House prices fall as market cools in ‘correction’ House prices fell in value by 0.9pc last month as the market market started to cool, according to Halifax.

This monthly fall in prices follows four consecutive months of growth, with December’s monthly rate of growth at 1.6pc. The rate of growth in the 12 months to January was 5.7pc, down from 6.5pc the annual growth rate recorded the previous month.

Howard Archer, of IHS Global Insight, described the fall as a “correction”, and said that house prices will rise by no more than 3pc this year. He added: “Weakening consumer fundamentals, likely mounting caution over making major spending decisions, and elevated house price to earnings ratios are likely to weigh down on house prices. However, a shortage of supply is likely to put a hard floor under prices.”

6

Halifax’s house price index is more volatile than

Nationwide’s, which last week reported house prices rose by 0.2pc on a monthly basis in January. But both indices signal that house prices have slowed in the start of this year. Martin Ellis, Halifax housing economist, said that the annual rate of growth remained “robust” due to an “ongoing shortage of property for sale, low levels of housebuilding, and exceptionally low interest rates”. He added: “These factors are unlikely to change materially during 2017.”

Meanwhile, house builder Bellway is ploughing more investment into land, rising 21pc from a year earlier to £380m. It reported that it completed 6.5pc more homes in the six months to the end of January compared to the same period last year.

It also increased its forward order book by 9pc to £1.1bn, boosted by the Government’s Help to Buy scheme, which helps first-time buyers with a 5pc deposit to purchase newly built homes.

Ted Ayres, the chief executive, said: “Market conditions remain positive and accordingly Bellway is continuing to invest in a controlled manner, both in land and work in progress”.

SOFA TRENDS 2017 If you’re making plans to update your home this year, are you checking out the hot new sofa trends 2017?

I know I’ve been busy making notes about the rooms I want to decorate over the next few months, which might even include a kitchen renovation (better start saving) and so I’m thinking about the looks and trends I might like to adopt.

For me, sofas can make or break the look of the living space.

Whether you’re in your main lounge, an open plan living/dining space, a bedroom, den or playroom, a sofa can really set the scene and offer some incredible wow factor to any scheme. My lovely chocolate brown mid-century styled leather sofas are probably old hat now, but there’s years of life left in them now, and I still absolutely love them so they’re not going anywhere soon.

into sofas which is why I had to include it in the new sofa trends 2017. Subtle, charming and wonderfully elegant, a pastel sofa or chair will really bring a little sophistication into your living room.

This wasn’t a trend I liked at all about a year ago, but these softer colours have really grown on me, particularly when paired up with metallics and plenty of greenery.

VELVET I can’t tell you home much I’m in love with all velvet interiors and accessories at the moment. I may have just snuck in a few new velvet cushions (more on that in an upcoming post) and they are diving. So how about treating yourself to a beautiful new velvet sofa?

8 PATTERNED Patterned sofas and chairs have been gaining momentum over the last couple of years and have definitely taken their place in the market. And they make a remarkable statement in any room.

It’s up to you how you dress it. My own preference would be to keep everything else simple. Plain cushions and throws and then a backdrop that really allows the pattern to shine. I wouldn’t want anything else to compete too much with its vibrancy.

It’s decadent, luxurious and packed full of texture. Combine it with a bang on trend deep rich green or blue and you have yourself the perfect sofa for 2017.

PASTELS Another trend that’s really taken its place in the last few years, is MAYNARD AD.qxp_Layout 1 26/07/2016 10:10 Page 1 the use of pastels in our home interiors. And now its made its way

HULA BY BARBARA HULANICKI There is a home interiors trend kicking around at the moment for Monochrome. And I’m loving it! So much so that I decided to hunt out some fabulous monochrome wallpaper for this House & Home feature in DNfourteen Magazine.

If you’re familiar with Barbara Hulanicki’s signature style you’ll recognise this straight away. She also designs a clothing range for Asda so maybe you’ve seen it there! I love it. It’s very 1920’s/30’s styling and think it looks amazing in the black and white.

To contact

Don’t think for a minute this will be dull and boring. Just look at the lifestyle shots above and see how combined with one bright colour the whole look can be changed. The warmth and vibrancy of the pop of orange lifts the whole look and makes if fun and very modern.

Now if black and white isn’t your thing but you’re liking the style and the pattern then why not take a look at it in another colourway.

Available also in green, with a distinct metallic sheen this might appeal to those of you who like to do your wallpaper a little less bold. Still stylish, still gorgeous just not so dramatic.

Another new winner?

The Humber Premier League saw another new winner last season with the emergence of Wawne United, who surprised the whole of the region with their impressive goalscoring, giving them a 5 point winning margin and a whopping 101 goal tally for the season.

The 2016/17 seasons sees another potential new winner in Crown FC, who have been constantly of the edge of glory over the past few seasons.

Just a point behind the leaders Sculcoates Amateurs, Mark Lever’s squad know they have a real challenge to keep the top spot in the final stages of the season.

12

Crown face the bottom 3 in the coming weeks, so they have an opportunity to ensure they enter April in pole position, but as we know in the HPL, nothing is for certain.

Hanson Jewellers have had an impressive run, losing only 1 of their last 7, which included a credible draw against NCEL Division 1 high fliers Hall Road Rangers in the East Riding Senior Cup. The future of Crown FC is in their own hands, and I’m sure they’ll be doing all they can to ensure it’s another new name on the Humber Premier League Trophy come May. If you want to watch any of the games from the HPL Premier or Division 1, you can see the all of the fixtures at http://smo.news/scores/

Days Out & York’s Chocolate Story Competition

Why York is the perfect city for a family day out

York offers a big slice of the national curriculum, all in one place, with evidence of Romans, Normans and Tudors. Then there’s the ghosts, Harry Potter association and chocolate. And you don’t have to spend a fortune: the best attractions - walking the city walls and cobbled streets - are free.

What to see

The Shambles

The City Walls

The easiest way to see York in one go is to walk around the medieval walls. There are around two miles still intact, but if you’re pushed for time, one of the best stretches is to jump on at Mickelgate and head north-east for views of the Minster. The steps to get up here are wide enough to take a pushchair.

The inspiration for Harry Potter’s Diagon Alley, this medieval thoroughfare was once lined with butchers, and blood was said to run down the cobbles. Today you’ll find cafes and shops.

The Shambles is rumoured to be the most photographed street in England”

York’s Chocolate Story

This entertaining museum tells the story of our love affair with chocolate, including its popularity with the Quaker families of York - such as Rowntree and Terry - that went on to become confectioners.

Did you know that Terry’s Chocolate Orange was originally an apple?

16 Jorvik Viking Centre

”Head to York with your children to discover why the Vikings have been rehabilitated into heroes for the new generation” Head to York with your children to discover why the Vikings have been rehabilitated into heroes for the new generation Vikings are heroes for the new generation - thanks, in part, to How to Train Your Dragon and the Scandi clothing invasion.

Jorvik will help your children brush up on actual facts about these Nordic seafarers. With the main centre due to re-open on April 8, visit the excellent display at St Mary’s Church, where you’ll come face to skull with what was an important and thriving 9th-century Viking city.

York Minster

The largest Gothic cathedral in northern Europe is an impressive sight for adults, but you can keep children engaged by downloading a treasure map from the website (yorkminster. org) and testing the 1280 Chapter House whispering gallery.

Other great attractions well worth a visit whilst in York include: l The National Railway Museum l York Art Gallery l The Yorkshire Museum l The Museum Gardens & St. Mary’s Abbey l The Original Ghost Walk of York l Betty’s Tea Rooms l A River Trip on The River Ouse l Cliffords Tower l The Castle Museum

Health News

FAT CHANCE Did you see that latest report about how, thanks to the free availability of medical statistics, we’re all eating more sensibly and living more healthily, losing weight and getting fitter? No, because, let’s face it, it isn’t going to happen.

20

We did, however, all hear yet another soulcrushing expose, this time from the Health and Social Care Information Centre - namely, that Britain is still the ‘fat man’ (sic) of Europe, with obesity rates (and associated health problems) continuing to rise. Nearly 12,000 people were admitted to hospital in 2011 for obesity-related illness - it would have been more, apparently, if only there’d been wider doors. It’s not funny, of course, especially when we learn that one in 10

children starting primary school are already obese, rising to one in five when they move up to secondary level.

Clearly we’re feeding ourselves and our kids too much of the wrong stuff. And, of course, we knew that, didn’t we? After all, Jamie’s been saying it for years now. What’s even more illogical is that it comes on the heels of another report, bizarrely from the Institute of Mechanical Engineers, showing that the average UK family chucks away some £680 worth of food a year uneaten, meaning that we’re spending way too much on rubbish food and that the supermarket cash registers are as bulging as our waistlines as a consequence.

Since we all seem determined to eat our way out of recession and through Brexit, government appeals for national belt-tightening would seem to be a little misguided!

Gardening Advice There’s always something to be doing in the garden, whether it’s pruning, tidying or sowing.

Top 10 jobs this month

26

l Prepare vegetable seed beds, and sow

some vegetables under cover l Chit potato tubers l Protect blossom on apricots, nectarines

and peaches l Net fruit and vegetable crops to keep the

birds off l Prune winter-flowering shrubs that have

finished flowering l Divide bulbs such as snowdrops, and

plant those that need planting ‘in the green’ l Prune Wisteria l Prune hardy evergreen hedges and

renovate overgrown deciduous hedges l Prune conservatory climbers such as bougainvillea l Cut back deciduous grasses left uncut

over the winter, remove dead grass from

evergreen grasses

If the weather is warm, you may need to start mow. Set the cutting height at its maximum, and only mow when the grass is dry. Re-cut lawn edges to crisp up the appearance of the garden and save work later in the season. Turf can be laid, provided the soil is not too wet or frosty.

Work from planks, to avoid compacting the soil.

Do not walk on the newly laid turf and leave undisturbed for several weeks to allow new roots to establish. Prepare seed beds for new lawns to be seeded later in the spring, but only attempt this if the ground is not too wet.

Dahlia tubers stored over winter (or bought this year) can be started into growth. Place them in a light, warm place to sprout before planting.

They will need additional misting with a spray-bottle of water, to stop them drying out. Dahlia ‘Karma Chocolate’. Lily bulbs can be planted in pots, for General maintenance flowers this summer. After growing on indoors Check tree ties and stakes. Replace, tighten or or in a cool greenhouse, they can be moved onto slacken them where necessary. Tie up splayed the patio when in flower, so that you can enjoy out branches on conifers that have become the blooms. Bulbs coming up in the rock garden damaged by the weight of snow or by strong winds. Firm back newly planted trees and shrubs or in containers may benefit from overhead if they have been lifted by frost heave or by strong protection from the rain and snow. A sheet of glass or Perspex placed on piles of bricks will do winds. Remove weeds from around the bases of young trees. Check protective coverings on newly the job. Hardy annuals can be sown in pots or modules to provide colour. Summer-flowering planted or borderline hardy trees, shrubs and Dutch iris bulbs can be forced and used as cut climbers, to ensure they remain secure until the flowers. risk of frost has passed.
