We also have pages of local community events in our What’s On section. Too many to mention here – but there’s something for everyone, I’m sure. If you have an open or community event coming up, you can advertise it for free in our next edition.

Robert Pallant Brings Stylish German Bedrooms To The Fylde Coast Robert Pallant Designs have over 30 years experience in the design, supply and installation of bedrooms, kitchens and living spaces. Their refreshing approach is to ensure that each unique design is individually tailored to suit the client’s particular needs and budget, down to the very finest of details.

W

e take great pride in the fact that our reputation is built on a solid foundation of quality, innovation and service and we constantly strive to create visually stunning yet functional environments for each of our valued clients. We offer a very personal service, and really listen to the customer. I deal directly with the customer throughout the process and then hand over to my fitting team – the twins, who have worked with me since starting out 30 years ago.” – Robert remarks.

The new bedroom showroom (opened only last week) houses the latest trends in bedrooms. All of the bedrooms supplied by Robert Pallant Designs are made to order from top German manufacturer Nolte Delbrück, and offer superior quality, form and function.

Robert added: “Nolte Delbrück are one of the top German bedroom manufacturers, they are a fourth generation family run business with whom we have a great working relationship. All orders are tailored down to the very last detail. The collection includes bedrooms designs for all, from traditional through to contemporary styles, from solid built free-standing to fully-fitted units.

22

The perfect bedroom is complete with the inclusion of lighting, fabrics, curtains, blinds, cushions & more. Robert for many years has teamed up with local fabrics designer Susan Evans. Robert added “Susan came on board when we collaborated on The Raithewaite Hall Project in Whitby - 8 cottages with the Spa Hotel. We now use her for all our client’s bedrooms & kitchens. Susan offers an unbelievable choice of stunning fabrics and designs to compliment and complete your room with style.

Robert looks forward to welcoming existing and new clients to his showroom – your dream bedroom is waiting for you!

Money Matters

Mortgage advice

By Martin Lewis

T

his is a crucial warning for anyone with a mortgage. Mortgage rates are at historic lows, but the window to take advantage looks to be slamming shut. The Bank of England Governor has said he believes UK interest rates will rise from their six-year slumber at 0.5% before the end of this year.

If that happens, today’s rates will look cheap as chips. So everyone with an outstanding home loan should be checking now to see if they can do better – and possibly lock in at a dirt-cheap rate ahead of possible rises.

The potential savings here are huge here’s a tweet I got from Christopher on the back of warning about this. “Sorted - my monthly repayments fell from £785 to £533.” So let me run you through the 8 things you need to know.

1. Check your current deal.

A mortgage is the biggest expenditure most people have, so I’m always slightly surprised that when asked, not everyone knows their rate and details. Check now that you know… a. The current rate: And monthly repayment and amount outstanding. b. Type: Is it a fix, tracker, discount or SVR (standard variable rate, ie, bog standard bank rate)? c. Deal deadline: If it’s a short-term deal, such as a two-year fix, when does it end? d. Term: How long is it, for example, 25 years, and when it must be fully repaid by. e. Penalties: Are there any penalties if you repay or leave early? f. Your loan-to-value (LTV): The proportion of your home’s current value you are borrowing. As an example, £80,000 on a

£100,000 property means an 80% LTV. The lower the LTV, the better deal you can get, so if your home’s increased in value you may gain, even without other changes (both Nationwide.co.uk and Halifax.co.uk have tools showing the rough change in prices in your area).

If this is all gooblydegook, my free printed www.mse.me/remortgageguide booklet can take you through it in detail.

2. Benchmark your cheapest deal at speed.

Recently we’ve seen two-year fixed deals (for those with low LTVs) plummet to almost one per cent - that’s unthinkably cheap and longer fixes and variable deals are at or near historic lows too.

Yet a host of factors affect what your cheapest deal is, the easy route’s using a comparison site. Just plug in your home’s value, the amount you want to borrow and other details and it should list what’s likely to be available to you.

Some sites only list deals available to brokers, missing out some lenders, including HSBC, Tesco Bank and First Direct. So it’s worth checking a comparison site that includes direct-only deals. These include my own mse. me/mortgagebestbuys, and totallymoney. com’s mortgage tool.

3. Fees can be £1,000s - factor them in.

The smaller your mortgage, the bigger the impact fees have, especially for mortgages under £100,000. This can skew which is cheapest for you.

So you should always incorporate the fees – do this by spreading them over the fixed or

Business & Finance tracker period (as after you may shift again to another deal). Eg, £1,000 of fees over two years is £1,000 / 24 = £42 a month.

To help, the comparison at www.mse.me/ mortgagebestbuys does this for you, so you can see the real cost of different mortgages side by side.

4. How much can you save?

Now you know your rate and what’s out there, work out the potential savings. I’ve eight tools to home in on the right answer for you at mse. me/mortgagecalc, including help comparing two mortgages and estimating if you should ditch your fix.

5. Can you afford a cheaper mortgage?

15 months ago mortgage affordability checks were introduced to stop people borrowing beyond their means – I believe that’s definitely the right move for those getting new borrowing or extending existing debts.

Yet, perversely, most lenders (and from March all lenders) are forced to apply these rules to those trying to switch deal too, leading to some being told “you can’t afford to get a cheaper rate”. This is something I’m lobbying to try and get changed.

Yet you need to be aware. Lenders will check you can afford your mortgage if rates hit 6-7%. They also want evidence of income, big bills and expenses, even eating out, so be frugal in the months before applying to make your situation look as good as it can.

6. Should I get a fix or tracker/discount?

With a fixed mortgage, the amount you repay is, er, fixed, so it’s like buying an insurance policy against possible rate rises. Variable deals move with UK interest rates – sometimes at the provider’s whim. Currently you only pay a touch more to fix.

Predicting future interest rate moves is difficult – though pundits think the general direction’s up, the question’s just how quickly.

So instead focus on your finances. The more

crucial the security of knowing exactly what you’ll pay, the more you should edge towards fixing - and fixing longer. If a rock-bottom deal’s your driver, edge to short-term trackers if cheaper.

7. Mortgage brokers can help boost acceptance.

You can, and often should, use a broker to help you find the right deal. They have info unavailable to consumers, eg, lenders’ credit and affordability criteria.

A good broker can ease acceptance by matching you to the right deal - and the mortgage interview’s quicker too. But ask the broker how much using them will cost and if they check all deals available to them, not just a panel of lenders.

Some phone only brokers like lcplc.co.uk are fee-free, just getting commission from lenders - others charge fees like Which.co.uk (£499), but can cover a wider range of products. If you want face-to-face help, then ask friends for local recommendations or use unbiased.co.uk or vouchedfor.co.uk.

8. Is your credit score good enough?

These days it isn’t just about getting the best mortgage, but the best that’ll accept you.

Credit scoring plays a huge part of that, and managing your credit worthiness months in advance is part of the task. I’ve 36 tips in my www.mse.me/creditrating guide, but some key ones include a) Ensure your’re on the electoral role, via gov. uk/register-to-vote b) Never withdraw cash on credit cards. c) Never miss a repayment on anything – even late payments hurt d) Check your credit files at Equifax.co.uk, Experian.co.uk and Callcredit for errors – you have a statutory right to do this for £2 e) Avoid payday loans like the plague (both for your credit score and your financial health). f) Avoid other applications, such as credit cards and contract mobiles, just before applying.

WINTER SUN

Winter

By Danielle Lade

T

he days were longer, the evenings were lighter, which is lovely! And then Autumn starts to hit and you can feel the days creeping into their Winter state. With the UK’s weather, one thing we seem to be able to count on is a relatively dreary and gloomy Winter! It’s not quite near enough to the jovialities of the end of the year (a season I won’t mention already in September!) However, a break away in October or November is just the thing to lift the spirits and bridge that gap between Summer and Decembers good cheer!

But where is best to find the heat and sunshine in the Autumn/Winter months?

With Australia a bit too far away for a quick break away; which options are slightly closer to home, a bit more affordable and more importantly, going to be bright and sunny?!

Southern Cyprus offers

temperatures of a perfect pleasing 24 degrees with minimal rain fall levels so a good beach holiday option. You can expect a good 9 hours of sunshine and a flight of 5 hours from a number of UK airports such as Birmingham, Luton, Gatwick, Leeds and Manchester.

For a real variety, Tenerife offers both busy resorts for party goers, posh luxury hotels, historic ports for sightseers and lush green mountains for avid walkers.

With a flight time of 4 and a half hours from most major airports and a real range of budgets to suit most, it’s a great option for Winter sun seekers.

To make the most of your leftover sun screen, check out our list of the best most Summer sun destinations...

Travel Also within 4 hours flying time, is the exotic destination of Marrakesh. During October, there are a number of religious festivals which will provide a celebratory feel to your holiday. The weather can see highs of 27 degrees but on average is about 21 degrees, the one thing to bear in mind is the slightly higher chance of rain that October brings.

If you’re a keen golfer, a less than three hour flight will take you to the Algarve, a golfers paradise and temperatures staying a warm 23 degrees well into October with a good seven hours of sunshine.

And for any culture vultures, an ideal late Autumn location is Sicily, you’re looking at a perfectly respectable 17 degrees average weather but a lovely nine hours to enjoy the stunning Italian architecture and monasteries that Sicily has on offer. Or another popular Italian island at that time of year is Sardinia, which in the mountainous area of Barbagia, between September and December, celebrate a series of festivals. Streets are transformed with markets and local craftsmen, you’ll likely find a local who will happily open his dining room to you and your family! The weather is likely to be very similar to Sicily.

If you’re looking for a newly emerging holiday maker favourite, Dubrovnik in Croatia is extremely popular in the summer months but as autumn falls, the city takes on a more relaxed demeanour and you can explore without the crowds! Temperatures can often reach 25 degrees so you certainly won’t miss out on the warm weather.

With a slightly longer flight time, you can get to Dubai in seven hours with an average of 29 degree heat and ten hours of sunshine, with a very unlikely chance of rainfall, sun seekers are bound to be rewarded in October, with the humidity much less oppressive than in the height of Dubai’s summer, it’s a great time to explore this modern and ever expanding location.

But you don’t have to hop on a plane to find some more reliable weather, a great recommendation for sandy beaches and 100km of cycle tracks, you can hope on a train from London to La Rochelle and regular buses will then take you to Île de Ré, a pretty island just off the West coast of France. With an average high of 23 degrees in October, you’ll think you’re such further afield!

Prices for each destination will be slightly less than the peak Summer months and if you keep an eye out on the websites for the more local airports to you, not only can you often find good deals, it gives you a cheaper start to your holiday!

We all deserve a crowds and really enjoy your destination, and break now and then and when the in Lanzarote, the temperature will not only clouds start to appear darker and the rain in the mid 20’s, with a lack of tourist sun starts to shine less frequently, crowds, walking across the island’s volcanic what better time to peaks, your views won’t be hidden by the pack a suitcase and crowds. jet off somewhere sunny!

WHEN IT COMES TO HOME IMPROVEMENTS, YOU KNOW YOU ARE THE BEST AT WHAT YOU DO WHEN SARAH BEENY REQUIRES YOUR SERVICES TO WORK ON HER OWN HOME. RESIN DRIVES BASED IN BRADFORD WON THE CONTRACT TO RE-SURFACE SARAH’S 450 METRE DRIVEWAY EARLIER THIS YEAR, JUST ANOTHER CELEBRITY NAME TO ADD TO THEIR CUSTOMER LIST AS THEY ALSO TRANSFORMED URI GELLER’S 2,000 METRE DRIVE LAST YEAR. Being a well-known expert at home improvements and restoration work to property that adds aesthetic and monetary value, Sarah wants only the best people when it comes to working on her own home and obviously the reputation for the standard and high quality of work Resin Drives in Bradford provides is spreading and reaching people at the highest level.

The Background Resin bound drives were traditionally used in the commercial sector as the range of colours and patterns lend themselves perfectly to corporate colours and logos and have been used for hotels, company headquarters and even premiership football clubs and soon the more prestigious home builders wanted resin drives for their new developments as they definitely add the ‘wow factor’. The aggregate is supplied in a large choice of standard and bespoke shades making the decorative potential unique to your taste and colour scheme, and the use of templates on site means that virtually any pattern and style can be achieved, including lettering and images within your driveway.

giving it all round better traction for tyres, making it safer for walking on and last but not least, it’s up to 10 times more eco-friendly than concrete.

Some companies will lay resin on hard-core, however you should really only lay resin drives on concrete or asphalt. With a tired looking tarmac drive that’s still in relatively good condition then a resin bound drive can transform it in comparatively quick time.

Kerb Appeal Home owners and house builders alike recognise that differentiating a property’s façade from neighbouring homes can have a positive impact on value and with the decorative potential that Resin Drives provides, it’s the deal way to do just that.

Guarantee The completed driveway itself is porous so there’s no issues with drainage, it’s resistant to weed growth and occasional power washing is all the maintenance that’s required. Resin Drives offer a 5 Year Insurance Backed Guarantee on all of their installations.

Achieve stunning results At their large premises in Bradford, they have constructed a state of the art external showroom to give customers an understanding of what resindrives. co.uk are all about and the options available on colour and finish.

Resin Drives believe in looking after our environment and are taking steps to lower their carbon footprint. All of their resin drives are made up of natural stone and 100% organic resin, which look fantastic, and is as strong and durable as concrete, without the heavy cost to the planet.

Resin completely transforms driveways, patio areas and even something as simple as a path.

Why Resin over concrete, block paving or tarmac?

That’s simple; their product naturally drains water through the finished surface which means no more puddles. It is also resistant to weeds, hence
