A home for the futureGenerous pensions and earlyretirements aren’t asforthcoming as they once were,so for some time, many peoplein their senior years have beenlooking to downsizing theirhome to free up some capital.If the mortgage on a large,family home has been paid infull, then a smaller property

may be able to be purchasedwith a cash buy for a quickersale and moving in process –providing peace of mind forthe buyer and their family.

Keep it cleanOnce the family has left thenest, many couples feeldaunted by the prospect ofmaintaining a family home. By

moving to a house more inkeeping with theirrequirements, they will havefewer rooms to maintain, andsurfaces to keep clean. Ingeneral, a smaller propertybrings with it less to clean,maintain, cool and heat.Modern properties have littlecall for updating and tend tobe more energy efficient.

Apartments require noexternal upkeep and areusually comfortably compact tominimise cleaning endeavours,and it can be very pleasant foran elderly couple to mix withlike-minded neighbours.

While more of us are working longer to safeguard a secure financial future, andwith the recent economic downturn bringing its own challenges, downsizing yourproperty may be one way of attaining a comfortable and happy retirement in yourdream property. We look at the benefits of the move and how you can go about it.

different area, perhaps closer tofamily and friends, or offer thechance to experience the newtrend in city living. It may wellpresent the option to live in aluxurious city centre apartment,with enviable vistas of theMersey and beyond. Suchproperties offer close proximityto a host of amenities, such asshops, hospitals and the PostOffice. They also often comewith the advantage of beingfully furnished to a highspecification, meaning that nonew furniture will be needed tofit into the apartment’sdimensions. Much of the timethere is the benefit of gatedaccess and the peace-of-mind ofon-site security and conciergeservice. Residential letting agentKing Sturge offers a range ofsuch of properties, includingthose at the popular One ParkWest and Colonnadesdevelopments. Martyn Green, apartner at King Sturge, says hehas witnessed a surge ofdownsizers taking advantage ofprices in the city centre over thelast couple of months. Hecommented: “We’ve seen asignificant influx of maturecouples purchasing city centreapartments in the currentfinancial climate. People arefinding city centre apartmentsare good value and lowmaintenance, with no gardensand external guttering tomaintain. As a result this hasdriven sales of two bedroomapartments up over the past twomonths, with cash rich maturecouples looking to enjoy a lowmaintenance exciting life in thecity centre.”

Tax incentivesDownsizing at retirement agecan even be construed as doingyour bit for the youngergeneration, releasing some muchneeded family homes onto themarket. With careful planningyou are also able to assist yourfamily by reducing the amountof inheritance tax they would beliable to pay in the future. JuliaCasimo, a tax partner at JohnKerr Chartered Accountants inWest Derby, commented: “Thisvery much depends on what you

do with the excess fundsgenerated by the sale of thelarger house. If you keep themin your own names, for examplein a bank account, or investthem in other assets then thereis unlikely to be any inheritancetax saving at all. Making anoutright cash gift, with nostrings attached, for example tochildren, will save inheritancetax. You will need to surviveseven years from the date of thegift for it to be fully effectivefrom a tax perspective. There aresome financial products such asdiscounted gift trusts and loantrusts which can also achieveinheritance tax savings, butthese can be complex andexpensive. It’s worthremembering that home-madeinheritance tax strategies oftenfall foul of the ‘Gift withReservation of Benefit’ rules and are rarely successful.

PitfallsDownsizing isn’t a lucid choicefor all, however. Despite theadded costs, space is a luxuryand offers somewhere to stay

for visiting children andgrandchildren. Spare roomsalways offer the potential for an alternative use and you cannever have enough storage space or comfort. To ensure themove is financially viable, thecosts of moving should also befactored. For those who dochoose to downsize, rememberthat you have the upper-hand in the current market and beprepared to hold your ground to find the right property in the right area for you.

Right time to actThat said, for thoseconsidering downsizing, therehas never been a better to act.City centre apartments andsmall modern homes are pricedparticularly competitively at the moment, while largefamily homes in suburbs such as Allerton and Wooltonare retaining their popularity. Such factors equate tohandsome profit margins and the opportunity to secure a bright and healthyfuture.

Robert Ware, who specialises inresidential and commercialinvestment property at thefirm’s city centre office, has beenbuoyed by the number of clientswho are using the downturn tobuild up their propertyportfolios.

“We have seen a demand forour services as people make themost of low house prices”, saidRob, “it’s well documented thatproperty prices throughouthistory have had peaks andtroughs. Nowadays, investorsare not just simply looking atpossible capital growth over theintervening years prior to thesale, but also the income.

“With interest rates at an alltime low, it’s difficult to obtain asufficient yield on any savings or

other investments currentlyavailable. This, coupled withhigh demand for rental property,allows investors to obtain up toa 12 per cent yield per propertyper year, which makes investinga very attractive proposition to alot of my client base.”

Robert, who has worked forMorecrofts for the past fiveyears, adds that there are bigopportunities for propertydevelopers. He added: “Theycan get property at veryreasonable prices now and sellthem to first time buyers whosee the current downturn in themarket as an ideal opportunityto get onto the ladder.” Formore information or advice,contact Robert and the team atMorecrofts on 0151 236 8871.

Investor opportunitiesA solicitor for leading law firm Morecrofts insists there is still a vast array ofproperty opportunities in and around the city for investors and first time buyers.

The Wirral firm will convert theGrade II* listed building intolow-cost accommodation forstudents after securing thebuilding for £450,000 at auction.The old prison, which wasformerly owned by MerseysidePolice Authority, was the city’smain lock-up for more than 130

years. Students Lettings Pointhas said they plan to create “atleast 100 low-cost rooms” at TheMain Bridewell, on Cheapside,off Dale Street. A spokesman forthe company commented: “Allthe work would have to be donesympathetically because this isan important and listed

building and we want tomaintain the integrity of theoriginal features.” The MainBridewell was built in the early1860s and was used to detainpetty criminals overnightbefore they appeared at theneighbouring magistrates’court.

The network, made up ofRiverside, Affinity Sutton, Placesfor People, Gentoo and London& Quadrant, will present the keyfindings of its report ‘Homes forTomorrow: New Direction forHousing Policy’ at the threemain political party conferences.The report makes the case for a‘new purpose’ for state subsidisedhousing, outlining the changesrequired. Deborah Shackleton,chief executive of Riverside, said:“Our aim is to stimulate debateand influence all political partiesto be bold when considering thefuture direction of housing policyin the run up to the generalelection and beyond.”

Riverside has teamedup with four fellowhousing associations to create The HousingFutures Network.

Liverpool’s MainBridewell has beensnapped up byWirral-based StudentsLettings Point.

The agents sold just short of 70per cent of the 87 lots offered atthe Crowne Plaza event, withmore sales expected post-auction. Sutton Kersh directorJames Kersh commented: “Theroom was very busy and therewere some great bidding warsgoing on.

feeling is that the market hasstabilised and investors aretaking the opportunity to growtheir portfolios”. Vacantresidential properties once againproved popular.

Residents in Garston have voiced oppositionto Jack Allen Holdings’ proposed waste-recycling centre near to their properties.

Should we allow waste disposal to take placenear housing and areas of regeneration?

A dumpingground?

yourmovemagazine.comHave your say//// YOUR VIEWS ON BIG ISSUES

Have your say atyourmovemagazine.com/forum

“No. Garston is regenerating, houses arebeing built, new businesses are starting,and a scheme like this risks stopping allthat in its tracks. We have some great newhouses at Cressington Heath near thedock and developers are looking to buildmore. Private companies looking to set upwaste facilities really need to take this intoaccount when looking for land to use.”

Paula KeaveneyLiberal Democrat campaignerin Cressington Ward

“No. Statistics show that the increasedvolume of traffic could well lead to moreroad traffic accidents, which is a problemfor the residents. The actual plans maylook squeaky clean but it’s theinfrastructure around the plant which isset to be a problem. This flies in the faceof what the council has been trying to doand puts the brakes on furtherregeneration.”

Johnny Santerfounder and director at The Stables, Garston

“Nobody wants to live near a wasterecycling plant, because of the problemsassociated with them, such as noise andtraffic. With the new housing andregeneration plans in Garston over recentyears really bringing the area up, it seemsfoolish to choose that site and I wouldn’tbe surprised if it had an adverse effect onall the surrounding area, in terms of livingconditions and house prices.”

Alan Binksmanaging director,HomeLets & HomeSales

“No. Without having seen this site it’sgood that Liverpool city council has heldout against mass incineration. But as Iunderstand it, it is a 25 year contract andwhat we need is a lot of smaller and moreflexible treatments for residual waste withshorter term contracts so that we disposeof less, reduce the amount of waste andincrease re-use and recycling.”

Frank KennedyFriends of the EarthLiverpool activist

“This is a radically different process thatwill treble Liverpool’s recycling outputsand divert 100k tons of our rubbish fromlandfill. Green technology should not be a source of nuisance to its neighbours.The process will take place inside aspecially insulated building at GarstonDocks, and the company must satisfystringent safeguards before they canobtain an operating license from theEnvironment Agency.”

How did you get into the property industry?I’d always been interested in houses and can see now whypeople spend so much time looking for a new home. I hadbeen doing accounts for an oil company and working parttime (alongside raising my family). I then began workingfor a property company in their accounts department.After having a taste of the business I began working fulltime, managing a lettings agency in Manchester. I reallyenjoyed the challenge and moved onto an estate agent’spart time before starting at the Lovell Homes Garston site,by which time I’d gained good experience of working withnew build properties.

How has your career progressed?I’ve been at Lovell for two years now and really enjoyworking at the Church Fields site. I’m my own boss so I’mgetting a lot out of this experience. Days here are alwaysbusy, interesting and varied and the people in Liverpoolare really friendly!

If you had to save items from your home what wouldthey be?I’d definitely grab the more personal possessions such asphotographs of the family together and my favouritejewellery pieces such as a beautiful ring and a pendant,which mean a lot to me. And, of course, our gorgeousCollie dog called Fonz!

What drew you to theproperty?I’ve lived in the area beforeand it’s really handy for themotorway. The style of thehouse was a big pull and it was also bigger than all theothers we’d seen. We wanted a new build and Keepmoat’sfinancial offers were an added incentive.

What’s the layout?The kitchen and the loungeare on the ground floor, withtwo spare bedrooms and amaster bathroom on the first.The second floor has themaster bedroom with an en-suite.

Do you have a garden?Yes there’s a front garden anddouble doors in the loungeleading to the back garden. Atthe moment there are a fewflags in front of the doors andborders at the back, althoughthere are no plants in there atthe minute! We’ve painted thefences and we’ll be decking itnext spring.

Tell us about the kitchen...It’s quite a large kitchen, with room for a dining table.The stainless steel appliancesare built in andwe have creamunits, withwood effectworktops andfloors.

British Gas engineer Daniel Blackall andgirlfriend Alison Whitehead recently movedinto a new build three bedroom townhouse at Keepmoat Homes’ Hamilton Placedevelopment in North Huyton. The couplesecure the property with Keepmoat’s sharedequity deal – paying for 75 per cent of theproperty, with the remainder not payable foranother 10 years.

How are the bathrooms laid out?There is a shower, bath, sinkand toilet in the master suite,which is decorated with smallmosaic tiles. We use the en-suite mostly, which has a bigshower and a great cupboardfor storage.

Tell us about the masterbedroom...We’ve finished it with an oakbed from BHS and a selectionof various oak chests of drawersfrom IKEA. I think the masterbedroom would have to be myfavourite room in the house.

And finally, what would beyour dream buy?I’d have to say the decking forthe garden. I’ve got it allmapped out in my head –stretching about two metresfrom the house, with a handrail all around. I can’t wait toget started on it.

For further information aboutKeepmoat’s Hamilton Placedevelopment, telephone 0151 728 1250 or visitwww.keepmoathomes.co.uk.

And the living room?It’s a square shaped living room, with lightbrown sandy coloured walls and a feature wall with dark brownand light blue wallpaper. The cream coloured carpets wereincluded with the house and our stone coloured sofa came fromBHS. There are pictures of our families and the TV on the walland we’ve decorated with a light fitting from Homebase withdamask shade and an oak sideboard from Next.

Little Boots Interview

Are you looking forward tothe Liverpool gig?Yeah I’m really looking forwardto it. I’ve got a lot of friends inLiverpool and I really love thecity, particularly around theLark Lane area. I’ve playedbefore at the O2 Academy and I really enjoyed it.When did you first becomeinterested in music?I started learning to play thepiano since I was five.You were in a band (DeadDisco) before your solo career took shape. Which do you prefer?Being a solo artist definitelysuits me a lot better. It allowsme to be a lot more creative.When you were sixteen youauditioned for ‘Pop Idol’.Would you warn peopleaway from the show after

your elimination experience?No I think if that’s what youwant to do it’s fine. It was justan experience but it wasn’treally for me. I was very youngat the time. The problem I havewith it is there’s just a lack ofcontrol and creativity involved.You’re not given a chance todisplay your musical ability.Do you have any advice forbudding young artists?Just to be really pro-active. Ifyou want something, get up anddo something about it ratherthan just talking about it. If youhave an ambition you just haveto keep it up.What inspires your music?The people that I meet and my experiences when I travel.Will you continue toexperiment with a mix ofstyles?

I’ll try anything, I just lovemusic. I don’t really care what kind.How much has your lifechanged over the past yearor so?It’s pretty different and it’scertainly very busy. I don’treally see friends and family as much.Do you enjoy living inLondon and being at thehub of things?I love living in London. I’vewanted to live there since I wasyoung. Unfortunately I don’tget to spend much time there!You travel the world withyour music now. How doyou find that aspect of theprofession?That’s one aspect of the job I don’t like much. It gets medown a bit I have to admit.

I’m off again tomorrow in fact!How did you find growingup in Blackpool?It was a good experience.There’s a lot to do and a lotgoing on. It’s certainly not abad place.Do you enjoy performingthere?I’ve only done one gig inBlackpool and it was great tosee all my family there. I’d loveto do another one. The onlyproblem is unless you’replaying somewhere really biglike the Winter Gardens therearen’t many suitable venues fora gig.What would be your dreamvenue?Probably somewhere likeBlackpool Tower. I think thatwould be very me!Who have been the biginfluences on your music?People like Kate Bush, DavidBowie and The HumanLeague. When I was younger I used to listen to people likeKylie and Brandy. It’s quite an eclectic mix really.Is there anyone you’d reallylike to collaborate with?I don’t really plan it out. Ithink you meet some peoplefor a reason and it might workout. You can’t really plan it out.What are your ambitions foryour career?Just to keep making music. I want to keep writing and I’d love to be involved increating soundtracks. I suppose my ambition is tokeep being creative and writeanother album.What are your interestsoutside of music?I don’t really have time for very much but I really likegardening. That’s become a bigpassion of mine recently. I justtake pleasure from seeing myfriends and all the people thatI’ve missed.

Autumn Schedule

I’m searching for wallpaper for the lounge. In the past I have just painted the room a neutral shade but the family have convinced me to be daring! I’m frightened of hating the end result.

I would have a look at the new collection by Cole & Son called Octave. Theyhave a beautiful soft, modern looking damask called Deco Damask. It’s reallyneutral and will introduce you gradually to the warmth of wallpaper.

Deco Damask

www.cole-and-son.com

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

My husband has recently been made redundant. We arelooking at this as a chance for a new start and are thinkingabout setting up our own business and working from home.With two young children, the house can be chaotic at times!We are considering turning the garage into a home office.What’s the best way to go about this?

Turning your garage into a live-in space is a really goodidea, a relatively simple job and reasonably affordable.Before starting, you need to look at the quality of thebuilding. Older garages may not be easy to convert as theymay have asbestos problems, however structures whichhave been built during the last 25 years should be fine.Firstly I would contact the building control department atyour local council ask them for advice. You will need toapply for Building Regulations and in some areas you willneed planning permission, especially if you wish to changethe exterior look by adding windows, doors etc. Otherfactors to look at before you begin the work are heating,insulation, plumbing lighting and security.

Deco Damask

I want to revamp my lounge and hallway before Christmas.The rooms need re-decorating and I need to order furniture,curtains and flooring. I’m desperately trying to save at themoment for all of this! When do you think realistically Ishould start the work?

It’s really good that you are already starting to plan for thiswork. I can’t stress enough that now really is the best timefor you to be proactive. You should at least be planning andmaking time schedules. Make appointments now for thework to be carried out by the decorator and flooringcontractor etc. If you’re having curtains made, contact yourcurtain maker and ask them to come and measure up, thisway you will know how much fabric to order. I wouldrecommend ordering the furniture you want now as manystores and designers have payment plans, which may helpyou spread the cost. Although this may sound exhaustingit’s the most direct way to make sure you have everythingyou want before Christmas!

MAKE THE EASY MOVE TO A STYLISHNEW HOME IN LIVERPOOL...MOVING to a stylish newproperty in a bustling areaof Liverpool can becomea reality for first time buyersthanks to a scheme allowingthem to own 100% of their newhome but defer 25% of the cost.Lovell Partnerships is offering Fairshareits shared equity scheme on a numberof properties at Kensington Square,which sits in the heart of rejuvenatedKensington, an area undergoinga major transformation.

Perfect for first time buyers, the schemeallows them to defer 25% of the purchaseprice for up to 10 years. It meansa three-bedroom home can become theirsto own from as little as £93,713.

Although shared equity is making the sitea haven for first time buyers, the widecollection of properties at KensingtonSquare ensures the development hassomething to offer all types of buyersfrom growing families to youngprofessionals, friends looking to share andeven downsizers.

“Kensington Square is a development thatseems to tick every box. The wide varietyof properties will fit most buyers’circumstances, plus it’s in an area whichis currently undergoing majorregeneration. The development is also nearto Liverpool University and the RoyalLiverpool Hospital making it a goodchoice for key workers and investors.”

In addition to a large number of propertiesbeing demolished and replaced by 500new homes, the regeneration of

Kensington will also bring with it newshops, community facilities and even moreenvironment-friendly features.

“my mantra hasalways been thatit’s the teambehind the name”

Ian Marsden is the lesser-spotted director at CapricornKitchens and no less importantfor his low-key approach tobusiness, which usually meanssidestepping interviewopportunities even when lunchis offered. It was a uniqueglimpse into a longstandingfamily firm then, which I foundupon meeting him, and a rareopportunity to learn about hispassions, his work ethic, andwhat makes him tick. CapricornKitchens, often referred to by the brand name, No NameKitchens has earned areputation, quite rightly, for its professional approach,winning contracts to whichmuch larger companies aspire.Now employing 25 staff, it’scertainly grown and evolvedover the years to find a winningformula, manufacturing,supplying and fitting kitchensboth to developers of newproperties and to the generalpublic across the city and thewider region. After beingdropped off by senior contractsmanager Ronnie Cowen, whoclearly gets all the best jobs, Ian joins me at a new additionto the city’s excellent restaurant

offer, The Italian Club Fish, on Bold Street for lunch. Set up in order to complement thepopular Italian deli, The ItalianClub, the ‘fish caffé’, is awelcome arrival and certainlythe ‘plaice to be seen’, withlarge windows, bright picturesof a pretty fishing villageadorning its walls, and acollection of black and whiteframed classic images fromScorsese’s ‘Goodfellas’ - just incase there was any mistakingthe Italian feel to the place.

Ian’s experience shows himthat business at its mostsuccessful brings diversepersonalities and skills together,and finds a level at which theycan operate. “The firm’s successis all down to the team, fromthe delivery team to thoseworking in the factories. Iwouldn’t want to take the creditfor what they do; my mantrahas always been that it’s theteam behind the name. Some of our staff have been with usfor 15 or 20 years, and have allsorts of different skills; theymight be starters, finishers, orgreat at resolving problems.The trick is to allow people totest out their capabilities to find

what they enjoy and whatthey’re good at, and allow themto develop,” he says. Ian startedwork at Capricorn Kitchensafter leaving school aged 16.Born and raised in Croxteth,his favourite subjects at schoolwere woodwork and metalwork,but it’s his business acumenand management skills whichhave powered his career. A self-confessed ‘control freak’,although an amiable one atthat, Ian usually enjoys a quicklunch, making today anexception.

Our main courses arrive; fishpie for Ian, which consists offish in a creamy sauce, toppedwith mashed potato andParmesan before being lightlybrowned on top. I opt for thespecial grilled fish of the day;sea bass served on spinach, with a lightly flavoured saffronrisotto. While the classic fishdishes went down a treat, it’sthe hearty portions and relaxedfamily atmosphere which belieits Italian influence. Overcoffee, Ian speaks passionatelyabout his take on life, andbusiness. When he’s notworking, retired cricketer Ianenjoys golf and lengthy summer

Table Talk

trips to Spain with family andfriends, but when he’s in theoffice, it’s all straight-talking,all systems go: “My father wasin the Marines and he workedhard, and that’s something I’mproud to say that he taught me,and which I want my daughtersto follow. I’m at that stage inmy life now where I only dowhat I want to, and keep thecompany I want to keep. Peoplemight disagree with me aboutthat, but I think I’ve earned the right.” It’s an honest, nononsense approach that keepsthe firm successful, and with itsintegrity uncompromised – andwho can argue with that?
