Will Maugham of Goadsby’s Prop-erty Management Department is pleased to announce their ap-pointment as Managing Agents of a brand new residential de-velopment in Southampton for a private individual comprising of 4 townhouses, 2 houses and 2 flats. Will states “this is the first proper-

ty investment for this client, who has no experience in the proper-ty field. As such we have been brought on board to deal with the red tape, such as the annual gas safety reports and registering the deposits with a deposit scheme so he does not have to. We will also be co-ordinating the lettings

as well as advising the client on rental levels and overseeing the fitting out the units ready for oc-cupation”. For any information on property management issues please contact Will Maugham on 01202 550000 or email [email protected]

With its first bedrooms set to open in 2014, Lewis-Manning in Poole has announced three special Recruitment Days in January for people interested in clinical, non-clinical and volunteer roles at the hospice.The charity, who recently re-ceived a glowing report from the independent Care Quality Commission (CQC) which reg-ulates hospitals, care homes and care services, will open its first in-patient bedrooms in May offering respite, rehabili-tation and end of life care to local people with cancer and other life-limiting illnesses.The Recruitment Days will take place on Tuesday 14th January from 8am until noon, Wednesday 15th January from 4pm until 7pm and finally on Tuesday 28th January, with two time slots of 8am un-til noon and 3pm until 6pm. Staff and volunteers will be on hand to discuss in de-tail the various clinical and non-clinical roles available, which will include nurses, health care assistants, cater-ing staff, cleaning staff and retail managers, as well as providing further informa-tion on volunteer roles such as drivers, fundraisers, retail support, caring and hospital-ity. There will also be an op-portunity to take a tour of the hospice, which moved into a

new state-of-the-art facility at Crichel Mount Road in Sand-banks in 2012.Anyone interested in working for them are advised to regis-ter their interest first via the Lewis-Manning website www.lewis-manning.co.uk or by calling 01202 708470 but they are also welcome to just drop-in during the scheduled times on any of the Recruitment Days.Elizabeth Purcell, Chief Exec-utive at Lewis-Manning, ex-plains, “The opening of rooms will also open up opportuni-ties to form a new team. So many health care profession-als have told us they would like to have more time with patients. At Lewis-Manning we are here to give just that: “time to care”.”The hospice currently sup-ports over 650 local people living with cancer and other life-limiting illnesses and cur-rently provides a range of ser-vices run by the Lewis-Man-ning Doctor and a team of specialist palliative care nurses including Day Hos-pice (specialist nursing care, which also includes creative arts, aromatherapy and oth-er holistic treatments), Lym-phoedema Clinic, Breathless-ness Clinic and Physiotherapy Clinic.

LOCAL ARTISTS INVITED TO CONTRIBUTE TO EXHIBITION

HOTEL SALES END 2013 STRONGLY HELP TO BUY DRIVES FURTHER EXPANSIONThe Hotels and Leisure Divi-

sion of Goadsby have reported a strong end to 2013, includ-ing the sales of four regional hotels.

Acting on the instructions of the Salvation Army, Cliff House at Southbourne, which had been totally refurbished in 2003 and stands in grounds of ½ acre, has been purchased by a London based catering events organiser. The superb-ly presented 4 star Castle Lodge at Highcliffe, which stands in the original grounds of Highcliffe Castle, has been acquired by a local hotelier seeking to trade up. The 9 bedroom Lea Hurst Hotel, located close to the Central Business District and Travel Interchange in Bournemouth, has been secured by Reading based purchasers seeking a change of lifestyle by em-barking on this new venture. Also, the 16 bedroom Safari Hotel & Bistro in the heart of Bournemouth’s West Cliff,

having previously featured on the Hotel Inspector television programme, has attracted purchasers relocating from Liverpool to the south.

Divisional Director, Ian Palm-er, commented, “As 2013 drew to a close there was a notice-able increase in activity levels in a market sector which has, to a greater extent, been in the doldrums. However, for the first time in some years there is genuine reason for optimism in that the con-straints that have been placed upon the leisure market will ease a little and, as such, a greater level of sales should ensue. Consequently Goads-by is once again actively seeking new hotel and guest house instructions”.

The hotels were sold off a combined quoting price of £2.5 million and for further similar opportunities please contact Hotel Department on 01202 550000.

Three months on from the start of the Help to Buy mortgage guarantee scheme and more than 6000 people have put in offers on a home and applied for a mortgage. In November, ministers published figures showing that in the first month of the scheme more than 2000 people had put in offers on homes and applied for a Help to Buy mortgage. That number has now trebled.

The mortgages, once approved, would represent nearly £1bil-lion of new lending to aspiring home owners who may have previously found the property market out of reach because of the size of deposit required. Barclays and Santander will introduce their own Help to Buy products onto the market this month, joining Lloyds Banking Group, RBS, HSBC, Virgin Money and Aldermore who have all launched products over the last three months, providing a wide range of options for first time buyers and other potential applicants in 2014.

The expansion will mean two-thirds of the entire UK mort-gage market will offer products under the Help to Buy scheme, bringing home ownership to a growing number of people.

New figures also show that an additional 20,000 households have also been supported by the Help to Buy Equity Loan scheme, a separate scheme where the Government provides an interest-free loan to support the purchase of the newly built home.

The Government said that the large number of applications for Help to Buy mortgages suggested the high Loan-To-Value part of the mortgage market was moving again. High Loan-To-Value mortgages were the main route to ownership for most first time buyers over the last 30 years, but there have been fewer products available in recent years. Prime Minis-ter David Cameron said: “The New Year is often a time when people look to make those big life-changing decisions like moving home or taking that first step on the housing ladder.

“But too many people have found themselves frozen out of the market in recent years as a result of the size of the depos-it required. “That is why as part of our long-term economic plan we introduced the Help to Buy scheme, so hardworking people with sufficient earnings can get on, fulfil their aspi-rations and enjoy the security of owning their own home.

“I want to see that continue in 2014 and for Help to Buy to help thousands more realise their dream of home owner-ship.”

NEW YEAR, NEW CAREER AT LOCAL HOSPICE?

NEW OFFICE FOR NAPIER

Lewis-Manning Hospice is inviting local artists to sub-mit paintings for an Open Exhibition it is hosting at The Gallery Upstairs (for-merly the Peacock Gallery) at Upton Country House from January 18 - 28, open-ing 10.30am - 3pm daily.

The exhibition will have an element of an 'A Breath of Fresh Air' theme, celebrat-ing anything to do with breath, life, air, flow and movement. Inspired by the fresh sea air, this exhibi-tion will encapsulate the work of Lewis-Manning to breathe easy, live well and love life. There will be a se-lection committee, as the gallery has a limited wall space, but they will en-deavour to hang the maxi-mum amount possible.

For further information on how to submit paintings for the exhibition, you can download an entry form via the website link below or contact the hospice on 01202 701000.

The team at the Savills office in Canford Cliffs have celebrated a record year, thanks to an amaz-ing second half of the year!

Head of office, Keith Fensom said “The local property mar-ket seemed to improve as the year progressed for us, with a marked increase in buyer confi-dence. As a result of this busier market, property prices have started to rise in the area, which has been particularly noticeable during the last quarter of 2013.”

“With many buyers coming from out of the area, our suc-cess has been helped by our national network of 90 offices across the country and our strong brand name.”

Keith went onto say that “Our highly regarded research de-partment are forecasting that the market will continue to improve during 2014. They feel that it will be important to take advantage of this revival next year if people are looking to sell

as the market is likely to quiet-en down again during 2015, due to economic uncertainties with it being an election year.”

“The Savills office in Canford Cliffs has now been established for almost 12 years, with an experienced team of 6 people, having 85 years of local knowl-edge between them, 45 years of which have been with Savills. The team comprises; Jacqui Harper, Sabrina Bodley, Pippa Leech, Jacquie Owen, Carol Ma-ther and myself.” As a result of such a successful end to last year, we have a shortage of properties to offer for sale and therefore urgently require new instructions for our large appli-cant database. If you are think-ing of selling, please do not hes-itate to contact one of our team members, when we would be delighted to provide you with a free, no obligation market ap-praisal of your home.Savills Canford Cliffs 01202 708888 www.savills.co.uk.

NAPIER Management Ser-vices Ltd welcomed friends and guests to their new offic-es in Westbourne. The event which took place on Thursday saw over 60 guests treated to smoked salmon and spicy prawn canapés, washed down with champagne. Aileen Lac-ey-Payne, Director of Napier said: “It was a very fun evening and a good way to thank every-one we work with. We wanted to showcase our new office and it was great to see our staff interact with landlords and suppliers, who are all instru-mental in making our business the success it is.” Napier has ex-panded considerably in recent years - mainly through recom-mendation - with clients from a cross section of residential management company direc-tors, right-to-manage compa-ny directors, freeholders and developers. There is another office in Fordingbridge which looks after blocks of flats across the New Forest, up to Salisbury and into Hampshire. The port-folio of properties managed by Napier spans from small free-holder owned conversions and new-builds, to large purpose built blocks run in conjunc-tion with their Management Company Directors. Aileen added, “Since the company was formed in 1994 we have established ourselves within the local landlord fraternity as a professional company and a safe pair of hands to look after their investments.” “With clients spread across Dorset, the New Forest and Hampshire, we are looking to open a further office in Southampton in the New Year – so watch this space!”

Meridian Lifts, A Poole-based, family owned company providing a range of installation, repair and maintenance services to customers of all sizes across Dorset, Hampshire,Sussex and Wiltshire, has been presented with a nationally recognised award for the second time.

Joint owners, Andrew and Joanne Tomlin who have operated their successful business, Meridian Lifts from their custom built factory at Benridge Park, Poole since 1996, were awarded the Investors in People Standard for staff development and training, joining more than 22,000 ambitious organisations in the UK that are recognised against the Investors in People framework.

Originally created to help businesses recover after the recession of the 1980s, the national quality Standard is equally as relevant today. Awarded to well-run organisations which demonstrate good management practice with a high emphasis on best

practice people management and development, the Standard encourages growth, profitability and efficiency.

Joanne Tomlin, Managing Director at Meridian Lifts, who employ some 20 staff said: “We’re absolutely ecstatic to be receiving this award once again; a good company needs good people working as a team, and that’s why we endeavour to support our staff wherever possible.”

Investors in People South found that the key strength of Meridian Lifts is the longevity of service of staff, with all staff expressing a genuine commitment to the Company, their customers and to each other. A family business culture still exists, and there is a genuine oneness with

everyone prepared to help the Company and assist the Directors in achieving their vision for the future. In other words; engaging employees equals success.

Research shows that organisations of any type and size that adopt a comprehensive approach to people development perform better than those without, indicated by higher gross profits per employee, higher profit margins and higher productivity. Companies that have achieved the Investors in People Standard also have higher levels of trust, co-operation and commitment than their competitors.

John Telfer, Managing Director of Investors in People South, said: “This

award is a celebration of both management and staff learning from each other and collaborating together to create an efficient and enjoyable working environment. I look forward to hearing about further success and award recognition from Meridian Lifts in the future.”

Local lass Debbie Pritchett has been selling properties in Dorset and Hampshire since the late ‘80’s and, having worked in senior positions at MAYS, YOUhome and Countrywide, Debbie definitely understands the evolution of the contemporary property market.

It is therefore no surprise to her competitors that she has launched her own company, Artisan Estate Agents (www.artisanestateagents.co.uk). In 2005 Debbie realised, while setting up an online property company abroad, that the necessity for expensive high street offices was no longer essential for selling houses.

This was proven again, when returning to Dorset in 2006, Debbie sold a property in Canford Cliffs from Lyndhurst! Modern day lifestyles are changing, we shop and socialise online, we work online and we search for our next home online. Artisan Estate Agents fully embraces change and offers a friendly, bespoke and professional service drawn from decades of experience working with sellers and buyers in Dorset & Hampshire.

Using professional photography, floor plans and an attitude that truly cares, Artisan’s priority is making

your property differentiate from the rest, to attract the best buyers at the best price. We have no long contract tie-ins, low commission fees and longer opening hours.

In the modern market you need someone to think beyond the edge of their desk, so contact Debbie on email [email protected] or on 01202 798798 to find out more about Artisan’s fantastic launch offers.

PUTTING THE ART INTO MOVING

DWP HOUSING PARTNERSHIPA familiar part of Boscombe is due to be transformed after DWP Housing Partnership received the green light to redevelop an entire street block.

Dorset’s biggest private landlord is investing more than £3million in the project on Christchurch Road after a planning inspector gave permission.

The block will be pulled down and entirely rebuilt with purpose-built accommodation above eight new shops.

DWP Housing Partnership estimates that work will get underway in 2015.The project shows DWP Housing Partnership keeping to its promise of helping regenerate the area while providing self-contained

housing.

When completed, the four storey, brick-built block will bring an entirely new look to the current street view.

Steve Wells from DWP Housing Partnership said: “We’ve owned this block for some time and we’re relieved that we finally have permission to redevelop it.

“What’s there is not a good use of space and the replacement will transform the road and will enhance the look of this part of town.

“We are committed to help regenerate Boscombe and continuing to invest in this scheme.”

The block is situated at 752-778 Christchurch Road.www.dwphousing.co.uk

Over the past 18 months there have been many exciting changes under the Aspray name. Back in May 2012 we became part of the Key Drummond Group and things have gone from strength to strength in our prominent Lower Parkstone office ever since.

Given this success, we are pleased to announce that our Branch Manager Katie Fox has now been appointed to Associate Director, giving her the opportunity to grow further in the company.

Katie says: “I am overwhelmed to be a part of Aspray’s success and with my new role, I now have the foundations to grow the business further and very much look forward to a long standing career under the’ Key Drummond’ group. With Aspray being one of the longest established agents

in Ashley Cross I am keen to keep the traditional values and personal service.

The market outlook for 2014 is hugely exciting with many signs of a very successful year ahead. The market in the last six months has been nothing but buoyant, with the highest prices since 2007 being achieved on both flats and houses, excellent mortgage rates, positive media coverage and of course not forgetting the introduction of the government ‘Help to Buy’ scheme. The demand is currently outstripping the supply so I am urging any home owners that want to sell to contact us!”

With Katie and her team’s constant enthusiasm and passion for selling we know we have all it takes to offer our sellers and buyers a second to none service.

ty investment for this client, who has no experience in the proper-ty field. As such we have been brought on board to deal with the red tape, such as the annual gas safety reports and registering the deposits with a deposit scheme so he does not have to. We will also be co-ordinating the lettings

as well as advising the client on rental levels and overseeing the fitting out the units ready for oc-cupation”. For any information on property management issues please contact Will Maugham on 01202 550000 or email [email protected]

LOCAL ARTISTS INVITED TO CONTRIBUTE TO EXHIBITION

HOTEL SALES END 2013 STRONGLY HELP TO BUY DRIVES FURTHER EXPANSIONThe Hotels and Leisure Divi-

sion of Goadsby have reported a strong end to 2013, includ-ing the sales of four regional hotels.

Acting on the instructions of the Salvation Army, Cliff House at Southbourne, which had been totally refurbished in 2003 and stands in grounds of ½ acre, has been purchased by a London based catering events organiser. The superb-ly presented 4 star Castle Lodge at Highcliffe, which stands in the original grounds of Highcliffe Castle, has been acquired by a local hotelier seeking to trade up. The 9 bedroom Lea Hurst Hotel, located close to the Central Business District and Travel Interchange in Bournemouth, has been secured by Reading based purchasers seeking a change of lifestyle by em-barking on this new venture. Also, the 16 bedroom Safari Hotel & Bistro in the heart of Bournemouth’s West Cliff,

having previously featured on the Hotel Inspector television programme, has attracted purchasers relocating from Liverpool to the south.

Divisional Director, Ian Palm-er, commented, “As 2013 drew to a close there was a notice-able increase in activity levels in a market sector which has, to a greater extent, been in the doldrums. However, for the first time in some years there is genuine reason for optimism in that the con-straints that have been placed upon the leisure market will ease a little and, as such, a greater level of sales should ensue. Consequently Goads-by is once again actively seeking new hotel and guest house instructions”.

The hotels were sold off a combined quoting price of £2.5 million and for further similar opportunities please contact Hotel Department on 01202 550000.

Three months on from the start of the Help to Buy mortgage guarantee scheme and more than 6000 people have put in offers on a home and applied for a mortgage. In November, ministers published figures showing that in the first month of the scheme more than 2000 people had put in offers on homes and applied for a Help to Buy mortgage. That number has now trebled.

The mortgages, once approved, would represent nearly £1bil-lion of new lending to aspiring home owners who may have previously found the property market out of reach because of the size of deposit required. Barclays and Santander will introduce their own Help to Buy products onto the market this month, joining Lloyds Banking Group, RBS, HSBC, Virgin Money and Aldermore who have all launched products over the last three months, providing a wide range of options for first time buyers and other potential applicants in 2014.

The expansion will mean two-thirds of the entire UK mort-gage market will offer products under the Help to Buy scheme, bringing home ownership to a growing number of people.

New figures also show that an additional 20,000 households have also been supported by the Help to Buy Equity Loan scheme, a separate scheme where the Government provides an interest-free loan to support the purchase of the newly built home.

The Government said that the large number of applications for Help to Buy mortgages suggested the high Loan-To-Value part of the mortgage market was moving again. High Loan-To-Value mortgages were the main route to ownership for most first time buyers over the last 30 years, but there have been fewer products available in recent years. Prime Minis-ter David Cameron said: “The New Year is often a time when people look to make those big life-changing decisions like moving home or taking that first step on the housing ladder.

“But too many people have found themselves frozen out of the market in recent years as a result of the size of the depos-it required. “That is why as part of our long-term economic plan we introduced the Help to Buy scheme, so hardworking people with sufficient earnings can get on, fulfil their aspi-rations and enjoy the security of owning their own home.

“I want to see that continue in 2014 and for Help to Buy to help thousands more realise their dream of home owner-ship.”

NEW YEAR, NEW CAREER AT LOCAL HOSPICE?

NEW OFFICE FOR NAPIER

Lewis-Manning Hospice is inviting local artists to sub-mit paintings for an Open Exhibition it is hosting at The Gallery Upstairs (for-merly the Peacock Gallery) at Upton Country House from January 18 - 28, open-ing 10.30am - 3pm daily.

The exhibition will have an element of an 'A Breath of Fresh Air' theme, celebrat-ing anything to do with breath, life, air, flow and movement. Inspired by the fresh sea air, this exhibi-tion will encapsulate the work of Lewis-Manning to breathe easy, live well and love life. There will be a se-lection committee, as the gallery has a limited wall space, but they will en-deavour to hang the maxi-mum amount possible.

For further information on how to submit paintings for the exhibition, you can download an entry form via the website link below or contact the hospice on 01202 701000.

The team at the Savills office in Canford Cliffs have celebrated a record year, thanks to an amaz-ing second half of the year!

Head of office, Keith Fensom said “The local property mar-ket seemed to improve as the year progressed for us, with a marked increase in buyer confi-dence. As a result of this busier market, property prices have started to rise in the area, which has been particularly noticeable during the last quarter of 2013.”

“With many buyers coming from out of the area, our suc-cess has been helped by our national network of 90 offices across the country and our strong brand name.”

Keith went onto say that “Our highly regarded research de-partment are forecasting that the market will continue to improve during 2014. They feel that it will be important to take advantage of this revival next year if people are looking to sell

as the market is likely to quiet-en down again during 2015, due to economic uncertainties with it being an election year.”

“The Savills office in Canford Cliffs has now been established for almost 12 years, with an experienced team of 6 people, having 85 years of local knowl-edge between them, 45 years of which have been with Savills. The team comprises; Jacqui Harper, Sabrina Bodley, Pippa Leech, Jacquie Owen, Carol Ma-ther and myself.” As a result of such a successful end to last year, we have a shortage of properties to offer for sale and therefore urgently require new instructions for our large appli-cant database. If you are think-ing of selling, please do not hes-itate to contact one of our team members, when we would be delighted to provide you with a free, no obligation market ap-praisal of your home.Savills Canford Cliffs 01202 708888 www.savills.co.uk.

NAPIER Management Ser-vices Ltd welcomed friends and guests to their new offic-es in Westbourne. The event which took place on Thursday saw over 60 guests treated to smoked salmon and spicy prawn canapés, washed down with champagne. Aileen Lac-ey-Payne, Director of Napier said: “It was a very fun evening and a good way to thank every-one we work with. We wanted to showcase our new office and it was great to see our staff interact with landlords and suppliers, who are all instru-mental in making our business the success it is.” Napier has ex-panded considerably in recent years - mainly through recom-mendation - with clients from a cross section of residential management company direc-tors, right-to-manage compa-ny directors, freeholders and developers. There is another office in Fordingbridge which looks after blocks of flats across the New Forest, up to Salisbury and into Hampshire. The port-folio of properties managed by Napier spans from small free-holder owned conversions and new-builds, to large purpose built blocks run in conjunc-tion with their Management Company Directors. Aileen added, “Since the company was formed in 1994 we have established ourselves within the local landlord fraternity as a professional company and a safe pair of hands to look after their investments.” “With clients spread across Dorset, the New Forest and Hampshire, we are looking to open a further office in Southampton in the New Year – so watch this space!”

Meridian Lifts, A Poole-based, family owned company providing a range of installation, repair and maintenance services to customers of all sizes across Dorset, Hampshire,Sussex and Wiltshire, has been presented with a nationally recognised award for the second time.

Joint owners, Andrew and Joanne Tomlin who have operated their successful business, Meridian Lifts from their custom built factory at Benridge Park, Poole since 1996, were awarded the Investors in People Standard for staff development and training, joining more than 22,000 ambitious organisations in the UK that are recognised against the Investors in People framework.

Originally created to help businesses recover after the recession of the 1980s, the national quality Standard is equally as relevant today. Awarded to well-run organisations which demonstrate good management practice with a high emphasis on best

practice people management and development, the Standard encourages growth, profitability and efficiency.

Joanne Tomlin, Managing Director at Meridian Lifts, who employ some 20 staff said: “We’re absolutely ecstatic to be receiving this award once again; a good company needs good people working as a team, and that’s why we endeavour to support our staff wherever possible.”

Investors in People South found that the key strength of Meridian Lifts is the longevity of service of staff, with all staff expressing a genuine commitment to the Company, their customers and to each other. A family business culture still exists, and there is a genuine oneness with

everyone prepared to help the Company and assist the Directors in achieving their vision for the future. In other words; engaging employees equals success.

Research shows that organisations of any type and size that adopt a comprehensive approach to people development perform better than those without, indicated by higher gross profits per employee, higher profit margins and higher productivity. Companies that have achieved the Investors in People Standard also have higher levels of trust, co-operation and commitment than their competitors.

John Telfer, Managing Director of Investors in People South, said: “This

award is a celebration of both management and staff learning from each other and collaborating together to create an efficient and enjoyable working environment. I look forward to hearing about further success and award recognition from Meridian Lifts in the future.”

Local lass Debbie Pritchett has been selling properties in Dorset and Hampshire since the late ‘80’s and, having worked in senior positions at MAYS, YOUhome and Countrywide, Debbie definitely understands the evolution of the contemporary property market.

It is therefore no surprise to her competitors that she has launched her own company, Artisan Estate Agents (www.artisanestateagents.co.uk). In 2005 Debbie realised, while setting up an online property company abroad, that the necessity for expensive high street offices was no longer essential for selling houses.

This was proven again, when returning to Dorset in 2006, Debbie sold a property in Canford Cliffs from Lyndhurst! Modern day lifestyles are changing, we shop and socialise online, we work online and we search for our next home online. Artisan Estate Agents fully embraces change and offers a friendly, bespoke and professional service drawn from decades of experience working with sellers and buyers in Dorset & Hampshire.

Using professional photography, floor plans and an attitude that truly cares, Artisan’s priority is making

your property differentiate from the rest, to attract the best buyers at the best price. We have no long contract tie-ins, low commission fees and longer opening hours.

In the modern market you need someone to think beyond the edge of their desk, so contact Debbie on email [email protected] or on 01202 798798 to find out more about Artisan’s fantastic launch offers.

PUTTING THE ART INTO MOVING

DWP HOUSING PARTNERSHIPA familiar part of Boscombe is due to be transformed after DWP Housing Partnership received the green light to redevelop an entire street block.

Dorset’s biggest private landlord is investing more than £3million in the project on Christchurch Road after a planning inspector gave permission.

The block will be pulled down and entirely rebuilt with purpose-built accommodation above eight new shops.

DWP Housing Partnership estimates that work will get underway in 2015.The project shows DWP Housing Partnership keeping to its promise of helping regenerate the area while providing self-contained

housing.

When completed, the four storey, brick-built block will bring an entirely new look to the current street view.

Steve Wells from DWP Housing Partnership said: “We’ve owned this block for some time and we’re relieved that we finally have permission to redevelop it.

“What’s there is not a good use of space and the replacement will transform the road and will enhance the look of this part of town.

“We are committed to help regenerate Boscombe and continuing to invest in this scheme.”

The block is situated at 752-778 Christchurch Road.www.dwphousing.co.uk

Over the past 18 months there have been many exciting changes under the Aspray name. Back in May 2012 we became part of the Key Drummond Group and things have gone from strength to strength in our prominent Lower Parkstone office ever since.

Given this success, we are pleased to announce that our Branch Manager Katie Fox has now been appointed to Associate Director, giving her the opportunity to grow further in the company.

Katie says: “I am overwhelmed to be a part of Aspray’s success and with my new role, I now have the foundations to grow the business further and very much look forward to a long standing career under the’ Key Drummond’ group. With Aspray being one of the longest established agents

in Ashley Cross I am keen to keep the traditional values and personal service.

The market outlook for 2014 is hugely exciting with many signs of a very successful year ahead. The market in the last six months has been nothing but buoyant, with the highest prices since 2007 being achieved on both flats and houses, excellent mortgage rates, positive media coverage and of course not forgetting the introduction of the government ‘Help to Buy’ scheme. The demand is currently outstripping the supply so I am urging any home owners that want to sell to contact us!”

With Katie and her team’s constant enthusiasm and passion for selling we know we have all it takes to offer our sellers and buyers a second to none service.

Protecting your home and loved ones is always im-portant. However, if ever you own a small business there’s a bright way to buy life insurance for yourself and your key employees.

With a relevant life policy the business makes the payments, not the person who’s covered.

That means you won’t pay any national insurance contributions or income tax on the premiums but you still get the benefits of corporation tax relief. And that all adds up to big tax savings.

So if you’re thinking of life cover for yourself or your employees, talk to Debbie J Boyes about relevant life policies and see how much the taxman could save you.

Latest data from Knight Frank reveals that prime country house prices are set to continue increasing through 2014 after rising again during the final quarter of 2013. The average price of a prime country house in England increased by 1.4% in the final quarter of 2013 – the biggest quarterly increase in prices in more than three years. On an annual basis, prices have risen by 3.1%.

However Knight Frank said that price performance was becoming increasingly dependent on the value of a property: homes worth under £2m increased by an average of 1.7% over the last three months, while price growth for properties in the higher price brackets was more muted.

Higher stamp duty charges for £2million+ properties, introduced at last year’s Budget, were a key driver behind stronger growth from the lower price brackets.

The average value of a home worth between £2m and £3m rose by 1%, while the price of properties worth between £3m and £4m climbed by 0.4% between October and December. However, the average price of a home worth between £4m and £5m fell by 0.3% over the same time period.

Despite this, prices of “super-prime” £5million+ homes proved more resilient due to low stock levels increasing by 2% in Q4. According to Knight Frank, demand in the market remained strong with more new applicants registering and property viewings increasing over the same period.

Knight Frank said that better economic conditions and the improved buyer confidence meant that the prime country house market should grow by an average 3.5% this year.

NAEA PREMIERES TELEVISION ADVERTS The National Association of Estate Agents is hitting the small screen with a tel-evision advert aimed at reminding consumers of the importance of choosing a licensed agent. Adverts for the NAEA are being broadcast on channels including ITV4, Home, Sky Atlantic, Sky Livingit and Discovery Home & Health. Separate adverts promoting members of the Association of Residential Letting Agents are airing on the same channels from next week.

The organisations said the campaigns have been designed to reflect the impor-tance of sound choices when appointing an agent to work with on any aspect of property ownership or rental.

Mark Hayward, Managing Director of the NAEA, said: “We are delighted with the finished product and we’re really looking forward to the first airing of these adverts. “It is essential that consumers, whether buying or letting, look for NAEA and ARLA logos for peace of mind throughout the process. These advertise-ments were commissioned to help the public avoid unscrupulous agents who may, sadly, not have their clients’ best interests at heart.”

3 REASONS... TO LOVE LANTERNS

Lanterns make even the simplest garden look sophisticated – a fuss-free way to dress it up before your guests arrive.

Most can hold a small tealight or large candle, depending on your preference, and would make a beautiful table centrepiece.

A warm candle glow would set off brightly coloured, silky floor cushions and throws in a conservatory, or bring a bit of magic to the garden when hanging from a low branch.

HOME IMPROVEMENTS

1. Think of the function of the room, what is the room used for and who will be using it? You can then answer many questions about material, products, layout and storage.

2. Every product you incorpo-rate must be allocated its own working space, also don’t be afraid to bring furniture off the � oor, layering the room and giving the illusion of added space. Wall mounted products lead the eye below, making the � oor areas appear even bigger.

3. In small spaces it can been bene� cial to conceal as much as possible by using stud work to reduce unnecessary clut-ter. Wall hung units give the impression of greater space by keeping everything off the � oor and maximising � oor space. Recessed mirrored cabinets also have the dual function of hidden storage and light re� ecting qualities to make the room appear larger.

4. Lighting is a crucial part of any bathroom scheme in order to give the desired dra-matic ambience. Down lights will give a general wash of

light, however to create an interesting scheme, consider placing coloured LED lights in to alcoves or � oor positioned LED lights behind focal areas such as a free-standing bath to give a romantic touch. Under cabinet lighting also helps to give the appearance of space.

5. When faced with limited space, problem or awkward areas, it is well worth consid-ering made to measure and other bespoke products, so whether it’s a sloping ceiling causing you issues or you would like to transform an otherwise wasted space there should be nothing stopping you.

6. Consider using space saving sanitary ware such as corner wash basins, counter top models or sanitary ware with short projection. Look at possibly using a smaller bath with a shower above instead of being a separate item. Also, in some spaces curves are a better option than square as they are softer and less obtrusive.

HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR BATHROOMIf you’re thinking of improving your bathroom in 2014 but � nd-ing it hard to be inspired by the limited space, Ripples trained designers can advise on how to make the smallest room in the house the place you want to spend the most time.

Around 54% of us have an ‘unloved’ room in our houses, according to recent research by B&Q, and most often that’s the spare.

It’s commonly a dumping ground and at the bottom of the list for decor attention, with the result that it ends up groaning with clutter and, style-wise, is way past its sell-by date.

Panic can set in with the impending in-flux of visitors, but there’s still time for a revamp which can transform it into a welcoming space.

“For me, a guest bedrooms should always be welcoming, comfortable and cosy,” says Jenny Blanc, designer and owner of Jenny Blanc Interiors. “I often create a small seasonal display with berries, fir

cones, dried oranges and holly to deco-rate the dressing table.

Be inspired by hotel room luxury, she suggests, and as well as choosing classic bedding, decorate the bed with beautiful, plump cushions, and soft cashmere or faux fur throws.

“In the wardrobe, I always make sure there are soft towelling robes, slippers, thick, fluffy towels and bath essences smelling of winter spices, such as pine, orange, bergamot and ginger.”

This neglected nook can be saved, and making a few small changes to get it guest-ready could inspire you to lavish further TLC on it later and transform it into a sanctuary you’ll love visiting.

Pick up the paintbrush, splurge a few accessories, sprinkle some seasonal touches and hey presto - you’ll conjure a room that’s festive and fresh.

“To recreate the individuality of a boutique hotel, don’t be afraid to push boundaries by mixing the bold and the bright,” says Blanc.

“For ultimate comfort, invest in good quality bed linen - crisp white linen never dates and always feel luxurious - and choose accessories with character for depth of interest.”

Even one coat of paint can refresh a space. If you can’t face decorating the whole room, turn one wall into a feature with a shade which complements the rest of your scheme.

B&Q’s Colours One Coat Emulsion, £18.98 for 2.5 litres dries to a matt finish and has a low light reflective effect, ideal for creating the illusion of a larger space.

Alternatively, achieve a new look with wallpaper, such as Next’s fun Postcard Wallpaper, £18 a roll, evocative of visitors and holidays.

DON’T SPARE THE STYLEVisitors are looming and the most neglected room in the

house needs sorting fast. HOUSE identifies quick, cheap

fixes to smarten up the spare room.

Once your guests have departed you can assess the performance of your room - few compliments on its comfort and style means a makeover is overdue!

“Natural materials, neutral tones and deli-cate finishes capture the light and create a sophisticated palette of textures and tones that’s subtle, versatile and perfect for a guest room,” says Emma Sims Hilditch, creative director at Neptune Home.

“For a warm finish, choose grey-based neutrals with a brown, rather than blue base, to optimise that cocooning effect. Start with a base colour for the walls and layer up with plenty of textures in hand-painted furniture, fabrics, and rugs.” For a final touch, display photos (includ-ing those of regular visitors ideally!) in an Umbra Montage Photo Art Display in Black, £99, Red Candy.

CELEBRATING 10 SUCCESSFUL YEARSKen Parke Planning Consultants are celebrating their tenth anniversary this year. They’ve seen some enormous changes over this time too! Ken Parke, Managing Director, says:

“Having started out in the planning team of a local firm of solicitors, I decided to set up my own practice in 2003. Initially, we worked from home, but we quickly moved into offices in Christchurch and took on staff. Ten years on, we have recently moved into our own premises in Winton which will allow us to expand the business further.

The past few years have been challenging in many ways. The planning system is constantly evolving as governments change their policies and the economy fluctuates. The recession also affected every house builder, business and private individual in some way, good or bad, and we had to adapt accordingly. Things are definitely recovering now though and we are ready to respond.

We love the variety of work - One day you can be helping a householder extend their property in the New Forest National Park against some very restrictive planning policies and the next you might be working on a Public Inquiry for a major regeneration scheme with a whole host of different issues.

We thrive on helping the ordinary man in the street to get the best out of a complex planning system which is often over-cautiously interpreted or applied at local authority level.’

Over the years, Ken Parke Planning has been responsible for obtaining planning permission for numerous development and regeneration schemes which now form part of the local townscapes across the region. When asked about his most notable projects Ken says:

“That’s a difficult one because some jobs are satisfying when we’ve been able to overcome complex elements of planning law whereas others make you proud when they involve working with a team of architects and other experts to achieve a

high quality planning and design outcome. For instance, we recently had to fight to have some overly restrictive conditions removed from a new block of student accommodation in Charminster. The legal aspects were very complex so winning the argument in that case was really satisfying. However, we were also proud of our involvement in securing permission for some individually designed homes and retirement complexes in the historic cores of Wilton and Sherborne.

We are currently working on the redevelopment of the former Sopley Camp/Merryfield Park site near Bransgore, promoting numerous sites for large housing schemes within Dorset and further afield, a new office complex in the New Forest, some large regeneration schemes within Bournemouth, 2 supermarkets and several mixed use schemes in the Midlands.

We moved offices to facilitate further expansion. My aim is to ensure that we are the experts of choice and provide the highest level of service to our clients. We enjoy what we do and relish the challenges that come with it. We are certainly approaching the next 10 years with the same level of enthusiasm as we did in 2003 but thankfully, due to hard work and dedicated staff, without the same fear of the unknown we experienced as a new business!”

ASK THE LETTINGS EXPERTSharon CanningMove On Rentals

Starting 2014 with rent arrears?As we have left 2013 and entered 2014, how are your tenants

doing with their rent? In January 2013 a total of £326million

in rent was either late or unpaid according to survey by LSL

Property Services. This had increased by nearly £100million

because of Christmas 2012.

There was an article in the Independent in December 2013

of a council in London sending out Christmas cards to their

17,000 tenants reminding them to pay their rent before

splashing out on festivities, the card had a picture of a pound

coin fizzing in a glass with the message ’Don’t over indulge

this Christmas – pay your rent’. Hammersmith and Fulham

Council reportedly have 49% of their tenants in arrears;

however the tenants themselves found the card insulting.

2013 has not been easy for most people financially and

Christmas is always the hardest time of the year and probably

the easiest time to succumb to the temptation of buying gifts

for loved ones and worry about the bills in January.

If you are a tenant and you find yourself entering 2014 in an

arrears situation, then you should speak to your landlord/

agent as soon as possible, ignoring requests to communicate

from then will just make the situation worst and could end

up with you being evicted (contrary to belief, landlords/agents

do not have a crystal ball and know your situation in full).

Going forward rent arrears can be a large obstacle in either

moving to another property or finding yourself turned down

by the next landlord because you had or are in rent arrears.

If you are a landlord, then talking to your tenant and trying

to come to a payment plan to catch up could prove less costly

than taking them to court. However, I give a word of warning

to tenants who enter a payment plan, ensure it is one you

can keep, a good landlord is worth keeping but at the end of

the day it is a business and they more often than not have a

mortgage to pay on the property.

If you are a landlord and would like advice on your tenant arrears, or need help with issuing the appropriate notices to end the tenancy then please contact [email protected] or telephone the office on 01202 711169.

Margaret, 75, living with cancerMy day didn’t start too well. Everything had got on top of me and I felt really low. When I called the Macmillan Support Line, I didn’t know where to start. But somehow they helped me find the words. Just talking honestly about how I felt was such a relief. Now I don't have to cope with the bad days on my own.

EVOKING THE EXOTIC

Leave the suitcases to gather dust in the loft and bring far-flung destinations into your home instead. Gabrielle Fagan checks into the look for travel-inspired decor. Holidays abroad are a treat, if you’re lucky enough to have one, but most of us come home feeling they’re over too quickly. But there’s a way to prolong that feelgood factor - by conjuring up those getaway settings in your home, taking inspiration from the locations you love or those you dream of visiting.

“Evoking the style of a destination that you love is a brilliant way to give give rooms an update, will help the holiday spirit linger longer and could lift your spirits if our unpredictable climate is getting you down,” says designer Linda Barker. Global influences have made their mark on the home collections of high street stores this year, so you won’t have to go far to find the vital vacation ingredients.“It’s all about evoking the mood of the place. Simply pick perhaps one colour shade characteristic

of your holiday spot and together with a few well-chosen accessories, those visual hints can be enough,” says Barker.

Choose your holiday style - then all you need to do is send a postcard saying: ‘Wish you were here!’

Leave the suitcases to gather dust in the loft and bring far-flung destinations into your home instead. Gabrielle Fagan checks into the look for travel-inspired decor.

Symmetry, clean lines, glossy lacquered materials and a total absence of clutter make this a tranquil, orderly setting which is pleasing to the eye and allows decorative details to star.

Wood vs Plastic

Plastic has many practical & very useful properties & has an infinite range of different uses, including:

The list of possibilities are endless and the long-term advantages it has over traditional materials are staggering!

It’s a great investment, as it never needs to be replaced due to its high strength and durability, therefore it quickly pays for itself in the long run. In short, it’s worry free!

Recycling never looked so good!

WHAT IS HOME STAGING?

The term "Home Staging" is now widely used to describe the process of getting your home ready for sale by ensuring the presentation is the best that it can be. However, Professional Home Staging is much more than 'painting it all white and clearing out the clutter!

WHO DO WE HELP?

1. Home owners wanting to sell their property.2. Home owners currently already on the market and struggling to sell.3. Developers & Landlords needing a Show Home staged to help sell

their new development with a professional interior design service, that includes the design and complete fit out of the space.

Call Nykke today on 077 9009 2291 to book your initial home staging consultation for

ONLY £95

You wouldn’t sell your car without giving it a thorough clean and spruce up, so why even contemplate not doing the same for your property! So ‘Home Stage’ it!

Home Staging a property for sale means making the most of its best features:

•Maximisethesenseofspace&light

•De-personalisingthespace

•De-clutteringthespace

•Neutralizingthespace

Therefore, presenting it in a way that ap-peals to the maximum number of poten-tial buyers. I offer a flexible service to suit your needs, whether you simply require an initial verbal consultation and advice, right through to project managing an entire makeover for you, I have the service to help make the most of your property. So you can sell your house quickly!

PROJECT ONE HOW TO MAKE A STATEMENT FIRST IMPRESSIONS COUNT… This hallway was tired, dated and stuck in the noughties! It was time for a change! Nykke and her client created a beautiful contemporary design scheme, by playing with the light and height of the space, bringing the space into the 21st century.

THE DESIGN PLAN:

Incorporating soft neutral colours and textures with a touch of glamour, by add-ing metallic and light reflective elements, like that off glass beaded wallpapers, and finishes of silver and bronze. Classic pol-ished travertine was used on the expansive floor area, and shimmering voiles hang from the ceiling, softly lit from behind enhancing the height of the space. Taupe and metallic Roman blinds cosy up the windows. And, a massive spiral chandelier to bounce light around the room. Newly designed & com-missioned under stairs storage, beautifully lit, with crystal handles, and painted a soft white.

ONE INTERIOR DESIGNNykke Jones, One Interior Design talks us through some ‘Home Staging’ projects to help you prepare your home for sale.

THE NEW COLOUR PALETTEPointing, Elephants Breath & Charleston Gray From Farrow & Ball

PROJECT TWO HOW TO FRESHEN UP! BREATHE NEW LIFE INTO YOUR HOME… This house was caught up in a whirlwind of different colours and designs and themes, and had no unity. Nykke worked with her clients to renovate and bring up to date this beautiful big 1930’s house, and create a fluid unifying family home.

THE DESIGN PLAN:

To give each room its own identity, with a personality and function for the space. Equally bringing the house together more succinctly. Each room has been tastefully decorated to suit its end user.

ENTRANCE HALLThe entrance hall was not so inviting or practical. For a busy family we added a hall table, big baskets for shoes and umbrellas, lighting and a big mirror. Somewhere to throw your keys and hide the kid’s shoes. Also a comfy chair to put your shoes on as you’re heading out the door. Practical yet warm and inviting.

FAMILY ROOMCombining all the elements that make a big open plan living area work. A TV area, dining area and chill out zone in the conservatory. Coupled with fun, happy colours and fabrics that bring this big bright open space together.

1. SAVE MONEY“Hiring a designer can help you to avoid costly mistakes that will not only help you save money but can increase the value of your home.”

2. PROFESSIONAL ASSESSMENT“A designer can give you a professional assessment of your situation, which will lead to a solid plan of action. The order of things in a design plan is so important in determining what can be kept, or should be edited. This will not only affect the budget but help you to spend it more efficiently.” A designer offers an extra set of eyes, but these eyes are trained to see and notice things that you may not.

3. BUDGETING AND PLANNINGA designer can keep you on budget and save you time and effort. A designer knows where to go for resources for everything related to your home. This will save you endless amounts of time researching products, brands and prices. A designer will have all this readily on hand, or will spend the time researching so that you don’t have to.

4. LIAISON…A designer will be able to build “a stronger bridge between you and your ar-chitect or contractor early on and can head off design misses in your overall plan. This is crucial in managing time and money. Also designers are trained to think about things we may overlook. “It’s so important that the lighting and furnishing needs are addressed before construction. If your living room sofa is floating in the middle of the room you want to make sure you have the proper placement for floor outlets.”

5. WIDE AVAILABILITY OF RESOURCESThere are things available to designers that are not available to the general public in terms of connections, resources and general merchandise. By cul-minating these resources designers can help to make your space look more unique and pulled together.

6. CONTACTSNykke states that: “In addition to vendor resources, designers have many home improvement industry contacts. They can save homeowners time and head-aches trying to identify reliable, contractors, plumbers and electricians for their projects.”

7. WOW FACTORDesigners can help to give you the “wow” factor you’ve been looking for. They are trained to think differently, spatially, and to see an overall picture that cli-ents often cannot. Nykke adds that “Thinking outside of the box is what de-signers do all day long.”

8. HOME STAGINGA designer can potentially add a great deal to the aesthetic of your home, which in turn can increase viewings and sales. This increased appeal can expo-nentially speed up the amount of time your home sits on the market before it is sold. The benefit here is two-fold, a faster turn-around time and more money in your pocket.

9. A TRAINED EYE“A designer is a professional with a trained eye that can automatically tell you if there is something wrong or right with a space. Having that immediate consultation is a major advantage when making aesthetic decisions. It is the result of years of experience.” says Nykke.

10. VISUAL STORY-TELLERNykke concludes with the fact that: “Interior design is a skill and an art that will only enhance the space and the quality of your life within the space. Hiring a pro raises the level of that experience, and helps make your house a home. A designer can help you tell your visual story. I can’t think of a better reason than that!” Next time you plan on moving to a new home, remodelling an existing one, or have a commercial property that needs an overhaul, give Nykke a call to help you make the best deci-sions about the space you live or work in.

MASTER BEDROOMThe master bedroom had a distinct art deco flavour built into the bones of the space. Draped with dark walnut panelling, it was crying out for some softness and colour. Embracing the beautiful art deco details, we graced the walls with a deco inspired geomet-ric metallic paper in duck egg, and combined soft creams, duck egg blue and silvers within the space. A wonderful balance of masculine and feminine.

BEFORE

BEDROOMThis bedroom was like a cave. Black every-where, and it sucked the light right out of the room. A few licks of paint, new art, lights and bedding and it transformed the space into a room you’d want to sleep in.

BEFORE

SITTING ROOMThis room wasn’t being used at all by the family, and so it was duly resurrected as a quiet sitting room. Comfy leather sofas sit opposite each other, flanked by a huge coffee table for all those books and morning cups of coffee. A place to retreat, relax and enjoy the open fire.

MOVING OUT VS MOVING UPThe stress of buying, selling and packing can put people off the idea of moving

house from the start and with research showing that moving house is deemed

one of the most ³stressful life events³ that people will encounter it is no surprise

people look for ways to avoid moving.

There are also the hidden costs associated with moving, that people do not consider at the start, such as stamp duty, surveying, legal costs and insurance to name a few.

So with that in mind moving house does not come cheap! Along with all the stress and hassle is it worth even considering? The average cost to move from a three bed to a four bed house is £87,640. With those moving costs in mind and in this economic climate it is sensible to think about gaining that extra space in your home via your loft.

An average cost of a Loft Conversion is around £38,000 and according to research by Nationwide adding a loft conversions could have the potential to increase the value of your property by almost a quarter. So a loft conversion could be your ideal solution. It can potentially add value to your property without all of those additional moving costs and inconvenience and hassle of uprooting your family to a new house.

EXTRA SPACE

If your family is growing and you feel that you need extra space for tiny feet, or that you need a room dedicated to quiet time and relaxation then a loft conversion could be the answer. Even if you just need the storage space, having your loft professionally converted with Cool Loft Conversions will maximise your loft potential.

EASIER & CHEAPER

Moving to a larger house might be your ultimate dream, but for a lot of people the money, time and stress involved puts this out of reach. A loft conversion is an alternative option that is cheaper, quicker and much lessfuss than relocating and you still feel like you own a new home once its complete.

INCREASE YOUR HOMES VALUE

A loft conversions can add great value

to your home, so when you decide to move you could get a better return on your property with a converted loft then without. Even with the initial building cost and additional expenses considered, having the extra space of a loft conversion can bring excellent returns on investment.

Here at Cool Loft Conversions, we have created a recent case study within our local area,t o see whether it is worth carrying out a loft conversion to achieve a forth bedroom compared to moving to gain more space.

After contacting local companies such a solicitors, removal firms and local estate agents to find out what they charge for the whole moving process, we found the results staggering.

We had to show our customers just how much it costs to purchase a forth bedroom by moving house compared to converting their existing loft thats already owned.

TO MOVE HOUSE

To sell a 3 bed and purchase

a 4 bed property.

The average price of a 3 bed

house on the South coast is

approx £270,000.

The average 4 bed house on

the South coast is approx

£340,000 so they mortgage

borrowing would increase to

£70,000.

The editional interest on the

extra borrowing.

Local estate agents charge

1% +vat. Fee of £3,240.

3% stamp duty on a 4 bed

house would cost £10,200

Conveyancing and contacts

for both properties. £1,600

A local removal company to

box up and move possesions

would cost £2,600.

0% increase in value once the

purchase price has been paid.

We had to show our customers just how much it costs to purchase a forth bedroom by moving house compared to converting their existing loft thats already owned.

TO MOVE HOUSE

To sell a 3 bed and purchase

a 4 bed property.



approx £270,000.

The average 4 bed house on

the South coast is approx

£340,000 so they mortgage

borrowing would increase to

£70,000.

The editional interest on the

extra borrowing.

Local estate agents charge

1% +vat. Fee of £3,240.

3% stamp duty on a 4 bed

house would cost £10,200

Conveyancing and contacts

for both properties. £1,600

A local removal company to

box up and move possesions

would cost £2,600.

0% increase in value once the

purchase price has been paid.

£87,640.00

£0.00

TRENDS

Many loft conversions do

not require planning permission;

however, we would always advocate

good design irrespective of

whether permission is

required.

OUTDOOR LIVING

We’ve come a long way since ‘figgy pudding’ first graced our tables back in the 16th century, but figs are still a luxury item at Christmas, served baked with honey or even as an Italian starter with Proscu-itto.

While they prefer sunnier climes, it is possible to grow them here in the UK if you can protect them from frost. They need a sunny spot in slightly alka-line, deep, rich, moisture-retentive soil. If you live in a really cold area, plant them next to a wall or fence which will protect them from harsh winds.

You need to be patient with figs, which take sever-al years to crop well and it’s worth protecting the branches carrying embryo fruits in winter with straw, conifer prunings or bracken held in place with netting. At the same time, remove any unripe figs from the previous summer. You may also need to protect ripening fruits from wasps and birds. Al-ternatively, grow them in pots in a sunny, sheltered site and transfer them to cold but frost-free condi-tions in winter.

GOOD ENOUGH TO EATFIGS

Gypsophila is one of those really useful fluffy white plants used for filling in gaps in flower arrangements with ease and, while it is widely available all year, I find it comes into its own at Christ-mas used to fill in gaps in the Christmas tree. Cut sprigs off and place them strategically between the layers of branches and it brings a natural snowy hue to the tree.

In the wild, this is a summer bloom, with its starry sprays of small white or pink flowers making an airy filler in the border, making good companions for coreopsis, cranesbill geraniums and geums. Small types are ideal for rock gardens or tumbling over retaining walls, while the annual and larger perennial gyp-sophilas such as G. paniculata suit borders. Popular cultivars include ‘Bristol Fairy’ and ‘Perfekta’, with double white flowers. Gypsophila needs to be grown in deep, light, preferably alkaline soil that is sharply drained and in full sun.

THREE WAYS TO...

ENSURE YOU BUY THE RIGHT SHRUBS

Make sure the plant is go-ing to end up the right size. Check the dimensions on the label to ensure it will fit into the space you have available when it matures.

Make sure the plant has a good, even shape when you buy it. The flowers may mask the overall shape if it is in bloom when you first purchase it.

Check that the foliage isn't wilting or damaged in any way as this may suggest it has root problems caused by drying out or poor wa-tering regimes.

If you’ve had time over the festive sea-son to leaf through those gardening book gifts, or to visit a public garden and walk off those Christmas excesses, you’ll hopefully be awash with innova-tive ideas on designs to replicate in your own garden in the new year.

If you are redesigning an established garden, you can retain mature features, moving large shrubs and border plants to create an immediate effect. The pro-portion of plants and features to open space in the garden is all-important and the general rule is one-third planting to two-thirds space. You need that space to properly be able to see your garden and all its features.

Yet the garden can consist of many ele-ments. Even a small garden could incor-porate a mixture of different aspects, from lawn and paving to gravel, water and pebbles. If you have a tiny gar-den, think about incorporating vertical planting, using climbers to bring colour and texture upwards, or make your gar-den seem larger with the use of mirrors.

Consider using a few bold focal points to draw the eye across the garden at an angle, which can help to overcome the shortcomings of a really tiny space. Drawing the eye to focal points else-where can also detract attention from an unattractive object or area, rather than attempting to screen it.

If your garden is big enough to incorpo-rate beds and borders, make sure they aren’t too narrow. Too many plants end up cramped between fences and lawn in boring, straight borders which do nothing for the plants or the view. Think about introducing interesting curves to your borders to give them a more fluid feel.

The minimum width for a border should be around 1m (40in) and even with that, you’ll be limited to dwarf shrubs and fairly small perennials. If your design includes three layers of planting in a bed, you’ll need an area of at least 3m squared.

You may think that planting the tallest

plants at the back of the border and graduating until you have the smallest plants at the front is the best way to go, but there are certain plants you can use to break with tradition.

Height in the foreground, as long as it doesn’t block the line of vision, in-creases perspective and can make the garden seem longer. For this you can use wispy grasses such as Stipa gigantea, or perennials that produce light flower spikes such as Digitalis lutea, or see-through specimens such as Verbena bonariensis, which don’t block the view of what’s behind them.Long, narrow gardens can often be im-proved by dividing the area into sever-al smaller sections, using hedges, low walls, raised beds or shrub borders that extend into the garden and pre-vent the eye being taken in a straight line to the end. Each area might in-corporate a different theme, such as scent, water, herbs or flowers.

Of course, before any project can start, consider the type of gardener you are.

Do you want a low-maintenance plot, or one you can endlessly potter in? How much time will you realistically be able to spend each week maintain-ing that space?

Draw up a plan either on a computer or with pencil and (preferably graph or squared) paper, to make an outline of the existing garden and its dimensions. Include existing features you want to keep and potential obstacles such as manhole covers which you’ll need to work around. Mark the direction of the sun, where it falls at particular times of the day and any permanent shad-ow. Then put tracing paper over the original plan and sketch ideas of your own, experimenting with layout and plantings, bearing in mind what the vista will look like from the house, both downstairs and upstairs.

And don’t make it too complicated. Remember clean lines and simple shapes will always work best - in de-sign, less is often more.

A NEW YEAR, A NEW GARDENESSENTIAL GUIDE TO...

BEST OF THE BUNCHGYPSOPHILA

Enjoy a day out with the family at a public gar-den - many National Trust properties and other public gardens are open between Christmas and New Year.

Sow seeds of houseplants, tuberous begonias and slow-germinating greenhouse exotics under glass.

Sharpen tools to give you clean cuts in the New Year.

Reorganise your storage space by putting up tool racks in the shed or garage.

If the weather turns freezing cold, lag sacks and boxes of vegetables with newspaper in the shed or bring them into a cool area indoors.

Continue forcing witloof chicory.

Check that winter outdoor plants, including clipped boxes and bays in pots, don’t dry out.

Sow exhibition onions.

Prune ornamental vines.

Clear debris such as ivy from the bottom of hedges and any other fallen leaves or rubbish which may be harbouring slugs and snails.

MOTORING

Officially unveiled this month , the new Lamborghini Huracan, which will become available in the Spring. The car will reach 60 mph in just 3.2 seconds and go on to a top speed close to 200 mph.

Powered by a 5.2 litre 610 hp V10 engine, Lamborghini says the new model will “redefine the super sports car experience” and will be the brand’s ‘next automotive legend.” The Huracan - named after a famous 19th century Spanish bull features an innovative cockpit with a 12.3 inch full-color instrument panel

delivering all car information to the driver, from rev counter to navigation maps and infotainment functions.

The power of the V10 engine is brought to the road via the new 7-speed dual clutch transmission ‘’Lamborghini Doppia Frizione’’ and fully electronically controlled four-wheel drive system. The different driving modes of the Huracán can be selected via a driving dynamics selector switch in the steering wheel -- from traction-oriented on the road to extreme performance on the race track.

The different modes ensure extensive modification in road behavior of the Huracán. In particular they influence the set-ups of several systems, such as the gearbox and engine behavior, the sound, the four-wheel-drive system and electronic stability control.

The Huracán’s carbon-ceramic brakes are a standard feature while variable steering ratio system and magneto-rheologic suspension damper control are available as options for further customization of the car’s dynamic behavior.

In its most simple definition, a car ‘lessee’ pays a monthly sum to take possession of a contract car for a period of between typically two to four years. At the end of the term the lessee gives the car back to the dealer/owner and takes a new lease or may opt to buy the car at its value at that point. Why does leasing often get a ‘bigger bounce for your buck’? The amount that a lessee pays over the period of a lease is typically equal to the amount that the contract car (ie; the leased car) will depreciate over that period. According to the AA, after 3 years the average car will have lost around 60% of its value. However, some cars (Audi, Mini or BMW) depreciate much less than others (Ford) and therefore, it may actually be close to the same price to lease an Audi as it is a Ford. A rough example that excludes VAT; a £19,000 Ford might have a forecast

ADD VEHICLE CONTRACTS - WHAT IS CAR LEASING?depreciation of 50% over 3 years amounting to c. £9,500. This drives the price of the leasing contract and based on depreciation only, over 36 months the Ford might cost approximately £263 a month. However, for an Audi A4 that has an original value of £29,000 it might only depreciate by 30% across that period and this would mean (based on depreciation only) the monthly price would be £241 per month for a more up market vehicle.

Which Car Finance Option is best - leasing or buying? This is a subjective question. First you must ask yourself:

What benefits will you get for owning the car? This might include: owning the car for as long as you like; driving an unlimited amount of miles.

What benefits will you obtain from leasing a car? This option most often means lower monthly payments)for driving high quality cars (compared

to buying); Smaller deposit/upfront payment – provided you have a good credit record this will typically be 3 months as opposed to 10 or 20% for a loan.

Flexibility – although it will increase your payment you can extend the mileage if you like and you can extend the period (which will decrease your monthly payment) and you can opt to buy the car at the end.

TIP OF THE WEEK

You’re probably telling yourself something like “I should exercise right now. If I don’t work out, I’m never going to get fit.” This statement has many hidden obstacles.

For one thing, feeling like you should do something makes it seem like work, or an obligation. That’s no fun.

You’re also thinking about what will happen if you don’t exercise--in other words, you’re threatening yourself with punishment (the image of being unfit). Subconsciously, you’re flooding your mind with negativity.

Instead, remember that exercise is a choice, and it’s about whether you want to, or not! And instead of thinking about how you’ll look if you don’t work out, think about how great you’d look if you did!

THIS WEEK: 6 GREAT WAYS TO MOTIVATE YOURSELF TO EXERCISE

At this point, everyone is pretty much aware of the huge upside to exercising regularly. The reason that there aren’t more people doing it, is the sheer lack of motivation. There is nothing that pushes them enough to go out there and exercise. Fortunately, there are some very useful ways which you can use to motivate yourself to become a more active individual. Let me elaborate on each one of them a bit more:

CHANGE FROM A “MAYBE”

TO A “MUST”

The first thing you need to do is to categorically include exercise into your lifestyle without any maybe’s or but’s. Exercising should be a must within your daily routine. Within your time management, there should always be time allocated to exercising. I can’t stress enough how important this is.

SURROUND YOURSELF

WITH FITNESS-ORIENTED

PEOPLE.

If you are not exercising, have a look at your close unit of acquaintances. Chances are that most if not all of them are just as non-active as you are. If you want to be successful at not only starting but staying active over time, you definitely need to have friends that share this same goal with you. Having a training partner is one of the best ways to get yourself the proper motivation to keep at it day in and day out.

WANT TO BE BETTER

LOOKING?

With a little patience and a strong will, you can literally reshape your entire body via exercise. Use this desire of seeking to be more attractive to your advantage and turn it into pure motivation to exercise. Sure, there are tons of reasons why people exercise, but I am certain

that 100% do it partly to be more attractive.

THINK LONG TERM HEALTH

BENEFITS

The thing with health, is that we do not “see” it. It’s hidden, and thus in a very visual and superficial society such as our current one, it becomes secondary to looks. Luckily, people are becoming more and more concerned with being healthy and living a better quality of life as they get older. Use this to your advantage as well to motivate yourself to exercise. The list of health benefits that exercising provides you with is just enormous.

WORK TOWARDS A GOAL.

Do you have a reunion to go to in a few months and you want to look your best? Do you have a vacation planned and you want to look fantastic in a bathing suit? Do you idolize a certain person and want to look just

like them? These types of goals are extremely powerful, and can provide unrelenting motivation that can then carry you towards those very goals. The key is to always have such a goal, because you don’t want to go back to your old ways once you have reached that goal. I’m sure you’ve seen people flip flop over and over again with their fitness, and this is due to the fact that once they reach their goal, they do not have another one to aim for. Always have something to work towards, and every time you reach one, create a new one.

SIMPLY START

As hard as it is to get yourself to start, you will be happy to know that things get much better as you keep going. The steepest hill to climb over is to start. Once you start, you have conquered the biggest obstacle. This is something that you should be proud of, in and of itself.

BOURNEMOUTH’S FINEST SPORTING & FITNESS CLUB

20HealthyLifestyle Tips by Mark Daley

Eliminate processed carbohydrates from your diet.This, initially, will appear harder than you first think. Breakfastcereals, pasta, bread, white rice, cakes, are all processedcarbs. If you took a more Palaeolithic approach, eating like ourforefathers, your meals would consist of vegetables, fruit,meat, and dairy, and this approach would boost your immunesystem, reduce your inflammation and risk of inflammatorydiseases, cut out your risk of getting type 2 diabetes and youwould become much leaner.

Use organic filtered coffee before exercise. Coffee has been shown to help you focus and concentrate,it also mobilises fat cells so reduces the use of carbohydrate (glycogen in the muscles) as full and increases the use of fat as fuel.

After your exercise coffee should be avoided. The caffeine in coffee will maintain an elevated stress hormone environment in your body, this will hinder the repair process that the body should now be going through.

Keep a diary. If you plan, you plan to improve. Therefore you should keep a log of your training and ofyour meals each day. This will help you stay focused on your goals.

FOOD & DRINK

HAVE A SOUP-ER NEW YEAROnce upon a time, soup was something that only came from a can and in a handful of flavours.

Comforting, definitely, but not exactly inspiring. There’s also the connotation, be-cause soup was often given to poorly children, that it’s something you consume when you’re ill. To this day, I can’t eat Heinz chicken soup without thinking I’m missing school with a bad cold... Soup has moved on since then, and we’re familiar with all manner of varieties from all over the world. We have the big British broths and coun-try farmhouse types, chunks

of vegetables floating in de-licious liquid. There’s the ro-bust, like French Onion soup, served with islands of toasted baguette and covered in melt-ed cheese, or pea and ham - the rich pea texture cut by the saltiness of the pork.

Soup can be delicate, too, typified by the Japanese miso soup, or perhaps one using vegetables such as courgette, fennel and, perish the thought, nettles, which take on a gor-geous cabbage-like taste when cooked. Soup doesn’t always have to be hot either, proved by gazpacho, the chilled Span-ish vegetable variety.

If you want to save a bit of money, soup’s the perfect lunch to take to work with you. Make it in advance, invest in some plastic containers and freeze in portion-size batch-es. As long as your office has a microwave, you’re going to see the savings in no time, and you’ll have a more satisfying lunch than your colleagues!

Let’s not forget the health benefits either. Soup’s a great way to pack in your five-a-day and, providing you leave out the cream, croutons, but-ter and extra cheese, is very low fat and low-calorie, too.

Winter’s not over yet, so keep the cold at bay with a warming bowl of soup. Not bad for the waistline, either, if you’ve overdone it a bit at Christmas.

Put the chicken thighs in a very large, heavy-based pan and fry for a few mins, turning frequently to lightly colour them. Pour in the wine, turn up the heat and boil rapidly to evaporate the alcohol. Pile in the veg and herbs, add one teaspoon of salt and the white (or black) pepper. Pour in two litres of boiling water. Cover the pan and simmer for 45 minutes until the chicken and veg are tender. Take out the bay leaves and thyme sprigs and cool for about 30 minutes. Remove chicken from the soup, then strip the meat from the bones. Put all but 140g of the chicken back into the pan. Blitz the soup with a hand blender or in batches in a food processor until very smooth, then return to the pan.Blend the flour and cream together with a couple of ladles of the soup, then stir the creamy mixture into the rest of the soup and heat, stirring continuously, until thickened. You can blitz again if it looks a little lumpy. Chop the remaining chicken and stir into the soup. Scatter with thyme leaves to serve.

Ingredients

SERVES 8

Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put the carrots, half the oil, the garlic and thyme in a roasting tin. Season and toss everything together. Pop in the oven and roast for 45 to 50 minutes, or until tender and beginning to turn golden. Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil and butter in a large saucepan. Tip in the onions and cook over a low heat for 10 minutes until soft. When the carrots are done, remove from the oven. Squeeze the soft roasted garlic cloves out of their skins and pop in the saucepan. Tip in the carrots and discard any woody thyme stalks. Pour over the stock, bring to the boil, then simmer for 10 minutes. To make the croutons, wrap the pancetta around the soldiers, leaving the ends of the bread exposed. Put on a baking tray, drizzle with a little oil and grind over some black pepper. Bake for 10 minutes until the pancetta and bread edges are crisp.

While the croutons are cooking, blitz the soup with a hand blender, then sieve into a clean saucepan, pressing to get as much liquid through as possible. Add five tablespoons of the cream, heat through and season. Adjust the thickness with a little water, if you like. Serve drizzled with the remaining cream and the croutons, and garnish the soup with thyme.

South CoastDental Specialists

Specialists in smile creation

For some people, teeth can be gradually lost over years until al tipping point when the person can no longer eat or smile normally. Other people can suffer from a gum infection which erodes the bone that supports the teeth making them loose drift and splay. The teeth may still be present in the mouth biut the looseness makes eating very difficult and the appearance may be unsightly due to the gaps and very long teeth. Both these situations which have caused many teeth to be either lost or about tho fall out can leave people feeling hopeless. Often people realise that they need a bit of treatment to get them smiling, talking and eating normally once again. For some, the idea of having removeable dentures to replace the teeth is unacceptable.

Now, South coast dental specialists are offering a treatment to remove any remaining and put back fixed teeth in just one day, and avoids the need for dentures at any stage of the treatment. If the remaining teeth are hopeless they can be gently removed and four dental implants placed. Dental implants are metal roots that support the replacement teeth on top. A Bridge with 10 teeth on it is then made and fitted to the implants on the same day, so the patient walks out with fixed teeth that look better and eating comfort is regained. Essentially this means that if there are problem teeth in one jaw they are sorted out in one day.

If someone has upper and lower teeth that are beyond repair then both can be fixed in one go. This treatment is also excellent for people with no teeth, especially those who are wearing dentures at the moment, which are loose and moving because there is very little gum and bone support to keep them in. Due to the technique involved this can be cheaper than other fixed implant solutions, and can be carried out in combination with sedation to give extra support to nervous patients.

For people who are embarrassed at the condition of their mouths, be reassured that at the South Coast Dental Specialists team is there to put you back on the right track and help you enjoy the everyday pleasures in life once again.

Consultation and comprehensive examination and planning are first of all carried out to see if you are suitable. We then produce a treatment plan and a no obligation quotation including all the details you need to make an informed decision. We also have payment plans and alternative treatment options to suit all budgets. We hope to see you soon and get you smiling, eating, laughing and kissing with confidence.

4TH FEBBROKEN

Visually thrilling and full of trickery, Motionhouse’s brand new production Broken examines our precarious relationship with the Earth, luring the audience into a world of shifting perspectives.

This powerful company submerges highly athletic dance within intricate digital imagery and original music in an unashamedly visual and adrenaline-fuelled spectacle that contrasts the caves of our ancient ancestors with modern apartments of glass and steel, questioning our ambivalence towards our world – until disaster strikes.

1. Place the onions, hearts and liver in a saucepan, cover with water and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 40 minutes, then drain out the contents and reserve a small amount of the cooking water.

2. Pass the meat and onions through a mincer or chop finely in a food processor. Stir in the oatmeal, suet, sage and spice. Also add a little amount of the cooking liquid and plenty of pepper.

3. Grease an 800ml ovenproof pudding bowl. Place the haggis mixture into the bowl, cover the bowl with greased foil and tie the foil on with string.

4. Place the bowl in a saucepan on a trivet. Fill the pan with boiling water to come half way up the sides of the bowl, cover, and then return to a gentle boil.

5. Steam the haggis for 2 hours, topping up with boiling water as necessary, this prevents the pan and meat from dry boiling.

6. After 2 hours turn the haggis out and slice. Serve the haggis with roasted parsnips and potatoes, both dusted with curry powder.

After Christmas and New Year it’s time for Burns Night, on January 25th. Burns Night is a celebration of the life and poetry of Robert Burns, author of many Scots poems. It is marked with a Burns Supper where guests eat a traditional Scottish meal of haggis, neeps and tatties, drink Scotch whisky and recite Burns poetry. Here are a few traditional elements for your own Burns Supper. Traditional bagpipe music to welcome guests to the table and whilst your guests stand as you bring the haggis to the table. ‘Address to a Haggis‘ is recited and the haggis is cut and a toast is raised to “The Haggis!” with a dram of whisky and at the end the night everyone joins hands to sing ‘Auld Lang Syne‘.

1. 2 Onions, peeled

2. 2 Sheep’s hearts

3. 400g lambs liver

4. 50g oatmeal

5. 75g shredded suet

6. 2 tablespoons of chopped sage

7. 1 pinch mixed spice

SCHOOLS

For the second year, Buckholme Towers School and Nursery is giving children aged six to eight years old the opportunity to apply for a scholarship with the aim of joining the school as a pupil in September 2014. Headmaster Iain Robertson explains:

“We offer scholarships to students who show exceptional academic ability in areas such as maths and English as well as the non-academic fields of art, music, sport and drama. Those awarded scholarships are eligible for up to 50 per cent discount on the current tuition fees.

“On Saturday 8th February at 9.30am we are holding examinations for current Buckholme pupils as well as external candidates in Year’s 2, 3 and 4. Students will be tested in their reading comprehension and spelling ability, English writing, mathematics and verbal and non-verbal reasoning. Children entering the non-academic exams are required to show evidence of their potential such as certificates or to perform in music or drama. Parents will be able to meet senior staff and have a tour of the recently refurbished school.

“For current Buckholme students, a scholarship scheme is a way of recognising their potential above and beyond the already high standards of the school. External candidates will be welcomed into a family environment where traditional values are at the heart of everything we do. We believe wholeheartedly in the advantages of small classes and teaching the children on an individual basis.

“Because assessment is part of the culture at Buckholme, our pupils quickly learn to take it in their stride. Most go on to do public examinations such as the 11 plus, for grammar school at which a large percentage of our students go on to achieve places. This is undoubtedly a success criterion for many of our parents. Pinpointing their strengths early on and celebrating their successes and achievements at every opportunity means that self-esteem and confidence are high.

“Music, sport, drama and art are high on the agenda at Buckholme and with the ‘can do’ culture that exists, most become involved in everything that is on offer. In this way, every child is happy because they have something to celebrate.”

*For more information about the scholarship examination please contact the school via the details on the next page. Scholarship results will be posted out to parents by the Saturday 22nd February.
