How Much Does It Really Cost To Buy A Home?

The true cost of buying a home isn’t always obvious when you start looking, and many people are unaware just how much the additional fees can mount up. In fact, when consumer group Which? carried out a national property survey, over 25% of buyers and sellers said that moving had cost them more than expected. So apart from your mortgage, what extra fees and expenses might you face when buying a new home? HOMEBUYER SURVEYS Mortgage lenders will carry out a basic valuation survey to FRQÀUP KRZ PXFK WKH SURSHUW\ is worth. The price of this can start from around £150, but varies according to its value. Two other types of survey are also available - a Homebuyer Report and a full structural survey. The cost of these surveys can vary depending on your location and the size of the property, but expect to pay from around £250 for a Homebuyer Report and upwards of £600 for a structural survey.

carry out. More than 60 different searches are available, but many are specialised and only relevant to a small number of properties. These are the searches most commonly used by homebuyers: Local Authority Local authority searches include the Local Land Charges Register. Your solicitor will also Ă€QG RXW DERXW DQ\ LVVXHV VXFK as new roads that are being planned near the property, any parking restrictions or tree preservation orders, for example. Land registry 7KLV ZLOO FRQĂ€UP ZKR KROGV the legal title to the land, and whether there are any charges on the property, such as a mortgage. Drainage and Water The water company will FRQĂ€UP ZKHWKHU WKH SURSHUW\ LV connected to the mains water supply, drainage and surface water drainage. This search also reveals whether any public drains are located on the land. Environmental An environmental search utilises historical information about how the land on which the property was built, and the land nearby, was used in the past – industrial or commercial uses, for example – and indicates whether contamination might be an LVVXH $Q\ ULVN RI Ă RRGLQJ LV also highlighted using data from the Environment Agency. STAMP DUTY Stamp Duty affects the purchasers of residential freehold or leasehold properties sold forover ÂŁ125,000, with rates currently standing atš:

• ÂŁ125,001 to ÂŁ250,000: 2% • ÂŁ250,001 to ÂŁ925,000: 5% • ÂŁ925,001 to ÂŁ1.5 million: 10% • Over ÂŁ1.5 million: 12% As a buyer, you must send a Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) return along with your payment within 30 days of completion.

Top Gadget Gifts For Christmas

There’s a very good chance that this year, Santa’s sack will be stuffed with gadgets: from kid-friendly tablets to expensive iPhones, many people’s presents will be of the digital variety. But you don’t need to spend a fortune to get some great gifts. One of the highlights of the shopping calendar is Black Friday, which is a recent American import: the last Friday in November - this year, that’s the 25th of November - is when shops offer massive discounts to kick-start the Christmas shopping season. It’s grown to encompass Cyber Monday, the Monday immediately afterwards, and some retailers run an entire week of deals in the run-up to Black Friday weekend. In the last few years UK retailers have got in on the act, and Black Friday is a great source of bargains, especially on electronics from online retailers. Just make sure you use a price checking service to ensure that the bargains you see are genuinely good deals. Some retailers mimic supermarket wine deals, with JDGJHWV SULFHG DUWLÀFLDOO\ high in October so they can DSSHDU WR EH WHUULÀF EDUJDLQV LQ November. Buying for technology fans can be tricky because they often go out and buy the gadgets they

want as soon as they become available. Thank goodness for accessories, then: a leather case for a smartphone or a messenger bag for a laptop makes a great gift, although watch out for “bonded leatherâ€?, ZKLFK LV DUWLĂ€FLDOO\ SURGXFHG and doesn’t wear like real leather. If your intended recipient has young children, a PLOLWDU\ VSHFLĂ€FDWLRQ SURWHFWLYH case will save many trips to the smartphone or tablet repairer. Headphones are always a good gift, especially now that Apple has dumped the familiar 3.5mm headphone adapter from its latest iPhones, so wireless Bluetooth headphones or headphones that use the Lightning connector will be a big upgrade over the fairly rubbish Apple versions. But this doesn’t only apply to Apple users: most of the headphones that come with phones are dreadful, and in addition to those designed to make music better you can choose from a wide selection of specialist headphones, such as Bose’s QuietComfort noise-cancelling range. We know from experience that noise-cancelling headphones make train, bus and air travel much more relaxing, and while high-end models can cost over ÂŁ200 it’s quite possible to get noise-cancelling phones from the likes of Sony for less than ÂŁ20. And don’t forget wireless Bluetooth speakers too: they’re

a great add-on for phones, tablets and laptops, none of which tend to have very good sound systems. It’s usually a good idea to stay away from novelty items - anything hilarious that’s designed to plug into a USB port is surely destined for ODQGĂ€OO E\ %R[LQJ 'D\ DQG if you can’t think of anything appropriate, vouchers make an excellent present.

Home & Interiors Open Plan Living

By Katherine Sorrell your space is very long and thin, painting the end walls in a deeper shade makes them appear closer, thus improving the proportions, while a neutral scheme throughout can be given matching accents of a brighter colour – say, a rug in the living area, glasses on the dining table and a couple of kitchen accessories – for a smart and interesting look.

GET THE LIGHT RIGHT Good lighting makes a big difference in any room, and is especially important for open-plan living, helping to zone the space and provide either strong illumination or soft ambience. Food preparation areas need bright lights, which can usually be built into the bottoms of wall-mounted cabinets or, if you have an island unit, can take the form of a ceiling-mounted track or a row of pendants. ,Q GLQLQJ DQG OLYLQJ DUHDV PHDQZKLOH \RX¡OO ZDQW Ă H[LEOH OLJKWLQJ WKDW FDQ EH WXUQHG XS RU GRZQ HDVLO\ ([SHUWV DGYLVH LQVWDOOLQJ D UDQJH RI FLUFXLWV WKDW FDQ EH FRQWUROOHG E\ VHSDUDWH VZLWFKHV RU dimmers but, unless you’re at the building-work stage, this will involve a fair bit of disruption (not WR PHQWLRQ WKH H[WUD H[SHQVH ,QVWHDG VLPSO\ LQWURGXFH Ă H[LELOLW\ E\ UHSODFLQJ PDLQ OLJKW VZLWFKHV ZLWK GLPPHUV DQG SOXJJLQJ LQ D VHOHFWLRQ RI WDEOH RU Ă RRU ODPSV DW VWUDWHJLF SRLQWV

Beauty I Need A Hero by Kate Duggan www.kateduggan.co.uk

Skin saviours to see you through the winter months Skin feeling dry, tight and dehydrated? Try Dr. Weil for Origins™ MegaMushroom Skin Relief, £27.50-£40. It’s very light, almost like a toner, but incredibly hydrating and leaves skin feeling plumped and soft. Apply with a soft cloth or cotton wool pads. Key ingredients include mushroom extracts and a blend of essential oils. It’s currently on sale in a rather lovely limited edition bottle printed in a seabuckthorn pattern. Available from www.origins.co.uk and some branches of Boots and House of Fraser.

Ingredients include seaweed extract, shea butter, apricot kernel oil, macadamia nut oil and aloe vera. It’s very hydrating and soothing, and rich without being too heavy or greasy. Ishga is a Scottish luxury skincare brand and is available through some spas and online at www.ishga.co.uk.

Another brand to recognise the potential of mushrooms is Janjira. They’ve included mushroom extract in their Pomegranate & Acai Facial Mask, £20.

Skin Food is usually £9.95, but www.biggreensmile.com was offering 20% off at the time of writing.

Motoring

By James Baggott

We Try Nissan’s Bonkers Bladeglider

As we hit the back straight of the twisting kart track in the middle of a shanty town in Brazil, the wail of the concept car’s electric motors reaches a crescendo. It’s banshee-like in pitch and would rival a hover bike from Star Wars in tone – this is noise like no electric car that’s gone before it, and it’s pointing to the future of electric vehicles (EVs) for Nissan.

With a narrow front track and aerodynamically designed body that widens like an arrow

Although that car’s track time was short lived, the lessons Nissan learned are brought back to life in this mad sports car concept that’s part Robin Reliant, part McLaren F1, part Caterham. With two 174bhp electric motors, independently powering each rear wheel, the BladeGlider is good for nearly 120mph and 60mph in under ÀYH VHFRQGV It’s been built in conjunction with F1 experts Williams Advanced Engineering and features an unusual threeseater layout where both

passengers sit behind and either side of the driver. Unfortunately, we weren’t allowed a drive of the multimillion pound concept car; however, we did get to experience it from the passenger seat. Even from here it’s clear the BladeGlider offers a completely unique driving experience. Those two front wheels and the wide-track rear make for a planted and agile ride. On the tiny test track it whipped between corners with a whiff of tyresmoking oversteer when our exuberant test driver got playful.

We’ve come to Rio de Janeiro to experience this mad Batmobile-like sports car concept, dubbed the BladeGlider.

to the rear, the concept car takes design cues from the Delta Wing Le Mans racer of 2012.

For us mere mortals the BladeGlider offers a drift

any time soon is highly unlikely. This is just one of two produced and they’re likely to be the last. Well, in this form at least.

The BladeGlider did feet softly sprung, though, more hot hatch than sports car over the kerbs. But most importantly it was great fun – and, with the instant torque available from those electric motors, it felt swift too.

So you might be wondering what the point is? Well, Nissan says that’s simple, really: they want to make people UHDOLVH HOHFWULÀFDWLRQ doesn’t mean dull, and a sports car concept as bonkers as this proves otherwise.

It’s not supercar fast, but will push you back into the sports seats and throw you around enough to induce a whiff of travel sickness. There’s currently no word on range, though – which we’d guess means it’s currently pretty poor. Unfortunately, the chances of being able to order a BladeGlider from your local dealer

Nissan is long overdue a sister car to the Leaf, the world’s best-selling EV, and many will be hoping the lessons Nissan has learned here will lead to a thrilling followup. Fortunately, after a very short passenger ride, all the signs are pointing in the right direction for a smash hit.
