staff across its Merseyside branches to nine, while the amount of successful lettings each month has also doubled in the same period. Due to this growth the firm’s management portfolio is growing drastically, according to the agent’s lettings manager, Elizabeth Fell.

She says: “Over 12 months we have hand selected the right staff, expanding the entire lettings and property management department to cope with the growing numbers of properties we manage. As a result our management portfolio is only going one way.”

Elizabeth suggests the company’s success comes from exceeding the expectations of landlords and tenants, and says the branches have been boosted by a ‘huge amount’ of recommendations from landlords during the past year.

She adds: “All new staff have been strategically picked to assist with each stage of a letting and managing a property, from experienced valuers, in-house contractors, and designated lettings negotiators, as well as a hands on and vastly experienced manager.”

For more information about Abode lettings call 0151 909 3003 for the Crosby branch or 0151 601 3003 for the Allerton branch.

At the recent ESTAS Awards, the team won a high accolade from feedback received directly from our clients.

What would be your dream property to market?

There are so many to choose from but we think it would have to be Blenheim Palace.

This would be any property expert’s choice due to its beautiful architecture, wonderful interior designs and the kudos attached to such a unique and outstanding building.

What is your main goal?

To continue to provide a high level of service to the Liverpool and Merseyside market place and maintain our position as a leading independent estate agent.

TELL US ABOUT YOUR FORTHCOMING PLANS

What are your greatest strengths?

Our greatest strength is our team. We have the ability to work together through good and bad market conditions, as well as holding high levels of loyalty, compassion, friendship and understanding amongst each other.

This is supported by the excellent feedback we receive from our customers, who we share a mutual respect and professionalism with at all times.

What is the team’s greatest achievement?

We have had quite a few over the years however a recent one that stands out to me is The Wheelhouse in the premier suburb of Mossley Hill. It had been on the market for a number of years with various estate agents. When we finally got the chance to market the property, the team used their usual proactive approach and we sold it within a few months!

The property was listed at £1.75 million and is currently the largest residential property transaction within Liverpool.

Our plans are to offer new estate agency products, expand, recruit and maintain our position in the Liverpool market place while aiming to exceed our clients’ expectations.

TALENT From becoming the youngest ever Perrier award winner to a stand-up career spanning well over two decades, it’s no wonder that funnyman Sean Hughes previously featured high in Channel 4’s ‘World’s 100 Greatest Comedians’ list. And he’s also secured success in acting, writing and broadcasting over the years. As he stopped off at Liverpool’s Unity Theatre to peform his latest comedy show ‘Penguins’, we caught up with Sean for a chat about his ideas, achievements and the varied projects he’s now got on the horizon.

INTERVIEW BY NATASHA YOUNG

What’s been the inspiration for your current tour and why have you called it Penguins?

Well this is a second leg and we’ve already filmed the DVD. It’s called Penguins because in society, and this sounds very heavy but it is a comedy show, pretty much from the age of four you’re sent out to school like gracing penguins and told to get on with your life. Then just in general day-to-day things like New Year’s Eve we’re all told what to do, and I just didn’t like the whole emphasis that people put on sheep normally so that’s all it is to do with penguins really, it’s a metaphor.

Have you been enjoying the tour?

Yes because weirdly I started a new show this summer in London, which I’ll do next year, but I liked this show so much I wanted to do a second leg of it, and also I hadn’t been to Liverpool for ages. They’re always a really nice crowd but I always ended up playing Manchester instead.

There’s a lot of observation in your comedy, including a focus on your own life. What do you look to for inspiration when you’re writing a stand-up show?

I look at my own life but only if I feel that it’s every man’s life. I wouldn’t give you really boring details about my grandad, for instance, but I look at things we can all relate to as a crowd.

In this one there’s a lot about how hard relationships are and there’s a lot about growing up and not being told the facts of life, and I believe that even now kids aren’t really told that at school.

You’ve had a diverse career, ranging from stand-up comedy and acting in Coronation Street to writing, podcasts and other television work. Was it always your intention to try your hand at a range of things?

Well you’ve put your finger on it, it is trying my hand at stuff. I wasn’t trained as an actor or anything.

Sometimes it’s a little bonus and it’s also quite nice to work with other people as it is quite solitary on the road. I did a lot of radio which I

really love, and that’s why I adore doing the podcasts, which I don’t get paid for but I like to be, I guess like everyone else, in control of everything. The two things I love doing are the stand-up shows and the podcasts. Anything else is kind of out of my control.

Coronation Street was pretty much to validate my life for my mum so that she’d be able to watch something that she liked that I’d do.

Is there anything that you’d still like to have a go at given the chance?

I’d love to do art exhibitions even though I can’t paint, but a lot of those people can’t paint!

I’d like to do documentaries too but then the way television is going there doesn’t seem to be the money for that kind of stuff. At the moment we’re trying to get one off the ground but it’s just very hard work.

You mentioned you like to work with other people. Are there any rising comedians or heroes of yours who you’d particularly like to work with?

Whoever I work with on the podcasts I really have a lot of respect for. I personally choose them and I have a group of about 20 that I like. I don’t really do the circuit so I don’t socialise with comics and I don’t really see that many of them.

There is definitely a comradeship between comics because we kind of understand each other so there’s that camaraderie straight away but the comedy has gone a bit skewiff now, like with stadium comedy - I just don’t understand that!

You end up watching a screen really and it’s all way too expensive and so impersonal.

So is your focus to bring it back to that old style of stand-up that you started with?

I think with comedy it can work with a really nice venue of up to about 2,000 people but after that it becomes pointless. Because I don’t want to appear on panel shows it makes it harder for an audience to come and see me so luckily I try to get people my age and they’re the ones that I really like anyway.

When I started you did stand-up because you wanted to do stand-up and it wasn’t a breakthrough into television but now there is a lot of comics who just do stand-up as a byproduct to get into television and I’m much more purist in the sense of I just like people. The only comics who I really like are the ones who tell me something.

the two things i love to do are the stand-up shows and the podcasts. anything else is kind of out of my control Is audience interaction important to you?

On stage every night there’s a story so I’ll always have A-Z but I’ll always have audience participation in a sense because I think every night should be unique. Otherwise, for the comics who do one-liners and that’s it, it’s kind of like an office job because you know it works and you’re doing the same things so I like it to be different every night and I usually like to have a look at the local paper and see what’s happening throughout the area as well.

What plans have you got lined up for once this Penguins tour comes to an end?

I’m hopefully going to write a play. I’ve written a couple of plays before with another guy which we did in Edinburgh. We did two plays and they both won awards, but now there’s a play I just want to write about soup kitchens.

Do you enjoy writing and being behind the scenes as much as you enjoy being centre of the stage?

Oh I enjoy being centre of the stage but sometimes it’s not viable. Also, as you get older you’re not on stage to impress anyone but if it’s my work I like to see it done at its best so obviously I like to perform it if I can.

You mention awards success, and you’ve also been recognised in ‘top 100 comedians’ lists. Is it important to you to be recognised alongside your comedy peers?

Basically, all I want to do on stage is tell the truth so once I’ve done that I’m happy enough, and as long as I know it’s good then I’m happy, I don’t really need awards or anything like that. I don’t think they should make everything a competition, it should be just people trying to do their best.

Strictly star named patron of dance agency Sunetra Sarker

Liverpool-born Casualty and Strictly Come Dancing star, Sunetra Sarker has been named the first patron of local dance agency MDI as it celebrates its 21st anniversary.

The Hope Street organisation, which is embarking on a season of celebrations for its milestone birthday, has welcomed the actress on board and is launching a campaign of support as she competes in the hit BBC dancing competition.

Although a newcomer to ballroom and Latin dancing herself, MDI has been close to Sunetra’s heart as her mother Bishaka Sarker is a long-time collaborator.

Sunetra says: “I am proud to have been asked to be a patron of MDI as a Scouser and a working mother and someone who sees the help dance can make to people’s lives through some of the fascinating work MDI is and has been doing to encourage dance and movement to all.”

MDI’s artistic director Karen Gallagher MBE, who was also made an honorary fellow of Liverpool John Moores University this year, adds: “It’s been a wonderful 21 years so far and this news is just the icing on the cake, all at MDI wish Sunetra much luck on her Strictly journey and look forward to welcoming her into our dance family.”

Meanwhile, MDI has also commissioned the city’s First Take film company to create a short film featuring stars from its history, including the likes of Matthew Bourne, Wendy Houstoun and Wayne McGregor. It will be debuted at the MDI 21st Gala Dinner on 18 November.

WINTER HATS BY ROYAL DESIGNER HEAD FOR LIVERPOOL STORE

P

astels with cocktail hats and smaller pieces will put hat wearers ahead in the style stakes during the coming winter season, according to Liverpool’s Felicity Hat Hire.

Janet Rowland, co-owner of the Queen’s Drive shop, revealed the latest trend having launched collections for the cooler months including designs by Vivien Sheriff, who she says is “in great demand and has designed for many of the young royal family”.

The latest collection also signals the start of a busy year ahead for Felicity Hat Hire, as the store gets set to support a host of charities and take part in forthcoming fundraising events. The shop will be raising funds and awareness for the Lord Mayor’s Charity next year, as well as once again taking part in the annual Wear a Hat Day for Marie Curie; a cause which, along with Lymphoma Research and Alder Hey, Felicity Hat Hire has already been a supporter of.

Meanwhile, Janet says fashionista fans of Aintree’s Grand National race meeting have already began booking their hats ahead of the 2015 event next spring, and February will see 100 hats come into the store in preparation for the yearly stylish outing.

THESE BOOTS ARE MADE FOR WALKING

Looking dapper

Dapper, Bold Street

(BELOW)

Dapper on Bold Street has an array of designer menswear for those that want to look, well dapper.

Housing pieces from designers such as Valentino, Dsquared and Dolce and Gabbana, they always have the latest menswear trends for the season ahead. Our favourite item is this polo shirt, which has been given a luxury twist by designer label Lanvin (£195). Made with soft mesh cotton with a contrasting collar and sleek button details, this piece can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion, making it your wardrobe staple in no time.

Daniel Footwear, Metquarter Liverpool's glamorous mall, the Metquarter is home to many highend retailers, including footwear brand Daniel. As well as offering designer pieces from the likes of DKNY and Michael Kors, Daniel's own brand of shoes and accessories is always on trend.

We love their A/W 14 collection including these military style boots (£149). With a lace-up fastening and buckle detail, these boots are both fashionable and practical. Crafted from real leather with thick grip soles, they're the perfect choice for the frosty winter months.

SELL OUT SKINCARE

Now fully restocked, the popular serum promises to bring new life to tired skin and smooth the appearance of fine lines.

Using a liquid-to-serum technology, the product hydrates your skin quickly and easily, making your skincare routine that much simpler, what's not to love?

FLYING HIGH

Menkind, Lord Street To call the TC04 Large 3 Channel RC Helicopter (£129.99) a toy would be a massive understatement. This amazing chopper is equipped with all the latest technology to ensure you can fly it though the toughest conditions. The best feature is its built-in camera, allowing you to see a birds-eye view of your flight. You can then copy your footage directly to the SD USB card reader, which is included, and watch your flight in high definition. We think it’s the perfect gift for children and adults alike.

& Best for...

SOUP Warming, tasty and filling – having a soup for lunch or dinner is a perfect meal when the nights get longer and the temperature drops. We’ve asked our readers to name the best places to get homemade soup and found this trio of diners where all your soup needs will be met.

BOWLED OVER Tilda’s Kitchen Rice Lane, L9

Located on Rice Lane in North Liverpool, Tilda’s Kitchen calls itself an upmarket eatery with a focus on high quality local produce. It offers fresh soup made with locally sourced ingredients, along with carefully crafted bread and butter from specialist French bakery The French Quarter. Homemade soup of the day can also be added to one of the café’s hearty sandwiches or ciabatta for just £1.50 for a warming feast to fill you up.

SOUL FOOD Soul Cafe & Bar 114 Bold Street, L1 Soul Café has a menu featuring everything from breakfast bagels to freshly made stews.

The homemade soup is thick and filling, with organic, locally sourced ingredients used wherever possible. With a fine selection of coffee and teas and soothing soul music in the background, this is the perfect winter escape. In the evenings, enjoy a drink and a lively atmosphere to accompany your soup.

SOUP-ER STAR Lox and Caper 65-67 Hanover Street, L1 Housed in the Merseyside Youth Association building, Lox and Caper is a café and meeting space tucked away on one of the city’s busiest streets.

Only open since early 2014, it has carved out a niche of thick, flavour-packed sandwiches and fresh, homemade soups. With a different selection every day and friendly service with a smile, this has quickly become a perfect lunchtime haunt for the city’s soup lovers.

BILL’S

10 Thomas Steers Way, L1 You’d be hard pushed to find a better location for a restaurant than Bill’s spot on Thomas Steers Way. A few minutes walk from the stunning waterfront and Albert Dock and just yards from the bustling shops of Liverpool ONE, the city’s brand new eatery is certainly perfectly positioned to attract passing custom. Indeed when my husband and I went along to review the restaurant on a busy Saturday afternoon – with our one year old son in tow – there was a steady stream of shoppers and tourists perusing the menu at the entrance before venturing inside.

The Liverpool venue is the latest branch of the popular chain to open, with over 40 already in operation across the UK – including 17 in London – and has taken over the spot previously occupied by the now defunct Café Sports England brand.

The new owners have completely transformed the restaurant – gone are the scores of TV screens and long bar and in their place an eclectic, mis-matched décor and an altogether more

inviting feel.

To start with I ordered the mini-Cumberland sausages with honey and grain mustard while my husband opted for the ‘chicken in a jar’ – a generous serving of rich and creamy chicken liver parfait with chutney and several slices of toasted sourdough. The sausages were cooked to perfection and the mustard was the perfect accompaniment but the portion could easily have served two or three people as a starter.

For my main course I opted for the pan-fried hake which came with a chunky tomato, avocado and caper salsa and a crispy spring onion and parsley potato rosti. The salsa provided a fresh and tangy flavour for the simple but tasty fish while the rosti was easily the best part of the dish – crisp on the outside and delicately flavoured.

My husband’s choice of the hamburger with Monterey Jack cheese, streaky bacon and skinny fries was a brave one, given he had polished off the last of the sausages and was feeling pretty full before the waitress

had even taken the plates from the starters. However, he had little trouble finishing the succulent beef and light and crispy fries.

Though I’m not much of a fan of desserts, on the recommendation of our waitress we felt compelled to try the Eton Mess. And I’m glad we did - the crispy, chewy crushed meringue with mascarpone and lashings of whipped cream was perfectly complimented by sweet fresh strawberries and a strawberry coulis.

Bill’s is clearly aiming to be all things to all people – serving breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as cocktails and coffee – and it appears to be working. When we visited the restaurant was heaving with families, girls out on the town and couples enjoying a coffee break while shopping. And it’s not hard to see why it’s proving so popular. The staff were friendly and accommodating, particularly when it came to my rather raucous toddler, the atmosphere relaxed and the food filling and delicious.

What more could you ask for?

FUN PALACE AT THE EVERYMAN

T

he Everyman theatre opened its doors to the community for a day of fun and activities to mark what would have been the 100th birthday of theatre director Joan Littlewood, as part of a series of free Fun Palaces events across the country.

To celebrate the occasion the Sense of Sound acapella choir performed at the iconic venue, visitors took part in dance, singing and drumming workshops and also participated in science-themed experiments in a ‘laboratory bar’.

Meanwhile, guests were invited to explore the inner sanctum of the theatre as members of the Bright Phoenix company performed at the venue, allowing them to see behind the scenes of a stage show. Other activities included culture-themed playing card games, crafts, workshops, face painting and giant puppets.
