Hello...

What happened to spring? We thought it was making an appearance a few weeks back but boy, were we wrong. If you’ve got a case of the winter blues worry not, we’ve got a jam-packed issue to keep you entertained. We chat to Darren Pih, curator of the fantastic Glam! exhibition at the Tate, we’ve got your style sorted if you’re off to Aintree and if the tiny glimpse of spring we had is making you want to shake things up and get on the property ladder we show you how Shared Ownership schemes could help you do just that.

SHARED OWNERSHIP Getting your share of the pie WORDS BY SUZANNE MCGUCKIN

Following Shared Ownership Week, the First Time Buyers Show and the National Housing Federation and Home & Communities Agency’s visit to Liverpool this month, the spotlight is firmly on shared ownership. But how does it work? We take a look at this innovative method of home-buying.

p40-63_p03-12 25/03/2013 13:24 Page 45

HOT TOPIC overnment initiatives designed to ease the pressure on first-time buyers, low earners and existing council and housing association tenants are set to reignite the dream of home ownership for thousands who have until recently been locked out of the market.

G

Shared ownership is one such scheme enabling buyers to get a step onto the ladder without having to take out a mortgage and get a deposit on the total value of a property.

“At a time where more and more would-be first-time buyers are frustrated by high house prices and deposit requirements, it is an ideal solution,” says Ben Clay Director of HomesHub and New Business. “Shared ownership offers the most affordable route into home ownership, meeting families’ aspirations and allowing them to live and work in areas they wouldn’t otherwise be able to afford.”

So, how does it work and who can qualify?

Homes are provided through Housing Associations (HA), allowing buyers to purchase a share of the property. The buyer can purchase anything between 25% and 75% of the property’s value at the beginning. Subsidised rent is then paid to the HA on the remaining share and some or all of the remainder can be bought at a later date through a process known as ‘stair-casing’.

With a shared ownership scheme the purchaser will only require a mortgage for the share of the property they are buying and as a result will require a much smaller deposit.

Jayne Holley general manager of Atrium, part of Symphony Housing Group based in Liverpool says: “Shared ownership allows people who would otherwise be excluded from home ownership for example because a large mortgage deposit is unaffordable to get onto the property ladder.

“It's often cheaper than renting and it allows people to stay in sought after areas where they have family ties.”

Shared ownership is managed by 15 local HomeBuy Agents who have been appointed by the government’s Homes and

Communities Agency (HCA) to guide buyers through the various options available whilst explaining the eligibility and affordability criteria.

Eligibility to purchase through the shared ownership scheme is straightforward and is not limited to key workers such as nurses and teachers for example. As long as the buyer falls into one of the below categories acceptance on to the scheme shouldn’t be a problem:

• The household must earn £60,000 or less a year

• The buyer is a first-time buyers or a buyer who once owned a home but can no longer afford to buy one

• The buyer rents a council or housing association property

STAIR-CASING At anytime after the initial purchase the occupier has the option to buy additional shares.

The cost of the shares will be based on the market value of the property at that time. Buyers can continue to buy shares if they desire until they own 100% of the property. Rent payable is recalculated and reduced proportionately after each new purchase.

SELLING UP If 100% ownership of the home is achieved through staircasing, the owner can sell the property themselves. If part ownership is still the case the housing association will market the share at the market value of the home at the time of sale.

When the property is put up for sale, the housing association has the right to buy the property back first. This is known as ‘first refusal’ and the housing association has this right for 21 years after full ownership.

Benefits of Shared Ownership First-time buyers Shared ownership offers a real chance for first-time buyers to have their own home. More stringent lending criteria coupled with the higher cost of living effectively led to many first-time buyers being unable to save the required deposit to buy a home suitable to their needs. With shared ownership, because only a share of the property is being bought, a firsttime buyer could need a mortgage and deposit for as little as 25% of the value of the property.

Alison Gittins, sales and marketing coordinator at HomesHub in Liverpool says: “I think Shared ownership is a great option for first-time buyers. Buying a share of a property means a smaller mortgage and therefore less deposit is needed. Shared ownership makes buying a home affordable and monthly payments can often be less than the average market rent for the area.

“There are lots of really good shared ownership mortgage products out there and with interest rates low it is a great time to buy.”

OLDER PEOPLE The Older People’s Shared Ownership scheme (OPSO) is aimed at those aged 55 and over who are unable to purchase a new home without assistance. The

scheme works in the same way as the standard scheme, however the buyer can purchase only up to 75% of the home. Once 75% ownership is achieved the occupier will not have to pay rent on the remaining share.

People with Disabilities Home Ownership for People with Long-Term Disabilities (HOLD), offers assistance to those who fall into this category.

Individuals can only apply for HOLD if the properties available in the other HomeBuy schemes don’t meet the individual requirements.

The Quality of Shared Ownership Housing As a condition of their grant funding from the HCA, HA’s are required to build to a high standard. The HCA website states: ‘The HCA has a statutory duty to improve the supply and quality of housing in England. We create opportunity for people to live in homes that are affordable, good quality and in sustainable places by working with local authorities to help them achieve the housing ambitions they have for their areas.’

The scheme is making headway into tackling the serious housing needs of the UK. Asset ownership is boosted and because social housing tenants are prioritised for purchase through the scheme social homes are freed up for those unable to buy but determined to have their own home.

X1 EXPANSION SUCCESS  Around six months after X1 Developments relocated to make way for its rapid expansion, the company says it has continued going from strength to strength.

X1 office

 Abode now boasts one of the biggest showrooms on Allerton Road, after the agency’s second office expanded into the neighbouring property.

The agency’s expansion into Allerton last year has more recently been followed with Abode acquiring Edward &

Brazier estate agents, and new staff have joined both of the company’s offices in the past six months.

e th R on VE O C

X1 Developments previously launched X1 Students to manage the sale of the high quality student accommodation it has been refurbishing and building around Liverpool.

The fast progression of X1 prompted a need for a “larger and more prime” base, so the agency moved from Duke Street to Old Haymarket in the city centre last October.

Reflecting on the move Melissa Green, manager of X1 Developments, says: “We have designed our offices to reflect the lettings service we are offering - fresh, modern and high quality. The office has been hugely successful and a great place to work.”

Such success has also allowed X1 Developments to create new jobs in recent months, and the company will be looking to increase its team further as it plans to branch out further into the North West later this year.

Business booms for Abode The move has allowed Morecrofts solicitors to set up home within the branch which, according to Abode area manager Stephanie Walker, has turned the office into a “one stop property shop offering free advice on house sales, rentals, mortgage advice and now conveyancing also.”

Abode, which opened its first office in Crosby two years ago, has also increased its opening hours to meet the demands of those living and working Merseyside and, as a result, the agency’s sales staff are now said to be carrying out more than 40% of its viewings during evenings and weekends.

The changes are just the latest in a long line of developments for Abode, which has enjoyed ongoing success since the company was first launched.

HELP TO BUY WILL BRING ‘WELCOME BOOST’  The launch of the government’s new Help to Buy scheme will bring a welcome boost to the housing sector, according to the managing director of Liverpool’s Andrew Louis estate agency.

The two-part homebuying initiative was announced within the 2013 Budget and will aim to help people get on or move up the property ladder.

52 Your Move

From 1 April this year, those looking for a new-build will need to raise a 5% deposit and can borrow a further 20% interestfree loan from the government.

Then from January 2014, buyers looking for a new or existing property will be able to secure mortgages even if they only have a small deposit, as the government will provide the lender with a guarantee for up to 15% of a loan if the buyer is able to raise a deposit between 5% and 20%.

Andrew Louis’ managing director, Louis Anastasiou, welcomes the scheme and says: “There’s an awful lot of people who prefer owning their owning their own property as opposed to renting, and people who can save 5% can now move a lot sooner.

“People were having to save 10% and 15% and they have not got the money so this will definitely help. With the lenders easing off on their criteria there’s more competition amongst them

and, coupled with this new scheme, I think it’s really positive for the housing sector."

Church Fields

 Homebuyers looking to move to Lovell’s Church Fields development in Liverpool could cut the cost of a brand new home by 20%, thanks to the FirstBuy initiative.

Through the government-backed initiative, homebuyers can defer paying 20% of the initial price so those looking to buy their own brand new home will find it more affordable than ever before.

incentive, the home could be bought for an initial outlay of only £105,200 with a deposit of as little as £5,260 (4%).

The outstanding balance is covered by an equity loan, jointly funded by Lovell and the Homes and Communities Agency. The loan is interest free for five years and can be repaid when the homeowner has more funds available.

Homes at Church Fields all come complete with contemporary kitchens including a stainless steel Bosch oven, hob and extractor hood and smart white bathrooms

and en-suites.

Ellergreen proves a big hit at show

Ellergreen’s Louise Craven

 New City Vision's Ellergreen development had one of the busiest stands at the First Time Buyers Show on Saturday 23 March.

The developer says its combination of new three and four bedroom homes, attractive and unique incentives plus helpful advice proved popular with many would-be home owners.

Louise Craven, sales manager says: “A YouGov poll showed 89% of 18 to 34 year olds who do not already own a property wish they did. Understanding how to turn that dream in to reality is where our specially developed range of incentives can help. We were delighted to illustrate how a new three-bed house at Ellergreen could cost less than £75 per week to buy.

“Show attendance numbers confirmed strong first time buyer demand in Liverpool. Visitors were keen to learn of our incentives.

Most popular was our unique 'Rent-2-Buy' scheme which allows eligible people the chance to save for a new home whilst renting at Ellergreen and where people don't need a deposit to buy.”

Last two courtyard apartments at Albany  A stunning selection of newly completed apartments within The Albany has proven popular with buyers, as City Residential confirms that only two remain on the market.

The building, on Old Hall Street, was built in 1856 and was once the headquarters for Merseyside’s cotton brokers. Having now been converted in to one, two and three bedroom apartments, buyers have been quick to take up the luxury properties, which combine the Victorian site’s original character with a modern, high standard finish.

The apartments which overlook the courtyard have proven to be particularly popular.

New owners have now settled in to five of the courtyard apartments, leaving only a one and a two bedroom apartment up for grabs.

With both unique properties looking out on to The Albany’s courtyard, the light and spacious one bedroom apartment comprises a hallway, a living and dining room, a newly fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, a modern bathroom and a bedroom.

The two bedroom property includes an entrance hall, a newly

fitted modern kitchen, a living room, the first bedroom complete with an en-suite shower room, a second bedroom featuring a superb exposed brick archway and a large bathroom.

To arrange a viewing call 0151 231 6100.

To add extra incentive, FirstBuy

is one of the schemes available at the development to make home ownership more achievable.

Backed by the government, it provides customers with an equity loan for 20% of the purchase price and is available to first time buyers or people wanting to return to home ownership, provided their household earnings are less than £60,000 a year.

Fields sales manager Anne-Marie O’Doherty says: “FirstBuy is a fantastic way for first time buyers to get on the property ladder. They may only need up to a 5% deposit and apply for a 75% mortgage.

However, they will still own 100% of their new home from day one.”

FirstBuy means a two-bedroom mews property can be bought for an initial outlay of just £83,600, including a deposit of just £5,225.

iverpool property experts were brought together under one roof to offer advice as the fourth First Time Buyers Show took place in the city.

The event at the BT Convention Centre on the waterfront was hosted by HomesHub, part of The Plus Dane Group which has been appointed by the government to be the North West’s affordable homes agent, and it featured a wide range of exhibitors and seminars.

Would-be buyers were able to find out more about the affordable homes that are on offer, as well as exploring the HomeBuy options available to them, discussing mortgage advice and money matters and finding independent support to guide them through the buying process.

Weekly amount calculated: Monthly mortgage repayment of £321.03 x 12 months = £3,852.36 ÷ 52 weeks = £74.08. Figures are calculated on a purchase price of £115,000 with an 80% shared equity with a borrowing of £86,250 and a personal deposit of £5,750. The mortgage would be over a thirty five year period and the total payable assuming no change in rates would be £158,686. The mortgage would be on a fixed rate of 2.74% for the first 2 years with an early redemption charge of a maximum of £2,690 in the first two years. The total fees for arranging the mortgage would be £724. The mortgage would be subject to the terms and conditions of the Lender and may not be suitable for everyone. *£92,000 represents 80% of the full purchase price of £115,000.

ADVERTORIAL

Liverpool Chamber celebrate after apprentice wins award Gemma Parkinson wins Apprentice of the Year 2013 Award for over 25's  Liverpool Chamber Training is celebrating after one of their apprentices picked up the prestigious Apprentice of the Year regional award.

Mary Smyth, Operations Manager says, “We are delighted that Gemma has won the Apprentice of the Year Award for the Liverpool Region. Gemma's progress with us is a shining example of how dedication, ambition and the application of theory and practice through apprenticeship training can propel ones career to the next level. Our Apprenticeship training programmes continue to make a real difference to businesses across Merseyside. This recognition of our commitment to training excellence in Merseyside is a prestigious achievement and I'm very proud of the team at Liverpool Chamber Training.”

Liverpool Chamber of Commerce has been offering training in Merseyside to local businesses for more than 25 years.

An accredited member of the British Chamber of Commerce, Liverpool Chamber Training put quality and the forefront of everything they do.

2012/13 has been another solid year of achievement, having maintained all quality accolades including the Matrix Standard, ISO 140001, ISO 9001 and the Investors in People accreditations.

They have an exemplary record for delivering the highest quality apprentices to the most prestigious businesses in Liverpool including Jackson Canter Solicitors, The Echo Arena, Liverpool International Language Academy and University of Liverpool.

Sue Moister, Gemma’s NVQ Assessor: “I am so delighted that Gemma has achieved this prestigious award as she was and still is, a model learner. She always completes her work to an exceptionally high standard and has never missed a target date!

I began working with Gemma when she was working towards her Management Level 3 Qualification and at that time, she had never delivered a powerpoint presentation. However, she was able to overcome her fears, her confidence has grown immensely, and she is now presenting, planning and delivering training at a national level throughout her company.

In particular, her “Up-Selling

Strategy”, which she originally devised as part of her Key Skills Communication Qualification, has resulted in a year on year revenue growth for her company.

I am continuing to work with Gemma, as she has now progressed to the ilm Management

Level 5 qualification and is still exceeding all expectations – a highly committed individual, who fully deserves this success”. www.liverpoolchamber.org.uk/s ervices/apprenticeship-week2013.aspx

Kelly Lynch, Recruitment Officer, Mary Smyth, Operations Manager, Liverpool Chamber Training Ltd, Gemma Parkinson winner of the over 25’s category and Sue Moister (Gemma’s NVQ Assessor).

NEW BOOK LAUNCH 4

L

iverpool writer Christine Andain launched her new book, Crossing Borders, during a special event at the residence of University of Liverpool vicechancellor Sir Howard and Lady Sheila Newby.

Former teacher, Christine, who is a fan of crime writing, secured a book deal through American publisher The Perlacher Press for the book, which is based on a young Turkish –Cypriot police officer called Osman Zahir.

Christine, who has been on many visits to northern Cyprus, decided the destination would be the ideal setting for her book about the character who, after being stabbed in the line of duty, returns to work and is called out to investigate the murders of two men.

Having carried out research, Christine aims to deal with real issues that confront the country in her story.

Glam exploded in a haze of glitter and smoke into British culture from 1971 – 1975, a brief albeit flamboyant moment in history which we are still feeling the reverberations from now. We spoke to the curator of the first ever in depth study of the era at the Tate Liverpool about why commentators are drawing parallels between the 1970’s and the present day and why the Glam style still captures people’s imaginations and hearts in 2013.

INTERVIEW BY KATE HANRATTY How did the idea for this exhibition come about? A number of big museums have staged exhibitions which explore the relation between fine art and popular culture and we knew that there had never ever really been a serious critical examination of art and style in the 1970’s.

There have been so many exhibitions about the punk era and we felt glam was a neglected moment. We also knew that it would be a very rich and entertaining show.

With Bowie’s first new music in ten years, the V&A Exhibition in his honour and the Glam exhibition, it almost feels like 2013 is the year of Glam revival?

Was there any element of planning in this? It wasn’t planned and it’s all coincidence but it’s all about how history repeats itself. These things have a logic to them and there is a real resurgence of interest in the 1970s not only in pop culture and in style but the whole political culture of the 1970s. There are real parallels between what

is happening now and in the 1970s, for example right now the economy is in a bad state and there is a sense of a society collapsing in on itself because of that and the conservative party are currently in power. In a way it is a parallel of what was going on in Britain in the 1970s, I don’t think it’s nearly as extreme, but a number of commentators are now finding parallels between what is happening now politically and culturally and what was going on in the 1970’s.

How did you go about selecting the pieces for the exhibition? It was a challenging show in a sense that no one has attempted to do a show about the glam era before. Trying to create a show about art and style through the prism of glam rock meant a lot of meetings with historians and looking at art, thinking about what work can you show in 2013 that is still relevant and sheds light on the 1970s.

Why do you think the Glam style has captured people’s imaginations and continues to be adopted by stars such as Lady Gaga and others even in 2013?

Glam is one of those styles that in a sense never really went away, it is one of those styles which is constantly re-discovered and regenerated by artists in the present. I think when a style still has a light and a

contemporary relevance in 2013 that tells you that there is something interesting happening.

What is it about glam that has made it so influential? It was quiet a short lived transient pop moment but at the same time when you look around you can see it evident in lots of things style, culture, pop music, artists such as Lady Gaga and Goldfrapp.

Why do we return to glam? It’s one of those iconoclastic styles and points to a moment of liberation. If you think about David Bowie, Roxy Music and the androgyny and the idea of creating a fictional persona, it’s a powerful idea, the notion that you can create your own identity, glam became a catalyst for personal transformation. So many people look back at the 70s and say that’s when I became myself, I had the confidence to go out and be who I wanted to be. I do think glam was more meaningful to more people than something like punk rock and that’s another reason why we wanted to do the show.

What is next for you in 2013? The show is going on tour when it closes in Liverpool on 12 May. It will travel to Frankfurt in the summer and then to further locations until the beginning of 2014. So for the foreseeable future I will be taking care of the tour of glam.

 FESTIVAL

NEW FESTIVAL FOR CITY

Dragons, knights and medieval princesses will descend on Liverpool’s historic St George’s Quarter on April 21, as a new festival takes place to promote the area.

Businesses, tourist attractions and organisations have joined forces to host the inaugural St George’s Day Festival,

which will mark the patron saint of England’s day in style with a packed line-up of family fun.

TV character Mike the Knight and the arrival of a special dragon on St George’s Plateau will kick off the festivities at 11am, and will be followed throughout the day by a children’s fancy dress competition, a fun fair and stalls around St George’s Hall and St John’s Gardens, live re-enactments from

Plantagenet Medieval Society, and family activities in the World Museum, Walker Art Gallery and St George’s Hall.

Themed Superlambananas will decorate Queen Square for the occasion and musical performances will take place at the Liverpool Bandstand in Williamson Square.

Ged Gibbons from City Central BID, which is among the organisers, says: “This festival has all the ingredients to be one of the highlights of Liverpool’s cultural calendar. St George’s Quarter is a jewel in the city’s crown and it deserves a festival that reflects that position and gives the city a chance to celebrate St George’s Day in style. It’s a great advert for the city that so many partners from the public and private sector have come together to make it happen.”

A Tate Collection rehang will form a major part of the celebrations and will see the first and second floor galleries being completely refreshed, with over 100 artworks going on display including many never seen before in Liverpool.

The project, named DLA Piper Series: Constellations, will explore the impact of major works from the Tate collection on art history by placing them at the heart of nine ‘constellations’ of artworks.

The first part, opening on 3 May, will centre upon works produced after 1960 by Robert Morris, Hélio Oiticica, Marina Abromovic and Barbara Kruger.

Pre 1960 works by Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Man Ray, Barbara Hepworth and Jackson Pollock will be the focus of the second part, which will open on 19 July.

By the age of 15, Karl had a Saturday job drawing plans for small houses around Liverpool where a lot of grants were available to build extensions at the back of them. He adds: “My dad would do all the architectural notes but I’d do all the drawings, so that was my interest. Like a doctor’s son inevitably becomes a doctor, it was almost inevitable that I was going to be a surveyor.”

It was then through the necessary surveying training Karl had to go through that he was first introduced to estate agency work.

“When I was training, the only thing they could do with you between going on site was put you in the estate agency office to answer phones. I started sitting in the office and I thought ‘I like this, I like talking to people’.

Then I’d get someone to view a house, and I got that buzz that you get for the very first time when you sell a house and you know that’s what you want to do.

“It’s that buzz that you get when you say to somebody ‘you’d like this house, go and have a look at it’, and they come back and say ‘it’s fantastic, I’d have never have gone to see it, thank you very much’.

“I started in October 1985 when I was 18. I got my first buzz

probably six weeks into that role and I’ve never looked back since.

“Now my role has changed somewhat, because I don’t do that matching of the buyers with houses, but through embracing technology and training my staff I try to instill that enthusiasm, so they get the buzz off of all the things I used to.”

Maybe it’s this widespread enthusiasm and the company’s ongoing efforts to keep up with the latest technology and the opportunities it can provide in presenting properties, which has helped Karl’s agency achieve so much industry recognition.

Having won numerous Estate Agency of the Year and Lettings Agency of the Year accolades over the years, he says: “The awards are my way of pitching my business against the industry’s best agents throughout the UK. “Each year it gets harder, the standard is immense. I think these economic times have forced agents to try harder and I think that’s great for the industry and great for the customer.”
