TAYLOR Wimpey isthe latest developerset to help first timebuyers get on theproperty ladder byoffering theGovernment’snewly-launchedFirstBuy scheme on arange of homes acrossMerseyside.

FirstBuy, which wasunveiled in theChancellor’s Budgetearlier this year,supports first timebuyers who could nototherwise afford tobuy because of thelarge deposits nowrequired by mortgagelenders.

FirstBuy worksthrough a joint loan of20% from the Homesand CommunitiesAgency (HCA) andTaylor Wimpey, whichmeans that eligiblepurchasers only needput down a 5% depositand obtain a 75%loan-to-valuemortgage. The loan isrepayable at the endof the 25 yearmortgage term orwhen the property issold. To be eligible,purchasers must befirst time buyers andthe total householdearning should be lessthan £60,000.

It’s sometimespossible to solve theproblem by pushingtalcum powder or chalkbetween the boards, sotry this first.● If this doesn’t work,walk over thefloorboards to find outwhere the movement is.Providing the offendingboard’s in goodcondition, you canremove the loose nailsand then screw theboard back down(using the same holes),which will make itmore secure. Make sureyou countersink thescrew heads.● If the floorboardisn’t in good condition,this may not bepossible, so work outwhere the joist is – thisshould be obvious from

● FORGET going to the effortof sawing by hand, there’s a

The HPL10RSK saw has arubberised top and handle, so youcan hold it comfortably with onehand or two, and the handle pivots,which makes it easy to adapt todifferent jobs and positions.

It has a clamp to reducevibrations and help you sawone-handed by resting against thecutting surface, two blades – onefor wood and one for metal, asensitive trigger to give you morecontrol, an on-off catch for safety,and a work light, so you can seewhat you’re doing in cupboards andother dark places.

has beaten stiff competition tobe crowned National Shed ofthe Year. The shed’s owner, JonEarl, of Clevedon in NorthSomerset, gets £1,000 and arange of woodcare productsfrom competition sponsorCuprinol.

“I inherited my shed and itscontents from the previousowners of my house and hadbeen using it for storage, untilI had the idea of turning it intoa music venue in 2009 after avisit to the local pub,” he says.

“I set up my Songs FromThe Shed website, which is

where I upload videos of bandsplaying acoustic sessions in theshed. More than 1,000musicians have had their songsvideoed there so far.

“The shed’s got a bit of awoodworm problem, so the£1,000 prize and Cuprinolproducts will come in veryhandy.”

More than 1,570 sheds wereentered into the competitionand more than 11,000 peoplevoted. Take a look at some ofthis year’s entries atwww.readersheds.co.uk

Q My bath has badlyapplied silicone sealantand I’m struggling to getit off. Any suggestions?A: Try Polycell SealantRemover, £9.59, whichworks well. Start bycarefully cutting alongthe bottom of thesealant and then applythe sealant remover allover. Leave it for at least15 minutes.

Again,countersink the screws.● If the end of thefloorboard isn’t restingon a joist, give it thesupport it needs bylifting up the board andscrewing a 25mm x50mm batten of wood tothe side of the joist. Laythe board on top of thebatten and screw backin place.● Never screw or nailinto a floorboard unlessyou know what’sunderneath, as thiscould be dangerous.Use a battery-operatedcable and pipe detectorfirst, although thesedetectors can beinaccurate if, forexample, they pick upthe nails in the boards.A more foolproofmethod is to lift up theboard and if you findany cables or pipesunderneath, markthem on the surface soyou can avoid them.

HOTGUIDE ... tooutside

Thingstodothisweek

Thegarden’s future is

THE soft pink peonies, deepblue delphiniums andpurple cranesbillgeraniums may have fadedfrom my borders - but there

are some sizzling oranges and redsin their place, bursting into bloomand hailing the fact that summerisn’t over.

Spikes of vibrant red Crocosmia‘Lucifer’ rub shoulders withdazzling Helenium ‘MoerheimBeauty’, whose rich orangedaisy-like flowers provide awonderful clash of colours,intermingling withchocolate-leaved heucheras andbacked by the intense, deep purpleflowers of Buddleia davidii ‘BlackKnight’.

It’s at this time of year yourealise that late summer bloomscan almost be more eye-catchingand long-lasting than those whichbloom earlier in the season and ifyou haven’t given a thought to howyour borders are going to look inAugust and beyond, maybe it’s timeto turn over a new leaf.

Thanks to the unusually warmspring, much bedding has beenblooming its heart out since Aprilor May and has just about run outof steam, so if your tired-lookingpetunias have gone soggy anddrooped in the recent rains orother blooms are past their best,bite the bullet and replace themwith some sizzling patio stalwartswhich can be replanted later in theborder.

Dahlias have made a comebackin recent years and there are somestunning varieties which willmerge into a hot scheme. Considerthe vermilion-red semi-doubleblooms of D. ‘Bishop of Llandaff ’alongside the deep yellow D.‘Bishop of York’, wonderfully offsetby dark foliage in the border. Typeslike the single ‘Mount Noddy’, withits velvety red flowers, are bestplanted en masse.

In exotic schemes I love red hotpokers (Kniphofia) which providecolour and structure with theirtall, striking stems and red andyellow rocket-shaped flowers. Agood option is ‘Ice Queen’ if youfancy the calmer hue of creamyyellow flowers but want a plantwhich grows to around 1.2m (4ft)tall. For smaller, daintier varietieswhich could be placed nearer thefront of the border, ‘Toffee Nosed’or ‘Little Maid’ are better choices.

Tubs and troughs of vivid,vibrant nasturtiums can alsoprovide late summer interest, in

shades of reds, oranges andyellows, while black-eyed Susan, orthunbergia, will twine itself uptrellis or tumble over hangingbaskets in a sunny, sheltered spotuntil October.

Other stunning additions to theborder which do well in lightlyshaded areas are hemerocallis (daylily), astilbe and astrantia.

If you’re not into brash and bold,you can opt for the softer hues ofsummer phlox in a variety ofcolours, from white to deep pink,some of which have variegatedleaves.

The globe thistle (Echinops

bannaticus) produces eye-catchingsoft blue spiny globes on top ofsilvery stems, which grow toaround 1.2m (4ft) high, while Asterx frikartii ‘Monch’ bearslavender-blue flowers on thickstems through to October.

Most of these plants don’t needstaking or dividing often. As wellas producing late colour, they alsoprovide leaf interest throughoutthe year.

For immediate impact, plantthem closely in groups. Salviasincluding S. uliginosa (blue) and S.fulgens (red) do well planted ingroups, as do Chinese aster, coleus,

zinnia, penstemon and rudbeckia.Other good bets include the

purple coneflower Echinaceapurpurea, which has pretty basalfoliage and bears big, purple-pinkdaisy-like flowers. Its petalssurround a large central cone andit grows up to 1m (3ft) or morewhen fed. Good varieties include‘Robert Bloom’ or ‘Magnus’.

To complement the coneflowersin your border, try plantingPhygelius Aequalis ‘YellowTrumpet’ in front of them. Theseplants, originally from SouthAfrica, have a constant run offlower stems which hold tubular

creamy yellow flowers and reacharound 90cm (3ft) in height. Theywill need winter protection incold areas.

Of course, no late summerborder would be complete withoutthe sedum, or ice plant, so calledbecause if you touch the succulentleaves on a warm day they will becold. A good bet is S. ‘AutumnJoy’, which provides flat heads offlowers in shades ranging fromsalmon pink to deep red fromAugust to November.

Plant wisely and your sizzlingsummer may last much longerthan you think.

● As the display in most rock gardens is pastits peak, plant fill-in bedding to add colour tothe scene. Trailing plants can look particularlyeffective.

● Lift bulbs of Dutch and Spanish irises andstore them in a warm, dry place to ripen untilSeptember.

● Mow the lawn once or twice a week andraise the cutting height slightly in prolongeddry weather.

● Order new lily bulbs.

● Feed pelargoniums grown in tubs,window boxes and hanging baskets regularlywith a liquid tomato feed.

● Keep the base of hedges weed-free,feeding with a general purpose liquid fertiliserif the hedge looks undernourished.

● Continue to cut sweet peas to promotefurther flowering.

● Plant out potted-up softwood cuttings ofshrubs taken in May in their final plantingposition.

● Thin out water plants with secateurs orshears and remove excess growth fromsubmerged oxygenating plants with a rake, ifnecessary.

● Fill in the space of harvested earlysummer crops such as broad beans andshallots with follow-on crops such as endivesor cabbages.

● Harvest the first self-blanching celery.

● Harvest and continue sowings of turnipsuntil the end of the month.

Their height, up to around 1.5m(5ft) makes them effective at theback of the border, but they’re alsogreat for cutting, so you can have abetter look at that impressiveflower.

Echinacea, which flower betweenJuly and September, do best in thesun in moist but well-drained fertilesoils, although some varieties willdo well in drier areas.

They attract bees and butterfliesand are at home alongside monardaand globe thistle, while somevarieties can be combined well withfuchsias and blue salvias. Whitevarieties such as White Swan, makegood planting companions againsttall, slender blue plants.

First-time help

North West leadinghousebuilder DavidWilson Homes hassecured nationalfunding to help first

time buyers in Liverpool who wantto take their first step on thehousing ladder.

David Wilson Homes North Westhas announced hundreds of localhouseholders who have previouslybeen priced out of home ownershipwill be able to take advantage of thecentral government money to buy aproperty of their own.

The funds are part of a newscheme called FirstBuy, which theChancellor announced in theBudget in March. It is designed togive first time buyers a route tohome ownership at the lowestpossible cost and with the lowestpossible deposit.

“Hundreds of first time buyersnow have the chance to move into anew home with a deposit of as littleas £4,200,” said Steve Jackson, salesdirector at David Wilson HomesNorth West. “A lot of people inLiverpool will be eligible to takeadvantage of FirstBuy – anyhousehold with a combined incomeof up to £60,000 qualifies – so Iwould urge anyone interested tocontact us as soon as possible.”

Under FirstBuy, buyers will beoffered a loan of up to 20% of the

price of the property, jointly fundedby David Wilson North West and theGovernment’s Homes andCommunities Agency (HCA). Thebuyers have to find the remaining80% of the price themselves. Up to75% of this could be a mortgage,leaving a deposit of just 5%.

In practice, this means anyonebuying a two bedroom house from

David Wilson North West priced at£104,995 under the scheme wouldpotentially be able to get on thehousing ladder with a deposit of aslittle as £4,200.

Richard Hill, deputy chiefexecutive at the HCA, said: “Thanksto FirstBuy more than 10,000 firsttime buyers will be able to realisethe dream of owning their home,

while house builders will benefitfrom an additional source of sales,giving a much-needed boost to thedevelopment industry.”

David Wilson Homes NorthWest’s developments in Liverpoolinclude St John’s Place, comprisingtwo and three bedroom homes.● Call 0844 5566155 or visitwww.dwh.co.uk for more details.

“We’ll match your deposit!”say affordable home specialists

Match and Move example:

You want to purchase a Lovell home costing £105,000

You’ll only need a minimum 5% deposit £5,250

We’ll match your deposit with an interest free loan £5,250

This will give you a total deposit £10,500

The result is a lower mortgage £94,500

This weekend Lovell are offeringa step on to the property ladderfor buyers in Liverpool by hostinga dedicated First Time BuyerWeekend at Kensington Court.Aware of the growing numbersof buyers struggling with theirdeposit, Lovell are launching anew scheme called ‘Match andMove’ specially designed to helpfirst time buyers.

Match and Move will help buyersin Liverpool who can’t raise enoughdeposit to get the best mortgagedeal available, or are struggling withother costs associated with buying anew home. “Many customers are stillsaving but have seen the Lovellhome they like and want to movequickly” explains Elaine Taylor,Regional Sales Manager “Somehave already raised the deposit, butwant to hold some money back tobuy home comforts - carpets,curtains and even decorating. Matchand Move is flexible and allows youto concentrate on moving into yourdream home”. The scheme works by

Lovell lending between 5% and 10%of the purchase price of the propertyas an interest free, fixed loan(payable within 10 years) to matchthe customer’s own deposit whichmust be between 5% and 10%.“The scheme is already a successand we’re finding its reducingdeposit issues, mortgage costs andgiving greater access to moreaffordable lending” says Elaine.

Kensington Court sits in the heart ofKensington, an area of Liverpoolwhich is undergoing a massivetransformation. The contemporaryand stylish new homes comecomplete with energy savingfeatures and the regeneration of the

area will also bring with it newshops, community facilities andgreen areas. The development alsohas a prime location close to theCity Centre, with convenient accessto the A57 and M62, bus links andwithin walking distance of Edge Hilltrain station.
