<iNtRODuctiON>

Northern Rock were offering borrowers 125% of their homes’ value. i just can’t believe it. i know it’s a little late to be making such a comment but, on reading the sunday Papers this week, the ludicrous fact that this was a catalyst for the economic downturn and housing slowdown really bedded in. it’s amazing that common sense didn’t prevent the firm (and subsequently our economy) from having such a catastrophic hiccup.

The positive thing is that economic forecasters are now predicting that we will see the property market stabilise towards the end of this quarter. With an injection of sense banks now realise that a sensible deposit, rather than none at all, may prevent us (and them) from getting shafted. as lending begins to recover, they are adding much needed oil to the wheels of the property market, this time with the engine in a sensible gear. That’s reassuring to home buyers. With new found sense after a bit of a shock we can start to think about buying, selling and investing again.

If you’ve been waiting to move on, now is the time to take advantage of the great interest rates, particularly if you’re considering a share transfer (see Tara’s comment on page 11)Good luck house hunting over the following pages and remember, tell them you saw it in places.

Computers are taking over, no doubt about it. refering to the Stanley kubrick calender rather than reality we may not be in ‘2001’ yet but home automation devices are moving in that direction.

if you want to be a step ahead of the rest with technology in your home, office or yacht etc, go and have a look at smart Home, who specialise in the provision of truly bespoke, high quality, reliable and easy to use residential integration solutions. their showroom in Halkett Place demonstrates smart Home’s ability to work on living/working/entertainment environments by designing and providing a solution to meet even the most advanced needs. From speakers disguised as pictures to having your own home cinema, smarthome provides superior systems and technology that is easy to use and will have you, guests or clients very impressed.

if you’re at all intersted in gadgets you’ve probably trawled google looking at how to get your home up to speed entertainment wise. Frustrating is’t it? in essence, smart Home specify, design, supply, install and maintain home cinemas, multi-room audio and video entertainment systems, lighting control, data/telephony, security and ‘whole house’ automation systems. so, whether you want to just simply listen to music, watch tv or set a lighting scene with the minimum of

fuss and hassle, the smart Home team can design a system from the beginning, taking into consideration all of these elements and providing you with controls that are simple and fun to use.

smart Home only uses the latest and best technology available. the Prodigy album, ‘invaders Must Die’ was written, recorded and mixed on the Artcoustic spitfire Monitors and spitfire subwoofers available from smart Home. the spitfire Monitors are used in recording studios for their accurate response (+/- 2db 35Hz-40kHz), dynamic performance and compact dimensions. For the Prodigy, spitfire subwoofers were also used to give the system the power needed to recreate the energy of their latest work. the spitfire Monitors and subwoofers are regularly used in dedicated cinema room installations and they translate perfectly to this application.

smart Home also works with some of the best architects and interior designers as well as providing cPD (continued Professional

Development) training within their sector. the team understand that clients want to live in spaces that look amazing as well as sound spectacular. they are particularly skilled in combining their technical expertise with genuine creative flair in order to develop solutions to fully meet both the design and technical briefs. Whether the team are working on private residences, multi-dwelling units, offices, board rooms, yachts, bars, night clubs or luxury hotels, they work closely with you at every stage of the process to ensure that whatever is installed it will fulfill your needs both now and in the future.

the specialist showroom, designed in conjunction with Beaumont Home centre, has a variety of solutions, products and furniture on display. it includes Home Automation systems from manufacturers such as control4, Netstreams and systemline, Lighting control from Lutron and Home theatre solutions from Bose and Artcoustic. there are also some exciting new Digital Audio & video server solutions, iPod integration and control solutions as well as a variety of ‘High end’ Hi-Fi and Loudspeaker systems from Manufacturers such as Bose, Myryad, Denon, Pioneer and the Danish Loudspeaker manufacturer Artcoustic.

To book in for a private consultation call 01534 732549 and ask to speak to the team. Visit www.smarthomejersey.com or, if it’s just to have an informal look around and a quick demonstration, drop by the showroom at 68-72 Halkett Place, St Helier.

I think you want to do this Dave.

As Fortuna Euronics were kind enough to lend us some equipment for the Creative Jersey showcase and also give us a voucher to give away to you, our househunting readers, we thought we should definitely tell you about their excellent Smart Home division. Home Automation; it’s the future.

you can control music, video, security and virtually anything in the home from the comfort of your...erm..iphone. Good huh?

there are four speakers in this picture. that’s right. those poppies pack an Artcoustic audio punch.
