your move welcome
Ben Davis Property Management Comprehensive property management with integrity
Hello‌ Welcome to the New Year and another Your Move filled with property ideas to get you moving.
No tenant, No fee
We profile three fabulous properties to buy, and three to let, from stunning waterfront apartments to a beautiful family home in Woolton. On our help and advice page we explore the best deals on the market to part exchange your home, and how the government is helping first time buyers to get a foot on the property ladder.
Want to avoid costly rental voids?
We snapped those of you mingling with the Duke of Westminster at the official opening of One Park West, and also caught up with visitors to Le Corbusier exhibition in the Metropolitan Cathedral Crypt during the party period. For all the photos and the latest property news and ideas, see www.yourmovemagazine.com.
Let Ben Davis fill your property and he won't charge you a penny until the first tenant signs on the dotted line.*

On the market
This issue we feature three Merseyside properties to suit a range of buyers and tastes. Why not arrange your viewing now?
Renwick Road, Walton, L9
Agent’s view “This spacious semi detached property has been stylishly modernised by its present owners, and benefits from an excellent extension to the rear, a quality kitchen/diner and modern bathroom. Add to that a block paved drive and feature gardens and you have a really superb property. It’s located just off Walton Vale, so not only benefits from a local shopping centre, but also great transport links to the city centre and out to the M57/M62. Added to all that is the extremely great price of £149,950 and this has to be the dream property for someone.” Mike Black, director at Blacks Estate Agents To view this property now, call 0151 933 7077

The Dean, Huyton Hall Crescent, L36
Agent’s view “Seldom do properties of this calibre come onto the market at such a realistic asking price. The Dean is ideal for those seeking an exclusive private residence, as it is housed behind electronic gates and is ideal for the both the motorway and rail networks. Also, within the area, there are numerous private schools and amenities available to prospective owners. The house itself is deceptively spacious and the present owners have styled the accommodation to magnificent taste to include a games room, an amazing breakfast kitchen and luxurious bathrooms. This property represents great value for money and provides an opportunity to live the exclusive lifestyle to which we all aspire.” Sue Taylor, head of Keppie Massie Residential
£455,000 What’s on offer? A luxurious property of this standard is a rare find on the market; one to be snapped up without delay.

Commutation Plaza, Liverpool L3
Agent’s view
£219,950 What’s on offer? With views of St George’s Hall, this double bedroom apartment offers two levels of space in an exclusive area of the city.
“This apartment is one of a handful that very rarely become available. No other developments come close to offering this spectacular view over St George’s Hall, Liverpool Museum, Library and Walker Art Gallery. The apartment is presented on two levels and has double height ceilings, which give the impression of a vast space. On the lower floor is an openplan living area, a fully fitted, modern kitchen with integrated appliances, a large double bedroom and a bathroom. A solid wood staircase rises to a very large second bedrooom with en suite facilities. A patio door leads off the upper floor bedroom and opens on to a balcony, which easily caters for a patio dining table and four chairs. Close to Lime Street Station, the Empire Theatre, shops and the business district, the property also comes with secure undercroft parking. It’s definitely worth a view!” Shannon Conway, sales manager at King Sturge To view this property now, call 0151 242 6490

How to...
PART EXCHANGE YOUR HOME For homebuyers with a property to sell, part exchange schemes are becoming an increasingly attractive option in the current climate. At a number of developments across Liverpool and the surrounding areas, buyers are trading in their homes for a new build property in one easy move. We’ve done the legwork on the best deals around, to help you get moving… Part exchange schemes are ideal for homebuyers with a property they need to sell quickly. Waiting for a buyer to purchase your current property takes time, and co-ordinating the sale and the purchase of a new home can be a stressful and lengthy process, particularly under current market conditions. Part exchange schemes on properties at new developments are an ideal solution to this problem, where buyers can see their old home marketed and sold on by the developer.
Convenience first New build developments have an advantage for homeowners as it simplifies the chain of buyers, and so the possibility of a deal falling through is much lower than on the second-hand market. Miller Homes’ development of three and four bedroom homes at Connaught Green in Anfield, and of three bedroom houses and two bedroom apartments at Bridgewater Park in Netherley, offer a part exchange scheme. Properties at Cavendish Gardens in Widnes, including the five bedroom detached ‘Langley’ family home, are also available under the scheme. For more information, telephone Connaught Green on 0800 840 8526, Bridgewater Park on 0800 840 8522, or Cavendish Gardens on 0800 840 8547. At Valley Gardens in Netherley, Lovell is offering a part exchange scheme on three bedroom properties, such as the ‘Kingswood’ on sale at £129,950. For fuller details of properties at Lovell developments in the area and how to part exchange your home, telephone the sales team on 0161 905 1727.
Fewer fees At Gleeson Homes developments in Liverpool, part exchange has been proving particularly popular with buyers finding
that the deal has helped them to save money, by cutting legal fees and agent’s fees. Sales director, Julie Rayner, commented: “It is a very attractive proposition to buy a brand new home and not have the worry of having to sell your existing property. It saves a lot of expense as you do not have to find some of the fees often associated with a house move.” Julie adds: “Part exchange also allows the buyer to concentrate on all the positives of their new purchase, to plan ahead and get the equipment and excitement a change of home should usually bring. Being able to buy and sell in one easy move has plenty to commend it.” Part exchange schemes are available at Montreal gardens in Huyton, where two and three bedroom homes are for sale with prices from £99,995 to £149,995. For further details telephone 0151 482 0863, visit the site office from Thursday to Monday from 10am until 5pm or see www.gleesonhomes.co.uk.
Security with a spin McInerney Homes’ ‘Part Exchange FallBack’ scheme offers the buyer the market value price of their old home in part exchange for the new property. There’s also a twist, as the developer then allows the customer the chance to sell on their old property for a higher price and to pocket the difference. Sales manager Carol Nomdedeu commented: “This is a great way to guarantee the sale of your current home, and avoid gazundering, and possibly to make a little extra. Safe in the knowledge that the house is sold, it can then be marketed at a slightly higher value and, if a better price is achieved in the period before the roof is put onto the buyer’s new house, the extra cash is the customer’s to keep.” This scheme is available at a
number of developments across the north-west, including Runcorn and Warrington, and with prices starting from £100,000. For more information about the properties and the scheme telephone 01942 768 025 or visit www.mcinerneyhomes.com.
Easy moving George Wimpey properties at Manor Court in Prescot, at Chatsworth Gardens in Wavertree, and The Paddocks in Aintree are all available on what’s known as the ‘Easymover’ scheme. While this isn’t strictly a part exchange scheme, George Wimpey takes care of the estate agent’s fees and sells on the buyer’s current home, while securing the new property. At Manor Court, buyers find themselves a short drive from the M56, M62 and M58, and in easy reach of local amenities. For more information on the properties available here, telephone Yvonne in the sales team on 0845 671 1826. At Chatsworth Gardens, the secluded location is also well served by public transport into Liverpool city centre. Telephone 0845 026 5450 for more details of the properties available and, to see inside a new apartment at Chatsworth Gardens, turn to Movers on page 45. At The Paddocks in Aintree, just off the A580 East Lancashire Road, a show home is also open 11am until 5pm seven days a week. Telephone 0845 671 1832 for more information or, for details of all the developments using the ‘Easymover’ scheme, see www.georgewimpey.co.uk. Good luck! 9 – 22 January 2009 yourmovemagazine.com 35

A home of your own A pioneering home ownership scheme is helping to reinvigorate the property market on Merseyside. Own Place by Riverside Housing allows people who couldn't otherwise afford to buy their own home to become owner occupiers by bringing back into use properties that require significant investment. The properties are improved before being sold at a 25 per cent discount, with incentives for buyers to remain as owner occupiers for a minimum of five years. The scheme is particularly suited to helping first time buyers, who have little or no deposit, get onto the property ladder. John Wood, managing director of Riverside Housing, said: “The fall-out from the credit crunch has forced lenders to increase their mortgage rates and tighten their lending criteria but the beauty of Own Place is that because buyers get a 25 per cent discount they only need a 75 per cent loan to value mortgage.” The scheme is not only helping tackle the affordable housing crisis but to revitalise local streets and urban areas. Highly commended in the Excellence in Innovation category at Newheartlands' Strictly Regeneration Awards, Own Place was recognised as having made a significant impact by reducing the number of empty properties. Current prices for homes under the Own Place scheme start from £45,000 for a two-bedroom terrace inWavertree. For more information or to receive an application pack call 0151 343 1170, email enquiries@ownplace.co.uk or visit www.ownplace.org.

GOVERNMENT BOOST FOR PROPERTY MARKET
The government is investing more than £400 million into a housing scheme which will mean up to 2,200 first time buyers in the north-west can access affordable home ownership. Homebuy Direct is an equity loan, free of charge for an initial five-year period and can be used as a deposit. The loan can cover up to 30 per cent of the purchase price and will be part-funded by the government and the developer. Thirty-five developers have agreed to offer the scheme, which will also support the house building industry by identifying buyers for their new homes. First-time buyers whose household income is under £60,000 will be eligible to apply for the Homebuy Direct scheme from early 2009. Plus Housing is the Homebuy agent for the north-west and the first port of call for buyers wishing to apply for an equity loan.
Ben Clay, head of home ownership at Plus Dane Group, said: “HomeBuy Direct provides choice across a range of locations and property types and is available to a broad range of customers. The product is not restricted to first time buyers or key workers and other groups such as previous home owners who have experienced a relationship breakdown may also be eligible. “We’d always advise anyone interested in any of the HomeBuy initiatives to check with us to see if they’re eligible, as people sometimes assume they would not be when, in fact, they are.” The Homes and Communities Agency has approved more than 18,000 properties for inclusion in the scheme. The list of developments taking part can be found at www.homesandcommunities.co.uk or alternatively contact HomesHub on 0845 603 4559 or visit www.homeshub.co.uk.

Miller Homes will be helping homebuyers in Liverpool to start 2009 in a new home by offering two easy ways to buy at their Connaught Green development in Anfield. The MiWay scheme gives people the chance to own 100 per cent of a home for 75 per cent of the cost. Buyers pay 75 per cent of the price before they move in and then 25 per cent of the current market value of the property either when they sell or at any time within ten years. There's no interest payable on the 25 per cent and legal fees are paid. And the added bonus is that the 25 per cent is in effect a deposit so buyers will be eligible for 75 per cent mortgage schemes offering more competitive rates. With MiWay buyers can purchase a new home at Connaught Green for just £74,963 and a new three bedroom detached for just £169,950. The development in Anfield also offers a no stress, no hassle 100 per cent part exchange option and a choice of 16 property designs, from two, three and four bedroom homes to two bedroom bungalows and luxury two bedroom apartments with en suite facilities. Miller Homes' sales manager, Helen Toher-Horne, said: “Miller Homes' seven day part exchange offer is proving one of the best ways to move. Over 40 per cent of home buyers now prefer this option to facilitate a quick transaction and time a smooth move. Buyers won't be caught in a chain and customers don't have the stress of trying to co-ordinate the sale and purchase.” Connaught Green marketing suite and show homes are open from 10.30am to 5.30pm Thursday to Monday, located off Belmont Grove in Anfield.

The first housing development to be built by the lead Housing Market Renewal developer for the city centre north area is already one of the fastest selling in the developer's history. David Wilson's Dorrington Gardens in Everton has already sold three quarters of the properties despite not yet being finished. The development includes 69 properties consisting of well designed, high quality, two and two and a half storey houses with gardens and off street parking, as well as two and three bedroom apartments. Many of the homes have been snapped up by residents from the local clearance area and have been purchased with the assistance of the Home Ownership Advisors at Regenda, or allocated through LHT, the housing association partner for city centre north. Lead developer David Wilson Homes believes it's the fastest selling development in the north west. Shohreh Bowler, sales director for David Wilson Homes North West, said: “We can't believe how popular these homes are, especially considering the current climate. We are delighted to see that local people in Everton have faith in the work we are doing in the area and like what we are creating.” For further information on the range of homes available at Dorrington Gardens, visit the sales centre, open daily between 10.30am and 5.30pm, or call 0151 207 1768 or visit www.dwh.co.uk.

John Kerr’s VAT clinic John Kerr’s firm of chartered accountants has been pleasantly surprised at the success of its recent two day VAT clinic initiative. Following the Chancellor’s surprise reduction in the rate of VAT to 15 per cent, the West Derby firm knew that its clients would need help with overcoming the practicalities and problems this posed. Within two days of the change being announced, the firm was proactively contacting clients and interested parties with an open invitation to come along and discuss the issues face to face at the offices on Eaton Road. For those who chose to email their queries, a rapid response was offered with all issues cleared quickly so that the changes could be managed in real time. Amongst the issues raised were some concerning the timing of the VAT rate change, its effect on computer and retail till systems and whether the new rate applied to services provided last month but which were
only due to be invoiced in December. Of particular note was the impact of the changes on small businesses using the ‘simplified’ VAT David Glover Flat Rate scheme, some of whom have found themselves to be potentially worse off as a result of the Chancellor’s hastily introduced rule changes. Commenting on its success, partner David Glover said: “I’m proud of what’s been achieved in such a short space of time. Our clients appeared to be very appreciative of the continuing support offered to them during these challenging times.”

THE BEST OF ‘NEW LIVERPOOL’ ON SCREEN The highlights of Liverpool’s new architecture are to be showcased in a specially-commissioned film on the city’s big screen. The buildings featured include the FACT centre, Liverpool Arena and Convention Centre and the Unity tower, as well as the rebuilt Bluecoat and the eco-friendly St Francis of Assisi Academy in Newsham Park. The film has been put together by students at Liverpool Screen School, part of John Moores University, and highlights the buildings with images and conversations with the people who use and admire them. The daily screenings coincide with the exhibition dedicated to Le Corbusier, one of the pioneers of modern architecture, which is currently on display at the Metropolitan Cathedral until 18 January. The young film-makers were supported in the project by city-based architects Austin Smith Lord. Partner Alistair Sunderland commented: “Liverpool is renowned for its great architectural heritage. It is only right that in this year as European Capital of Culture, we should celebrate contemporary Liverpool architecture in this way.”

Salt of the earth
Salt gets a bad press these days for its impact on our health, but in earlier, happier times, salt was used as a preservative for meat and foodstuffs and, as the precursor to the fridge freezer, was certainly less polluting in the pantry. Nowadays, it also has some handy uses in the home, as an alternative to the numerous and costly items on sale that promise household cleanliness at the expense of the earth. A versatile mineral, salt provides an answer to many domestic dilemmas without creating an enormous carbon footprint. Sourced from mines or from water, it arrives in basic packaging in our shops and emits very few greenhouse gases in its production, as compared with other domestic cleaning agents. Try these ways to clean with salt... Cleaning chopping boards – Sprinkle salt onto board, scrub vigorously then rinse with hot water for a germ free finish. Stain removal – clean coffee and tea stains from china by rubbing with salt. Cleaning oven spills – sprinkle salt on spills on oven floor to prevent smoke and odour and make it easier to brush away spill when oven is cooled. Getting rid of brown spots from bottom of the iron – put some salt on waxed paper and rub the iron across, then polish lightly with silver polish. Cleaning dishes – if you run out of washing up liquid, add a tablespoon of salt to the water and rinse well afterwards.

Are our councils green enough? As Liverpool begins its Year of the Environment after coming close to bottom in a recent sustainable cities index, we ask whether local authorities are putting environmental issues high enough up their agenda.
The Green Party
Frank Kennedy Regional Campaigns Coordinator (NW) Friends of The Earth
Cllr Eddie Connor Knowsley Council
Andy Lucas business manager, Properti Group
“No. As far as I can see they’re placing the onus on us to do all the work by expecting us to wash and separate our recycling and even going as far as to consider policing how much we recycle now via chips in our bins. Instead of wasting our money on numerous bins and various initiatives to make us personally responsible for the environment, the councils should look at ways to make it easier for us to recycle. This could be by arranging one collection of all recyclable materials, which the council could then separate. Ultimately the responsibility for recycling should be on the council and not us.” “A straight answer is "no" - our local councils are nowhere near green enough. Now that Britain has adopted a target of an 80 per cent cut in CO2 emissions by 2050, an enormous effort is needed. Recycling targets are the tip of the iceberg. We need transport planning, decisions on housing and the future economic development of the region to be based on sustainable low emission industry. Transition Town groups are generating the kind of progressive thinking we now need. Greens in Liverpool are calling for Car Clubs as a first step to reduce congestion, reduce CO2 emissions and save people money.”
“It’s vital that councils, as major purchasers, buy only the “greenest” goods and services. I believe Liverpool, Sefton and Knowsley now use renewable electricity for at least some of their needs. All our homes and workplaces must become energy efficient. Councils have a big role in training and deploying workers for this – national government must fund it. Planners must place essential shops and services within walking distance of residents’ homes to cut car journeys. Waste policy is crucial, too. At the moment, all Merseyside authorities except Liverpool support building wasteful incinerators. Instead they should focus on eliminating waste, making sure all goods and packing are re-used.”
“As a 15-time winner of the prestigious Green Apple award, which recognises the most environmentally friendly councils, Knowsley is justifiably proud of its green credentials. A commitment to reducing the environmental impact of our operations and services has seen Knowsley reduce CO2 emissions by introducing bio diesel to its vehicles, monitoring energy use in schools and council buildings, running ‘green surgeries’ for staff and increasing use of recycled materials. Knowsley also introduced a successful new co-mingled waste recycling service, which has seen recycling rates in the Borough increase by 42 per cent.”
“I live in Liverpool city centre and I'm conscious of the need to look after the environment for future generations but don't feel the council are particularly prolific in advertising recycling services. Most of the 'green' initiatives I'm aware of have come via word of mouth – this indicates a gap in communication between the local authority and the public they are supposed to be serving. The council needs to offer more recycling services but also to publicise their offering so that the public are aware of how they can help to make our city greener.”

How did you get into property? I moved to London from Liverpool and was temping when by chance I saw a P.A job advertised at John D. Wood, the property consultants, and got the job. My employer was from Liverpool so I think that gave me the edge! I moved back to Liverpool to work on the Daily Post and Echo and was responsible for property advertising, having contact with estate agents and the property sales team. One of the team was setting an advert for Smith and Sons, which I thought would be a good career move.

your move movers…
What made you choose this property? I’d been searching for the perfect home with a good sized second bedroom for over two and a half years, but when I saw this apartment I just fell in love with it. Joan Dobson from Taylor Wimpey was really fabulous making sure everything went smoothly even though I was away with work just before I got the keys.
What’s on the walls? The carpets are cream and so I’m going to putting together a canvas using my own photography of the ocean in Bermuda, where I have some relatives, and from my travels.
How is it laid out? It’s all on the ground floor of the building and the hall is a quirky, unusual shape, enclosed with doors leading off from it. What’s your theme? It’s really light and airy as it’s all been freshly decorated in neutral colours, and I wanted to make the most of that. I’ve got lots of mirrors everywhere and crystals and glass, with small chandeliers for lighting and crystals on the curtain poles. It’s really gorgeous, and it’s all in shades of gold, cream and brown with silk and satin scatter cushions and lots of sequins.
Movers… Catherine Leyland, 28, is a teacher and creativity co-ordinator at a school in Litherland, and has just moved into her new two bedroom apartment at Chatsworth Gardens in Wavertree.
Tell us about the bedrooms… The master bedroom is decorated in similar colours to the main theme and it’s really luxurious, with gold curtains and gold and brown silk on the bed and for the scatter cushions. The second bedroom is decorated in teal and turquoise and it has a lovely ocean theme. And the kitchen… I have a grey slate floor, and all the appliances are integrated which is just brilliant. It’s really well designed and there’s loads of storage. My nan was fantastic and helped me choose the apartment, and treated me to all new appliances in chrome and black as a gift for moving in, as well as some fabulous diamante-encrusted oven gloves! What’s your bathroom like? It’s all tiled in mosaic style tiles, in black, white and grey, and I have a black candelabra in there so it’s a bit glamorous! My dad is really good at D.I.Y and he made me a gorgeous mirror feature with tiny mirrored tiles in the bathroom; he’s been such a fantastic help.
What’s in your living area? I have a two-seater and a three-seater cream leather sofas, and I’ll be getting some cut glass lamps I’ve seen in Laura Ashley which are beautiful. I don’t have a dining table and chairs yet so that’s my next job; I’m thinking of getting a glass-topped table or a table with a glass panel in it which I’ll put right under one of the windows.
Are there gardens for the property? Yes, there are some secluded communal gardens outside and set back from the road. There’s also your own parking space, and room for visitors to park which is excellent. The location is perfect What’s re t featu actually for frequent the bes roperty? p e h t buses into the city t ’s u it abo n as e kitche ned and centre, and it’s not far th e v lo I ll desig e with e from Allerton Road or w o s loung been Calderstones Park or and the scatter t, u o laid equined Sefton Park, and so all my s there’s always s; you do have the best n cushio for more of of both worlds here. room them!

THIRTIES THOUGHTS
PUZZLE PLAN I have seen a beautiful sofa in a local store, which I have been patiently waiting to buy. Luckily for me it has been put in the sale! I am ready to make my purchase but am afraid that it may be too big for the room. Could you explain to me how to draw a scale plan of the room so I can be sure that I am making the right decision? Drawing to scale is just a matter of careful measurement. First measure every wall in the room, making note of all doorways, fireplaces etc. Next simply transfer the measurements onto graph paper. You may find it easier and more accurate to do this using a scale rule. When you have drawn your floor plan, on a separate piece of paper you can repeat the same process. Measuring all the existing furniture in the room and plot the dimensions of your new sofa. I would then carefully cut out the various shapes of the furniture and play around with different layouts on your floor plan. This is a really good process to make sure that your sofa will fit the room perfectly, and will avoid you making any costly mistakes in the sales.
The property I live in was built in the 1930s and has some original art deco features. I would like to find a contemporary wallpaper to use in the lounge, which is also contemporary is inspired by this great era. Can you help me in my search? Harlequin has a new collection called Arkona Wallpaper which pays homage to the understated glamour and sheer sophistication of the Art Deco movement. The design ‘Deco’ reproduces the sinuous curves of the period and would be inspiring in a traditional setting.
SITTING PRETTY Our beautiful baby girl is just over two months old, and she has been really spoiled this Christmas with wonderful gifts. With the money that she has been given, we would like to invest in a piece of furniture but have no idea what! Could you help? Congratulations! Have you considered the option of investing in a Svan High chair? It’s an award winning contemporary, wooden chair, which is very practical and easy to use with an adjustable seat and footrest giving the perfect support for your child no matter how big or small! Once your child no longer requires the safety bar, the chair becomes the ideal seat for a toddler, bringing them up to the perfect height in order to sit with you and your family at meal times. As your child starts grows, the chair transforms into a unique dining chair that can be used for the rest of their life. I think it’s a great investment to make for your new baby and will give her a lifetime of wonderful memories.

VAT problems for developers in the credit crunch
Julia Casimo
Q. I own a small property company and have recently finished building a couple of new houses for sale. I’m finding it hard to sell the houses on, so I’m considering renting them out for a short time. I am registered for VAT and I reclaimed the VAT on the materials etc used in building the houses. I’ve read somewhere that renting the houses out could cause VAT problems have you anything to suggest?
Negotiator required to join an independently owned and operated letting and estate agency in Liverpool. Main responsibilities will involve customer relations (particularly customer registration, attending viewings and agreeing lets/sales) and managing a portfolio of rental properties (including advertising, tenant referencing, inventories, check-ins, inspections, renewals, check-outs and maintenance). To apply for this position or for further information contact Leanne Gaunt on 0151 256 1035 or forward your CV and covering letter to liverpool@northwooduk.com or 15/17 West Derby Village, West Derby, Liverpool, L12 5HJ
A. This is becoming more and more of a problem with the credit crunch. Many developers are considering letting out recently built properties while they wait for buyers to reenter the market and prices to stabilise. Unfortunately the VAT recovered by you while you built the houses could be put at risk of having to be repaid because of the VAT exempt rent received from the short term let. H M Revenue & Customs are aware of the problem and appear to be actively policing the building sector in the hope of recovering large amounts of VAT.
Q. Is there anything that can be done to minimise the potential VAT loss, I have reclaimed many thousands of pounds on materials etc? A. As with all of these problems it is important to take professional advice from an accountant experienced in VAT matters and certainly before you begin to rent out the property. We have assisted several businesses to find a way around the problem. With suitable advice and a properly structured reorganisation it is possible to avoid your company having to repay the VAT it reclaimed on the build whilst the property is let in the short term.
As with many decisions you really do need to take independent financial and tax advice.

your move talent in the city
Breaking into the catering world is a tough job for any aspiring chef but making a name for yourself at just 22 by gaining a Michelin star was unheard of until Aiden Byrne arrived on the scene. Learning his craft alongside some of Britain's finest chefs in top notch establishments such as The Dorchester, the Liverpudlian has gone on to achieve acclaim for his innovative and technical approach to cooking and modern take on some classic combinations. This month he leaves his post as head chef at The Dorchester’s Grill restaurant to concentrate on his own venture closer to his roots at The Church Green pub in Lymm.
★ Do you feel coming from a council estate in Kirkby made it harder for you to succeed in your career? It actually made me more determined to succeed. It probably affected my confidence a little because my contemporaries came from middle class backgrounds and had the financial opportunities I didn’t have access to, but that just added an element of frustration and made me push myself harder. And when I get in the kitchen my confidence comes back because I’m in my own little domain and that’s where I do what I do best. Where did you learn to cook? After I left school I did a City and Guilds qualification at Knowsley Central Tertiary College in Roby. Back then catering was a subject kids did if they weren’t doing well at school but I was there because I had fallen madly in love with cooking. While I was studying I spent weekends and holidays working in Stanneylands Hotel in Wilmslow for free. That experience was fantastic for my development because I practised what I learnt at the hotel back at college. We were being taught how to turn potatoes once and because I had learnt how to do it at the hotel all my class mates asked me to do theirs for them – which I did charging 5p per potato. What did you take from your time at The Dorchester? The Dorchester propelled me into an area I didn’t think I would be for a long time because it helped to raise my profile enormously and generated a lot of media interest in me. There was scaffolding up for about eight months while I was there and they attached a 20ft promotional poster of me to it, which obviously gave me a lot of exposure. I don’t think the publishing company who approached me to write a book would have done that if I hadn’t been at The Dorchester, so it definitely gave me more opportunities. What’s your signature dish? It’s difficult to create a completely new dish because most things have already been
done. Food is married in recipes because the ingredients complement each other so it makes sense to stick with tried and tested combinations. What I do is create my own interpretation of a dish and there’s plenty I’ve done already. One of my favourites is Beetroot Gazpacho with Vodka Jelly, which is a chilled beetroot soup that I serve with avocado and lime sorbet. You’re becoming a bit of a celebrity, do you think the media focus on celebrity chefs helps people understand more about food and gets them involved in cooking? My book is basically a story of how far British catering has evolved in the last seventeen years, which is the time I’ve been in the industry and I believe that has a lot to do with television. People watch celebrity chefs and they begin to feel more confident with their own cooking which in turn makes them more willing to experiment. There is so much more information out there for people who are interested in cooking and television is a much more accessible way to learn. What did winning the Michelin star mean to you? It means a hell of a lot to me personally but at the same time you're being publicly recognised for your talent, which is a great feeling. When I got my first one at 22 I received it at a ceremony at The Savoy, which was amazing. I was surrounded by all my heroes, chefs whose books I'd bought in the past. Brian Turner presented my award and said that I'd achieved something that he and most of the other chefs in the room would never have dreamt of at my age. That was so overwhelming for me; I had tears running down my face when I went up to collect the award. What do you hope people get from your book, Made in Great Britain? Maybe to gain a sense of pride in British produce by becoming more aware of what we have here and sourcing it and using it more. In a way, to do what I've done with this book, for them to get out there and find the people who are offering this amazing produce. We have some of the most
fantastic, beef and pork available to us but a lot of it is what's now referred to as rare breeds and it shouldn't be. Before the wars we were far better eaters but after rationing brought about the need for increased meat importation we've come to rely on sourcing produce from abroad when we should be making use of the offering we have here. What would you cook for someone you really wanted to impress? Roasted loin of veal with lobster tail, red apples and potatoes because it's a combination that works really well and the main ingredients are both very luxurious foods. It's just a combination that I really love and I know would work to impress. What are your plans for The Church Green pub and are you intending to open a restaurant in Liverpool in the near future? I want to separate the bar and the restaurant here in the pub and utilise the rooms upstairs to turn it into a bit of a boutique hotel. I really want to make sure I do it well and I'd imagine that'll take me around two years, by which time I'd like to open up two or three more restaurants in the area. When I find a suitable site I'll open a restaurant in Liverpool because I'd love to be the first restaurateur to get a Michelin star in the city, as it's never had one. So that would be a bit of a dream come true for me.

your move it’s my thing
When did you get into shooting? I first went shooting about ten years ago with some friends for the day, and we drove jeeps and mini-diggers as well. I remember taking to it straight away, and since then I’ve been a good few times. I’ll go with some mates I know through work and we’ll have a bit of a competition and some lunch and a few drinks afterwards. Why do you enjoy it? When I played football I was the goalkeeper so I was singled out, and I think I like that aspect of it. It’s also something you have to focus on to get right, and I like the pressure. Do you ever shoot live game? No, I’ve never done that and I wouldn’t do that really. Does it get expensive? It would if you bought all the gear, but I don’t have the time to go every weekend so I just hire what I need when I go. Saying that, I do have my own shooting jacket. When do you go then? It’s nice at different times of year. Just at the moment it’s quite chilly, but I like to be wrapped up and to go into the woods for the day. I’d go once a month if I had a bit more time.
It’s my thing Alan Binks is director of Homelets, an independent specialist lettings and property management agency, on Allerton Road, and also recently launched Homesales. In his spare time he enjoys clay pigeon shooting, and Your Move caught up with him at Catton Hall in Frodsham…
What’s the secret to doing it well? I’ve always had good hand and eye co-ordination, and you need a steady grip. What’s your favourite venue? Catton Hall is great, and I have been to some other places as well, but Catton Hall serve a nice lunch. What’s your favourite clay? There are so many, and some are a lot easier than others, but the ones that fly across really quickly are the hardest to get, but the most fun. What’s your best score? Just today, I’ve scored 21 out of 25, which isn’t bad! Some of the shots were said to be hard to get too. I think I’m just a natural!
Contact Homelets as a landlord or for a rental property on 0151 280 4047. Activities at Catton Hall include clay shooting, paintball, quad racing, trekking and biking, falconry and archery and can be purchased separately or as part of a corporate package. Telephone 01928 788 295.
Is it a break from the office for you? It’s a bit like work in that you need to be focused and determined and get your aim right, but it’s also a rest from the office, as you couldn’t do that in here.

NEW FORD FIESTA The Ford Fiesta has long been one of Europe's favourite small cars - a runaway success from first launch in 1976, it defined the then-new so-called 'supermini' sector and more than 12million Fiestas have been sold to date and it was a close second as Car of the Year 2009. George Hobbs.
Fact File Model Ford Fiesta TDCi Engine 1560cc Power 90bhp Transmission Five-speed manual Fuel 76.3mpg (combined cycle) Acceleration 0-62mph 11.9 sec Top speed 109mph
There's an extensive range of versions to choose from, petrol engines are the familiar 1.25 and 1.4 or an all-new 120bhp 1.6 Ti-VCT, and the diesels 1.4 and 1.6 TDCi units, including the specially-modified 1.6 TDCi Econetic, which emits just 98g/km of co2 and it’s road tax-exempt in the UK. Levels of trim range from entry-level Studio through to sporty Zetec S. The new Fiesta is 40kg lighter than the outgoing model, despite extra soundproofing and added safety features, and this helps to make it much more fun to drive than the rather disappointing outgoing model.
Though the Ford Fiesta shares its basic platform with the Mazda 2, the two cars feel quite different due to retuning and the Fiesta's even better to drive. Ford may not yet have confirmed an RS version, but in the meantime, the Zetec S is a performance drive. The 1.6 Ti-VCT engine offers 120bhp, 0-62mph in 9.9 seconds and a top speed of 120mph. Likewise the strong, refined 1.6 TDCi (90bhp). It's quiet by any standards let alone those of diesels in this class, and it'll do 0-62mph in 11.9 seconds and 109mph (the economy-modified Econetic will be a little slower, but not by too much). It's well-equipped, though: all versions have front, side and new driver's kneeprotecting airbags, with full-length headprotecting curtain airbags optional, plus three-point seatbelts for all three rear seats and Isofix child seat mounting points. It won't get much cheaper than this; Ford servicing and maintenance is affordable, insurance groupings are low, and the Fiesta's improved emissions put most models in low tax bandings. Your insurance bill will be low if you opt for a Fiesta: the entry level version 1.25 is in group 1E and even the 1.6 Zetec S will keep your bank manager happy with its group 6 rating. All models include the easy fuel system which means you won't have to shell out for repairs for any misfuelling disasters. There's a number of different interior finishes to choose from, depending on exterior paint colour. Always easy to sell on, the popular Ford Fiesta is popular with used buyers and while it doesn't hold its value quite as well as the VW Polo, it will give a good return at trade in, or if disposed of privately. The diesels will be the most soughtafter, but a petrol model with a sensible specification (don't go too mad on the options list) will sell for a respectable price too.

your move table talk

We offer a full management and maintenance service for our clients, and it’s all in-house
” Blakes Central Buildings, North John Street, Liverpool, L2 6RR Tel: 0151 243 2121
TABLE TALK BY WILL THORNE
Lucy Oliver interviews Carolyne Jones at Blakes A vibrant, zebra print and lime green brand of lettings in Liverpool has been offering fresh zing to the market, and two very experienced directors are busy behind the hoardings. Managing director of Zest Lets, Carolyne Jones, has worked in property for 15 years. She took a break to join me at Blakes restaurant in the Hard Days’ Night Hotel on North John Street to talk about the new venture she’s started with Julie West, also known as director of AMR Property Recruitment. In the luxurious surroundings of Blakes, and with an eye-catching photographic display of Hollywood legends in the background, it seems apt to profile Carolyne’s diverse career in Liverpool’s property market. For starters, she orders the grilled Bury black pudding with creamed leeks and poached eggs, while I opt for the baked goats cheese with sweet and sour peppers and a wild rocket salad, both of which arrive in hearty portions; the very best way to serve contemporary food. Carolyne deserves a break after a hectic few months starting up the business: “We’ve been really busy. In the first two weeks we had more than 40 properties on the book, which was really unexpected and brilliant.” It’s surely, in part at least, her unassuming attitude that has seen her property career
find such success. Always a popular agent in the firms where she’s worked, she’s covered all aspects of the business and shown a real work ethic: “I got into lettings when I was 21, and just got a real feel for it. Don Holmes was my mentor and he was fantastic; he taught me so much.” Later, Carolyne found that her own inclinations were leading her to take a different approach: “I would not just offer clients the keys to their home, I think it’s important to inform them about where they’re going to be live. When people have come to me after living in another city, I’ve tried to introduce them to the nightlife here, and given them what is practically a social events calendar! I think to get it right you need to tailormake your services. I’m trying to marry two clients, the landlord and tenant, so I need to spend time with both to make sure that it’s going to be a perfect fit.” Our main courses arrive and it’s certainly a marriage made in heaven. My braised oxtail arrives with mustard mash and carrots in a red wine jus, and Carolyne’s roast chicken breast with fondant potato, red cabbage and rosemary sauce is exceptionally tender and flavoursome. The diversity of flavour is also characteristic of the properties at Zest, as Carolyne continues: “Although we’re based in Bootle, lets aren’t parochial, and so we cover
Southport, Formby, Bootle, Crosby, the city centre and south Liverpool as well; Gateacre, Allerton and Aigburth to name a few. “The properties are so diverse, we offer a full management and maintenance service for our clients too, and it’s all in-house. When you’re letting a property, it’s not someone’s dream home that you’re selling to them, it’s quite often a temporary arrangement, which makes it all the more important that you offer an exceptional service.” Over a cappuccino to digest, I ask Carolyne about the intriguing brand, and it clearly owes its spark to the energy of both the directors: “At first I wasn’t sure if the brand was too bold, but now I love it. It was a brilliant cover on Your Move, and everyone has said it’s like a fashion statement. “I’m a lot more corporate in how I think and run things, and Julie is really creative and adaptable, so we complement each other really well in how we work.” That’s certainly a recipe with zest.

RIBA brings the work of the twentieth century’s most influential architect to Liverpool in the first major exhibition to be presented in The Crypt. Examining the key areas of Le Corbusier’s life and creative process, the exhibition is divided into three sections; Context, Privacy and Publicity and Built Art. The use of such a magnificent space in one of the city’s most extraordinary building creates a perfect backdrop for displaying the work of the creative genius behind some of the world’s most revolutionary designs.
