SERVICE CHARGEFrom safety of the building tolandscaping of gardens, servicecharge is an all-encompassingexpense for every owner of aflat in a building, paid to acompany who manages thebuilding.

It is normal practice fordevelopers today to set up ablock management company forthe building and employ amanaging agent uponcompletion of a new-build. Theblock management companydeals with the utilities such asthe electricity in the communalarea, lifts, landscaping,cleaning, insurance, andmaintenance for the exterior ofthe building.

The managing agent collectsthe service charge and dealswith day to day issues. Theyalso assess the level of serviceneeded for the building, such as

whether to have a concierge,and do a proposed budgetreport which is used tocalculate the level of servicecharge.

Each leaseholder of anapartment is effectively ashareholder (with one vote) inthe company who can vote onhow the budget is spent, whatthe service charge should beand choose the managing agent.

So why appoint a managingagent at all? Running abuilding is as complex asrunning a business. As LouisAnastasiou, managing director

of Andrew Louis, explains, therole of a managing agent isessential to running a buildingwell and preventing ownerslosing value on their home dueto a badly maintained exterior.

“We manage in excess of 60buildings in Liverpool,Manchester and Hull,” hecommented. “As a managingagent we get discounts on bulkpurchases and certain contractslike lifts, cleaning, building andmaintenance and we pass thosediscounts on. We present aquarterly management reportand we say how much we have

spent on your block andcompare it to the budget.Accountability is veryimportant.”

As part of its transparencypolicy, each developmentmanaged by Andrew Louis hasa website. Each websiteincludes budgets, a buildinginsurance certificate,newsletters, a payment section,financial accounts andreporting repairs.

RIGHT TO MANAGEWhat happens though when abuilding has no blockmanagement company? Thebuilding still has a managingagent but they are only legallyaccountable to the freeholder,leaving the leaseholders withvery little say on maintenanceand service charge cost.

Right to Manage is theprocess where leaseholders take

The road to buying your own home usually ends with popping the champagne cork.Once the ink dries on your lease, what can a leaseholder do to protect themselvesfrom unscrupulous landlords? Bad management can devalue a property between 10and 50 per cent. From knowing where your service charge is going, the implicationsof not paying the service charge, to your rights if faced with an incompetent landlord,Your Move examines the ins and outs of building management.

LOUIS ANASTASIOU, MANAGINGDIRECTOR OF ANDREW LOUIS“A managing agent is essential torunning a building well and preventingowners losing value on their home dueto a badly maintained exterior.”

over the management of theirresidential building. There isstill a large number ofapartment blocks in Liverpoolwhere the developer is thefreeholder. They appoint themanaging agent but no blockmanagement company. Thenumber of disputes across thecountry over service charges isrising fast, but challenging aproperty management companyor freeholder through a tribunalcan be a lengthy, demanding andexhausting process.

The road to Right to Manageis legally a relativelystraightforward procedure andyou don’t have to prove theexisting managing agent is atfault. All you need is at least 50per cent of leaseholders onboard, and the building self-contained with at least 75 percent of it residential.

Ian Magenis, partner atScanlans Property Management,explains: “This legislation existsto give leaseholders theopportunity to take control ofthe running of theirdevelopment. It’s surprisinghow few apartment owners areaware of the Right to Managelegislation and how they can

take advantage of it. “At Scanlans Property

Management we are gettingmore and more calls for help insetting up Right to Manageschemes. In many cases, the cost ofsuch an action can be recoveredwithin the first year of theleaseholders taking control via thesavings they can achieve.”

There are many examples where

charges are excessive, includinginflated insurance premiums andpayments towards the flatprovided for the live-in managerappointed by the freeholder.

“In some cases, residents look

to the Right to Manage schemeto ensure there is completetransparency over servicecharge administration,” headded. “Leaseholders want theassurance that they themselvescontrol how their developmentis run, rather than this beingcontrolled by a third party.”

Scanlans PropertyManagement are managing

agents who are also offeringflat-owners without a blockmanagement company freeadvice on how to begin theprocess of Right to Manage.

SERVICE CHARGEDODGEROne service charge dodger andeveryone suffers. Non-paymentof service charge is in breachof a lease and can lead to legalaction and eventuallyrepossession. Louis Anastasiou explainedthe problems when one personthinks they can get awaywithout the charge. “If toomany people don’t pay then wedon’t have the funds to carryon providing the service for theblock and that is a major issue.Sometimes you have to cut thelevel of service. If there’s nomoney in the account thenunfortunately services willsuffer so it’s important thatpeople not only pay but pay on

time. On some blocks you canget as high as 25 per cent ofleaseholders not paying theservice charge.”On behalf of the managingcompany, a managing agentwould send out the overdueletters, with enough time forowners to pay or negotiate apayment plan. However if theowner still dodges paymentcourt action is taken whichleads to a CCJ and may endwith repossession.Before purchasing anapartment, it is vital toresearch the building’smanaging agent to make surevalue will be retained throughregular maintenance. Ifalready living in an apartmentand looking for a newmanaging agent, expertsrecommend holding a ‘beautyparade’ of at least threedifferent managing agentsbefore selecting one.

As with many decisions you really do need to takeindependent financial and tax advice. If you wouldlike our help call Julia Casimo on 0151 228 8977 atJohn Kerr Chartered Accountants 369-375 EatonRoad, West Derby, Liverpool L12 2AH. Authorisedand regulated by The Financial Services Authority

Please note that this article is not intended to give specific technical or financial advice and it should not beconstrued as doing so. It is designed only to alert readers to some of the issues. It is not intended to give

exhaustive coverage of any topic. Professional advice should always be sought before action is either taken orrefrained from as a result of information contained herein.

Plumbers – are yourtax affairs in need of a service?

Advice fromchartered accountants0151 228 8977

Registered number 101330

Following on from previous amnesty arrangements fordentists, medics and holders of offshore bank accounts, thetaxman is now encouraging plumbers and those in associatedtrades to come clean.

Under the PTSP (Plumbers Tax Safe Plan) plumbers (andother taxpayers) are given the opportunity to fix any leaks intheir tax affairs, by making what is called a voluntarydisclosure to HMRC. In return they will be offered lowerpenalties of 10-20% on any unpaid tax, compared with upto 100% normally. The scheme despite its name is alsoavailable as a general tax amnesty.

HMRC are following up this incentive with a threat to trackdown errant plumbers using information they haveobtained from Gas Safe (formerly CORGI).

The areas which the taxman will be focusing on arelikely to be:

‘Cash’ JobsPlumbers have been singled out because they do a lot ofcash work, and the taxman believes that tradesmen inreceipt of cash may not have declared all of their income.They will also be on the look out for businesses andindividuals which have breached the VAT registration limits,but not registered for VAT.

Over claimed ExpensesMany plumbers are self-employed and so have the potentialto incorrectly claim expenses for working from home, forhome to work travel and for subsistence.

Training costsTraining to become a plumber is costly, and some plumbersmay have been tempted to incorrectly claim the cost of thetraining and course fees to obtain their registration.

If anyone has not yet told HMRC that they have startedworking for themselves then the PTSP offers an opportunityto make a fresh start.

Anyone thinking of entering the PTSP scheme will haveuntil 31 May to notify HMRC of their intentions so theymust act quickly.

� Liverpool is set to get anew Enterprise Zone, aimedat boosting business indeprived areas. Thegovernment announced‘Mersey Waters’ had beenchosen as the EnterpriseZone. The area straddles theRiver Mersey, and coversboth sites of the 30-yearregeneration projects - WirralWaters and Liverpool Waters.

Companies will benefit fromsignificant tax breaks if theyrelocate or set up new operationshere with benefits including taxbreaks, up to 100 per centdiscounts on rates, fast-trackplanning procedures and super-fast broadband.

Rod Holmes, Chairman of

The Mersey Partnership (TMP),commented: “It is now generallyrecognised, in the Liverpool CityRegion and beyond that theMersey and Liverpool Port aregrossly underutilised UK assets,with the potential to help resolvenational infrastructure issuesand also to contribute to theongoing revival of the CityRegion economy.”

Wirral Waters is centred onthe left bank of the river at theBirkenhead Docks andLiverpool Waters is focusedtowards the north of Liverpoolcity centre into the derelict dockareas adjacent to Princes Dock.They are being developed byThe Peel Group.

Lindsey Ashworth, from Peel,said: “The Peel Waters projects

are opportunities for theLiverpool Region to competebetter with the likes of Londonand the South East as well ascities overseas. Enterprise Zonestatus will genuinely help us todo that.”

Stuart Keppie, Chairman ofProfessional Liverpool,commented: “The EnterpriseZone is to be applaudedprovided it is capable ofdelivering the package ofincentives to support existingbusinesses encouraging thosewith growth potential to stay inthe area as well as attractinginward investment. Time willtell whether Wirral Waters is themost appropriate location. Itshould be wherever existing andnew businesses can thrive.”

� One of Merseyside’sfavourite attractions,Knowsley Safari Park, is tocommemorate its 40thanniversary later this year -and asking people to join inthe celebrations.

The safari park is planning anexhibition, which will look back atits four decades of caring for exoticanimals from all over the globe.Knowsley bosses want contributionsfrom visitors to be a key part of thesummer show. Situated on thefamous estate of Lord Derby, the vastreserve, which opened in July 1971,is home to many different animalsincluding elephants, giraffes, lions,bongos, tigers and baboons.

General Manager, David Ross,explained: “As well as covering themajor milestones in our history, wewant the exhibition to reflect theimpact the park has had on somepeople’s lives. This could be becausesomeone has visited us hundreds oftimes over the years, or because abride was proposed to in front of thebaboons in our monkey jungle.

“We want visitors to get in touch

with their stories, photographs andexamples of old park memorabilia toprovide a human angle to theexhibition.”

Knowsley was the first safaripark in the country to be createdclose to a large city - just eightmiles from Liverpool City Centre.It aimed to replicate theexperience of visiting the drive-through game reserves of EastAfrica, with humans caged in theirvehicles and animals running wild.

Today, its 550 acres of parklandare home to more than 700 animalsliving in near-natural conditions,including many endangered specieslike the white rhino and PereDavid’s Deer.

Items for possible inclusion in theexhibition should be sent to SafariMemories, Knowsley Safari Park,Prescot, Merseyside L34 4AN oremailed [email protected].

However, Knowsley officialsstress that with a treasured or one-off item visitors should only send acopy or a description in the firstinstance, so secure delivery of theoriginal can be arranged.

Elaine Taylor, Lovell North WestRegional Sales Manager,commented: “In the currentclimate this scheme is a lifeline forsome people as it means you havesmaller mortgage repayments.

“My career began inrecruitment working for acompany called LinkRecruitment Services - acompletely all-female company.I was very much inspired by theMD, Penny Harper. She washeavily involved in stafftraining and taught me it's notall just about "getting thebusiness", but about nurturingyour client base and makingpeople want to do business withyou again and again. It’ssomething that’s stayed with mefrom starting up to running myown company today.”

“I couldn't possibly pinall the inspiration I’vefelt on just one woman.People inspire me everyday. I've always been afan of Janet Street Porter,not so much for herfeminism, but forcreating a successfulcareer simply for being sointelligently blunt-talking. There’s also mylate Nana, such a brave,classy, straight-talkinglady, I was privileged tobe her granddaughter.”

It took us awhile to find a housebecause it was quitehard to buy a housearound here with thesize we wanted for afamily of five.

What do you remember about growingup in Liverpool? I grew up in a tenementin Parliament Street, with my nan andgranddad, mum, dad and four brothers. Wewere poor, but if everyone else is the same,you don’t know you’re poor, do you? Atschool the teachers said I was thick. When Iwent in that was. A lot of times I stayed athome looking after my mum, who was badwith her nerves, but lovely with it, and mylittle brothers. There were things thathappened that weren’t nice, but there werelots of good times too. When you’re playingout as a kid, everything else goes out of yourhead. Walking up Parliament Street was areal experience in those days – all thedifferent smells. It felt alive.

How did the book come about? Nobodyknew I’d written one. I learned to read andwrite at adult education classes when I was25 or 26, and we wrote about our lives toimprove our writing. I would write thenshove it in the draw. I filled two drawersthen four. I wrote to make sense of my life.There was no beginning, middle or end. I

wrote lots and lots of poems too. There wasa time I washed a pound note in myhusband’s trousers, and ironed it to make itstraight again. That’s the last time I’ll launder money, I wrote.

How did you become a stand up comic?I have a lot of nervous energy. I would saysomething and people would say, you shouldbe on stage. I’d say, ‘me? I’m about as funnyas piles.’ I entered a few competitions andwon them but although I’d been in somefilms and TV, I never did anything like thatother than for charity nights.

About seven years ago I had just had someoperations for cancer and afterwards I justdecided to start life again. So I went toSpain and started being a comedian.

How did Benidorm come about? I wasworking every night at hotel El Presidenteand Captain Morgan’s Tavern in Benidorm.One night two men and a woman came inand said they were writing a TV series andwere looking for someone to play the personwho runs the hotel. One of the men wasDarren Litten, the series’ writer. Morgan’sTavern is actually Neptune’s Bar in theshow and for the first few episodes I wouldfilm at Morgan’s during the day and be backthere at 6.30pm to do my own show.

What do you think of your character,Janey York? I love her. With Janey, what

you see is what you get. I can imagine herwhen she was young, going round thinkinglife was going to change, but she’s still stuckthere. I’m nothing like her. I’m happier!

Are sun, sand and free cocktails youridea of relaxing? No, I don’t drink! I loveNew York and Prague because I lovebuildings and history. I don’t like sun orsand, probably because I had it for sevenyears. I couldn’t wait to get indoorseveryday after filming. I was like MissHaversham, skin as white as a sheet.

Everyone slates Benidorm, but it’sbrilliant. It’s like Blackpool in the sun oreven Vegas. It’s like being back in the olddays when there were social clubs.

Where do you go out when you cometo Liverpool? I hardly go out. But I go toMecca Bingo on East Prescot Road oneSunday every month with my friendMargie. The bingo caller, Steve, is an oldfriend of mine and we do a lot of charitywork together, like raising money forcancer. I see people there I grew up with.I’m not Crissy Rock to them. They say,‘have you had any luck,’ and I say ‘no’.

� Crissy will be signing copies of herautobiography, This Heart Within MeBurns: From Bedlam to Benidorm (JohnBlake, £14.99), at Waterstones on BoldStreet on April 2, 2-4pm.

As Janey York, the hotel manager in ITV’s hit sitcom,Benidorm, actress Crissy Rock’s ready smile and razor

sharp retorts has won her a legion of fans. Born and bredin Toxteth she tells Your Move about how she got her big

break in the Costa Del Sol sun.

We are currently renovating a house;everything from the skirting boards, floorboards and ceilings has been stripped bare.We have now completed all of the majorbuilding tasks and are now looking atputting the interiors back together so thespace starts to resemble a home of some sort.Our first task is to look at deciding what kindof architectural features we want. We wouldlike to use very contemporary/unusualfeatures, to give the rooms a unique character.When we have tried to find contemporaryplaster mouldings or skirting boards mostcompanies just show us plain or smoothmouldings. Are there any companies that sellmore unusual contemporary mouldings?

INTERIOR DESIGN

With over ten years’ experience in the interior designbusiness, Sharon Armor is poised to answer all your designqueries from DIY disasters to decorating dilemmas.

Solomon & Wu bring the best elements ofcontemporary design to traditional mouldings.The company is always thinking about newmouldings and creating new models. Thedevelopment of traditional mouldings hasn’tseen such a transformation in the last hundredyears, so this company is certainly one worthshouting about. A new generation of mouldinghas been launched into a tired marketbringing with it a new way, more forwardthinking, cutting edge interior spaces. Theirmouldings are not for the faint hearted. Theirdesigns are minimal and geometric, I think theLinear Structure Cornice is fantastic, but ifyou a looking for something extra special theCaumont Rose skirting board would definitelybring unique character to any space.

GEOMETRICMOULDING

I have recently moved into anew home and there is lots ofwork that needs doing. After theexpense of moving and savingfor my deposit I now have avery limited budget, and most ofthe work I will have to dogradually. In the meantime Ihave decided to smarten up therooms with a lick of paint hereand there. The kitchen iscausing me problems, the unitsand tiles are modern andpractical but they look soboring! A friend has suggestedthat I could paint the tiles; doyou have any other suggestions?

TILE TATTOOS

Over the Easter break I am planning on painting the spare room. Ihave just finished decorating my room and I am planning on using

the accessories that once were in my room in the spare room. I wantthe spare room to look different though! This is where I need yourhelp. In the past I have always had a problem choosing paintcolours, I get so frustrated and lack so much confidence that Iresort to picking an off white or cream. I am determined not tomake the same mistake. The accessories I would like to use in the

room are traditional. I have an oriental rug which is very faded,but I love the colours in this which I would class as, soft purple,

pink, grey and terracotta. Could you help me by suggesting a paintcolour I could use?

I really like the Sanderson paint collection. If like many people you lack theconfidence to pick a paint colour, one of the companies unique points is that the trial potsare always the same colour as the tins of paint, which allows you to experiment on yourwalls in the room first without making a huge financial investment. When it comes to whatcolour to choose, I would suggest the Plum Tint, this colour has a nostalgic feel and is veryinviting, perfect for your spare room and the enjoyment of your guests.

Painting novice Linear Structure Cornice

Tile Tattoos? The lighting and homeware supplier Mibo sells them, and at £12.50 for a packof ten they are unlikely to break the bank. They could instantly transform your kitchen in amatter of minutes. They are really easy to apply, you can create your own patterns and thegreat thing about them, is when you tire of the design you can easily peel them off. TheShanklin blue design would bring splash of colour to your kitchen as well as a retro vibe thathas to be better than boring!

he Everyman Bistro isto close its doors for thelast time anddemolished in July,

owing to the refurbishmentabout to be undertaken at thetheatre upstairs. It seemedfitting to meet with theatreexpert and marketing guru, BillElms, at the bar that has beenthere from his first outings whenhe started working at theLiverpool Empire to today withhis company offices next door.

Bill Elms Associates is one ofthe foremost marketing and PRcompanies for liveentertainment and ticketedevents in Liverpool; however, hisroots are humble starting as anusher at the Liverpool EmpireTheatre when he was 18. Heworked his way up theranks, managing thebox office then leavingfor Manchester towork at the PalaceTheatre and OperaHouse. Eventuallythe Liverpool Empiretempted him back toLiverpool, where he setup the marketingdepartment for the theatre. Aftera decade of working at thetheatre he went solo, setting uphis own business, Bill ElmsAssociates.

Over a freshly-made lunch, hecommented: “I don’t think Icould have set my company up

before 2008, and be takenseriously but because culturewas very much in people’sminds after 08 it seemed theperfect time - I would say Istarted my company as a resultof the Capital of Culture.”

The business has grown fromstrength to strength over thepast few years, establishing itselffirmly as an arts marketing andPR service. With the success ofhis most recent projectTutankhamun: His Tomb andHis Treasures exhibition at theMuseum of Museums inManchester (over 150,000 peoplevisited), Bill has successfullyexpanded into the regionalmarket. “The company ischanging slightly with the type

of clients we’re getting,because we’ve made a

really nice transitioninto festivals andexhibitions whichworks really well.”

Over mydelicious Aberdeen

Angus beefmeatball ragout and

Greek feta salad, andBill’s all day breakfast

frittata and tomato salad, wenote the constant good food ofthe Bistro and lament itsdeparture. “I’m here all thetime,” Bill comments, digginginto the frittata with gusto. “Ilove the food, there’s nowherelike it in Liverpool. When I

started coming here, it wasincredibly arty. This was theplace to be seen, i-D magazineused to come down andphotograph people it was soexciting coming here. The food is always fantastic and it’sa great crowd that come inhere.”

Although there willnot be an EverymanBistro as we knowit after July, thenext year for Billpromises to be avery busy one.Physical Fest,Liverpool Pride,Brazilica, the relaunch ofJudy and Liza, Polar, St HelensTheatre Royal and so muchmore.

“Liverpool has always been onthe map in the UK as a festivalcity. The international physicaltheatre festival, Physical Fest, isgoing to be a great addition tothe Liverpool festival scene.Liverpool Pride is going to bebigger and better than last year’sand we’re going to attract a lotmore people and make sure it’son the gay calendar.

“I’m really excited about thebrand new festival Brazilica inJuly, which is an internationalsamba carnival. It was theLiverpool samba parade, whichdidn’t end up anywhere, anincredible amount of work wentinto these costumes and floats

and it was phenomenal so afestival seemed appropriate.”

Bill Elms Associates has alsotaken on the marketing and PRcontract for St Helens TheatreRoyal. With the expansion intoregional PR and marketing,what is the future for Bill and

his company? “I don’twant to move out of the

arts, I think thereason we’resuccessful is becausewe specialise. Whena big event is coming

to the city I want tobe the first person they

choose to work on aproject. At the moment the

majority of larger tours, forexample Les Miserables, themarketing all tends to be doneby London companies which arenot always the best for theregions. I would like to see mybusiness in the next few yearstaking on the big tours as well asdoing the big regional events.”

Tucking into the last of thehome baked celery seed breadwe finish up our delightfulspread promising to catch up atthe numerous festivals this year.
