We meet the man behind Stoneface’s sculptures

ello and welcome to the April issue of Westside.

This month we’re looking at all things home related, from calming pastel colours for your interior to local businesses who can help you do any work you require (and give you inspiration too).

Home offices have become more of a necessity rather than an indulgence but if you really want to make a statement we have some garden buildings that are not only practical but stylish too.

Closer to home, we speak to Andrew Vickers who you may know as ‘Stoneface’. His hand-carved sculptures are a sight to behold and have drawn attention across the globe.

With travel soon to be back on the agenda (we’re keeping everything crossed), we get advice from local garages on how to ensure your car is ready for the months ahead.

Elsewhere we’ve got your usual mix of fashion, beauty, accessories and more.

PROMOTION

Transform your space THERE’S MUCH MORE TO BLENHEIM ARCHITECTURE – THE TEAM CAN ALSO ADVISE ON ALL ASPECTS OF INTERIOR DESIGN. n addition to crafting beautiful, timeless architectural designs, Blenheim Architecture can also assist you with the interior design of your new home.

“Interior design plays an important part in creating a home with a design that flows throughout,” explains Paul Blackburn, Managing Director.

“Right from the outset of conceptualising a home, we always take the time to consider the purpose of a space and how it will be lived in. As we learn what our clients require, we can begin to focus on how a space will look by arranging pieces of furniture within our floor plans and adding materials to our three dimensional designs. This step really helps our clients to visualise what a room will look like and can also aid in

deciding what details they would like to change,” he says.

The team at Blenheim Architecture can advise on all aspects of interior design and will help you in sourcing the best quality products.

“We discuss your style aspirations in depth, whether that be country classic or ultra modern. Interior design is all about using different textures, materials and colours effectively through wall decor, furniture and accessories. It is here where we use our expertise. We can present you with an entire interior scheme incorporating every room or just

help you with a few.” says Paul.

“We also understand the significance of lighting design. The ambience created in a home is vital in producing the right atmosphere. By combining the available natural light with light fixtures that tie in with the overall desired look, we are able to construct living spaces that ultimately make a client feel at home.” adds Paul.

With their meticulous attention to detail throughout the design stages to the project completion, Blenheim Architecture can transform a space with the combination of outstanding design, skilled craftsmanship and the use of the finest materials and products.

'I've got the key of the door, never been 21 before!'

Bloor & Co are celebrating 21 years in business!

With our knowledge and due diligence of sales and letting, we can achieve better figures for our clients. These are just few of their recent recommendations: After a few years as a landlord, I cannot recommend Bloor and Co highly enough for the top quality services that they provide for landlords. A hugely knowledgeable lettings team that offer a very professional and personalised service. It is a pleasure to work with Joanne Bloor and her team in the office. Properties and tenants are well looked after. Landlords are kept up-to-date with the latest regulatory requirements. And their extensive network of contacts enables property maintenance works to be done to the highest standards and at the lowest possible costs. Have also experienced their services as an estate agent and they are second to none. Really appreciated their honest and direct communications, as well as their drive to help complete our transactions in a timely manner. Highly recommended!

Mr B - 2 months ago Absolutely superb service from Bloor and Co. Estate agents. I was selling my house and I can't recommend their attention to detail, professionalism and sheer determination to assist me in the sale. They kept myself and the purchaser constantly up to date, helped keep the solicitors on task, and the negotiating skills of Joanne Bloor were invaluable. If you are buying/selling in the Sheffield area, I would strongly suggest you consider Bloor and Co. Mrs E - 12 months ago

Joanne arranged the sale of 2 rental properties passed to us by our parents – one was a residential property and one a rental in Sheffield.

The service was superb – as we were not present, Joanne organised keys and viewings. The first property sold very quickly and effortlessly and fetched a good price. With the rental property, she advised us to work with an auctioneer (Mark Jenkinson) and co-ordinated all the dealings between us and them. She arranged for the auctioneer to come to the house and advise on the strategy, guide price and work required and recommended and co-ordinated locksmiths, electricians and clearance companies. Indeed, Joanne also attended the auction and we were glad to report that we obtained over the guide price. We would have no hesitation in recommending Bloor – you are in safe hands, communication is effortless and you are guided through the process at all times. Thank you – excellent service !

Mr P - 3 months ago We were very lucky to have Bloor and Co as our agents for over three years and from the very beginning all we received was the utmost professionalism. We didn't even feel the need to ever have to call Bloor if there was a maintenance issue as an email sent would be immediately responded to. Renting can sometimes be quite stressful however Bloor and Co made our experience very smooth. Thank you to the team.

Crown Office Pods

Concept Interiors The business specialises in bespoke handmade kitchens, bedrooms and their very own German engineered kitchens, all created on the premises, while also offering a highly rated interior design service.

Their reputation has continued to grow, thanks in no small part to excellent craftsmanship and customer service, and the extended showroom already has a wide range of luxury, affordable kitchens, worktops and appliances on display.

The new showroom extension also offers a unique interior design service, maintaining the ethos of providing solutions that meet the demands of a modern lifestyle – yet still providing beautiful living spaces.

Visit their state of the art showroom and see how they can help you create your dream kitchen. Call 0114 285 2762, email info@conceptinteriors.org.uk or visit www.conceptinteriors.org.uk 26 www.sheffieldvibe.com

Working from home has become the new way of life for many people in recent months. Covering Derbyshire and South Yorkshire, Dronfield based Crown Office Pods can provide a defined office space in the garden to enable a work-life balance to be achieved.

Zoom calls and working from home using your kitchen table may be acceptable for a short period but for those now looking to continue to work from home a separate space is essential.

Utilising modern materials ensures zero maintenance and the highest levels of insulation provide a comfortable working environment.

MD, Peter Crown has been building this type of structure for over 20 years including at the London 2012 Olympics and says “The lock together construction used allows for rapid installation and overcomes the maintenance issues associated with conventional wooden buildings, saving the customer both time and cost.”

the home front

If you build it, they will come WHETHER YOU WANT A BETTER SPACE FOR ENTERTAINING, ROOM FOR THE KIDS, A GYM OR A DEDICATED GARDEN OFFICE, THERE ARE MYRIAD OF WAYS TO MAKE YOUR GARDEN A MORE INVITING OR PRACTICAL SPACE. ur gardens have become oases of calm over the last 12 months, particularly during those balmy summer months when we were grateful for being able to spend the time outdoors and escape the realities of the ongoing pandemic. Now spring is in the air - and there’s hope for an end to all restrictions thoughts are already turning to our outdoor spaces and how we can make best use of them over the coming months.

Last year may have laid the foundations for what you would like to do with your garden but now’s the time to put those plans into action.

Whether you want a better space for entertaining, room for the kids, a gym or a dedicated garden office, there are

O

a host of ways to make your dreams a reality.

Garden buildings rarely need planning permission (although there are exceptions which we have outlined later in this article) and can be fitted with water, electrics, heating and – most importantly – wifi, making them a real home from home.

With many people working from home over the last year, a garden office has become a viable and practical alternative to using a cramped corner in the kitchen, giving you peace, quiet and great views over your outdoor space.

Garden buildings aren’t limited to offices though and can be used for all manner of things including a gym, a playroom, cinema room or a

bar/entertaining space - the only limit is your imagination.

Perhaps not quite as grand but equally effective at enhancing your outdoor space is adding something like an outdoor kitchen, bar or pizza oven which, when combined with a decked or paved area and comfortable seating, can create a truly impressive space to entertain your guests – which will become a reality when restrictions hopefully lift on 21 June.

However big or small your ambitions, over the next few pages we look at garden buildings and additions and how they can improve your outdoor space and speak to some local companies who are in a prime position to help your achieve your garden goals.

GARDENING

A garden building can have multiple uses

GARDEN OFFICE he desire for a dedicated space to work comfortably and quietly at home has probably increased tenfold over the last 12 months. While our homes often meet all our needs for family life, not everyone has the space for a dedicated work area.

Too often, home workers have found themselves in cramped corners of the home trying to juggle office responsibilities, phone calls and Zoom meetings, all to the background of homeschooling, housework and the distraction of Home Under the Hammer.

Building a fully-equipped garden office can give you everything you crave and more, as well as adding value to your home. And it’s easier than you think.

T

Case Study 1: Dore Garden Offices

PLANNING: hat you’re wanting to build in your garden is a key aspect in determining whether or not you’ll need planning permission.

However, the size of whatever you’re planning to build will have the biggest impact.

According to the UK government, a building or enclosure that is being built within the boundaries of a house that is ‘incidental to the enjoyment of the dwellinghouse’ is designated as a Class E building.

A Class E building does not require planning permission if it, and other existing buildings, do not cover more than 50 per cent of the total area of the house. They also cannot be built in front of the principal elevation of the house — so no building out on your front garden!

You’ll need planning permission if: • Your garden building is going to be more than one storey or have eaves higher than 2.5 metres.

• The overall height is going to be more than 4 metres for a dualpitched roof.

• The overall height is going to be more than 3 metres for other roof types.

• The overall height is going to be more than 2.5 metres if the building is within 2 metres of the boundary of the curtilage (borders or fences) of your home.

• The building will take up more than 50 per cent of all land outside the house. This includes your current garden buildings — if your shed takes up 20 per cent of the land outside your house and you want to build a log cabin that will take up 35 per

W

32 www.sheffieldvibe.com

cent of the land, you’d need planning permission as combined, they take up 55 per cent of the land.

• You want a veranda, balcony, or raised platform as part of the building.

• If your residence is a listed building, you’ll need planning permission regardless.

If you’re building a shed or summer house that doesn’t extend further than the dimensions above, you should be good to go without planning permission in terms of dimensions and space requirements and regulations. The vast majority of log cabins, garden sheds, and summer houses will class as Class E buildings and not need planning permission in this case.

If you’re planning to make your outdoor building a place to work from or simply socialise in, you won’t usually need planning permission (unless the dimensions extend as above). However, the use of your garden building can impact the need for planning permission.

You’ll need planning permission if: • You’re planning to use your outdoor building for sleeping accommodation — such as a summerhouse in the garden for adult children or elderly relatives to live in to retain their privacy while living at home.

• The building could, in any way, impact your neighbours’ right to privacy. Think tree houses — your kids will love them, but your neighbour might not be best pleased.

Former sculptor Adam Reynolds launched Dore Garden Offices in 2011 with a focus on creating beautiful spaces to complement any garden. Their bespoke rooms are built off-site and once will installed will leave you with a high spec, fully insulated and plastered space, ready for you to move in to.

The company are launching an ‘off the peg’ building called the ‘Toby’, which comes in three sizes and can be installed in seven days. These instant workspaces, with prices starting from £6,900, come fully plastered with internal light and sockets as standard and includes electrical connection to your house.

Do you think there’s been an increase

OUTDOOR ENTERTAINING nviting family and friends around for a barbecue or for a few drinks has seemed like a pipe dream for so long but is now close to becoming a reality. But does your outdoor space give you what you need? You could need better or more seating, an outdoor cooking area to include a barbecue or pizza oven, or a dedicated bar area, which would really impress your guests.

The ‘Toby’ is an instant workspace that comes fully fitted and equipped

in demand for garden buildings over the last 12 months?

As you can imagine the demand for garden offices and rooms in general has grown incredibly since the first lockdown. Our enquiries have gone from two a week to two a day and are already booking into Autumn 2021. Currently we have so many calls from people desperate to move their work place from the kitchen table or bedroom to a purpose-built space!

How easy is it to put a building in your garden?

It could not be simpler - we deal with all the groundworks (or can organise it) and don’t need a concrete base or patio to install on to. We sort the electrical and internet connection and they are left ready to move in to.

Is it just offices or do your rooms

have other functions?

The list of garden room uses really is endless. We have built yoga studios, TV rooms, teenage dens, libraries, offices, Split use rooms with storage areas, gyms, workshops, paint studios, have built a room for a taxidermist, a model train set and a miniature railway station.

What have you been working on recently?

Our teams have already installed half a dozen rooms this year – a gym, an office with a bathroom, a huge furniture workshop, a dedicated garden room and a couple of our Toby offices.

What’s been your favourite project?

We built an off grid room on an allotment for Sage, a Sheffield charity who promote the mental and physical well-being of adults in our community.

Their existing meeting room was a leaking shed and it felt fantastic to provide them with an up-grade.

An outdoor kitchen

A South African ‘Braai’

Case Study 2: kelham island concrete Our gardens and outdoor spaces can be a great place to entertain. From permanent seating and eating areas to outdoor bars, gardens and outdoor spaces have become an extension to our homes, more an extra room rather than something completely separate. If you’re thinking of making some improvements to your outdoor space in 2021, Kelham Island Concrete are perfectly placed to make your dreams a reality.

Concrete is not only cool and cutting edge, it is an ideal all-weather material.

Oliver Miller is the man behind Kelham Island Concrete, a Sheffield company leading the way in giving a new, high-end appeal to a material that was previously regarded as strictly functional.

The company can supply and install barbecues, benches and seating areas, islands and worktops, dining tables and work with The Braai Man to fit South African-style cooking areas.

“Once we had discovered what you can do with concrete inside homes, we started to realise the potential that concrete has outdoors too,” said Oliver. “It is really hard-wearing and weather proof, which makes it the perfect material to use outside.

“With the global pandemic encouraging more outdoor entertaining, we have seen that customers are now starting to think about how to create an outdoor space that allows for socially distanced entertainment. We are open to any new and bespoke ideas to make your concrete outdoor space come alive.” www.sheffieldvibe.com 33

Enjoy your conservatory all year round SAGARS’ REVOLUTIONARY 365 CONSERVATORY ROOF INSULATION SYSTEM KEEPS CONSERVATORIES WARM IN WINTER AND COOL IN SUMMER. onservatories have long been a desirable addition to the home but too often become neglected parts of the house if they’re too cold in winter and too hot in summer. But what if that could change?

Sagars’ 365 conservatory roof insulation system can transform your conservatory and make it into a room you can use all year round .

At this time of year it’s all about keeping warm and Sagars’ insulation system, originally believed to have been inspired by NASA, can do just that, as well as keeping you super cool in summer.

The insulation is built up of complex layers of aluminium foil and insulation that is perfect for insulating conservatory roofs, reducing heat loss by about 95 per cent and keeping the heat out in summer. It’s finished with brilliant white tongue and groove insulated pvc panels to give a maintenance-free bright appearance.

Using the 365 insulation system, Sagars, a family-based Yorkshire company, have been turning hundreds of draughty unused conservatories into rooms that can be used for any purpose, all year round.

VAT is charged at five per cent as this type of insulation comes under the government’s energy savings rate.

The cost of a 365 system is far less than you might think, with a 3m x 3m conservatory typically costing around £1,699 including VAT, fitting and comes with a ten-year guarantee.

All work is completed in the day, following government social distancing guidelines to keep customers and fitters safe.

Good, solid advice CATERING TO BOTH TRADE CUSTOMERS AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC, CARRACKS IS A ONE-STOPSHOP FOR ALL YOUR PAINTING AND DECORATING NEEDS.

Simon Bradbury and Jake Crutchley

ome businesses seem to stand the test of time and one that continues to go from strength to strength is Carracks Wallpaper & Paint in the heart of the busy, bustling Crookes shopping district.

The business was launched in 1947 and, as many Sheffield folk know, the Carracks family includes local music legend Paul, whose parents Ben and Joan were the original owners.

Simon Bradbury worked in the shop for 15 years alongside Paul’s brother John before taking over the business a couple of years ago.

But while the Carrack family link may have gone, Simon has ensured the working practices that made the original shop an instant success remain unchanged.

As a decorator who has worked in the industry for nearly 30 years, Simon has a wealth of knowledge to supply paints,

S

wallpapers, brushes and other accessories, such as fillers and pastes, to both trade customers and the general public.

“Many people come in for some good solid advice,” confirms Simon. “Customers come to us because we provide the right products and a personal service.We can get hold of most brands and they are discounted, so we are also cheaper than a lot of other paint and wallpaper stores.”

Working alongside Simon is local lad Jake Crutchley. Jake came to the shop after receiving a solid grounding in the business during a three-and-a-half year spell working for Johnstone’s Paints.

“This is a small shop but it’s really busy,” he says. “People pop in all the time and it’s great to have a chat with the customers and help them make the right choices.”

Whether you are a home owner just touching up one room or a professional painter and decorator, Carracks is the one-stop-shop for all your trade and retail needs.

Their top-quality paint brands include Dulux, Heritage, Johnstone’s and popular chalk paint, Rust-oleum, whilst their brush and tool brands include Harris and Purdy. If you need a little inspiration, they have hundreds of wallpaper books for you to leaf through and even provide a colour matching service – just bring in

the shade you want matching up and Carracks will do the rest.

And though Carracks continues to give the same good old fashioned friendly service and wide range of paints and wallpapers it always has, Simon is bringing the business firmly into the 21st century.

It may look like a modestly-sized shop on the outside but, as two terrace houses put together, Carracks has many nooks and crannies full of paints and products to discover.

If you’ve never had a peek inside the store, you’ll be amazed.

emember. The walls have ears.

Not only that, but these days they’re sprouting eyes, and a nose as well as some very distinctive expressions.

If you’ve spotted something like this recently, don’t worry. It doesn’t mean that the sympathetic men in white coats are on the way to your door. It’s merely a sign that Andrew Vickers has been in the vicinity.

Andrew is the mastermind behind a business – and the clue is in the name – called Stoneface. His is a remarkable success story which has seen ordinary stone transformed into works of art. And in doing so, he has built an international enterprise. Customers from all over the

R

world now beat a path to his door in Storrs Wood, a green enclave amid the trees in Loxley Valley, on the fringes of Sheffield.

They have been joined by a string of celebrities seeking one-off commissions, though for confidentiality reasons he’s not naming names. That much is set in stone.

He is quick to stress that success has come as a result of a little help from the family, in the shape of his son Tom, 26.

“Tom is the one who does all the social media and marketing. He’s the driving force behind the business. I just carve stone,” he says modestly.

So what was his route to this unusual career?

“I didn’t do very well at school, partly because I’m dyslexic and they didn’t understand it back then. I have always loved stone as a material, so I became a dry stone waller. But it soon became apparent that once you’ve built walls for a while, there was little else to do.

“It occurred to me that when I rebuilt sections of wall, there was no record of who had built it originally, which I thought was sad. So I started putting stone faces in the walls as a kind of signature. I’d never carved before in my life. One night I just went home with a piece of stone and started working on it.

It took me quite a few days to do it, but that was where the idea came from.

“My first attempt was rather simplistic,

067 WSide Apr21 11/03/2021 17:44 Page 1

but it made me think hey, I can do this.

If I get an image in my head, I can replicate it in stone.”

Having discovered he had a natural talent for sculpture, it was a logical leap to start on more ambitious pieces.

Ornate candle holders, stone hearts and statuary were in high demand.

An unexpected challenge arose when he took to a creative way of showing his appreciation to the NHS during the Covid pandemic. Messages of support began to appear on boulders, providing a unique way of commemorating the events of that year in a permanent form.

Orders of all kinds have also come in from as far away as the USA.

Could one of the stone faces with the glum expression be inspired by Donald Trump lamenting the ‘stolen’ election?

Perhaps not.

But his biggest challenge is yet to come. Andrew is now investigating crowdfunding for the most ambitious plan to date. It involves building a stone circle complete with ten standing stones surrounding a central monolith, each of them individually sculpted.

The site chosen for the immense structure is in Storrs Wood. Its name?

Storrshenge.

But his talents have also be applied to other materials. Andrew is a passionate devotee to the principles of recycling, a commitment he demonstrates by crafting

all his works in waste stone, the material discarded by commercial stone yards.

This led him to create two of his more unusual works, an elephant and a human figure – fashioned out of scrap DVDs. It’s all a far cry from his days spent exposed to the elements working on dry stone wall repairs on farms all over South Yorkshire. And there is a natural pride in displaying his works at the frequent open days when visitors come from far and wide.

“I love it. There are times when I wake up and think ‘have we really done that’?”

Buy with confidence THE EXPERIENCED STAFF AT PA JEWELLERY CAN HELP YOU CHOOSE A DIAMOND THAT IS PERFECT FOR YOU. uying a diamond is an exciting experience but it can also be a little bewildering. Once you start looking it soon becomes clear that there are a lot of things to think about when making your choice. These are decisions that can have a lot of emotional as well as financial significance but a little guidance from experts can be a big help in ensuring you feel confident and happy with your purchase.

If you are looking for a diamond you will probably have read about the ‘4 Cs’ – Cut, Colour, Clarity and Carat. We like to add a fifth ‘C’ – Confidence. This backs up the others and gives you the peace of mind to enjoy your new piece of jewellery.

For many people confidence comes from having a certificate detailing the measurements and grades of their diamond, but there is more to it than simply having a piece of paper. Many different laboratories and companies produce ‘certificates’ but they are not all equally useful. Check that the certificate you are given is produced by an independent laboratory with the correct expertise: we tend to choose diamonds with GIA (Gemological Institute of

B

78 www.sheffieldvibe.com

America) reports as they are industry leaders and widely regarded as producing the most consistent grading.

The certificate should also be for the individual diamond you are buying and should detail its measurements and grades thoroughly. Pieces with more than one stone may have individual reports for each diamond (a pair of earrings or a three stone ring for example), just for the main diamond (in a halo cluster for instance) or not have a certificate at all if the diamonds are all under 0.25ct. The major laboratories usually laser inscribe the report number on the girdle of the

diamond. This can only be seen under magnification but reassures you that the diamond and the report match.

Not all diamonds will have certificates: it is only over the last few years that they have become commonplace, so if you are buying a pre-owned piece it will often not have one. Even today many diamonds are not certificated, for instance with smaller stones because their size means the additional cost is not justified.

The easiest way to feel confident in your purchase is to buy from a jeweller you trust. Ask questions! Diamonds are fascinating and learning more about the stone you are going to own and treasure can add to the excitement. We staff our showroom with experienced and qualified gemmologists and diamond graders who love to talk about diamonds and share their knowledge. We can help you understand the other ‘Cs’ and choose a diamond that is perfect for you.

The reunion of a lifetime One of Sheffield’s most famous nightclubs is returning for one night to celebrate the city’s first weekend of freedom.

The “Back to The Roxy” event – which is booked to take place on Saturday 26 June – is promising to be “the reunion of a lifetime” as it welcomes hundreds of revellers.

With a capacity in excess of 2,000, and one of the most jaw-dropping lightshows in the country, few venues were more high profile than the Roxy that reigned supreme in Sheffield in the 1980s and 1990s The nightclub became famous nationally as one of the venues for the ‘Hitman & Her’ TV series. Everyone from Kylie Minogue to the London Boys performed there.

The ‘Back To The Roxy’ event follows the success of similar night back in 2019. Tickets are £10 and available from https://www.gigantic.com The promoters are donating 50p from each ticket to Cash For Kids.

Three tech-powered Sheffield trailblazers are searching for potential new talent via Kickstart, the government’s new work experience scheme for young jobless.

City, one of the country’s most successful taxi firms, its app-fuelled delivery business City Grab and sister tech company Caboodleit are giving six unemployed young people the chance to get ‘a foot in the door’. If the lucky half-dozen show the right potential during their six-month work experience placements, permanent careers will be up for grabs. Kickstart aims to get jobless 1624-years old receiving Universal Credit on the road to jobs.

“The pandemic has made it so difficult for young people to find jobs. We are giving them a chance to make their mark with us,” said Arnie Singh, the Sheffield entrepreneur behind the three brands.

His businesses - which employ 60 in Sheffield - are working with The Source Skills Academy at Meadowhall to recruit Kickstart applicants.

Bespoke furniture City homelessness charity Emmaus Sheffield has launched its first bespoke furniture range.

Emmaus Sheffield is the working community with quality, self-contained accommodation, training facilities and a workspace for previously homeless men and women aged 18 years and over.

It aims through its Social Enterprise programme to provide meaningful work and enable the people it supports – known as companions - to eventually become self-supporting once more.

One of the charity’s main fundraising schemes is its extremely popular second hand store at the organisations headquarters in the historic Sipelia Works, a former cutlery factory at Cadman Street, close to the city’s Canal Basin. And now the companions have launched their own hand crafted furniture range to boost sales as the charity emerges from lockdown.

Good news for house buyers in Sheffield IF YOU ARE BUYING A HOUSE, OR LOOKING TO BUY ONE, IN THE SHEFFIELD AREA, THE RECENT RAFT OF ANNOUNCEMENTS REGARDING PROPERTY PRICES, STAMP DUTY AND MORTGAGES IS LIKELY TO BE GOOD NEWS FOR YOU. BY CAROLINE MURRAY, HEAD OF PROPERTY AT GRAYSONS. ne of the best ways of maximising the potential value of your property investment is to buy it in an area that is undergoing good urban regeneration. Sheffield is one of the top five urban regeneration spots in the UK, according to developer SevenCapital, which says that property prices have risen in Sheffield by around 44 per cent in the last ten years.

Part of the increase resulted from increased demand for property, fuelled by substantial investment by way of the ‘Heart of the City Masterplan” which brought about improvements in the city, such as the Peace Gardens and the Winter Garden. Now, a £470million “Heart of the City Masterplan II”, which focuses on the retail sector, is expected to accelerate demand for property as Sheffield continues to grow.

The housing market has certainly exploded in Sheffield over the last year, with people taking advantage of the stamp duty holiday that was announced in July 2020. However, as the stamp duty holiday was due to come to an end on 31 March 2021, many people were left worrying that they were not going to complete their purchases on time due to delays resulting from COVID-19 lockdowns and restrictions and pressures on lenders, search providers and professionals in the property sector as well as the extra demand caused by the stamp duty holiday itself.

Fortunately, in his budget on 3 March this year, Chancellor Rishi Sunak announced the good news that the stamp duty holiday has been extended to the end of September 2021. This will be a relief if you are one of those who are in the process of purchasing a property and hoping to take advantage of the stamp duty saving of up to £15,000 but were worried that you would not be able to complete the purchase before end March.You now have until the end of June 2021 to complete purchases and

O

pay no stamp duty on the first £500,000 of the purchase price. From 1 July 2021, you will not have to pay stamp duty on the first £250,000 of any purchases that are completed before 30 September 2021.

Funding your purchase in the first place may also have just become easier if you have been struggling to put together the 15 per cent deposit demanded by most lenders in order to buy your new home.You could now find it easier to get a mortgage with a lower deposit as the government’s new mortgage guarantee scheme becomes available in April 2021.

Banks and building societies will once again offer mortgages of up to 95 per cent of the cost of the property, and you will only have to find a five per cent deposit.

The government will guarantee to repay lenders’ losses made if, for example, borrowers lose their job or property is repossessed and house prices have crashed. Under the scheme, 95 per cent mortgages can be offered on property up to £600,000 – subject to the usual affordability checks. Major lenders such as Lloyds, Nat West, Santander, Barclays and HSBC have already announced they will start offering these mortgages in April 2021 and Virgin Money will come

on board shortly afterwards.

Caroline Murray, partner and head of Graysons’ conveyancing teams says: “Whilst the scheme will be available to anyone looking for a mortgage, it is particularly good news for first-time buyers who traditionally struggle to find a big enough deposit to get a foot on the property ladder. With the average house price in Sheffield around £210,000, a deposit of five per cent would be £21,000 less than a 15 per cent deposit.

Estate agents, Rightmove, says that the scheme has already created interest, with use of its mortgage calculator increasing by 85 per cent within half an hour of the chancellor’s announcement!”

ASK THE EXPERT

STEPHEN HODGSON PhD

Hallamshire Physiotherapy Clinic ASK THE EXPERT What is your role in your company?

ANNE ROGERS

Partner and head of Graysons’ private client team ow can I ensure that my family’s financial future is protected?

Make a will and keep it up to date.

It’s probably the most important financial decision you will make in your life and it is the only way you can be sure that your estate goes to the people you want it to go to when you die.

If you die without making a will (intestate), your assets will be distributed to relatives according to strict intestacy rules. If there are no surviving relatives as detailed within the rules, your estate will go to the government after it has been unclaimed for 12 years. The latest government figures show that there are currently over 9,000 unclaimed estates, worth billions of pounds.

Without a will, your spouse or civil partner may not inherit all of your estate – especially if you have children, in which case the spouse will only receive a percentage of your estate and the rest would go to your children. If you are an unmarried couple, your partner will not receive any of your estate without a will that specifies that they should, which could leave your family financially vulnerable. If you remarry or enter into a civil partnership, any previous will is revoked, so, if you have children from a previous marriage or partnership and you want to ensure that they are provided for, you must make a new will. If you separate, but do not divorce, without a will to the contrary, your estranged spouse could still inherit part of your estate.

Anne Rogers, partner and head of Graysons’ private client team says: “Family dynamics may be diverse and complex but protecting them by making a will is simple. Our private client experts will be happy to discuss your family circumstances with you and draft a will that meets your needs and that of your family.”

Director and clinical lead for musculoskeletal problems.

How did you end up in this type of business?

I have been a physiotherapist for 30 years and I am also involved in teaching and research.The clinic was started with the intention of providing a centre of excellence for Sheffield Physiotherapy with a dedicated experienced team.

Why is it important to seek out the best possible advice in your particular line of work?

We specialise in problems that don’t get better, provide treatment and give our patients the tools to get back to activity as soon as possible.

Research suggests that rehabilitation is a complex process that requires the patient to be in the centre.Treatment must address physical problems and also other factors that will impact on the pain, such as poor sleep, stress levels, beliefs and fear. Treatment must be active and not rely on passive approaches such as massage, electrotherapy and manipulation.

What specific expertise can you offer our readers?

We can help with a whole range of musculoskeletal problems including: • Back/Neck problems • Tendon problems • Muscle injury • Sprains/strains • Peripheral joint injury • Nerve injuries • Sporting injuries • Arthritis • Acute/chronic pain • Cycle set up and optimisation • Home visits • Post-operative rehabilitation Any future developments for yourself or your business that you would like to tell us about?

We have recently opened a new dedicated exercise facility HP@863 on Ecclesall Road. We are working in conjunction with Community Wellness Services to provide specifically designed exercise rehabilitation. This is not just for people with injuries, but anyone who wants to maintain or improve their physical health regardless of ability. Exercise for all.

In the summer of 1976,Volkswagen launched a distinctively sporty Golf onto the market: the GTI. At that time no one at Volkswagen had any idea that the Golf GTI would eventually become the world’s most successful compact sports car. But that is exactly what happened.

Now Volkswagen is marking the 45th birthday of this iconic car with an anniversary model: the Golf GTI Clubsport 45.

The Clubsport 45 is ready to take to the road with more individual customisation than ever before. The exterior boasts a striking black roof complete with black roof spoiler, in homage to the black-framed rear window of the first Golf GTI. The interior of the anniversary model also showcases classic GTI insignia.

With the new Golf GTI Clubsport 45, Volkswagen is adding a new chapter to the high-performance GTI versions released.

What price for power?

CUPRA has opened the order books for the latest variant of its iconic Leon hatchback with the launch of the 300PS 2.0 TSI powertrain.The brand’s flagship performance hatch is now available to order with prices starting from £35,660 RRP for the CUPRA Leon Hatch VZ2 TSI DSG-auto 300 and rising to £37,390 for VZ3 trim.

Available exclusively with the DSG-auto transmission, the latest iteration of the renowned 2.0-litre TSI four-cylinder engine develops 300PS and 400Nm of torque.

The turbocharged, direct injection petrol engine propels CUPRA Leon from 062mph in just 5.7 seconds and is limited to a top speed of 155mph.

As well as an increase in power output over its predecessor, the new CUPRA Leon is also more efficient, returning up to 37.2mpg on the combined WLTP cycle and CO2 emissions from 171g/km.

The future has arrived The order books are now open for ŠKODA’s new Enyaq iV, the brand’s first purpose-built battery electric vehicle.

Based on the Volkswagen Group’s modular electrification toolkit (MEB), the highly-awaited all-electric SUV is offered with two battery size options, a new range structure and a new finance offering: Lease&Care.

The new Enyaq iV introduces a new way for customers to perfectly tailor the car to their tastes and requirements.

Instead of selecting from traditional trim levels, customers choose the battery size they need, select an interior design and then personalise their vehicle from a comprehensive range of equipment packs and individual options.

From launch, the range consists of two variants; Enyaq iV 60 Nav and Enyaq iV 80 with 62kWh and 82kWh battery packs respectively. Five design selections are available; Loft, Lodge, Lounge, Suite and ecoSuite, all of which offer a different interior look and materials.

Prices start from £31,085.

Volvo recharges The future of Volvo Cars is electric, and the new Volvo C40 Recharge is the latest manifestation of the company’s commitment to a zero-emission future.

The C40 Recharge has all the benefits of an SUV but with a lower and sleeker design. It is based on the CMA vehicle platform and is the first Volvo model in history designed as pure electric only.

Already by 2025, it aims for 50 per cent of its global sales volume to consist of fully electric cars, with the rest hybrids.

By 2030, it plans for every car it sells to be pure electric.

The propulsion consists of twin electric motors, one on the front and one on the rear axle, powered by a 78kWh battery that can be fast charged to 80 per cent in about 40 minutes (expected). It offers an anticipated range of around 420km (261 miles), which is expected to improve over time via overthe-air software updates. www.sheffieldvibe.com 85

MOTORING

Tavern Group

Newhall BMW Established in 2002, Newhall provides specialist facilities for BMW owners and aficionados across Sheffield and the surrounding areas.

Headed up by Sean Cooke, who has been employed in the trade since leaving school in 1986, the team of expert mechanics and BMW enthusiasts know their way around a vehicle or two - with 20 years of Sean’s three-decade spanning career spent working for the motoring giant.

Newhall recognise that BMW owners need a realistic and reliable alternative to the “often excessive” prices charged for servicing, maintenance and repairs by the main dealer network. That’s why with it is possible to have your BMW or new Mini serviced and maintained with the all the care and attention it deserves, but at a fraction of the cost. While vehicles still under manufacturer’s warranty are fitted with genuine dealership-accredited parts.

Call 0114 242 1318 or visit newhallsheffield.com to find out more.

Spring is in the air and there couldn’t be a better time to make sure the winter months, and in some cases lack of use, has not affected your vehicle.

The cold weather alone can affect many parts of your car.

Driving on snow and ice can damage your tyres and wheel alignment, cold temperatures also reduces the tyre pressure.

Brake pads can also pick up salt and grit from the roads making them less efficient.

Your battery may have had to work extra hard with the lights and heater being on that bit longer, but also standing idle on a driveway or in a garage drains your battery life.

And let’s not forget about the windscreen wipers that have been working overtime and may have also been damaged by the cold weather.

Call into any of Tavern Group’s six garages for a Free Spring Check, where they will check the condition of your tyres, battery levels and windscreen wipers.

Visit their website at www.taverngaragegroup.co.uk where you can book a service or MOT on line or find your nearest garage.
