NEED A SHORT TERMRENTAL?

With so many agents and landlords unwilling to let aproperty to tenants wanting a shorter term that the

six months, the rental market can sometimesprove inflexible.

Speak to Pantheon, as we have a number of propertiesavailable to let for shorter stays.

Weʼll still give you the protection of a tenancyagreement, and we can revert the tenancy to a ʻperiodicʼ

tenancy if youʼre unsure of how long you will need tostay or weʼll extend the tenancy for a further fixed or

ʻassuredʼ term.

It wonʼt cost you any more money each month, wewonʼt increase the costs just because youʼre not staying

for long!

Lots of tenants may have all sorts of reasons for needingthe flexibility that Pantheon are able to offer. Contactus now to find out which properties are still available!

The auctioneer As auctioneer at Whitegates Auctions, DaveRedmond’s passion for property has taken himthrough all avenues of the industry. He nowrelishes the opportunity to regularly view the bestproperties, and the adrenaline rush which eachauction brings. Entries for the next Whitegatesauction are welcomed.

How did you get into property?After leaving school I didn’t want to go to university so Ibegan working at insurance company, Refuge Assurance,as a sales agent. Eventually I wanted a new direction and,by chance, there was a Whitegates office round the cornerfrom where I worked. I began as a sales negotiator therebefore being trained for valuations. I applied for a valuersrole with Whitegates and worked my way up to branchmanager at their Cleckheaton office and eventually seniorvaluation manager in their Bradford office.

How has your career progressed?An old manager invited me to run a business for him,running auctions in Liverpool for Whitegates, in theWalton Vale office so I was delighted. It’s such anexhilarating feeling to sell to a room full of people! Weheld an auction in June, which was very successful as 70percent of the lots were sold under the hammer. The nextWhitegates auction is at 1pm, Thursday September 172009 at the Radisson SAS Hotel.

What are you reading at the moment?I’m currently engrossed in Scarpetta by Patricia Cornwell,a gripping read about a forensic pathologist! I’ve probablyalready read about 30 of Cornwell’s books. I recentlyfinished Devil Bones by Cathy Reichs which is in asimilar vein; I love the element of darkness and suspenseof the genre!

With Kim Cattrall retracing her roots on BBC One’s ‘Who Do You Think You Are?’ the city was really underthe spotlight, showing off the waterfront, the MaritimeMuseum and Hope Place, as buyers in the former showlooked at apartments in Sefton Park and luxuryproperties in Gayton and Little Sutton on Wirral.

Next year will see ‘sell and rent back’ schemesregulated by the FinancialServices Authority (FSA),in a bid to tackle consumerproblems.

Previously, homeownerswho opted to sell theirhomes to companies andthen rent them back havesuffered when the landlordopted to sell on theproperty, or had the houserepossessed because theyweren’t keeping up withmortgage payments.

This has then seen theformer owner, now tenant,evicted from the property.Others have signed theagreement to find that they were only allowed to continue living in theproperty on a shortholdtenancy, lasting between six and 12 months.

In the interim before fullregulations are put in placeto protect consumers, firmsmust apply to the FSA tocontinue trading. Theymust comply with the FSA’s principles forbusiness and be required to have adequate resourcesand trained staff to operate.

The watchdog will stop,ban or fine firms whichbreak the rules.

With the Lloyds bank set to open as a restaurantin the business district, the Exchange Restaurantplanned for the Hilton on the waterfront near the Liverpool One terrace, and Italian Club Fish finding success on Bold Street, can the city sustain its wealth of eateries?

“I eat out regularly in Liverpool and inmy experience the restaurants are all busy especially in Liverpool One and theAlbert Dock. Consumers are now moreprice savvy and are likely to use discountvouchers and early bird offers. The key toa successful restaurant is good qualityfood, good service and realistic pricingand if the restaurant gets this right thebusiness will survive and flourish.”

Sian Evanspartner, Weightmans Solicitors

“Liverpool’s a growing city and theculinary choice needs to grow too,competition is not a bad thing either.We’re really starting to enjoy the choiceof quality eateries and we’ll continue todo so. There are great places to eat, butwe don’t excel in this area. A city centreMichelin star would really put us on thehigh-end food map.”

Bill Elmsdirector, Bill ElmsAssociates

“Admittedly, I’m an eternal optimist, but I think there's room - as long asquality is maintained and there are pricesand cuisines to suit all. Liverpool is agood time city and people here love goingout and eating out. Also an eclectic rangeof food on offer attracts more tourists and weekend visitors - none of the top city break destinations is exactly short of eateries!”

Jenny Morganpress officer at the Empire Theatre

“The quality restaurants will always bepopular, it’s just making sure thatstandards are maintained. San Carlo is opening up in Castle Street very soonand I think it will do very well. Venuessuch as Panoramic, Piccolino’s andRestaurant Bar & Grill do well throughthe day as well as the evening because they are situated in the middle of thebusiness district. The economy is hard at the moment but Liverpudlians like to have a good time and spend money so maybe a few more good restaurantswouldn’t go amiss.”

Carol KavanaghAlphabet Design

“Liverpool has always been a city thatappreciated good restaurants and theinflux of tourists makes this even busier. It is increasingly difficult to get a table atthe weekend without booking weeks inadvance. Also, the very special deals thatthe successful restaurants are offeringmake it affordable for families to dine out,without it being a special occasion.Local restauranteurs seem to appreciatethe importance of value for money.”

Emergency actionAt the beginning of summer,Nationwide Building Societymade the headlines byintroducing a 125 per centmortgage for homebuyers. TheFinancial Services Authority,the government body set up toregulate the banking industry,has earlier said that it wouldconsider discouraging banksand lenders from offering loansloans of up to 100 per cent onproperties. Yet, at Nationwide,the deal was set up only to helpexisting customers who foundthemselves in negative equity.For those homebuyers, who

found that the value of theircurrent properties was less than the amount of money they owed on the mortgage, the deal was welcomed. It’s not surprising that a negativeequity status makes it difficultto move house or to borrowmore money, and although inthe long term house prices willrecover, figures in July werereleased showing that up to 1.1million households were at riskof falling into negative equity.

A return to cautionIn the not too distant past,buyers needed to approach

With the recent rise in house sales and prices set to boost the housingmarket, say some quarters, by the end of the year, the mortgage market is seeing the launch of new products,often with incentives for buyers whichrun contrary to expert advice. We’vesearched for some crucial advice to help you find the right mortgage.

banks for a mortgage with adeposit to put down on theirnew home. After the upheaval in the housing market, which for a time allowed buyers toborrow 100 per cent costs of a new property, we are seeing a return to more cautiouslending – and for experts in this sector it is a welcomedevelopment. For newcustomers, Nationwide offers an 85 per cent mortgage, andbuyers also have to pass a test on whether, should rates rise,they will still be able to meet the monthly repayments. Thesuccess of these consumerfriendly tactics to encouragefresh borrowing, and in turn the house buying market, will be tested over the course of thenext few months.

Achieving stabilityFrom May to June, the numberof mortgages granted tohomeowners rose by 23 per cent,which suggests to many that themarket is stabilising. NigelConnolly, an advisor at GBFinance, commented: “TheHalifax price index has risenfrom the second time in the lastthree months, and this appearsto be giving rise to early signs ofconfidence returning to thehousing market. Some lendersare introducing new productswith more relaxed criteria andhigher ‘loan to values’.” MikeRoberts, at Boo mortgageadvisors, says that it’s the lenderswho’ve never had it so good:“Astronomical rates are beingcharged in relation to bank baserate, but the poor borrower ishaving to jump through hoops to get the mortgage required.”However, he agreed that it isn’tall bad news for the borrower:“Having said that, if a client hasgood credit rating, a large (25 percent) deposit, and can prove alltheir income then getting amortgage should not be aproblem.” Mike was also clearabout the developments he’d liketo see in the mortgage market:“The market needs competitionbefore rates will be at a level theyshould be, and lenders need to

think about products forborrowers who don’t fit theirvery tight criteria. For this tohappen we need to see moremoney in the money marketsand more bankers taking risks.”

Seek independent adviceOf course, with the differencesbetween lenders showing caution and those keen to loan,obtaining the right mortgage tosuit your circumstances can bemore difficult. It may now betime for you, the buyer, to assessyour needs more thoroughly:what level of repayments can you afford every month? Canyou still afford these if you suffer a loss of income, and with other costs of living rising,and your other commitments?Work out your budget and beclear about the whole of the cost,including fees. Remember thatoverstating your income is seenas fraud. Mike added: “For thosewanting to move or remortgagenow, more than ever it is thetime to seek independentfinancial advice. The lenders arecharging higher than ever rates,service is suffering due to acutback in staff and only anindependent mortgage brokerwill be able to offer the borrower

recommendations from thewhole of the market.” Choose an advisor who subscribes to the Financial Services Authority,to ensure that your decisions are based on sound advice.

First time buyersIt should also be seen as positivenews that first time buyers are taking up mortgages onproperties. At developmentsacross Liverpool, buyers aretaking advantage of offers to help match deposits, and indeedthe government’s HomeBuyDirect scheme (availablethrough www.homeshub.co.uk)to get onto the property ladder.David Barron from BarronIndependent Mortgagescommented: “It has beenencouraging to see more firsttime buyers entering theproperty market, as they havemanaged to save their 10 percent deposits. With propertyprices reducing in some areas,more and more people are takingthe leap onto the propertyladder. What we hope this willdo is set a domino effect, withothers moving up the ladder.”

Mortgages as investmentsAt the moment, buy-to-let

properties are not regulated bythe Financial Services Authorityso when prices fall there is littleprotection against losses made.As a long-term investmenthowever, property is still a good choice.

Final thoughtsWhat’s certain is that buyingyour own home remains anambition for many, and anachievable one for most. Theadvice is to save up a deposit – giving you a better choice oflenders as well as properties, and more security in the longterm. And, while you save up,take advantage of the city’sfantastic rental properties.

Other itemsincluded a montage of pagethree models that coveredthe entire upstairs of aproperty, two surf boardsused as saloon style kitchendoors and a Christmas tree,discovered in the middle ofAugust, featuring a glass eyeamong its baubles anddecorations.

Belvoir chief executiveMike Goddard commented:“Usually tenants are notrouble and the transitionbetween one tenant leavingand another inhabiting theproperty is smooth. Butsometimes, when a property is cleared out, it is theletting agents and landlordswho have to deal with theleftovers. Some items wereeven left as gifts for thelandlord. One tenant leftpickled eggs because theywanted to say thank you andthought the landlordwould like them!”

Making a splash in Sefton

Residents in Sefton are enjoyingsome unusual activities in theneigbourhoods. From hitching aride in the new water taxi, tocanoeing, water rolling or riding aswan pedalo, youth groups andfamilies are making the most ofthe summer holidays on theLiverpool-Leeds canal in Bootle.

The ‘Art for Places’ three-yearproject is a communityengagement scheme with localpeople across the three localauthorities, helping people toreshape their neighbourhoodsthrough art.

The water taxi, brainchild of

Dutch artist Lambert Kamps,consists of an upside downhackney cab transformed into awater vessel and has been provingparticularly popular withresidents. Lambert commented:“It’s been a real honour to workhere in Sefton on this project.The people have really made mefeel at home and I’ve reallyenjoyed creating this vessel forpeople to travel in.”

Meanwhile, unsung heroes inthe community can be nominatedfor Sefton’s CommunityChampions awards online atwww.sefton.gov.uk.champions.

The familiar sight of BlacksEstate Agents boards in thenorth of Liverpool is about to increase.

The local agent has nowacquired the selling rights forall of Williams Estate Agents’properties, located in OldRoan/Aintree.

Following its expansion lastyear of a satellite office in PLALettings, Walton Vale, and thisyear at The Home Market,Marion Square, Netherton, it’s

all looking bigger and betterfor the agent.

Owner, Mike Black,commented: “We are delightedwith our latest acquisition tothe company. Having becomeso established in Bootle,Litherland and Netherton, theidea of now moving into theAintree, Melling and Maghullareas is very exciting.”

Are you looking forward to Creamfields?I always do yeah. I’ve been tothe majority of the Creamfieldsfestivals and it’s a big event inthe social calendar. I’m awarethat makes me sound like theQueen talking about RoyalAscot but without question it’sa huge event. Although theweather is by no meansconsistent that can actuallymake it better. If people arecovered in mud they don’t careby that point and they justhave a lot of fun.Do you find regionaldifferences in UK crowds? Aresome more ‘up for it’ thanothers?Going back a while then yesbut in the post-super club erayou don’t really notice adifference. Creamfields willattract an audience from 50 percent of the UK at least, with

people coming from Scotlandand the midlands and evenfurther afield. When peoplehave come so far you can’treally differentiate the regionalimpact.You’ve played in some of the bigLiverpool clubs. What do youmake of the city?It’s definitely more than justsomewhere to visit for me. Oneof my two best friends JohnKelly is a bit of local legend soI tend to go wherever he takesme. The development of thecity centre is great and it’scome on leaps and bounds overthe last few years.What’s the strangest venueyou’ve played?One New Year’s Eve I wasauctioned off by Radio One toplay a private DJ set. I endedup playing at a barn insomeone’s house. I’ve alsoplayed at the foot of the

pyramids in Egypt which was pretty memorable.You’re something of ahousehold name now. Did youever envisage having such animpact on the club scene?It’s very unusual for any DJ tomake it a full time career. Forthe majority it’s kind of a parttime job. It’s so different whenyou’re full time. When you’restarting out it seems to be anambition too far.Has it been a particularly busysummer for you or are yougenerally busy all the time?Summer is always busy. I’ve gota weekly night in Ibiza whichhas been going for 10 years, Iplay in Majorca every Monday,do my Radio One show onFriday nights and then there’salways something differentgoing on on Saturday. I’ve alsojust come back from seeingMadonna in Barcelona. Everynight is a Saturday night whenyou’re out here.Which fellow DJ has impressedyou most over the years?People come along all the timeand it’s quite difficult to makea judgement because you don’talways have a chance to hearthe entirety of their set. EddieHalliwell and Carl Cox alwaysmaintain a very high technicalstandard but that’s only part ofthe equation. Over the summerI’ll go social clubbing in Ibizaand on the one hand you wantto take your professional hat offfor a while but it’s also difficultto stop thinking in a criticalway when you’re listening to aDJ’s performance.You must get exposed to a lot of new talent on yourradio show. Have you comeacross any stand out namesfor the future?There’s a guy called WillAtkinson who hails from theOrkney Islands who is verytalented. He’s remarkable ifonly for where he’s from!Heartbeats in Argentina arealso very consistent. There areso many DJs who have madeone fantastic song and thendisappeared. The key isdelivering the goods year inyear out.

What’s your favourite aspectof the job?I’m going to sound like a MissWorld contestant but I’d haveto say travelling the world andmeeting people. Being at theroot of people’s emotions whenI’m performing is great too.In the past you’ve started upyour own fashion line andinvested in an Ibiza restaurant.Do you like turning your handto different ventures?I had to sell my share of therestaurant because it was a steptoo far in terms of hours butthe clothing line has gonereally well. I do try and turnmy hand to things that don’tfeel like a job. I’ve beenfortunate to do what I love.And finally, as the mostfamous judge in the musicindustry, can you ever seeyourself returning to thelegal profession?One day I probably will, solong as it’s music based.

With over 10 yearsexperience in theinterior designbusiness, SharonArmor is poised to answer all yourdesign queries fromDIY disasters todecorating dilemmas.

We are planning to have an e-suite bathroom, added to ourbedroom. The work is about to begin, but we are worriedabout the lack of natural light in the new bathroom. Wehave large floor to ceiling windows in the bedroom so arevery concerned about privacy issues. Can you come up withany solutions for us?

Have you considered the option of using some kind oftextured glass wall? I think in en-suites this idea canwork really well. There are so many options available toyou; you could perhaps use the glass to form the wall ofthe shower enclosure. Using textured, etched sandblastedor coloured glass would allow natural light from yourbedroom to flood into the en-suite whilst still giving youthe privacy you require.

Practical Rack

We want to redecorate the conservatory. At the moment thechildren use it as a den! It’s full of toys etc. We would like to

have it more as an adult room and would like to invest in somestatement pieces. I love the idea of a 70’s theme with lots of pot

plants, cushions etc. What kind of furniture would you suggest?

B&B Italia is renowned for their statement pieces of furniture. This season they have blown away the market with their texturalcontemporary woven effects. I think the Crinoline chair designed

by Patricia Urquiola would be perfect for your conservatory. Thisstatement piece is a fantastic reworking of the design classic high-backed

wicker armchair. Truly a contemporary 70’s masterpiece.

The environmental andlogistical problems of landfillshave prompted governmentsaround the globe to introduce a raft of various recyclinginitiatives. In many instances,the solution lies at home. Muchof the household waste weusually confine to landfills can actually be used as efficientfertiliser around the garden.While materials such as eggboxes and cereal packets can add bulk to your compost bin,many items that would often be discarded can be planteddirectly into the soil to makeyour green space a bloomingsuccess. Bananas, for example,will boost the number andquality of your rose blooms.Simply placing the skins aroundthe base of the plants willimprove their growing powerimmensely. Egg shells are agreat source of calcium andprove especially useful forproducing tasty tomatoes.Simply crush the shells before digging them into thesurrounding soil. Coffee grainsare rich in nitrogen and, whenplanted, also release magnesium,calcium and potassium into theground. The grains offer awelcome source of nutrients for plants.

Delifonseca on Stanley Street is no longer the city’s best keptsecret for home cooked lunchesand authentic produce; afterwinning the Food NorthwestAward for 2009 the businessdistrict’s lunchtime offeringsand deli are set to become evenmore popular with discerningdiners. The Stanley Streetvenue is ideally situated in the business district to meetNicky Rigby, marketing andcommunications manager for the Wirral region atNewHeartlands office inWhitechapel. Tasked withfinding new ways to assisthousing market growth andlow demand in specificneighbourhoods in Merseyside,NewHeartlands is the government’s housingmarket renewal pathfinder, andhas operated a large-scaleregeneration programme in the region since 2003. Nickyexplains: “It’s about raisingpeople’s expectations of wherethey’re living and giving themaspirations for the future. At NewHeartlands, we’reworking with local people to re-energise and regeneratethose areas and make themattractive to potential buyersand tenants again.”

We enjoy some olives andCandice Fonseca’s freshly

baked breads as Nicky fills mein on her role. As marketingand communications managerat NewHeartlands for the pastthree years, she’s seen thehousing market renewalprogramme evolve to changethe physical and mentalenvironment for the earmarkedcommunities in the designatedareas across Liverpool, Seftonand Wirral. Her career inmarketing led her to work for the private sector, travellingto Europe to visit trade affairs,before bringing her back to our region and into the not-for-profit sector. Theemphasis on ‘place marketing’at NewHeartlands has seen hercome up with original ways toalter people’s perceptions ofareas in order to think aboutmoving there, and to keep themomentum going throughoutthe long, and sometimes slow,process of physical change.

Events like the recentStrictly Regeneration! Awardsat the Crowne Plaza hotel, have applauded theindividuals, organisations and projects responsible forregenerating Merseyside. Atthe programme’s completion,23,000 new, modern and well-designed homes will be built,63,000 refurbishments willhave been undertaken, 10,500

demolitions will have clearedareas of poor quality propertiesand the new improved greenspace areas will have lifted the look and the feel of theenvironment.

Over lunch, which for Nickyis the slow roast belly porkserved with a creamy potatogratin and mixed vegetables,we discuss the forthcomingMerseyside Landlords Expo to be held at the FloralPavilion in New Brighton inSeptember. I tuck into my light but deliciously flavouredchicken and coconut curry, ahomemade spin on an exoticdish, as we discuss the appealto small landlords and largerinvestors and the advantages of private and public sectorpartnerships for the region.Nicky is pleased and excited by how large the inauguralevent is set to become:“Celebrity housing expertSarah Walker will be giving aseminar on how to make moremoney from your propertyportfolio, and the day will befilled with events.” There aretax, health and safety andhousing benefit issues whichall landlords need to be awareof, and an event like this is abrilliant opportunity topromote the services availablein the region.”
