day, adding up to £1.4 billionof cold-related domestic andmotoring disasters.
It’s still anyone’s guess as towhat the weather will do thisyear – old wives tales tales saythe current abundance ofberries points to another hardwinter – but it would befoolish not to learn from theexperiences of 2010.

1. HEATINGBOILERGet your boiler serviced.An emergency call out
to repair a broken boiler cancost up to £600, as well having toput up with the discomfort of a
cold house and freezing water.Avoid these horrors by gettingyour boiler serviced beforewinter kicks in. “Prices forhaving a boiler serviced go up inthe winter, so it’s a good idea toget it done now,” said StephenBoyle, director of STLPlumbing and Heating Ltd.
CENTRAL HEATING“It’s a good idea to get afull central heatingcheck too,” says
Stephen. STL Ltd will do bothfor £50 plus VAT. The engineer will make sure thewhole system is working atmaximum efficiency, includingchecking radiators are workingat the correct pressure, bleedingthem if necessary. For maximumefficiency they can installthermostatic radiator valves,which will adjust levels of heatsupplied to the home accordingto the temperature registered.
The standard setting is 21degrees – but if you turn it downone degree you can save up to£65 per year.

around £250, but pays for itselfin about two years via reducedheating costs. Ditto loftinsulation. Recommended loftinsulation thickness is 27cm,but more than six millionhomes have 7.5cm or less.
WINDOWSAs well as layering upin fur, Russians –inhabitants of the
coldest country on Earth – keepheat locked into their homeswith double layer windows.Even if you have it already, it’sworth checking that the sealinground it is up to scratch beforethe cold snap starts. By fittingthe minimum ‘C’ ratedwindows or installing doubleglazing you could save up to£150 a year.
4. EXTERIORSGUTTERINGClean leaves and debrisout of your guttering
by the end of autumn. Pay
particular attention to the ends,as this is where they canbecome blocked with leavesand cause water to spill over –which can cause a lot of
expensive damage. Watch outfor any icicles hanging fromthe guttering during a coldspell, as these are a giveaway ofwhere they may be blocked orleaking. It’s particularlyimportant to check that guttercoupling – the rubber or siliconsealant between channels – hasnot rotted away. “Leakinggutters can cause penetrativedamp,” explains DavidChristian, director of ThomasChristian Estates Ltd, arepairs, renovations andmaintenance company of 20years standing. “The water comes down the
walls, goes into the ground,then comes back up into thewalls, and that’s when you getmould inside properties. Youcan save yourself a fortune bychecking your gutters are soundand getting sections repairedand replaced as necessary.” Thesame thing can happen ifgutters are blocked.
ROOFIt’s worth rememberingthat insurancecompanies insist that
your home has been properlymaintained before they will payout.
Check roof tiles are allpresent and correct and in goodcondition so they won’t let inwater, as last winter wroughthavoc on many roofs. “If you’vegot a crack in a tile and water
gets in and freezes, it can makethe crack bigger,” explainsDavid, “and then water couldget in. Check ridge tiles aresound too, as these can fly off ingales.” It’s equally important tocheck that there are no gaps orcracks in lead flashing on thewall or on the roof. Flashingprevents water entering atjoints or protruding objects likewindow sills. “Good flashing isvital but over time this canerode,” says David.
5. TREES & FENCESCheck any hazardoustree branches that couldbreak in high winds or
with heavy snow, and get a treesurgeon in if necessary to assessthem and take off branches thathang over property.
In particular look out forcavities near where the branchesmeet the trunk and fungus andcracks which could indicate deadwood, advises Jeff Anderson, atree surgeon for 13 years, whoruns Merseyside-wide AndersonsTree Surgery and GardenMaintenance Services.
“Dead wood causes weak spotsand it means an affected branchcould rip off in high winds orwith heavy snow on top,” heexplains. “Weak spots can worsenif water freezes in the cavitybecause ice causes it to expand.”Now is a good time to spot deadparts in trees as the gaps in foliageare still obvious without foliage.
“Of course it depends on theage, size and position of the treeas to if it would pose a hazard,but if you are unsure, it’s worthgetting a tree surgeon in to lookat it.”

HolidayHome Abroad? -Save some tax
Advice fromchartered accountants0151 228 8977
Registered number 101330
Q: I have been renovating a house in Spain for my own family to use but alsowant to let out through an agency. How will this work for tax purposes?
A: There are basically two main tax treatments, either the property willbe treated under the buy-to-let rules or much more beneficially underthe Furnished Holiday Lettings (FHL) rules. In both cases there will be anadjustment to take account of your personal use of the property.The tax treatment of Furnished Holiday Lettings (FHL) has beenadvantageous for many years. Up until a few years ago, this onlyapplied to UK properties, but legislation has now been brought in toextend this to properties in the European Economic Area (EEA) whichincludes Spain.
Provided that certain conditions are met, FHL’s are treated as a trade. Thiscan be preferable to the tax regime for normal buy-to-let property in anumber of specific areas, as the rules and reliefs for trades are more generous.
Q: What are the conditions which apply for the property to qualify as a FHL?
A: There are new strict conditions, based on the potential and actualletting of the property.
The property must be:
• Available for letting for at least 210 days a year and• Actually let for at least 105 days.
There are also rules which prevent long term occupation by onecustomer/tenant from qualifying.
These criteria are a lot stricter than previously and to take account ofthis a ‘period of grace’ has been established, which means if the rulesare met in one particular year, you can elect, even if the conditions arenot met for the next two years to quality.
Q: And what exactly are the benefits?
A: From next April the main benefits are the beneficial Capital Gains Taxtreatment on ultimate disposal and, during the letting period the abilityto offset a much broader range of capital allowances against theincome you receive. Capital allowances are types of tax write off whichapply to, for example:
• Heating and air conditioning equipment• Swimming pools• Kitchens and sanitary ware• Furniture, furnishings and bed-linen etc.
When renovating your house, your expenditure on these type of itemsmay have been quite substantial.To support your claim you should ensure you keep good records oflettings and of expenses. As always good tax advice will be essential.

Although we live on the Isleof Man, which has a quieterway of life, we found that wewere visiting Liverpool eightor nine times a year. We’dalways stayed in the Hilton andloved this part of the city.
CALL NOW For more information about One Park West visit oneparkwest.co.uk or call Kingston Shaw Residentialon 0151 232 3333.
For a weekend home wewanted to be in the thick ofthings and have everythingon our doorstep. At firstfinding something suitable forus was a bit of a hassle - wemust have seen at least 10 otherproperties but nothing wasquite right. As soon as wevisited the apartment in OnePark West we knew it was theone for us. It’s in such a goodlocation and beautifullyfurnished - we said we’d take iton the spot.
The apartment was one of One Park West’s show apartments and it’ssimply stunning. We love how all the rooms have such a distinct,contemporary style but at the same time naturally flow into one another sothe apartment feels even more spacious.
We couldn’t have asked for a better view. The windows inthe living area stretch right across the room so we havepanoramic views of the city skyline and the waterfront.
Most of the furniture andsoft furnishings are fromJohn Lewis but there’s justnothing we want to add - itall just fits togetherperfectly. We can’t wait untilwe can spend more time here;it’s the ideal city get-awaywith Liverpool ONE and theAlbert Dock a stone’s throwaway. It definitely takes awaythe stress of city-centre living.
The secondbedroom is soquirky. The silveranimal printwallpaper mixed withthe apple greencushions and trinketsis something wewould never think todo but it just works.The whole apartmentis stylish.
Deana and Alex Burnett, from the Isle of Man,recently bought a two-bedroom apartment in OnePark West as a crash pad for weekends away.Two-bedroom apartments in One Park West startat £165,000.

The Queen Elizabeth liner berthed at the Liverpool docks drew in the crowds to thewaterfront, celebrating the start of the Mersey River Festival with fireworks. The
successor of the QE II is as elegant as her namesake, transporting passengers to an era ofthe British Empire and Art Deco complete with croquet and bowls lawn and a traditional
English pub. At her helm is Captain Christopher Wells. Your Move was invited onboard tofind out what it’s like to helm what is arguably the most famous ship in the world.
This is Queen Elizabeth’s maiden roundBritain voyage. How long have you beenat the helm of the ship? I brought her outfrom the shipyard and round toSouthampton where she was named andI’ve been on her ever since. It’s a thrill totake the ship anywhere, it’s a special thrillto bring her into a city with such a longhistory with the company, and the citywhere Samuel Cunard started the business170 years ago. How does the Queen Elizabeth compareto her predecessor QE II? We believe theQueen Elizabeth is a worthy successor tothe QE II and we’re very proud that shebears the same style; the Art Deco style is atribute to the first Queen Elizabeth and wehave lots of memorabilia from the QE II,such as the original bell. The Cunard shipslook different from other ships with thedark hull, colour scheme and the redfunnel but what really makes us
different is the style and heritage that webring with us. The ships are very beautifulinside with lots of space. We don’t like tocrowd people in. How did you find bringing the ship intoLiverpool? The Mersey is not aparticularly easy river because it’s quiteshallow and completely open to thewesterly winds and storm force winds at theentrance, and then within the river itselfthere are currents. The river runs up tospeeds of seven knots, which can be quite achallenge. It was very windy outside todaywith gale force winds but once we came outof Birkenhead we had a little bit of shelter.This is the first time I’ve brought a linerinto Liverpool as a captain. However, I wason the QE II when she came in ’94/96before Liverpool had refurbished the berth.We anchored in the stream and ferried ourguests backwards and forwards using theLiverpool ferries. Queen Elizabeth II was amuch more challenging ship and she didn’thave any of the modern facilities orthrusters this ship has. She was of aprevious generation, but an extremely wellloved liner and we were extremelyproud of her.
We’re equally proud to bring this ship asher successor around the UK.Tell us a little about your background.I started an apprenticeship as a cadet withShell; I was 16 years old. I’m a new boywith Cunard as I’ve only been here for 20years. I’m a cargo ship man really. I metmy wife on the QE II and we’ve beenhappily married for 14 years now. It’s adifferent way of life to working at home, 9to 5, you have to balance being away fromhome for a period of time then being athome for a period of time. I will go off forthree or four months on my ship then I’mhome for two months.What is the most interesting harbouryou’ve sailed into? When I started withShell I worked in the Far East so I still liketo go to the Far East, and down to Australiaand New Zealand. Sidney is the mostexciting harbour to go into because it justopens up in front of you - it’s the drama ofcoming into the harbour. There’s not manyplaces in the world like that.

tribute to the two previous QueenElizabeths: the original Queen Elizabethand the QE2. It also evokes the era of the
1930s, in which Cunard's first QueenElizabeth was launched, with many art
deco interior touches. Her design isbased on that of the Holland America
Line "Signature" class cruise ships suchas Eurodam and Nieuw Amsterdam.
These in turn are a development of the"Vista" class cruise ship design.

I live in a furnished apartment in thecity centre, with a compact roomwhich I use as a study as I work fromhome a lot. The room has a whitedesk and chair, and I would like toinvest in a desk lamp that would adda design element to the space andencourage me to go in there to work.Have you seen any great products onthe market that I could invest in?

My partner and I have spent the summer modernising aterrace property, which we’re hopefully going to moveinto in a couple of weeks. The house has fantastic periodwooden floors and the staircase is beautiful. We havelovingly restored the floors and staircase, and do notwant to cover all our hard work with carpets. We havedecided to have rugs in the hallway and a stair carpetrunner - however, we can’t find a stair runner in acontemporary design. Can you help?
I think the flooring company Alternative Flooring, would be a good place tostart. The company prides itself on producing original and innovative designs. Their newcollection Quirky is an on-trend range packed with colour and pattern, oversized dots andanimal prints. My favourite within the collection is a carpet called Skinny Black, a zebraprint design, which works well as a stair runner.

We are turning the fourth bedroom, which is very small and never really used, into a dressing room. Ihave always dreamed about having a dressing room but I don’t want to make any costly mistakes. Couldyou please give me some pointers on how to create the kind of room that you see in interior magazines?
Planning is everything when it comes to creating the perfect dressing room. Think about how you wantstore your clothes, shoes and accessories. How much hanging space do you need? What kind of drawerspace? How many shoes do you have? The perfect dressing room has no clutter - that has to be tip numbertwo. When you have planned your specification I would recommend having a plan drawn, a good joinerwill do this for you, or most fitted furniture companies will offer a bespoke design service free of charge.
Think about how you are going to join the two rooms: where are you going to create the doorway?Do you want your bedroom and dressing room to be open plan? Do you want to make a feature from adoorway?
A full height doorway is a design feature you may not be able to have anywhere else in your home,but to include it in your design at this stage would create a design feature that not only adds impact
but also the illusion of an increase of height and space. Lighting is also very important; down lighters will give
you great overall lighting whilst a chandelier adds instantglamour.
Your final design decisions come to the finishes youwish to use. If you want the room to work with theadjoining bedroom, use similar colours and finishes inboth, carrying any textural elements into both rooms.Leather handles can be used, for example on both thebedside table and the wardrobe door.

rom supporting thelocal football teamto offering a freelegal clinic PaulCrowley & Co
Solicitors is at the heart of theAnfield and Liverpoolcommunity. The firm’s recentexpansion to the former HSBCbank on Breck Road has led tothe firm doubling its turnover in18 months.
Paul and I meet at restaurantPuschka, Rodney Street, nowopen for lunch - a welcomemove as the hidden gem, withits first-class food and service, isalways busy at evenings. Therestaurant, with its solidreputation, is the perfect hauntfor the press-shy Paul whowould rather be in courtfighting for the little man thanbe interviewed. However, I’vetempted him to Puschka, whichhappens to be a favourite of his.“There’s not many restaurants Iwould recommend but this isone of the best ones. The food isabsolutely delicious,” he sayswhilst we peruse a menu of lip-smacking lunches.
Paul set up the firm 20 yearsago on Breck Road, Anfield.Through the years, the businesshas grown impressively,currently employing 75 peopleand maturing into a respectedname not just in Liverpool but
nationwide. The name hasbecome synonymous withpersonal injury, taking on caseswhich bigger firms have rejectedand winning big compensationfor their clients; however, theyare a full-service law firm.
“We do a lot of personalinjury work but we aim toprovide a service for everythingthe average man on the streetwants; if you have a drivingoffence, want to buy a house, orwant to make your will we cangive you the whole package.”
Having taken a little time inchoosing our delectablelunch, I order the RoastLemon and ThymeChicken PanzanellaSalad and Paulorders the SmokedSalmon, AtlanticPrawn, PinkGrapefruit andAvocado Salad.Delicious andrefreshing dishes,almost familiar in theirarrangement but with theinnovative twist Puschka hasbecome known for.
With all three of its offices inAnfield, two on Breck Road andone on County Road, the firm’scommunity links are importantto Paul and the five partnerswho all hail from the area. “Mymum and dad were working
class; I think I can say withoutexception we’re working classand you never forget yourbackground,” he says. “We liketo think we’re friendly,competitive and because we’relocal we can empathise with theproblems people have. Wesponsor a number of localfootball teams, and we supportthe local primary school,Whitefields. This year webought all the children Eastereggs. It’s nice to be able to offersomething back to the
community.”The solicitorsrecently
launched afree legalclinic, openfortnightlyfrom 6-9pm onTuesday at
the CountyRoad office.
People will beable to drop in to
get free legal adviceon a range of issues.
The next few years will seemany changes to the legalprofession so Paul’s immediateconcern is to steer the firmthrough new legislation.
“Our plan for the future is toconsolidate; there are so manychanges in law on the horizon.
There are alternative officestructures coming in andpersonal injury changes; highstreet practices are really underthreat, and we do wonder wherewe will be in five years timebecause of the new ‘Tesco Law’.”
Tesco Law, as it’s beendubbed, will see high streetshops and supermarkets sellinglegal services - a change cominginto effect in the next fewmonths. Paul is hoping the bestfor the future though: “We liketo think we’re a niche. We’refriendly and we like to offerwhat bigger firms couldn’t.”
Ending on a note ofoptimism, the fabulous waitress- credit where it’s due - bringsus neatly boxed up cakes to takehome to try as we’re too full tocontinue eating in the elegantlittle restaurant. Puschka is, asalways, attentive to the littledetails, whether with food, decoror service. Now, we’ll just haveto wait until they do breakfast.
F
“There’s not manyrestaurants I would
recommend butthis is one of the
best ones. The foodis absolutelydelicious”

World kickboxing championBrendan Mitty has opened amartial arts studio in Maghullto help people of all agesand sizes enjoy the benefitsof the sport.
“Kickboxing is great for your wholebody,” he says. “It improvesstrength, flexibility, core stability,cardio fitness, and it boosts yourconfidence. It never gets boring asyou’re always improving yourcontrol and skill.”
Paradigm Martial Arts andFitness Centre on Sefton IndustrialEstate, which also boasts a juice barand classes in Pilates, Zumba and
spinning, was created as a reactionto the proliferation of ‘click’ gyms;instructor free zones where peoplelet themselves in with a code.

The thing about Liverpool isWe have our own Scouse speak, Scouse food,Scouse humour, loyalty and friendship, whichare all unbeatable. We also make the bestchips in the universe!
My favourite restaurantThe Hope Street Hotel on Hope Street, whichfunnily enough is the street where I gave up mychance to study fine art at Liverpool College ofArt and formed the band Marseille instead. Ialways enjoy staying there - it’s a very stylishboutique hotel with a lovely restaurant and bar.
My favourite musicanMott The Hoople. I had the pleasure ofmeeting Ian Hunter in my early teens whenhe was playing at the old Liverpool Stadiumand he told me: ‘follow your dream to theend’. That helped me realise my ambition ofgetting a recordingcontract and going ontour to the USA in thelate 70s and early 80s.
My favouritebookI’ve got this amazingcoffee table book aboutButlins in its heyday, inthe 50s, 60s and 70s. It’s fascinating and a realeye opener into a Britain that’s all butdisappeared.
My favourite foodMy mum’s of course, very English andtraditional. Christmas dinner and curries aretop of the list.
My favourite filmWhite Christmas, which positively oozesnostalgia, and James Cagney in the 1942Yankee Doodle Dandy. It is great to seeCagney singing and dancing, when we wereall more familiar with his gangster characters.
Former musician Neil Buchanan, 49, is the creator and presenter ofBAFTA-winning children’s art show, Art Attack. This month, showing heis very much alive - rumours of his demise on the internet provedextremely premature - he has launched his first limited edition artcollection, entitled Hope Street. It is based on the Aintree-born artist’smemories of growing up in Liverpool.

My favourite TV programme Well of course I’m going to say Art Attack! Ispent 17 years of my life dreaming up andcreating all those papier maché models, anddrawing and painting and heading outside tomake the ‘Big Art’ creations, which alwaysseemed to be everyone’s favourite. Frasier,Sergeant Bilko and Laurel and Hardy are allfavourites too. I’m a sucker for nostalgia.
My favourite holidaydestinationBarbados - the quiet end of the island. And anawesome desert oasis just outside Dubai.
My favourite way to relaxPlaying my guitar and painting – which isgreat because I’ve been doing both 24/7 overthe pastyear.
