UK house prices in March: Highest monthly price rise on record

The biggest monthly house price rise on record today raised hopes of a spring revival in the property market after a two year slump.

The average price of a home in Britain jumped 5.9 per cent to £236,800 in February, according to latest data from lender the Halifax, which has been monitoring the market since 1983.

4

The remarkable “off the radar” leap boosted the annual rate of increase from 0.8 per cent to 2.8 per cent, although economists cautioned against reading too much into a single month’s figures.

Russell Galley, managing director at the Halifax said: ”The shortage of houses for sale will certainly be playing a role in supporting prices.”

The Halifax figures come amid growing anecdotal evidence of a surge in buyers over recent weeks.

Ed Mead, founder of the property viewing website Viewber, said bookings since the start of the year are up 40 per cent on 2018.

To contact

Guy Gittins, Managing Director at agents Chestertons said: ”Following two years of substantial price drops, the market is now bottoming out.

Property values in the capital – particularly in prime locations – have now come down to a level that is proving increasingly attractive to potential buyers, driving a huge surge in the number of people registering with agents and buying property since January.

“This dramatic imbalance between supply and demand is starting to fuel small price increases in areas like Hyde Park, Fulham and Putney as competition ramps up.”

Andrew Montlake, director of mortgage broker, Coreco, said: “Prospective buyers are increasingly waking up to the fact that the current window of opportunity could slam shut in

the event of a Brexit deal and are being more proactive.

“There’s a huge amount of pentup demand out there and it’s starting to come through.”

First-time buyer numbers are also on the rise according to Pete Mugleston, Managing Director of Online Mortgage Advisor.

“The annual, quarterly and monthly growth of house prices announced by Halifax this morning, is likely a result of the increasing numbers of first time buyers on the market.

“In fact, we’ve seen a 54.6 per cent uplift in mortgage enquiries, in line with the yesterday’s UK Finance data that also showed new homeowners are at an all-time high. This spells really positive news for the housing industry as market activity is set to increase even in light of the current political landscape

What’s On

Hull and East Riding Mumbler News

Great ideas of days out and what to do with your children locally.

Welcome to my column! I’m Rachael, mum to an 8 year old boy and a 4 year old girl, and owner of the Hull & East Riding Mumbler.

6

Hull & East Riding Mumbler is a website that I built to list and share all things to do with babies and children in our area. I am really impressed by what this region has to offer for families, we are never short of places to go or activities to try, our vibrant mix of city and towns plus countryside and coast means it’s a great place to raise children. Each month I’m going to bring you some highlights of what’s going on in and around Hull/Beverley to do with your little ones.

Easter is late this year with the schools breaking up 2 weeks before the main event, but there are lots of things happening throughout April both in the build up to and during Easter. By the time Easter arrives we will be well and truly sick of chocolate, bunnies and eggs!

The local country houses and gardens that have been closed for the winter are all back open again

by April and always make for a good day out during the school holidays. Some of my favourite that have special Easter activities running are as follows: l Burnby Hall in Pocklington l Burton Agnes near Driffield l Sewerby Hall near Bridlington l Burton Constable l Sledmere House

In Northern Lincolnshire both Elsham Hall and Normanby Hall are also good days out and have Easter activities.

The good news for families is that most of these country houses and gardens offer membership schemes or family passes so you can go back several times during the year at a reduced cost. We got a pass for Normanby Hall last year and it worked out as a great saving. There are gardens, woodland walks, a deer park, playground and a museum at Normanby plus they also have a splash pool area which we used a lot during the heat last summer.

The most famous family pass is at The Deep, pay to go once and you can return free of charge with that pass for the next 12 months.

The Deep is a great family day out, especially if the weather isn’t great, and they also have a special Easter event on with activities to do in addition to seeing the usual displays, exhibitions and creatures.

A short walk across from The Deep (and something we often combine with a visit to the Deep) are the Hull Museums, again they have special events on for Easter and are great wet weather options. Streetlife and Hull & East

www.dnfourteenmag.co.uk

Riding Museum in the Museums Quarter in Hull Old Town always delight my children, they’re free entry and the extra activities are free too. Other good Hull city centre indoor attractions are Rock Up and Gravity in St Stephens. Hull Truck Theatre on Ferensway Hull have lots of family shows throughout the year. Great Adventures in Storyland is a show they run every month for 3-6 year olds with craft activities before the show, they’re a bargain £5 per child ticket and accompanying adults free! The April shows are on the 13th, at 11am and 12.30pm.

Another lovely idea for a family day out at this time of year is to visit a farm park, most will have lambs to see and sometimes feed during April. We like Pink Pig Farm near Scunthorpe, Hall Farm near Brigg, Playdale near Scarborough and Piglets near York.

The Mile Farmshop and Smile Café (with indoor soft play and outside play area) in Pocklington is also worth a visit, they have an Easter trail and activities running in the café.

There is a full section on the Mumbler website listing all dates and details of the Easter events and activities across our area, check it out here at www. hullandeastriding.mumbler.com Have a great Easter!

Nutrition: 7 Steps to a Healthier You

8

Start your journey to an upgraded diet, by focusing on these seven simple steps.

1 Get proper nutrition every single day that will decrease your cravings for the bad stuff.

2 Make it a habit to eat nutrientrich foods, even on days you don’t feel like it. Our bodies need real food to survive and thrive. It’s common for human beings to sabotage their eating and not take care of themselves properly.

My rule is that no matter how stressful my day is, I take care of my nutritional needs with a juice, smoothie or salad ­even if I don’t feel like it. The body always responds well to nutrition.

To contact

3 Fresh juice is one of the quickest ways to add nutrition into your body. Juice infuses a high dose of vitamins, minerals and nutrients straight into the bloodstream. It’s a powerful way to instantly get cellular nutrition. Try a green juice made with kale, spinach, cucumber, ginger, green apples and lemon. It’s the best dose of energy ever!

4. Keep in mind that there are always healthier natural alternatives to the bad stuff.

Instead of heading to the take away, try making an organic beef burger and fries with avocado oil.

When we upgrade the choices we make - we upgrade our health.

5 Remember that no matter what health issue you may be dealing with right now, it is possible to heal. When I was suffering from food addictions, I never believed I could be healthy until it happened.

And there are many, many stories

like mine. So, there is hope.

6 Cut out the ‘four usual suspects’ that cause health issues. These are gluten, refined sugar, dairy and genetically modified ingredients (GMO’s). Just one week without these health-sapping substances can make a huge difference.

Don’t feel like you can do all four at once? Start with one and grow from there.

The benefits are worth it.

7 Eat local, seasonal and organic when possible. The best option is to grow your own fruits, vegetables and herbs if you can.

The ultimate goal is to live the healthiest. most vibrant life possible. And that starts with making healthier choices every single day. Because every day is a new opportunity to heal.

Rebekah’s

Beauty Box Hi everyone my name is Rebekah Hankin and welcome to my Beauty Box - I shall be sharing all my likes, pet hates, secrets and amazing product finds from the world of beauty with you on a monthly basis.

10

I’ve been colouring my hair since the ’90s, and while my style has improved, the long-term use and build-up from dyeing has definitely taken its toll on my locks. Colouring your hair is one of the easiest ways to shake up your style, but harsh chemicals can, of course, be damaging. If you colour your hair, are considering it, or if your barnet could just generally do with a little TLC, read on for my favourite rescue remedies for a vibrant, shiny mane.

Haircare for me absolutely has to start with a great shampoo and conditioner. If you’re colouring, it’s well worth investing in one that’s either designed to prolong your hue or doesn’t add extra chemicals. Tints of Nature Sulfate-Free Shampoo (£6.99, tintsofnature.com) is free from skinirritating sulfates, salt and silicone, making it perfect for sensitive skin.

I’m really into shampoo bars at the moment in the fight against plastics, and Procoal’s new

To contact

range of botanical bars (which promise to do the job of three 250g bottles of traditional liquid shampoo) are eco-friendly and vegan (£6.95, procoal.co.uk). Pop into Superdrug and you’ll find vegan brand Noughty’s Colour Bomb Shampoo and Conditioner (£6.99 each), or Blondie Locks for blondes. They smell amazing, are a decent price and keep your colour popping.

A colour extender is a great way to add life in-between salon trips. Christophe Robin’s Shade Variation Care range (£41, Space NK) is ammonia, paraben, silicone and oxidant free. Pop it on as you would a mask and get a hint of colour and tone, which lasts for around three to five shampoos. For something a little less spendy, but with great colour options, try OSMO Colour Save (£7.30, feelunique. com). Infused with avocado oil, it’s ace for fighting the fade! And for insane shine, Rita Hazan True Colour Ultimate Shine Gloss (£21, selfridges.com) offers five shade revivors that can be applied inshower for a speedy makeover.

One of the biggest banes of coloured hair is heat styling, particularly the prolonged use of tools like hairdryers and straighteners, which can leave hair dull and lifeless – far from the vibrancy you’d want after changing or enhancing your hair.

Remington has launched the Advanced Colour Protect range at Boots, with a dryer (£79.99), straighteners (£99.99) and curling wand (£44.99).

Designed to help preserve colour vibrancy, all three products feature intelligent sensors that continuously regulate the temperature of the tools to prevent overheating, reducing the hair damage that can cause colour fade. If you have been unfortunate enough to suffer the ill-effects of heat styling, try to reduce the time you use electrical tools and use a good protectant like VO5 Heat Protect Styling Spray (£4.39, Superdrug).

And when all else fails, smother your locks in a nice thick mask.

Why not try a restorative one, like the Moroccanoil Intense Hydrating Mask (£21.99, additionallengths.co.uk)?

Pick of the Month

Living Proof is my new favourite haircare brand for simple, effective products.

The latest to hit the shelves is the Perfect hair Day (PhD) Body Builder (£23, livingproof.co.uk).

I first used this during a stay in New York to revive winterworn hair and was impressed with its ability to boost body and bounce. The clever little nozzle makes it easy to control the amount of product you use, dialling up to ‘M’ for more volume and down to ‘L’ for less.

Bad Manners are an English Second Wave (2 Tone) ska revival band.

They quickly became the novelty favourites of the fad through their bald, enormous-bodied frontman’s on-stage antics, earning early exposure through their Top of The Pops TV exploits and an appearance in the live film documentary, Dance Craze.. Bad Manners spent 111 weeks in the UK Singles Chart between 1980 and 1983. After becoming popular in London, Bad Manners signed to Magnet Records in 1980 for a six figure sum.

BThere’s a genuine buzz in the Quireboys’ camp as the veteran rock and rollers ready their most ambitious album to date. “It’s never been black and white where The Quireboys are concerned,” said frontman Spike.

“There have always been shades of the blues. And now we’ve got the perfect chance to put a new twist on some old classics.”.

Work-life Balance Working from the comfort of your own home sounds like a dream scenario for many people, but it does come with some drawbacks – namely, how do you set boundaries and maintain a healthy work-life balance, when, technically, you’re always at work?

Those working from home now account for 13% of the UK workforce, and with books such as Sophia Amoruso’s Girlboss and Emma Gannon’s The MultiHyphen Method becoming best-sellers, the dream of being self-employed has never been more coveted.

I personally felt drawn to working for myself because of the flexibility in relation to my mental illness. Living with depression and anxiety means that my capacity for work can change dramatically from day to day, even hour to hour. So having the option to rearrange my own work schedule, avoid stressful situations, and do yoga poses at my desk, seemed like a no-brainer.

But let’s take a reality check, shall we? Working from home is no walk in the park. At the end of the day, it’s still a job and has its negative aspects. In fact, a 2017 study conducted by the UN found that 41% of people who tended to work from home considered themselves ‘highly stressed’, compared to just 25% of those who worked only on-site.

Here’s how to strike a healthy balance when work and life collide...

1 Don’t isolate yourself If you’re not a ‘people person’, working from home is probably your dream job, but don’t neglect your biological need for human interaction. Studies show that isolated people are likely to take insufficient exercise, have poor diets, and are less willing to visit a doctor. This can increase your stress levels, blood pressure, and inflammation in the body.

Make an effort to meet up with clients in real life, arrange co-working sessions with other self-employed people in your area, or at the least strike up a conversation with your local barista.

2 Establish a routine Kirsty Hulse, author of The Future is Freelance, tells us that although routine is very important, it’s not always sustainable. “For example,” Kirsty says, “some days I will be travelling for a meeting, others I will be at home all day, or be somewhere for an event. It’s not always feasible when you work from home to have a set routine.”

Once you get to know yourself, you’ll find what your own version of a ‘routine’ looks like.

A good place to start is with ‘office hours’. Try making a commitment to getting ready before 9am. This is easy to let slip when no one is watching.

3 Set physical boundaries One of the hardest parts about working from home is the fact that you’re almost guaranteed to let work bleed into your personal life. One way to avoid this is to have a space which is dedicated

www.dnfourteenmag.co.uk

to work. It doesn’t need to be an entire room (although a separate home office is ideal), but instead could be a desk hidden away from all the ‘social’ spaces in your home.

My number one rule is that I never take my laptop to bed, ensuring that the bedroom is a completely work-free zone, dedicated to rest and relaxation.

4 Learn to switch off Once you have firm boundaries in place, it should be much easier to switch off. But if you’re still struggling, don’t give up. It’s all about finding the tools that work for you. For example, I know one man who has invented a daily commute to bookend his working day. He wakes up, gets washed and dressed, and then leaves the house to walk around the block before returning home to sit at his desk for a 9am start.

At 5pm he packs up his things and does the same walk around the block in reverse to signify the end of his day, and his return to ‘home’ life.

My version of this is decluttering my desk at 6pm, lighting a candle, putting on some music, and cooking dinner. For you, it might be a visit to the gym, a drink at the pub, or even setting an out of office reply on your email account. Pick an activity that you can look forward to, to make it your end of the day reward, and then you’ll be more likely to stick to it consistently.

Wisteria.. Long, luxuriant racemes of fragrant pea-like flowers hang in regal masses, there is no doubt that wisteria are the royalty of climbing plants. We share wisteria wisdom and show it’s not just for walls.

There are plants that are easy-going and hasslefree, and then there are the awkward squad, wayward beauties like wisteria that need understanding and a firm hand. It is a small price to pay for one of spring’s most beautiful sights, a profusion of fragrant, pea-like flowers suspended in long bunches before the greenish bronze leaves have time to fully unfurl. Occasionally in autumn, each cluster of flowers is replaced by a single, velvety, bean-like pod that dries well, a handsome addition to dried flower arrangements.

One thing is certain, wisteria has some quirky traits. Japanese varieties, for example, twine in an anticlockwise direction whereas Chinese ones travel clock-wise. Then there is the antisocial behaviour - the unlicensed invasion of roof spaces, or toppling of weak

supports. The seedpods even cause minor eruptions when, if warmed, they explode, scattering small black seeds far and wide. Over the years, there have been reports of people startled by muffled bursts from overhead, or awoken at night by sounds esembling an air rifle.

A flower arranger recalls finding her cat crouched terrified in a corner, hiding from the flying seeds.

Despite its alarming means of seed dispersal, wisteria has long been revered in Japan and China, the subject of flower

viewing parties 1,000 years ago, and appearing in paintings.

Its Chinese name is ‘Zu Teng’ which translates as ‘Blue Vine’ - similar to the German name ‘Blaue Regan’, or ‘Blue Rain’. It was not until the early 1800s that an Englishman, Captain Welbank, brought seeds back from China, after attending a dinner party beneath a pergola dripping in wisteria flowers.

Britain’s oldest wisteria is thought to be at the Fuller’s Brewery in west London, where it was planted in 1816.

Gardening Not Just for Walls

How to Guarantee Wisteria Flowers

Wisterias are deciduous, twining climbing plants with sweetly scented flowers that come in shades of white, purple, blue or pink. They all flower in late spring, and a few repeat flower sparsely in late summer.

The wisteria family comprises about ten species, but the most commonly found are Wisteria sinensis (Chinese wisteria), Wisteria floribunda (Japanese wisteria), Wisteria brachybotrys (silky wisteria) and Wisteria x formosa (a cross between floribunda and sinensis). There are more varieties of Japanese species than the others, and they usually have longer bunches of flowers (known as ‘racemes’).

Wisterias with long bunches of flowers such as Wisteria floribunda ‘Multijuga’ (a

Much has been written about the problems of wisterias not flowering. In many cases, these are plants grown from seed which can take up to several decades to bloom, as opposed to grafted plants which typically flower within three years. Look for the graft union which is easily recognised as a bulge near the base of the stem.

Japanese wisteria with flower bunches up to 4ft (1.2m) long), are shown at their best on structures such as pergolas or arches, where the long racemes hang free.

Others, such as W. sinensis, are ideally grown on a wall, trained onto horizontal support wires of 1/8in (3mm) galvanised steel set at 12in (30cm) intervals and secured by screwed vine eyes.

There are also seasonal causes - flower buds can be damaged during frosty periods causing them to blacken before opening. The flower buds are formed in late summer, so position plants in a sheltered position in a south or southwest facing position, never east or north. A restricted root-run is also believed to encourage better flowering.
