4 Dear Ferndown & West Parley residents, Spring is on its way! Lighter Edition 131 evenings, warmer weather, and the promise of an array of flowers to brighten up the day. Most of us love March and April, new beginnings, fresh air and spring cleaning of course. Time to clear out the old, make way for the new, renovate, build a loft Debbie & Stephen Corney conversion, fit a new carpet, with our son Hayden revamp the kitchen, feed the lawn, plant those bulbs and generally make the environment around us a better place to live in. Maybe there is someone inside our little magazine who could help give you more time for yourself? Then you can go for a walk, read a good book or plan your summer holiday, leaving all the work to the experts. Sounds good to me. The local trades people here would love to hear from you so please give them a call. Nellie is back on the road! She enthusiastically took us to “Monkey World” this month and excitedly adopted a 30 year old male orang-utan called Tuan. We had a monkey of a time, despite the very cold weather and were thoroughly entertained for several hours. If you have never visited then Nellie highly recommends it. Your spirits are somehow lifted when you leave. It must be all that playful swinging! The lucky winner of the wordsearch last month was Brenda Wilson. Well done and we do hope you enjoy your meal. Don’t forget that if you have a local club, society or group in the area and would love some free promotion, we are the people to call. If you have a business and would like to be more recognised locally, then we are definitely the people to call. We have excellent reviews and are more than happy to help you. Wishing you a youthful month of March and may the flowers bloom! All the Best,
Welcome...

Charity auction night for local animal rescue organisation With monthly vet bills alone of around ÂŁ6,000 and no government funding, Waggy Tails Rescue rely on the success of their local shops, collections and fundraising events in order to continue their work. Since the charity started in 1994, we have successfully rehomed on average 200 dogs a year and we would really like to continue this excellent work to provide our fantastic rescues with forever homes. We have organised a Charity Auction Night for Friday 19th May 2017. We have been very generously supported by Christchurch Harbour Hotel & Spa who have agreed to host the event for us. The evening will be free to attend and will see a number of wonderful items auctioned off for all the family. Items up for grabs include family days out to local attractions, meals at local pubs and restaurants, signed sporting memorabilia, hampers and much more. I have been amazed by the response of those who have donated including The Royal Collection Trust at Buckingham Palace. We will also be holding a Grand Raffle on the night which will also include fantastic prizes. Bidding starts at 7.30pm.
We would love to see as many people in attendance as possible. As well as raising much needed funds, we really want people to find out more about what we do, and how they can help in a variety of ways. If anyone would like more information, they can contact me on 07432 488666 or by email at fundraising@waggytails.org.uk or follow us on Facebook for regular updates. If any local businesses would like to contribute to the event, I would be more than happy to hear from them. Paul Chapman

Cloudy2Clear Announce Trusted Trader Partnership Consumer champions Which? have now joined the thousands of customers who recognise that Cloudy2Clear Windows really are a business that you can TRUST. The company which specialises in repairing windows which are steamed up, broken or damaged by replacing the panes – not the frames has received the coveted ‘Which Trusted Trader’ status after going through a rigorous accreditation process entirely focussed on customer service. Group Managing Director Marcus McGee believes that Which? have endorsed Cloudy2Clear’s long standing
company policy of delivering the highest standards possible at all times. ‘Our service is simple. If your double glazing has misted up we can replace the glass at a fraction of the cost of a new window, in any type of frame, and with a new 25 year guarantee. But it’s not just about saving people money, although that obviously helps. Whilst a number of tradespeople perhaps don’t focus on customer care as much as they should do, we make sure we turn up when we say we will, do the job the customer requires and leave their house as clean as a whistle. Locally Cloudy2Clear service the )HUQGRZQ area and
manager Justin Friel agrees that this approach is a major factor in his success. ‘The truth is that it’s not just the personal satisfaction that I get from doing a good job but also it makes good business sense. I get a huge amount of business from friends and family of people I’ve done work for, which just goes to show how much a little bit of effort is appreciated as both my customers and, obviously a body as nationally important as Which? now recognise.’ So, if your windows are steamed up, broken or damaged give Justin a call for a free quotation on 0800 61 21 118 and he’ll be happy to help!

Wildlife News
Talking about Wildlife...
Step into Spring What signals spring has arrived for you? Seeing a snowdrop perhaps? Or hearing the birds singing during the lighter evenings? The changing season from winter to spring is perhaps one of the most enjoyable of the year as it brings colour, and sounds and sights we all relish after the long dark, cold days of winter. We are encouraging all of our supporters this year to get outside and experience wildlife first hand, and spring is a good place to start. DWT has over 44 nature reserves in Dorset which are teeming with wildlife thanks to proper management of the habitat, so you have a very good chance of seeing a favourite species, or perhaps a new one! Here’s a list of species we challenge you to spot this spring. You don’t need to go far to see many of them – you may see them in your garden, parks, on a road side or on one of our nature reserves. 1. Bluebells – Perhaps one of our most famous and unmistakable woodland flowers – look for long and narrow, drooping leaf fronds and bending flower stems heavy with the nodding blue bells that give this flower its name. Can be seen in woodland and hedgerows. Visible from April – May.
Male Orange Tip

2. Cuckoo – Arriving in April, the cuckoo can be seen in many different habitats from woodland to heathland and coastal areas. Their familiar ‘cuck-oo’ call heralds the start of spring. Almost as soon as they have laid their eggs in June or July, they leave for Africa, so there’s a small window to see these birds. 3. Orange tip butterfly – Another sign that spring is arriving is seeing the orange tip butterfly emerges from April until July. They are found in hedgerows, farmland, gardens and parks. The female does not have the orange colour but can be identified by a ‘mossy grey’ pattern on the underside of her hindwings. 4. Cowslips – A cousin of the primrose, the cowslip is also an early spring flower. They’re a rarer sight across the UK due to habitat decline, but they can be found in traditional meadows, ancient woodlands and hedgerows in early spring in Dorset, coloured bright yellow with nodding heads! DWT would love to hear about any of your sightings this spring. Contact us on @Dorsetwildlife or facebook/DorsetWildlife with your photos and stories! Find out more about our nature reserves in Dorset at www.dorsetwildlifetrust.org.uk/ reserves. Sally Welbourn Communications Officer

Introducing the Jubilee Wine Circle The Jubilee Wine Circle is a great place for a bit of fun centered around wine. We try lots of different wines especially new ones to see what we like and don’t like. We also encourage wine making. We have two qualified judges in the circle as well as a host of members who have been making wine for years so if you fancy making wine there are lots of people who can help. Recently we have had tremendous successes at the South West Federation Show and the Wales & West Federation Show, the latter being a large national show where we won two prizes. But it’s not all about competing in shows! Last year we had an evening of Chinese wine and cookery to celebrate Chinese New Year. We also had a great Christmas Dinner complete with port to finish. We also had a banjo band and a whole host of different talks, quizzes and generally fun evenings. We meet at the Stapehill Village Hall on the first Friday of every month at 8pm. So if you like the idea of a sociable evening with a general focus on wine then please contact the Chairman using the details below and you’ll be made very welcome.

Providing the answers
to your legal questions
A Developer is interested in purchasing a piece of my garden, they have given me an Option to sign. What is this and should I sign it?
Alternatively, you can ask the Developer to enter into a Contract, conditional upon the plot getting the Planning Consent it requires. This protects you as the Seller and ensures the Developer buys the land at the agreed price if the right Planning Permission is obtained.
The simple answer is don’t sign any such Agreement without seeking specialist legal advice. An Option, gives the Developer an option to buy the land at a given price and within a given period. Almost invariably, they will wish to obtain Planning Consent before being committed and you will need to establish exactly how long they will have to do so. Except in rare cases, the creation of an Option will prevent you selling the property or re-mortgaging. In a falling market, there is also the possibility that the Developer will endeavour to re-negotiate the price at the last minute.
For Further information please contact a member of our Commercial team. Simon Nethercott
We are planning to buy a holiday home but have been told that we will find it difficult to get insurance as it is in a flood risk area. Will the Government Flood Re Scheme help me?
Until recently, high value homes were outside of the scheme, but the ruling has been overturned so as not to disadvantage “asset rich, income poor’’ families.
Flood Re is an agreement between the government and the insurance market aiming to provide affordable flood insurance and place a cap on flood insurance premiums. The policy obligates the government to invest in flood defences in exchange the insurance industry are to provide flood insurance to homes at risk. However, there is currently no limit on insurance premiums resulting in many homes which are at risk of flooding paying very high rates. UK Households pay on average an extra £10.81 through their home insurance premiums which is passed to a collective Floods Re fund to be used to meet the costs of flood damage.
Where part of the garden is being sold, it is also important to establish the terms of any ultimate Transfer Deed to cover rights for the passage of services and any required covenants. There is a lot to consider, so it is advisable to seek legal advice from a specialist Solicitor.
Homes built after 1st January 2009 and nondomestic properties will not be eligible. These exemptions pose a problem for developers, landlords, tenants and new-build home owners. The motivation behind the exemption is to stop developers taking risks on properties that may potentially flood. For further information please contact a member of our Conveyancing team who will be happy to help Merylin Martin you.

Talbot Village Trust funds construction of new Spinal Injury Centre in Dorset The local grant giving charity, Talbot Village Trust, has donated £100,000 to the national charity Livability Holton Lee to fund the construction of its new Spinal Injury Centre in Dorset. The new Spinal Injury Centre is located at Livability’s pre-existing Wellbeing Discovery Centre, Livability Holton Lee. The centre will provide respite and rehabilitation services to people suffering with a spinal cord injury. The funding received from Talbot Village Trust has created a fully accessible residential space with a kitchen, en-suite rooms and therapy gym. A dedicated team of specialist practitioners will also be on site to offer personalised packages of rehabilitation, and support to people and their families with spinal cord injuries. Lisa Hemsley, assistant director of fundraising at Livability, said: ‘‘Livability is extremely fortunate to have Talbot Village Trust as one of its supporters. Over the years they have given generously to a number of projects, many which would not have become a reality without their generous funding.
Shaftesbury, said: ‘‘We are proud to have donated over £438,000 in the last 16 years to Livability. We know first-hand that through a wide range of disability and community focused projects, Livability works to tackle barriers in people’s lives. ‘‘The opening of this state-of-the-art Spinal Injury Centre really excites me. As someone that has sustained and recovered from a spinal cord injury, I know personally why the need for good rehabilitation is vital. It is always a truly inspiring experience to visit Livability and see the professional support and opportunities given to enhance people’s lives through the wellbeing on offer at Holton Lee.’’ Talbot Village Trust meets biannually, and will be accepting applications for funding from both previous and new applicants in the area before the Trustees meet again in May. Please visit www.talbotvillagetrust.org for more information.
‘‘The Spinal Injury Centre at Livability Holton Lee, will have a positive impact on the lives of the people we support thanks to Talbot Village Trust.’’ Talbot Village Trustee, Nicholas AshleyCooper, 12th Earl of

Adventures of Nellie

The Adventures of Nellie
The Dorset Publications Camper Van Nellie is back! Having had quite a rest for a couple of months and a new ‘ticker’ (alias alternator) fitted, Nellie was raring to go. In fact she was chattering at the bit and came screeching to a halt when she suddenly had the idea to take us to “Monkey World” near Wool in the Purbecks. We were there many years ago when Hayden was just a baby in the pram. Oh boy that seems a long time ago. Saturday morning. There were flurries of snow! Really, was Nellie going to take us out in that? Yes, is the short answer. When Nellie decides on something wild horses would not stop her, certainly not a teeny-weeny drop of snow. She even has a snow mode for emergencies! Ever known anyone like that? Hayden was none too impressed, but boys of 13 are not always easy to please as we know. Nellie was very persuasive and since I was driving Hayden came along, a ‘little’ reluctantly. It was freezing! I can’t blame many of the monkeys for hiding in their shelters, but there were some out and about for us to see. The whole complex has expanded so much. I couldn’t believe it. What a
The playful lemurs run around at your feet
Nellie arrives at Monkey World great place to visit, whether young or old. Nellie would have loved to try the fantastic climbing frames and hang off the ropes that were intended for the children, but we did manage to stop her. Ladies of a ‘certain age’… there is certainly no holding them back at times! Must be seeing those playful monkeys and baby Orang-utans that did it. They are so cute! One larger chimpanzee got suddenly fed up with something, angrily showed her teeth, picked up some earth and ran off, throwing the soil furiously in the air while screaming loudly. It was very dramatic, a bit like Nellie when she gets overheated (told you about women of a ‘certain age’…) and starts steaming at the bonnet. It was probably a female chimp, or am I being unfair? Men, don’t answer, it is best not to as it could be taken against you. As if we would ever do that! Monkey World is an ape rescue centre, and does a terrific job in saving and protecting over 250 primates of more than 20 different species. It is in fact the largest rescue centre in the world set in a 65 acre park! And it is right here in the South.

39 My Gran all the way back in 1950 had wanted to buy a tiny marmoset monkey. In the local ‘Hull Daily Mail’ one was advertised, so Gran enthusiastically parted with a lot of money. Needless to say is was a hoax and she never saw the monkey. (Even in those days you had to be careful.) I remember as a child being disappointed that she never had one. Monkey World salvages such pets which have been neglected, kept in unnatural conditions and generally mistreated. All of the primates have had difficult circumstances to endure and are now in a safe haven. How wonderful. Nellie was very taken with this and decided to adopt a monkey herself! That didn’t mean take one home of course (though we did buy a great toy look-a like that now sits proudly on Nellie’s back seat), but it does mean that the money we gave helps with all that is needed to rescue and rehabilitate the primates. We received our photo of “Tuan The orang-utan” this morning in the post! Nellie was so excited. Tuan is a rather large 30 year old orang-utan and has a love story that rather appealed to Nellie. Tuan was found roaming the streets in Taichung City. He had obviously been brought up with humans and once settled
Tuan, Nellie’s adopted Orangutan
Nellie with her toy “Tuan” lookalike a year and a half later (after all his medical tests were complete) in Monkey World, he was introduced to Amy who was never interested in him. Ahhh I hear you say… but wait… RoRo however had been watching Tuan through the mesh and once the doors were opened, she literally fell into Tuan’s arms and he wouldn’t let go! ‘Somehow’ they now have a wonderful son called Gordon who loved to swing on the ropes and slap his dad on the head when he was young, but these days being older, lives in his own enclosure. RoRo still lives with Tuan, but Tuan in fact has another special lady in his life, Lucky, who totally won his heart. They are inseparable. Tuan himself is a bit of a character and loves to make people laugh by blowing raspberries and clapping his hands. You can see the appeal. Nellie highly recommends a visit to Monkey World. Hayden really enjoyed it too! Now Nellie has adopted Tuan, she can visit as often as she likes for a whole year. For £35 we think that is great value for money AND she helped the monkeys! Please visit the website www.monkeyworld.org or call free phone 0800 456600 with any enquiries, and do mention Nellie! Where will she takes us next? By Debbie Corney

Step into Spring with Swain & Rands! With the lighter evenings heading our way, we’ll soon be looking forward to spending time outside in the Spring but with the unpredictable British climate, why not bring the outside in by adding a new conservatory to your home? And not only will you be adding more space to your property but you’ll also be adding value to the resell price too! Leading home improvement company, Swain & Rands are experts in advising clients on the design and aesthetics of adding a conservatory to any home. “We have a range of conservatories to suit all properties from new builds to more traditional houses. Our designers ensure that not only is the character of the home enhanced but also the value.” remarks Swain & Rands’ Director Darren Rands. “The key to adding significant value to a home via the addition of a conservatory
is to ensure it’s built with quality materials and provides a lot of light. Done correctly, a conservatory could increase the property value by five per cent, which can be as much as £13,500 based on the average price of a semi-detached home in Dorset.” If garden space is limited, you can still bring the outside in and make the most of your outdoor space through the addition of bi-fold doors. The modern alternative to classic French or sliding doors, cleverly designed and aesthetically pleasing bi-fold doors are energy efficient, provide better security and safety, and when constructed from aluminium, are maintenance free. Swain & Rands are one of Dorset’s leading home improvement companies. Specialising in doors, windows and conservatories, they have over fifty years’ combined experience and offer the very best prices from day one, no gimmicks.

Visit a Dorset Garden and Do a Good Deed! Come rain or shine, from the earliest snowdrops to the last autumn leaves, there is hardly weekend anywhere the length and breadth of England or Wales when there won’t be a yellow ‘NGS Garden Open Today’ sign or poster to tempt you with the promise of horticultural treasures, and eighty of those gardens are here in Dorset. Those in the know will recognise the flash of yellow on a lamp-post or in a hedge, but many people may not understand exactly what the NGS does, or how visiting a garden can be such a force for good. For more ninety years, thanks to the generous spirit of garden owners and hard-working volunteer teams, the NGS has been quietly making a difference to thousands of lives. In the last ten years alone it has given away more than £25million. So how and when did it all begin? The idea of raising money from the public by charging a shilling a time to visit private gardens was first suggested by the Queen’s Institute for Nursing in 1926. The 609 gardens which took up the challenge and opened the following year, (led by Sandringham, whose royal owner, George V, was keen to support the scheme in memory of his mother Queen Alexandra) read like a roll-call of the great houses and gardens
of Britain. Ninety years later the organisation which became the National Gardens Scheme continues to focus on nursing and caring charities. These include Marie Curie Cancer Care, Macmillan Cancer Support, Hospice UK, and The Carer’s Trust. Last year more than 3,800 gardens in England and Wales opened for the NGS, and three quarters of a million visits were made to them, raising a staggering £2.6 million for its good causes, to which Dorset contributed over £100,000. Each county is run entirely by its own team of volunteers, with a small national headquarters near Guildford, and fully 85% of the money raised goes to the various charities, so as you pay your entrance fee, you can be sure that nearly all the money will be going to those in need.
Each NGS garden offers visitors something different. Some are part of large estates, others in small courtyards. They can be in the depths of the countryside, or in the heart of town. But from the small and quirky to the big and grand, they each wait to be discovered. You can meet the owners and ask questions about planting, design or wildlife, and see what magic they have managed to coax from their soil, before relaxing with a cup of tea and a slice of home-made cake to round off the day! So next time you find a tempting garden in the NGS booklet (available in garden centres, libraries or tourist information offices) or come upon a yellow sign, stop for a while, and enjoy someone else’s hard work and expertise – whilst knowing that every visit makes a difference to the life of someone needing care or support. Four gardens in Purbeck will be opening for the NGS this year. They are Knitson Old Farmhouse and Puddledock Cottage near Corfe, Heron’s Mead in East Burton and The Hollow in Swanage. (For details of these, and all the other Dorset gardens, pick up a free booklet, visit www.ngs.org.uk or download the NGS app.)

Gardening Tips
On Your Plot Getting the upper hand Spring should really be on its way by the end of this month and there’ll be plenty of jobs to keep you busy on your plot. There’s nothing quite like sowing seeds and the thrill of watching those first tiny seedlings appearing just a week or two later. Weather permitting the soil should be warm enough to be sowing outdoors in March. Your new seedlings will need all the help that you can give them if they are to flourish so don’t forget the weeding and pest control too!
Jobs for March :-
• Prepare beds for sowing by raking level when the soil is dry enough. • Get a supply of containers and fill with compost ready for sowing (supermarket plastic trays containers are handy to reuse for this!) • Make sure you have all the seeds you need and sort them into the order that you’ll sow them in. • Plant first early potatoes later in the month. • Keep on top of the weeding and pest control. • Sow carrots, peas, parsnips, lettuce and radishes
There’s no doubt that the weather during the first part of the year lived up to our expectations of a month of extremes - with mild temperatures and homes and gardens hammered by incredible rainfall. Hopefully March should see the weather settling down and Spring truly starting to emerge. Most seed packets give you some guidelines as to which month/or months are best to sow in but personally I think that it’d be a lot more helpful if they gave a little information about the temperature required, not to mention just how long germination is likely to take. Soil temperatures of at least 6°C are needed for most seeds - if you don’t want to guess at this you can get a soil thermometer to check. Don’t forget that by using products such as fleece, or cloches, over your beds you can raise the temperature. Some seeds, such as parsnips, are notoriously slow to germinate taking up to 3 weeks for seedlings to appear - a good idea with slow starters like these is to sow quick growing crops such as radishes on either side of the row. This will
help mark the rows out until your parsnips appear and the radishes will quickly be grown and ready to harvest. Take note also of the depth that the different seeds should be sown at - too shallow and they’ll either blow away or be eaten by the birds, too deep and you may bury them alive! Try to space seeds evenly, though if you sow too many you can thin out the weaker seedlings after they appear. Do remember that with many crops it is better to sow just a few and then sow again in a few weeks time to avoid having too many ready to harvest all at once. Salad crops such as lettuce will bolt if left too long, and other vegetables which may have a short harvesting period can be enjoyed for much longer if you save the seed and sow a few in succession every few weeks. As the soil warms up for your new crops so it also warms up nicely for the weeds about now! For many people part of the attraction of growing your own is eating chemical free produce and organic methods of pest control will therefore be preferred. Little and often is best - take a quick walk around the veg patch each morning and hand pick any emerging weeds. Hoeing also works well and if you are careful not to let weeds set seed you’ll avoid a long-term problem. Of course the situation isn’t helped by the fact that your patch is likely to have large amounts of bare soil on it between widely spaced rows at this time of year. Some crops, such as potatoes will obligingly grow to ultimately block out the light and deter weeds, but if you’re really having problems then think about putting down a thick, organic, mulch to cover the bare soil. Slugs will also emerge to attack your young seedlings - there’s no end of organic ways to do battle from hand picking at night and beer traps to watering in nematodes. Strike early and gain the upper hand!

Money Saving Tips
Martin
LEWIS 0RUWJDJHV
The biggest single personal financial risk in 2017 is that mortgage rates will rise rapidly. This isn’t primarily about UK base rates, set by the bank of England, it’s far more about the City’s long term prediction of interest rates – which new cheap fixed and long term variable rate deals are set based upon. Mortgage rates are near all-time historic lows and have been for a couple of years, and we’ve got used to that. Yet there is a plausible chance that 2017 is the year that will change. We’ve already seen some cheap deals such as HSBC’s 0.99% two-year fix being pulled. The five-year swap rates have increased from 0.35% back in September to 0.9% now – and we’re already seeing longer fixes start to get more expensive on the back of this. Of course, there’s no certainty here. Yet UK rates are so cheap that even if things reversed and they dropped again, the likely gain to mortgage holders would be limited. But if they did rise, the cost could be huge. The savings available right now can be huge, like Kperat’s who emailed: “Fixed at 1.24% for 2 yrs, reduced term to 13 yrs without paying much more a month. Will be saving about £20,000 even after fees. Thanks.” So, this is my clarion call for ALL mortgage holders, to check NOW if you’re on the cheapest deal, and, if not sort, it. Here’s what to do to find your cheapest deal. How much could I save? If like many people, you’re on your lender’s standard variable rate (SVR) – the default rate most fixes and trackers revert to when the intro deal ends – then the savings can be huge. Most SVRs are at 4% or higher. Yet the cheapest two-year fix is just 1.2% (you’ll need a top credit score and it’s got a big fee). Five-year fixes start at around 1.8%. All, of course, depend on how much of your home’s value you’re borrowing. So, someone moving a £150,000 mortgage from 4% SVR to a two-year fix at 1.2% would save £4,000+ over two years, even after fees. Quickly find what deals are available For an easy benchmark of what’s available in your circumstances, start with a comparison site that includes all deals, including ‘direct only’, which aren’t offered by brokers. Full market comparisons include my own www.MoneySavingExpert.com/ mortgagebestbuys, and www.totallymoney.com’s mortgage tool. Finding a cheap deal isn’t the end – you need to get accepted The days when lenders would fling out deals to all and sundry are long gone. Getting accepted is now the challenge. There are two key elements to this:
• Is your credit score good enough? Your credit history is a huge part of whether you’ll be accepted for any type of credit, including a mortgage. So take precautions. Avoid any applications that leave a footprint on your file – such as credit cards, contract mobile phones or monthly car insurance – in the few months before applying for your mortgage. Never withdraw cash on credit cards or take payday loans. • Are the repayments affordable? For the past couple of years, lenders haven’t just checked if you can afford the monthly repayments at the current rate, but they also stress test affordability if rates were 6% or 7%. Crucially, this doesn’t only apply to new mortgages, it’s also for re-mortgages too (which is ridiculous and, on an aside, I am campaigning against this). So, if this is a problem, it’s important to reel in your spending months before applying. Lenders will want evidence of income, big bills, expenses and even eating out. Use a mortgage broker to match your situation to a top mortgage. The information about what different lenders are looking for isn’t available to the general public. But it’s something that most mortgage brokers have - and, of course, their job is to find you the best product. So, they’re a good way to work out what the best deal available to you is. Yet do ask if the broker will check all deals available to them and not just a panel of lenders. Also, check how much it will cost and use a qualified one. Some phone-only brokers such as www.LandC.co.uk are fee-free. If you want face-to-face help, ask friends for a local recommendation or find one via www. unbiased.co.uk or www.VouchedFor.com. Fix or variable rate? A fix’s advantage is you get price and budgeting certainty that the rate won’t move for a set time, whereas variable deals move with the UK interest rate (and sometimes just on the provider’s whim). Generally, you pay a little more to fix, but not much. Ask yourself how much you think rates will rise over the period. If safety’s what’s important to you, err on the side of fixing, and fixing for longer. Right now, with fixed deals being outrageously cheap, it’s great time to do it. Got savings? They could get you a better mortgage For this, you need to find your current loan-to-value (LTV) – the proportion of the value of your home you’re borrowing, so £80k on a £100k property is 80% LTV. At every 5% LTV threshold, from 95% down to 60%, deals tend to get better, so a little extra can have a big impact on your rate. For example, if you’ve a £150,000 home, and want a £137,000 re-mortgage, that’s a 91% LTV, and the top five-year fix is 3.98%. Yet use £2,000 of savings to reduce the borrowing, and you’d be at 90% LTV – where the top five-year fix is 2.54%, saving c. £1,100/year in payments. @MoneySavingExpert

Auto Biographies Motoring
All-New Audi Q2 By Tim Barnes-Clay, www.carwriteups.co.uk
First impressions when approaching the new Audi Q2 are good. Like all Audis, it manages to stand out, even if it doesn’t try anything spectacular design-wise. In the more daring ‘Vegas Yellow’, it makes quite a visual impact though, and is unmistakeably Audi in appearance. The large grill and muscular body are complimented by a sloping roof line and contrast C-pillar which – in S-Line trim at least – is nicely offset in metallic silver. Sadly, on the smallest alloy wheels it looks puny, so bigger is better there. The interior is more of the same, being almost identical to that which you’d find in the A3 hatchback. That’s no bad thing though, as Audi makes some of the most pleasant interior spaces on the market today, and feels decidedly upmarket if it’s kitted out with a range of technology options, such as the virtual cockpit. We tested the Audi Q2 in 150PS 1.4-litre petrol guise. It provides plenty enough power for all types of road, being capable of overtaking on motorways and A-roads, yet remaining suitably quiet when pottering through towns and villages. If your annual mileage is quite low, this is a fine engine to go for, as you’re unlikely to need anything more than this. While the engine is quiet, the S-Tronic automatic gearbox is a little jumpy at low speeds, and tends to put too much torque through the wheels when trying to move off. This results in some minor wheel-spin. The S-Tronic unit has never quite been up to the high level of BMW’s eight-speed unit, but it is far from a bad gearbox, and, when up to speed, works quickly and seamlessly. Our petrol test car was the S-Line, fitted with sports suspension and larger alloy wheels, and we found it to be slightly too firm for our liking. Being a ‘Q’, you get into it expecting a smooth ride, but you get something more like a firm hatchback than a compact SUV. We suspect Audi’s excellent seating helps offset this a
little. If the trade-off was entertaining cornering and impressive dynamics, we’d be content, but it isn’t exactly fun to drive either. The steering is rather numb and it doesn’t feel particularly settled going quicker around corners, though it doesn’t feel out of its comfort zone either. Audi was keen to point out that it doesn’t skimp on technology with the new Q2; it uses the same tech in the fresh compact SUV as it does in its higher-end products, like the TT sports car or Q7 SUV. The stunning virtual cockpit is an option once again, and you can also get such goodies, such as adaptive cruise control, heated seats, a power operated boot, and Audi’s parking assistance system. The problem is, almost these luxuries cost extra. Audi has made a big deal about the new Q2 starting at under £20,000, yet it also points out that it expects only 10 per cent of people to buy the lowest ‘SE’ trim level. The petrol model we tested came in at £5 over £34,000, and, even for a test car, that’s an astonishing amount of money. Look to spend between £25,000 and £30,000 and you’re probably on the right track with the new Audi Q2. It’s a high-quality product and looks great, but it doesn’t inspire us to spend more on it than a normal Audi A3, and the Q3 SUV isn’t far off price-wise. It doesn’t matter one bit what we think, because wealthy people love something a little bit different with a respected badge on its nose. It might not be perfect, but it will sell, and sell well. The new Q2 is going to be another Audi success.
