House & Home

You don’t need to move to find your ‘forever’ home Rising house prices and market uncertainty mean more homeowners are transforming their current property into their ‘forever home’ rather than moving house.

As many as 86% of homeowners decided to make improvements according to a survey by LV= General Insurance, with the most popular make-over being redecoration.

But a revamped kitchen and landscaped garden also proved popular ways to upgrade current homes to attain ‘ideal’ home status.

4

Heather Smith, managing director of the LV=GI Direct business, said: “When looking to buy a property, especially one where you intend to stay put, it’s important to consider which factors are most important to you.

“With house prices continuing to rise and uncertainty in the market, our research shows that the vast majority of homeowners are choosing to renovate their current property to create their ‘forever home’.”

Factors which make a ‘forever’ home

A ‘forever home’ is considered to be the property somebody intends to live in indefinitely – it’s something people, on average, think they will buy when they are 49.

However, in LV=’s survey the

average age at which people already in their ‘forever home’ bought their property was in fact 41.

When it comes to the factors which make a forever home, garden was most important with 59% of respondents. Other elements which were essential in creating the perfect home were the number of bedrooms, access to amenities and parking spaces.

Being close to good transport links also proved important with a quarter of those quizzed.

For anyone interested in finding out when they might stand of chance of having their forever home, LV= has created a tool to help you calculate this based on the region in which you live.

Insurance

It is also urging anyone considering making major improvements to their home to remember to let their home insurer know so the level of cover can be adjusted accordingly.

Smith added: “Renovations can take up a lot of time and money, and with your home being your most valuable possession, it’s important to have the right protection for your home and its contents.

“We’d encourage people to tell their insurer about any planned structural work, such as an extension, loft conversion or new roof, to ensure that cover is in place.”

10 improvements to add value to your home

A calculator which helps homeowners estimate the profit made after carrying out improvements to their property has been produced by GoCompare Home Insurance.

The Property Investment Calculator, which helps people work out how different projects or updates could add value to their home, is being promoted as GoCompare unveils the findings of a survey into home improvements.

In fact, giving homes a makeover is proving popular at the moment, as high property prices and uncertainty surrounding Brexit are preventing people from moving up the housing ladder.

6

Instead, many homeowners are revamping their current dwellings, something which can have the dual benefit of making space work for their growing family or changing needs as well as adding value to improve its sales potential in the future.

Reasons for a revamp A survey by GoCompare revealed 85% of homeowners have updated or improved their home in the last five years with interior redecoration, a bathroom refresh and replacing floors topping the list of work they carried out.

While the majority undertook the work in order to improve the general appearance of their home,

through rooms to create an open plan space and electrical rewiring.

When to tell your insurer While you don’t need to inform your insurer if you are simply freshening up your home with a lick of paint or installing a new carpet, it’s worth being aware that some home improvements will need to be disclosed. or to simply upkeep the property and prevent it from falling into disrepair, nearly a quarter said they wanted to add value.

Indeed, for as many as 14% it made more sense to spruce up their current home than to move house.

According to GoCompare the top 10 home improvements carried out in the last five years were: 1 Interior redecoration 46% 2

Installed a new bathroom 27%

3

Replaced the flooring 26%

4

A garden make-over 24%

5

Installed a new kitchen 24%

6

Installed a new boiler or central heating system 24%

7

Installed new windows/ double glazing 19%

8

New shed or other garden building 16%

Exterior redecoration 13%

10 Improved insulation 11% Other improvements which were mentioned in the survey included adding a patio or garden decking, extending the property, knocking

What’s more, any work which adds value to your home will need to be reported to your insurer. This is because buildings insurance is calculated on the rebuild cost of a property, therefore cover must be increased accordingly.

Ryan Fulthorpe, from GoCompare Home Insurance, said: “Unless you’ve specifically added cover, home insurance doesn’t cover accidental damage to your property or your belongings.

“So, if you accidentally knock over a tin of paint while redecorating or drill a hole through a water pipe while putting up shelves, you may not be covered unless you’ve bought the extra protection.

“As a rule, home insurance policies also don’t cover tradesmen or their work. So, before employing anyone, make sure they have their own insurance in place and check they’re qualified to carry out the work and are registered with a recognised governing body.”

Structural work will also need to be reported to your insurer as this could increase the risk of damage. www.gocompare.com/homeinsurance/property-investmentcalculator/

Literature

Books To Read In March From the long-awaited return of Marian Keyes to a selection of brilliant debuts, this month serves up both fascinating fiction and intelligent thrillers…

Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982 by Cho Nam-Joo

10

Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982 is the South Korean millioncopy bestseller that’s just been translated into English. Kim Jiyoung is a girl born to a mother whose in-laws wanted a boy; she’s a sister made to share a room while her brother gets one of his own; a female preyed upon by male teachers at school; a daughter whose father blames her when she is harassed late at night; a good student who doesn’t get put forward for internships; a model employee but gets overlooked for promotion; a wife who gives up her career and independence for a life of domesticity. Ultimately, this is a life story of one young woman which raises questions about endemic misogyny and institutional oppression that are relevant to us all.

Grown Ups by Marian Keyes

Is this Marian Keyes’ best novel yet? Considering we raced through almost 700 pages in under two days, we’re inclined to say yes. Grown Ups follows the lives of the Caseys. Johnny Casey, his two brothers Ed and Liam, their beautiful, talented wives and all their kids spend a lot of time together: birthday parties, anniversary celebrations, weekends away.

And they’re a happy family. But under the surface, conditions are murkier. While some people clash, others like each other a little too much. Everything stays under control until Ed’s wife, Cara, gets concussion and starts revealing secrets one by one.

In the subsequent unravelling, every one of the adults finds themselves wondering if it’s time to finally grow up. A heartening, pacey read.

The 24-Hour Café by Libby Page

From the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Lido comes a story of friendship, belonging and

To contact

never giving up on your dreams.

Day and night, Stella’s Café opens its doors to the lonely and the lost, the morning people and the night owls. It’s a place where everyone is always welcome, where life can wait at the door.

At the centre of the tale is Hannah and Mona: best friends, waitresses, dreamers. They love working at Stella’s, but is it time to step outside and make their own way in life?

Page’s second novel offers readers 24 hours at Stella’s Café, where one day might just be enough to change a life.

The Girl with the Louding Voice by Abi Daré

Adunni is a 14-year-old Nigerian girl who knows what she wants: an education.

This, her mother has told her, is the only way to get a “louding voice”, the ability to speak for herself and decide her own future. But instead, Adunni’s father sells her to be the third wife of a local man who is eager for her to bear him a son and heir. When Adunni runs away to the city, hoping to make a better life, she finds that the only other option is servitude to a wealthy family. As a yielding daughter, a subservient wife, and a powerless slave, Adunni is told, by words and deeds, that she is nothing. But while misfortunes might muffle her voice for a time, they cannot mute it. A powerful, emotional debut novel told in an unforgettable way.

Here We Are by Graham Swift

This new novel from the winner of the Booker Prize in 1996 for Last Orders is set in Brighton in 1959.

The theatre at the end of the pier is having its best summer season in years. Ronnie, a brilliant young magician, and Evie, his dazzling assistant, are top of the bill, drawing audiences each night. Meanwhile, Jack is everyone’s favourite compère, a born entertainer, holding the whole show together. As the summer progresses, the off-stage drama between the three begins to overshadow their theatrical success, and events unfold which will have lasting consequences for all their futures.

Travel

9 Tips For Finding The Best Flight Prices

Making your travel plans a reality but still ensuring you get value for money when it comes to flight prices is something you want to get right – especially when hundreds of price comparison websites all claim their offer is the one to go for. If it feels like it’s beyond your control, here are nine ways to ensure you get the best deal every time…

Keep Searches Secret The internet has given us unprecedented access when it comes to tacking down the cheapest flights possible. But you might be surprised to know that cookies – which effectively track your online behaviour – mean flight prices do increase when you repeatedly search for a particular route. The reason? Airlines and websites want to scare you into booking the flight quickly before the price gets even higher. As such, it’s essential, to ensure you start your flight search by going ‘incognito’ online or using a private browsing mode. In Google Chrome or Safari, simply hit Command (or Control if using a desktop computer), Shift, N. Cookies are cleared each time you open an incognito window, so start over each time you search a new flight.

12

Limit Hidden Charges In order to make money, most price comparison websites will inflate the cost of a flight so they can take a cut if you book. It should be said upfront that there’s no such thing as the perfect price comparison website or search engine, but some are definitely better than the rest. Skyscanner, for example, checks the prices of more than 1,200 travel companies – including the ones it doesn’t stand to make any money from. It never uses its customers data to inflate prices, either, nor does it bury you in hidden charges and unexpected fees. You can also augment your search results to show the eco-friendliest travel options, as well as hotel and accommodation addons.

Find The Cheapest Day It’s an old wives’ tale that flying out on a Tuesday at 3pm is the cheapest airline ticket out there. But it is still possible to find some months which are cheaper than others. On Skyscanner, or other sites which permit this function, try adjusting your search settings under the ‘Depart’ tab to ‘Cheapest Month’ and ‘Search Flights’, and let the technology do its job.

You can browse all dates to see which time of year is cheapest, before going back to the beginning to book a return trip. As per a study from the Airlines Reporting Corporation, it’s recommended that flyers try to book at least 57 days – roughly six weeks – in advance to get the best price, and between 30 days to three months for domestic trips. If you are in the

Please mention

market for something last minute, use a site such as Kiwi to find last-minute deals and comparisons.

Book Through Partner Brands Rather than booking more than one seat on a certain flight, it might be possible to save money by paying for a second seat through a partner airline.

For example the One World Alliance has 13 different member airlines, all of which work together to sell seats on their various routes and aircraft. Having booked one seat on British Airways, for example, it might be cheaper to find the second person’s ticket via one of its partners, such as American Airlines. Be careful not split up return fares – it rarely works out cheaper to buy two single tickets each way.

Rack Up Miles And Points If you travel regularly, and have a preferred airline, it’s definitely worth signing up to a loyalty scheme to earn points and miles on your trips. It’s common for airlines to offer its regular customers frequent flier bonuses, too, such as free upgrades. Just be sure to check when collected air miles and points expire. Failing that, investigate whether an airlinespecific credit card might be appropriate for your circumstances. If you’re confident you can hit the minimum spend to trigger rewards without any risk to your personal finances, it might be an easy way to pay your way to free, or seriously discounted, flights – especially if you find yourself forced to book last-minute trips, frequently. A final disclaimer: always read the small print and take professional and independent financial advice if you’re unsure of the terms and how it might affect your credit score.

Opt For Budget Airlines If you’re willing to compromise on leg room,

when responding to advertisers. Thank you.

Holidays baggage allowance or even the number of layovers, budget airline and charter flights usually offer a far cheaper alternative. But make sure you read the small print when it comes to hidden charges or fees.

For example, Ryanair has been known to charge customers for forgetting to print their boarding pass at home or failing to adhere to their strict baggage guidelines. It’s also a question of what really feels worth it. For example, a two-hour layover might not be worth the extra £200 to fly direct. Finally, if you’re flying to a popular resort, check with a charter travel company, such as Tui, to see if they have any deals.

Package holiday companies reserve flights to ferry their passengers, so you could bag a cheap flight when they come to sell off unreserved seats.

Shop The Sales The British Airways January sale is always marked on our calendar, but with the development of Black Friday, Cyber Monday and even Singles Day, sales of cheap flights are becoming a more regular event.

Lesser known is the fact that it’s quite common for airlines to post mistakenly cheap fares as a result of technical glitches, currency conversion mishaps and general human error. Airfare Watchdog and Skyscanner are two great sites for flagging such errors. The former updates its top 50 fares daily, while the latter’s monthly search function should pick up any anomalies.

Break Up Long-Haul Journeys If you’re booking seriously long haul – think Australia or Hawaii– then consider breaking up the journey and booking different legs separately to keep costs down. It also counts to know whether your preferred airline flies somewhere direct or not. If not, it might be worth plumping for a budget airline to get you some of the way for less, before coughing up for a preferred airline for the second leg of the journey.

Just be careful about how much transfer time you leave between flights – experts recommend between three and four hours, unless you’re planning to leave the connecting airport.

Consider A Different Currency Depending on the destination, airline and exchange rate, you might find it’s cheaper to pay for your flight with a local airline in its native currency. While it’s common for airlines to make you pay in the currency of the country you’re departing from, this isn’t always the case. And always use a debit or credit card which is free from foreign transaction fees: it’s often the case that credit card companies charge a small percentage on any transactions made in a different currency, which might make any perceived discount null and void.

Ten Homegrown Health Boosters Kale is rich in calcium and vitamins as well as the antioxidant lutein, which is good for eye health.

Parsnips are a source of fibre plus nutrients like vitamins C and K and folate, which is vital for the formation of cells and DNA. Spinach is an important source of vitamin K, which is thought to be important for maintaining healthy bones.

Broccoli contains high levels of vitamin C, which protects against a range of chronic diseases.

Tomatoes should be picked when fully ripe for the highest levels of lycopene, an antioxidant that protects against cell damage.

Potatoes should be eaten right after harvest for a boost of vitamin C. Levels rapidly decrease after harvest.

Carrots contain beta-carotene, which converts to vitamin A in the body and is essential for the eyes, lungs and the digestive system.

Asparagus contains antioxidants, including vitamins A, C and E, plus flavonoids and polyphenols.

Pumpkins boast plenty of anthocyanins and carotenoids, antioxidants that aid gut health.

Berries such as blueberries and blackberries are high in antioxidants and vitamin C.

Why homegrown produce is healthier...

Want to kick-start your gardening year with a health boost?

Growing your own food holds the answer.

We all know fruit and vegetables are good for us, but it might come as a surprise to learn just how much healthier some crops are for us eaten fresh from the plot, rather than bought from the shop.

16

Why? Often, supermarket produce has been specially bred to have a long shelf life and to be robust enough to be transported far and wide – not because they’re the most flavourful or rich in nutrients. Chances are, they’ll also have been picked prematurely, shipped around the world, or up and down the country – or both – and artificially ripened. This long journey from field to fork, and the conditions on the way, can deplete fruit and vegetables of goodness and flavour.

Numerous studies* show that vitamin C in particular degrades rapidly after harvest, so freshness can make a huge difference.

Researchers found spinach and broccoli lost more than 80 per cent and 60 per cent, respectively, of their vitamin C, after seven days in chilled storage. One study revealed all the vitamin C in spinach was lost after four days stored at room temperature. “Good sources of vitamin C, like potatoes, leafy greens, broccoli, and tomatoes, are definitely better if eaten soon after harvest,” says Dr Ken Thompson, plant ecologist and former senior lecturer at the Department of Animal and Plant Sciences at Sheffield University.

Please mention

are other beneficial nutrients that are generally more abundant in home-grown fruits and vegetables than shop-bought. According to Professor Cathie Martin from bio- science institute, the John Innes Centre, these compounds have antioxidant properties and promote the growth of healthy gut bacteria.

Growing your own also means you can enjoy crops that are perfectly ripe, which means they’re as delicious as they can be, and as nutritious, too. “If you leave fruit on a plant to mature and ripen fully, it’ll have more nutritional value than fruit picked when half ripe,” says Graham Seymour, Professor of Plant Biotechnology at Nottingham University. He continues: “During the ripening process you get a build-up of useful phytochemicals – or active plant compounds.

Tomatoes, for instance, will become redder and have more lycopene, an antioxidant that protects against cell damage when fully ripe.” In fact, some supermarket tomatoes are selected to never fully ripen and always remain firm.

Anthocyanins and carotenoids

These compounds are part of a plant’s natural defence system to protect against stresses caused by such factors as light damage.

Anthocyanins give crops such as berries, aubergines and red cabbage their purple hue, while carotenoids are found in orange produce – squash, carrots, sweet potato, pumpkin and tomatoes.

“Supermarket versions, which have usually been grown in greenhouses and polytunnels, don’t have such high levels of these compounds, as they don’t get enough light to stimulate their production,” says Cathie Martin. “And supermarkets are not going to have the varieties of fruits and veg that produce the highest concentrations.”

What’s more, when produce isn’t allowed to ripen naturally, there’s no time for these compounds to accumulate.
