Confused by the HMOregulations? Come alongto Brighton and HoveEstate Agents Association
seminar where our guestspeakers will help you tounderstand the currentregulations relating to HMO’s. Ifyou are a selling agent, knowing ifa property would require a HMOlicence can be a challenge,especially with the constantlychanging regulations. The aim ofthe seminar is to clarify the rules.
The seminar is aimed at localestate agents and letting agents,our guest speakers will help youto understand how you canmaximise business opportunitiesif you understand the rules. Therewill be a Q & A session followingthe presentation.
Brighton and Hove has one ofthe largest private rented sectorsin the South East; the fact that weare a university city and havegreat transport links makes it a
number one destination for adiverse range of households. Thechanging national trends ofbuying versus renting, partlydriven by the economic climate,means that supply and demand inthe private rented sector is alwaysunder pressure. Singlehouseholds, including students,often choose to live in sharedaccommodation for a number ofreasons, not only financial, manyprofessional like the “familyatmosphere” created by a sharedhousehold. Inevitably this putsmore pressure on the supply ofwhat would be family homes inthe rental market. “ The latestannouncement that all Landlordsin Wales will have to be registeredin an effort to raise standardsmakes me think that it is only amatter of time before Brightonand Hove and possibly Englandfollow suit.” comments JulieFrith, President of BHEAA.

The Keep opened onthe Lewes Road asone of the safestplaces in the county
to store historic records. Iwas lucky enough to get atour of its most secure areaswith County ArchivistElizabeth Hughes.
As a user of the LocalHistory Centre in BrightonMuseum, I was certainlydisappointed when it closed.Its replacement though – ajoint venture betweenBrighton & Hove CityCouncil, East Sussex CountyCouncil and the University ofSussex – may be a little outof the way but it is a quiteincredible public resource.
The Keep opened in 2013at a cost of £15 million withAtkins as architects/engineers and Kier ascontractor. It features yellowbrick and white render, andfew windows. Three largestrong rooms, each chilled,where natural light wouldultimately harm cherisheddocuments, contain tenmiles of shelves. Six mileshave been filled already.
The strong rooms containall manners of documentsincluding old deeds, maps,plans and reports. Ofparticular interest to me wasa series of models of theUniversity of Sussexincluding a scale model ofthe Gardner Arts Centre (nowcalled the AttenboroughCentre, I believe). Sortingand restoration roomsnearby show just howinvolved the archivingprocess can be. Freezing anynew item that is suspectedof contamination is just onestep in the process.
One highly secure area is acold store for photographs,negatives, videos, cassettetapes, CDs and all manner ofother items. It was here thatI came across scores ofphotos showing theconstruction of the Marina.No doubt this is the location of the Regency Society’s popular JamesGray Collection of local photographs too.An event on the history of food is taking place on Saturday 26thSeptember. See www.thekeep.info for details. Volunteers are alwayswelcome.

ELEANOR HARRISAN EYE ON i360
We have much tobe optimisticabout. Figurespublished last
week show that Brightonand Hove had recordnumbers of tourists in 2014with 10 million day trippersand 1 million overnightstays.
Tourism contributed £1.1billion to our economy andemployed nearly 22,000people. It is thecornerstone and lifebloodof our economy, vital forthe many hotels, shops andrestaurants that rely onthe tourist trade andsimply would not existwithout those visitors.
Brighton now is themost visited destinationin the South East outsideLondon (overtakingOxford), the most visitedseaside destination in theUK (overtaking Blackpool)and the only UK seasidedestination in the top tendestinations forinternational visitors.Brighton Pier is the onlytop ten UK visitorattraction outside Londonwith 4 million visitors.
Since Dr Richard Russelldeclared the healingbenefits of seawater in1750, Brighton has been atown founded on tourism,cemented by the arrival ofthe Prince Regent in 1783who built the flamboyant Royal Pavilion as his seaside pleasure palace.
The Victorians took tourism to the masses and built the railway, thegrand seafront hotels, the Palace Pier, West Pier and the Chain Pier, theTheatre Royal and Volks Railway.
The piers and Volks were all examples of cutting edge engineeringand bold architecture of their time. When the West Pier opened itdivided opinion amongst local residents, but later became recognisedas the finest pier ever built with Grade I listed status.
Whilst most seaside towns went into terminal decline after theadvent of the package holiday in the 1970s and more recently the lowcost airlines, Brighton has not rested on its laurels, but has continued toreinvent itself.
We have bucked the trend of the declining seaside town bycontinuing to develop new offers to keep the tourists coming: we addedthe Brighton Centre, Churchill Square and the Marina in my lifetime. Wealso created an exciting calendar of events such as the Festival, Fringeand Pride, which all draw in the crowds by the thousands.
The i360 very much follows in this history: like our Victorianforefathers, we are using cutting edge design and engineering to givethe tourists an exciting new reason to keep visiting. We are proudlybuilding the heritage of the future.www.brightoni360.co.ukTwitter: @TheBrightoni360 @Eleanor_Harris Facebook: Brighton-i360, Pinterest: Brightoni360

As part of a series of articlesoffering advice and newsfor local landlords, AhmedKhalil of Khalil Properties
explains how to overcome thepotential problems the studentrental market can pose.
It’s official: student rentsare soaring• A recent report by the NationalUnion of Students has highlightedjust how much student rents arerising• Housing charity Shelter describesthem as “sky-high”• Unipol, a studentaccommodation charity, comparesthe 13% rent rise in the generalmarket with a 25% rise in studentrentsWith student numbers continuingto rise, thanks to the removal ofthe cap on student numbers, thisrocketing rent would seem tomake the student marketespecially attractive for landlords.This is especially so in Brighton,where students account for 14% ofthe population: that’s nearlydouble the UK average.
Will the student marketguarantee you a rentalincome this year?Things are never that simple,however.Student lets are typically forshorter periods than other types ofrentals.

There may be a number ofchanges to those living in theproperty throughout the tenancycreating additional administrativeburden.In addition, there can be rentarrear problems to face. Shelter’s Private Tenant Surveyreveals that 50% of students arestruggling with rent and 40% ofstudent renters have needed toborrow money to meet their rentalpayments in the last year. This is asituation that can easily lead torent arrears.
How you can guaranteeyour student rent ?You can overcome thesedrawbacks and guarantee yourselfa rental income from students.Under my Rent GuaranteeScheme I take all the insecurityout of student lets and deliver allthe benefits. Quite simply I lease your propertyfor a flexible term.

In the first of a regular column, WayneGumbrell from City Wood Floors preparesus for some groundwork in quality flooring
Subfloors areessential to thelongevity of yourwood flooring as
much as the final finish orthe maintenance.
Many problems reportedwith wood flooring result from poor subfloor preparation and could soeasily have been avoided. Although you never see the subfloor under afinished floor covering, they are of vital importance for the overallquality, durability and general aesthetics of all flooring.
Correct subfloor preparation is essential for all wood flooringinstallation. The main conditions you need to check for are anymoisture issues as moisture ingress is one of the most common flooringissues, this is caused when moisture in the wood rises by “relativehumidity” (the moisture content of the surrounding air andenvironment). It is therefore imperative to test for moisture content inall subfloors and even walls prior to installation of final finishes, this willprevent cupping or warping of the floor caused by unsuitable fittingconditions.
The maximum moisture level in the subfloor does depend on themanufacturer’s recommendations as well as the species of wood andthe local climate. For hardwood floors the recommended maximumsubfloor moisture levels is typically between 12-13%, but it is in thefitter’s best interests to check with the manufacturer or company thefloor was purchased from to prevent any unnecessary errors.
If the moisture tests highlight above maximum recommendedmoisture levels, then the subfloor should be allowed more time to dryout before installing any wood flooring, this will help to prevent cracks,buckling, cupping or crowning of the floor.
Moisture content is tested with a hand held metre, these simple andyet vital checks for moisture can save both time and money in the longrun and ensure that the wood floor is installed in correct and suitableconditions.
In summary subfloors should always be checked; at City Wood Floorswe always survey for moisture in both the subfloor and walls as well aschecking the relative humidity etc before agreeing to install. Remembera hardwood floor is only as good as its subfloor.City Wood Floors, Unit A1, Portland Business Park,Portland Road, Hove, East Sussex BN3 5RY01273 426588

DO YOU LIVE IN A ROAD, AVENUE OR CLOSE? THEANSWER CAN AFFECT YOUR HOME’S VALUE
Have you ever wonderedwhat the differencebetween living in a road,avenue, street, lane and
close is?Well, about £100,000 is the
answer, according to a new studyby Barclays Mortgages.
The lender found there is asignificant difference in the valueof properties depending on thefirst line of their address.
And top of the table when itcomes to expensive street namesis the word ‘lane’, which wasrevealed to be the most valuableaddress, with an average houseprice of £245,906.
Lanes were closely followed byways (£218,742), roads (£212,717),closes (£204,374) and avenues(£192,344). Surprisingly, it seemsliving on a street means yourhome could be worth less, withproperties in these areas found tohave an average value of just£142,374, some 29 per cent below
the national average.Across the country, living in a
lane is worth more than £100,000extra in terms of your house pricein comparison with setting uphome in a street. In the south-east, this divide is even greater,
with a home in a lane said to beworth an average of £137,145more than a property in a street.
Commenting on the study,
Leaders’ National Sales Director,Kevin Shaw said: “It’s interestingto see the variation in propertyvalues based on names of roads.However, anyone wanting to knowthe true value of their homeshould take these findings with apinch of salt. Averages can nevergive you a precise picture andeach home has its own uniquevalue based on its exact location,condition and distinctive features.
“It is likely, however, that yourhome has gone up considerably invalue over the last few years,whether you live on a lane, road,avenue, close, street or evensquare or crescent! Demand frombuyers is high across all areas ofthe UK and we are finding thatproperties of all types are sellingquickly for their full asking price.
“The average property inEngland and Wales is now worthin excess of £9,000 more than itwas a year ago, according to thelatest Land Registry figures. So if
Despite fierce competitionfrom other Brightonagents, Cubitt & West’snew Lettings Division has

But so busy hashe been over the last 6 weeks thatan additional member of staff hasalready had to be brought in – inthe person of negotiator EllaRoberts. A Brighton resident, Ellapreviously worked in Lettings inCubitt & West’s Crawley office.
What explains this phenomenalsuccess - from a standing start,and in such a fiercely competitiveenvironment? Says Sam: “Ourbiggest single advantage is the factthat Cubitt & West is the onlyagent with 9 offices covering theentire Brighton area, fromPeacehaven to Southwick.
Altogether, we are registeringsomething like 200 applicantsevery week, which translates intoour being able to rent out everyproperty practically as soon as wetake it on. In fact, we’re soconfident of our ability to matchproperties to tenants, that if wehaven’t successfully let a property

Brighton Bed Centre has soldbeds from their shop inPortland Road for nearly 50years. The Hove based
company has also createdhandmade beds for nearly 30 yearsand can rightly claim to make bedsfit for a king.
The strangest request for a bedcame from a Sheikh of the UnitedArab Emirates, when the team atBrighton Bed Centre foundthemselves making a 60 foot widebed, with 12 king-sized beds,zipped and linked together. TheSheikh was very pleased, andjoined a long line of satisfiedcustomers, from far and wide.
It is very pleasant and interestingto interview Stuart Morris, Directorof the Brighton Bed Centre, becausefirstly, he is genuinely welcoming, sothat you feel like you’re talking to agood friend and secondly, he is
continually approached by happycustomers returning on the phone,in person and online. This gives us agood chance to peek round hisfactory uncovering a whole world ofbeds and bed-making.
Bed-making, in the sense ofmaking every part of a bed! Themattress, covers, base and drawers.We meet a committed team,working in different parts of theworkshop in Portland Road, Hove,specialising in handcrafted qualitybeds. Scandinavian redwood isused for the bases, and coverscreated from the highest qualityfabrics such as Belgian Damask.
Stuart explains “Almost all partsof a bed are made in our studio.The headboards and bedsteadsare the only products bought in.We are a family businessestablished over 48 years ago andwe put a lot of effort into the
FIT FOR A KINGBrighton Bed Centre creates affordable luxury for a quality night’s sleep,Latest Homes meets Stuart Morris & the family behind the business
product itself, and helping peopleto choose the right bed for them”.
Stuart heads up the sales for thebusiness, and he is joined by hisfather Colin, who we met, usingspecialist equipment to makebeautifully embroidered mattressborders. Colin worked in the RAF as ayoung man, and then trained at theHoover College in Mitre House inWestern Road, learning the art ofrepairing hoovers. His mother hassupported the business from the startas the company bookkeeper, whilstStuart’s brother heads up the factory.This is a family where each memberhas spent a lot of time caring aboutproducts and caring aboutcustomers. The company has grownto an expert team of 20. Scientists saythat becoming an expert involves atleast 10,000 hours of practice, and theBrighton Bed Centre team haveclocked up this amount in spades.
Stuart, now 40, helped in thefamily business since childhood, andhas worked in all parts of the factory,so knows more than most bedsalespeople, the best componentsfor a good night’s sleep.
He shows us around the differentdepartments, teaching us the innerworkings of what goes into a bed.We get to feel the differencebetween horsehair, Alpaca Wool,Camel Wool, Lambs Wool, andSuper High Loft Wool. We learn thedifference between support andfirmness, and why it’s important fora bed to support the naturalcurvature of a spine.
The brand name for Brighton BedCentre beds is the aptly namedComfysleep which uses the highestquality, fire-retardant comfortfillings, making it a luxury product.
The surprise is the price. Theshowroom includes beds of all priceranges, starting from £69 for a basicsingle starter mattress to nearly£4,000 discounted to £2699 for amajestic, super-king, pocket sprungdivine bed of nearly 3000 springcounts.
All budgets are catered for, andthe quality is retained through thehandmade process where care andattention is applied to eachindividual bed. There are manyaffordable and mid-range choices,and these beds really need to be lainon to appreciate the craftsmanshipand to find the best match. The topselling types of bed at the BrightonBed Centre are the Exquisite and theKensington which are both goodquality pocket spring beds.
Stuart is proud of the fact thatthe quality of Comfysleep matchestop brands such as Vi-spring andHypnos and the prices are morecompetitive. He can show that“beds do cost less at Brighton BedCentre”, and they offer paymentplans where people can buy ininstalments.

Stuart explains that handmade bedsdo last longer, and can of course beused for many years, although “TheSleep council recommends 7 yearson average, so it is good to reviewyour needs in line with your budget,and change your bed to improveyour sleep”.
Stuart and his team keep abreastof the new technology and sciencein creating beds, and are careful tomatch people perfectly to the rightbed for a good night’s sleep. “It canbe a bit of a minefield for customers.It can also be embarrassing forcustomers to lie down on a bed in ashowroom, but we aim to putpeople at their ease, and encouragepeople to try the bed to ensure theyfeel comfortable. ‘Come and talk tous’ is our motto, as we can helpguide people to something thatworks best for them”.
There are over 100 beds in theshowroom floor, and 600 frames onthe website brighton-beds.co.uk.Beds can be bought direct from the
showroom and delivered the sameday. Alternatively beds are made toorder. Turnaround is fast whetherbeds are bought off the shelf ordesigned specially. Beds are usuallymade within a few days dependenton requirements.
Stuart explains that manycustomers do need a fast delivery.Their core customers include hotels,B&Bs, student lets, and landlords,and they guarantee fast free localdelivery. (Delivery is free within a 25mile radius). To remove an old bedcosts £20 and the company recyclesas much as they can.
