Attending an open day can bean enjoyable experience,socialising with otherprospective buyers and sharingstories with other househunters. However, as themarket picks up and more andmore buyers find themselves ina position to visit newdevelopments, so an initialrush on new build andrefurbished homes could seesome buyers competing forhousing stock. Make sureyou’re well prepared before youattend an open day so that,should you decide that theproperty is perfect for you, noother buyer will beat you to it.

Attending a launch or open day at a new property development has always beenan excellent way for prospective buyers to get a feel for the property, thecommunity, and the new life that home would offer. In recent months, numbers oflaunches fell, but as 2010 sees a resurgence in show home launches, open daysand viewing events, we’ve researched how to make the most of the opportunityand secure the right property and the best finance deals.

Hot Topic//// OPEN HOUSE

How to make the mostOF AN OPEN DAY

Your Move26

p24-35:p03-12 19/1/10 15:49


TELEPHONE IN ADVANCE

For some open days, agents askyou to call in advance so that theycan issue you a personalinvitation. By contacting theestate agent, you’ll be able toascertain what property types areon offer and decide if thedevelopment is going to suit you.By registering in advance anddiscussing your requirementswith the agent, who will usuallyalso be in attendance on the day,you will then already be a stepahead in your relationship withthem – and your negotiations forthe property – should you decideto go ahead and buy. Keepmoat isasking prospective guests toregister their interest for the opendays at their forthcoming sites.

GET THERE EARLY

Arrive on time, or a few minutesbefore, to speak to the salesteam about your interest in thedevelopment and yourcircumstances. You may wellfind yourself on an earlier ormore extended tour than latearrivals, giving you the bestopportunity to ask anyquestions and longer to makeup your mind.

BEFRIEND THE SALES PERSON

Getting to know the agent orsales assistant at the site is a greatway of making the follow up toan open day easier. Get chattingto one you feel you can trust andask for their business card. If, in

the days succeeding the tour ofthe development, you have anyfurther questions you then have acontact who can help you findout what you want to know, andyou’ll avoid explaining yourcriteria and personalcircumstances more than once.

TAKE A FRIEND

Ask a friend or a relative toaccompany you on the open day,who is familiar with the type ofproperty you’re seeking andyour budget. They may havesome great questions for thesales assistant which haven’t yetoccurred to you and, after thetour, may be able to jog yourmemory as to which propertyhad the biggest ensuite, orwhich deal allowed you tochoose your own kitchen.

SORT OUT YOUR FINANCE

Don’t leave your finance untilyou’ve decided you want theproperty. Before visiting thedevelopment, speak to yourother half and visit the bank todiscuss how much they’d beprepared to lend. Sue Bullenfrom Sutton Kersh’s Allertonbranch has this advice: “Thebank will look at your earningsand savings to work out whatsize property you can affordand the monthly payments withyou. Before going to an openday, you’ll need a deposit inplace as there are no longer any100 per cent mortgages. Thebank can issue you with a

mortgage guarantee certificateto show the developer at theopen day that you are in aposition to buy, and it’s alsobest to take along two forms ofID with you – a passport orphotographic drivers’ licenceand a utility bill.” Prepareyourself well beforehand, andyou’ll feel much more confidentwhen you’re at the developmentand more in control.

THE BENEFITS

Elaine Taylor, regional salesmanager for Lovell Northwest,who are currently building inthree locations within Liverpool– set to launch shortly –commented: “In our experience,open days -whether for showhomes or to launch the latestproperties – are always popularwith buyers. Those who take thetime to attend will be amongstthe first to see the new productand often have access toadditional services that wouldnormally cost them money.” Sheadded: “For example, when itcomes to launching a new phaseof homes or even a brand newdevelopment, Lovell regularlyhas a fully qualified financialadvisor on hand to chat tocustomers. They can offerguidance on a variety offinancial matters relating topurchasing a home; includingadvising them on the bestmortgage package to suit theirindividual circumstances.”

FINAL THOUGHTS

We’ve compiled a list of all thedevelopments set to launch inLiverpool and the surroundingarea in 2010, and wish you all thebest in the search for your home.Remember, developments withgreat initiatives for first timebuyers are likely to prove popularso be prepared for somecompetition, and good luck!

Carolyn Shaw, property manager at CastleEstates, began her career as front of housefor a property firm. Carolyn now deals withall elements of the lettings process.

How did you get into property?After leaving school I felt that university wasn’t for me. Ibegan working with a training company called TrainingPlus. One of the placements was at Castle Estates where Ibegan as a receptionist. A year later the property managerleft and Castle Estates approached me asking if I wouldtake on the position.

How has your career progressed?Initially it was daunting to be dealing with new properties,but I’ve developed much more confidence within the role.I have taken ARLA exams and am now a registeredARLA property professional. I enjoy meeting new clientsand striking a friendly note with landlords and tenants.

What is your new year’s resolution?I want to travel more. I’m busy saving up for a trip to NewYork later this year! The first thing I want to do there is go to the top of The Empire State building, I can’t wait!

Q My mother has recently died and she owns a retirementflat. I am now dealing with the sale of the property and asI don’t know any information about the property, couldyou let me know what I am likely to encounter.

A I gather if are dealing with the sale then Probate hasbeen granted for your mother and named you as Executorof the Estate. Most Executors have limited knowledgeabout the property they are selling and therefore I suggestthat if you are completing any information forms on theproperty you advise “not known”, unless of course you areaware of something from your mother.

You will have to continue to pay ground rent and servicecharge payments to the management company until theproperty is sold. Failure to keep these up to date is classedas a breach of the Lease.

A Home Information Pack (HIP) will have to be preparedand paid for by you. Your estate agent or Solicitor will beable to help in this respect. The cost will be approximately£400.00. In addition to this, you will have to provide repliesto leasehold enquiries which your buyer’s solicitor will raise.The managing agents will have to provide replies to theseenquiries but they will charge a fee. Normally this is in theregion of £150.00 plus VAT and this will have to be paid tothem before any replies are provided.

Fees will of course be charged by your estate agent andSolicitor acting on your behalf in connection with the sale.These are normally discharged from the sale proceeds.

Most retirement flat Leases contain a clause to the effectthat a percentage of the sale price has to be paid back tothe Management Company. In most cases this is a minimumof 1% but then a further percentage can be added for thenumber of years the flat has been owned. Normally this is amaximum of 5% but each Lease will differ. Your Solicitorwill obtain this information from the managementcompany prior to completion and this will have to be paidfrom the sale proceed.

The management company may also suggest a retention bemade from the completion monies which will be held in thesolicitors client account until the current years accounts forservice charge have been finalised. This is normal practiceand once the accounts have been published to show eithera surplus or deficit, then these funds will be used towardsthis and the balance sent to you.

I cannot comment any further but the Solicitor acting onyour behalf will be able to advise you further when youhave instructed them.

We canvassed the opinion of local businesses to ask how they managed in the sleetand snow and whether more could have been done to keep things moving.

“We saw a drop-off inbusiness. By the Tuesdayevening everyone had gonehome from work and thiscarried on until theThursday. We had to clearthe ice ourselves. We put ourown salt down, the councilnever touched it. We couldn’tget any deliveries from oursuppliers which has left ustwo weeks behind on ourorders.”

Paul Hoyle Owner, Zen Furniture

“This period after Christmasis our quietest time of the yearanyway but on the Wednesdayand Thursday we ended upclosing. As far as I’m aware thecouncil did everything theycould to clear the street butthe Tuesday and theWednesday were absolutelydead. I think we only hadabout three people come inthe whole time.”

Kate SimmonsCo-owner, News fromNowhere

“It’s been fine really. It’s afact of life that it snows andyou just have to get on withit. We gritted outside tomake sure people could getin and all the staff werebrilliant throughout. It wasquieter than normal butthere again it’s usually quietat this time of year.”

Dick MawdsleyCo-owner, Utility

“It’s not been too bad but it hasslowed us down. With peopleunable to get out and about it’sbeen quiet. The front of thebuilding was gritted well butthe back remained thick snowwhich was awkward. Maybe theside roads could have beengritted better. When the snowset in on the Tuesday it waspretty much dead.”

Sarah EdwardsCo-owner, Venus in Furs Vintage

“Retailers operating in ClaytonSquare Shopping Centre wereseverely affected by the coldweather. This impacted on thetransport network, making itvery difficult for both staff andpublic to travel. Pedestrianareas adjacent to the centrewere not salted until theThursday and then the coldtemperatures kept people away.Trade throughout the centrewas down 50 per centcompared to the previousweek.”

You must be very proudthat your memorabiliawill be displayed in thenew museum?I’m very honoured. It’s apleasure and a privilege tobe asked to be part of such afantastic new institution.

You must have a realfondness for the city toloan these items?It’s a fantastic city. To beasked to make such adonation shows themuseum must really valuethem. Hopefully they caninspire future generations inthe city.

You grew up in Kirkbyand trained at the Kirkbyclub. That must havegiven you a greatgrounding in boxing?Yes, absolutely. The clubwas originally in the oldRAF camp in Fazakerleybefore it moved to KirkbyStadium in 1963. I started atthe age of 10 and it wasreally intensive.

Were you always confidentyou could reach the top?Not really, I was justconfident that I could give100 per cent. I always knew

how much I could give. Youhave to be committed andset out to do your best.

What do you miss mostabout those days?I don’t miss it. It was agreat time then but it’s inthe past. The sport hasadvanced since my time. Iwatch it now and see allthese young lads comingthrough and there’s loadsmore titles to compete for,more challenges and moremoney available.

Does any of the currentcrop of Liverpool boxersstand out for you?David Price could go a longway if he stays focused. He’slooked after quite well, he’sdedicated and he’s got thepower. I can’t say that Ifollow the sport all thatclosely though, just ingeneral. Some of the bigfights I’ll watch specifically,like the Haye vs Valuevmatch or the MannyPacquiao bout.

Who was your idolgrowing up?Joe Lewis. I sawMuhammad Ali when hefought Joe Bugner in Las

Vegas and when he fought inIreland. I believe he was thegreatest fighter of all time,but Joe Lewis was my idol.

Your son is a professionalgolfer. How is his careerprogressing?He’s still trying to breakthrough. He’s been playingsince he was seven andhe’s got a real talent but it’sa tough sport. He’ll keeptrying though.

How would you rate yourown golfing talents?I’m not bad. I play off ahandicap of 12 now but Istill have to work at it. Youhave to change your style ifyou want to get better. Youtry and develop your ownstyle but really you needto go back to the basicsyou were taught in thefirst place.

When it comes to a roll call of Merseyside’s sporting royalty,boxing legend John Conteh can be mentioned in the same breath as such luminaries asDixie Dean and Bill Shankly. The former light-heavyweight champion of the world was

back on his old stomping ground to donate treasured artefacts from his career to the newMuseum of Liverpool. The objects will be displayed in the Creative City gallery of the

museum, which is due to open in the spring of 2011.

“I always knew how much I could give”

Over 6,000 items are currently in storage for the newMuseum of Liverpool, many of which have never been ondisplay before. The Boxing Clever exhibition will displayJohn Conteh’s WBC title belt, and the boxing gloves and

boots he wore during the successful challenge of the titlein October 1974. Also featured will be the red gown Johnwore for his title defence in 1977 and the Lonsdale Trophy

awarded to him following the win.

SECOND SKINI need to replace the flooring in my bedroom. I want something

that looks smart with a traditional feel but that’s also a littleunusual, and is really easy to maintain. I’m a single guy living inmy own apartment. Do you have any ideas?

Leather flooring can look sensational, and would seem to suit yourcriteria as it’s original, adventurous and bold. If you haven’tconsidered it I would suggest that you do. Companies such as Torlysmake the flooring from 100 per cent recycled leather and it comeswith a twenty five year residential warranty. The flooring is availablein planks and tiles, and comes in matte or gloss finishes. You couldalso try www.ytc-tiles.com. All of the tiles, which have very distinctivenatural leather grains, are really easy to fit anywhere in the home.

COME-TO-BED EYESCould you please help me find a ceiling light for my

bedroom for under fifty pounds? All the lights I havelooked at and liked have a very expensive price tag! I’mlooking for a fitting that is really contemporary and has adesigner look.

B&Q have a great light in their new spring collection,which I think you will admire and would be perfect foryour room. The Clusta 7 ceiling light is a modernappliance which would create a perfect focal point in yourbedroom. The light is made up of seven metal whiteeyeball shades, which fit into one main fixing. It’s not onlya fantastic product, it also comes with an affordable pricetag of just £49.98, so you won’t need to break the bank!

SITTING PRETTYWhen I look through photographs in interior magazines, I

really like the way people, or should I say designers, seem to addcertain pieces of furniture into a room and change the whole look.I have been thinking how to lift the look in my lounge. I havetwo, two-seater modern fabric sofas, which are pretty ordinary.How would you go about adding something to achieve this twiston a busy family home?

I would look at adding additional seating, such as a statement piece.I have had a look around the high street shops for you, and Marks &Spencer have a stunning chair in their Autograph range. ThePemberley chair is available in forty different colours, but to achievethat twist you are looking for, I would recommend the chair in plainwhite leather. It will give you a traditional look with a very modernfeel. The leather is stain resistant, so it’s perfect for a busy familyhome. Also, if you order it with home delivery, you will win ecopoints, and the delivery team will unpack the item of furniture foryou, assemble it and position it anywhere in your home.

“Since weopened, thenumberof UKbranches hasmore thandoubled”


//// LUCY OLIVER INTERVIEWS LEANNE GAUNT AT THE ALMOND

Table Talk

When The Almond in WestDerby opened last year, therewas great excitement as theowner, Kate Ravenscroftbrought her experience frontof house at the Hilton to thevillage. Over lunch withLeanne Gaunt, the branchmanager at Northwood estateagents in West Derby village,who’s visited the restauranton a number of occasionswith work colleagues, weagree that the stylish menuadds glamour to the villageand the busy community.

Having worked atNorthwood for over four years,Leanne is well-acquainted withthe area and with theLiverpool property scene –although she herself continuesto commute from Bury, whereshe lives with her fiancé. Theestate agent franchise, openedby Peter Bellamy at thebeginning of 2006, managesproperties to let and for saleacross the whole of the city,with a total number of estatescurrently at around 250. ForLeanne, the move towards acareer in property wasprecipitated by the desire to trysomething new and, knowingPeter from her previous role,the opportunity came up at

Northwood. Says Leanne, “Itwas challenging but thetraining and support fromhead office is excellent and Ifound that I learnt a lot reallyquickly. I enjoy the customer-facing side to the role, meetingnew people, and theopportunity to progress withinthe firm has been enjoyable. ”

Over spicy parsnip soup forLeanne, served with freshlybaked bread, and sage andonion stuffed chicken andhandcut fries for me, wediscuss the firm’s success ingrowing last year, and the risein lettings, as well as growthwithin the company as awhole: “We’ve just recruitedtwo new staff to do viewingsat our branch, and thecompany across the UK is alsodoing well. Since we opened,the number of UK brancheshas more than doubled to 71 –and there’s a new branchopening in Wirral which isalso going to be great.”

Training and personaldevelopment is valued atNorthwood, and Leanne iscurrently taking a BTECProfessional Diploma inResidential Lettings andManagement, Level Four –alongside organising her April

wedding to fiancé Alan. Thecompany’s newly redesignedwebsite,www.northwooduk.com, hasalso received a positiveresponse. Leanne comments,“Lettings are very popular atthe moment and we’re alwayslooking for three bedroomunfurnished properties to let tofamilies. We’ve seen somelovely properties come ontothe sales market sinceChristmas, and it’s been a busyfew weeks with valuations. Ifvendors set a realistic pricethen they certainly won’t bedisappointed.”

Desserts at The Almondchange regularly, withcheesecake, fudgecake, cookiesand apple crumble all popular.Over cappuccino, Leanneinforms me that the branch isalso becoming a one stop shopfor property. A mortgageadvisor, who visits the officeevery Monday or throughoutthe week by appointment, is onhand to give advice and thefirm also has contacts withsolicitors and contractors toassist their clients. Of course,the firm is perhaps best knownfor its Plantinum GuaranteedRental Scheme – which,effectively, sees Northwood act

as the tenant to guaranteerental income to theirlandlords if no tenant isforthcoming for up to a year.“Over 200 properties wemanage are on this scheme,”says Leanne, “as it enables thelandlords to keep paying themortgage and makes sure theydon’t lose out, from day 26 ofhanding over the keys to us.”With that, a smiling Leanneheads back to the nearby officeto help her clients, and it’sclear that this local franchise ofa respected UK brand is set foranother successful year.

Chef’s special: Sandwichesserved with home cut fries are aspeciality here, with fresh fillingsand freshly baked bread.
