Crabtree Property Management 10 6 Seddons Solicitors

On a cold Monday night in January Crabtree Property and Seddons kicked off a charity encounter that marked an end to over two years of non-competitive football for the Finchley based firm. The proceeds of sponsorship for the match would go towards victims of Hiati earthquake appeal with players from both sides also making donations.

After a late kick off it was Seddons who came out guns blazing. A couple of stray passes from the home side allowed the Seddons to penetrate the backline, with Mark Standing hammering home the second of two early goals for the visitors. Crabtree stuck at it however and began to step up their game accordingly.

In the period that followed Joe Mallon pulled back a goal for Crabtree after some good interplay from John Osborn and George Georgiou led to a scrappy goal-mouth scramble with Mallon nutmegging the oncoming keeper. Substitute Bobby Shah levelled for the home side soon afterwards with an audacious lunge in the penalty area. More goals from Nadeem Ghous-Chaudary and Joe Mallon followed before Seddons pulled it back to 4-3.

The game was won at this stage with Luke Cunningham and Andy Soteriou suring up the Crabtree defence and picking out passes for playmaker George Georgiou and warrior John Osborn to feed attack after attack. Cunningham continued to organise the defensive ranks throughout the tie with iron grit. Throughout the game Goalkeeper Rob Robertson had complete command of his penalty area, bravely going to ground on a number of occasions and pulling off a string of impressive saves.

Mike Babb was on form for Crabtree, scoring a hat-trick overall, the pick of the bunch coming in the latter stages of the first half. More excellent interplay from Cunningham and Georgiou allowed Babb to finish with a trademark top corner emphatic finish from just outside the box. Crabtree finished the first half in form and in control of the game, leading by seven goals to three.

In the second half Seddons tightened up their defences and made things more difficult for the home side. Mark Standing was a handful and broke the backline to score twice more while Daniel Robins worked tirelessly for the visitors.

It was to be Crabtrees night however with Nadeem (The Flaming Goose) Ghous-Chaudary completing his hat-trick and Bobby Shah finding the net again for a double. A late consolation for the visitors was testament to their fighting spirit and all ended on positive note with good sportsmanship all round.

Crabtree Team: Rob Robertson, Andy Soteriou, George Georgiou, Luke Cunningham, Bobby Shah, Mike Babb, Nadeem Ghous-Chaudary, Joe Mallon, John Osborn

Man of The Match: Luke Cunningham

Steps To Size, Design & Install Glass Block Showers

Understanding how to develop the right size shower base and shower walls with glass blocks does not need to be some mysterious process. If youll follow the steps in this article youll have an easy to clean, structurally sound, and unique shower you can enjoy in your home or commercial property for years to come.

Step 1) What type of glass block shower do you want?

There are basically two types of showers you can use – a shower without a door, and a shower with a door. Heres an overview of where to use both:

A)Showers without a door (walk in and roll in showers) Door-less showers have become hot in bathroom design over the last 5 years. The two most popular types of these showers are walk in and roll in showers. The biggest advantage of walk in showers is you can eliminate the cost of the shower door and having to bend over to clean around the doors framing system. The roll in shower also does not have a door, but also eliminates the curb around the base that someone has to step over to get into the shower. This makes the shower much more accessible to those with special needs. The roll in shower base is gradually sloped in towards the drain. The biggest disadvantages of the doorless showers is their bases (or platforms) need to be sized larger.

B)Showers with a door (neo angle or corner showers) Most showers have doors to prevent water from splashing out. A popular type of shower enclosure is a neo angle variety that is placed in the corner of a bathroom to conserve space. The advantage of a shower enclosure system with a door is that it can fit into tighter spaces (these showers can be as small as 32 or 36).

Step 2) What type of glass block shower base do you want? How do you size this base and design it out at your project site?

There are two generic types of shower bases available for block (1) the preformed base and (2) the custom concrete base.

The preformed base is created and sized before it is brought to the job site and can be made out of acrylic, cultured marble, or other solid surface materials. It is generally thought to cost less than a custom base, which is often true, but not always. The biggest advantage of these types of systems is they are built as one solid unit to minimize the concern about water leakage through the base. The biggest disadvantage is their size cannot be adjusted at the job site. Pittsburgh Corning makes an acrylic right or left hand entry walk in glass block shower base measuring 72 x 51, a Neo Angle shower measuring 51 x 51, a Square corner shower measuring 48 x 48 and even an acrylic shower base 60 x 32 that can be used to convert a small existing tub space into a new contemporary shower!

The custom concrete or mud set pan base is sized at the new home, remodeling, or commercial building site. Since glass block cannot be cut like tile, youll need to use layout cards that correspond to the size of the block units to make sure the custom base youll make will match up with the specific block sizes for your design. Most of the layout cards are approximately 4 wide (3 7/8 is the exact size) to accommodate for the most common thickness of block used for showers. The other base thickness is 3 1/8 wide, although design options with this thickness series are more limited.

Step 3) Choosing the right sizes, shapes, and colors to make your glass block shower cool and unique.

There are a wide selection of block sizes, patterns, shapes, colors and even artistically designed murals available for your shower. Heres a brief overview of your options:

oSizes and thicknesses of glass blocks for showers Glass masonry units are made is both metric and American sizes. Most of the blocks available in the United States are American sized. The American sized blocks are available in 4 x 8, 6 x 6, 6 x 8, 8 x 8, and 12 x 12. Specialty shapes can help you turn corners, make 45 degree neo angle showers, create rounded or radius walls if youre looking to make a walk in or roll in shower, or finish off the end of the shower wall with a smooth bullnose look. The blocks have nominal sizes meaning the actual size of the block units is smaller allowing for a mortar joint to adhere the block to one another (an 8 x 8 block actually measures 7 x 7 ). The blocks for showers are 3 and 4 thick. Thinner block (3 1/8) are more cost effective, but shower design options are much more limited in this thickness of block.

oPatterns, designs and colored glass blocks Blocks come in a multitude of patterns providing different levels of privacy, style, and design options. The block are now available in standard and custom colors, tints, and artistically decorated murals to match any interior design style. Check out a comprehensive block web site to see the possibilities.

Step 4) How tall should you make your glass block shower? What do you need to do to make it structurally sound? Most block showers are built on a curb (with the exception of the roll in shower) which is 4 to 5 in height. Since many shower heads are placed 84 above the finished floor consider building your glass block wall 80 tall (this will make the size of your glass block wall + the size of your base equal to the height of your shower head). To make the glass shower walls structurally sound they should be tied into side walls with anchors every third coursing of block (usually this is every 24).

Step 5) Dont worry about any of the first 4 steps and call a glass block shower supplier and installation professional If you really dont want to figure out what size, shape, and shower base is best call a block specialty company who offers design, supply and installation services. This type of company will usually come to your home or business (without a charge), measure your shower space, figure out the possible types of bases and showers for you, and install it with a guarantee.

Commercial Property – A Very Profitable Investment Option

Saving for the rainy day is a basic human instinct. Generally, people try to inculcate the habit of saving in their children right through their growing years. Thus, by the time the kids start earning, they are inclined towards putting aside a part of their earnings for future use. Today, as people have become more literate and aware, they have realized that saving merely in the form of money in the bank is not enough. The growing economy offers a number of investment avenues through which their money can multiply at an amazing rate. One of these is investing in property. In fact, real estate investment is considered one of the safest investments in the world! Usually, when people talk about buying property, they mean purchasing a house, villa or condo, etc. that they can live in or rent out. However, those who are seriously interested in making their assets grow by investing in real estate do not limit themselves to residential properties and put their money in commercial real estate as well. Commercial properties are the places or buildings that are meant to be used as workplaces. These can be a factory, shop, office, hotel/restaurant, business center, etc. Depending on your budget, you may buy an entire commercial building or just a single unit in it. Investing in commercial property offers several advantages. The chief among them are – * High income – Commercial properties may come at higher prices than residential units, but their rental values too tend to be significantly higher. The appreciation in the rents also happens at a better rate. Most commercial properties can be used by any sector of the economy. Therefore, down slide in a particular sector does not cause any loss to the owner. * Long-term tenancy – Commercial places tend to be leased out for a longer time period than the residential properties. Businesses benefit by offering a stable and established location to its employees and customers/clients. Relocating too frequently is detrimental to their image and also causes considerable expenses. Thus, the owner of a commercial property is assured of long-term tenancy and regular income. * Least maintenance headaches – As compared to individuals or families renting your residential property, businesses occupying your commercial space make fewer maintenance demands on you. Once you modify the place as per their requirements, you will not have hassle to keep the tenant satisfied. * Excellent capital appreciation – Over the years, real estate has proven to be a more secure, stable and profitable investment avenue as compared to other options like the stock market. Commercial real estate particularly has shown tremendous appreciation in capital value. Thus commercial property is something that would appeal to intelligent investors who are interested in a good, long-lasting income-producing asset.

Jury Awards Large Commission in Commercial Property Dispute

One of the largest jury verdicts awarding a brokerage commission in Arizona history was recently awarded from a commercial property dispute. A Scottsdale real estate agent was awarded a commission of $420,000 against a brokerage firm who had listed a large office building in north Scottsdale in this.

The facts are as follows:ws:

A brokerage firm named Cavan Commercial LLC (“Cavan Commercial”) had a 6% listing agreement on a large office building in north Scottsdale. Cavan Commercial and a real estate agent named Chris Wyatt entered into a 3% co-brokerage agreement if Chris Wyatt’s client Buyer A purchased the office building. Four days later Buyer A signed a purchase contract to purchase the office building for $14,000,000. The $100,000 earnest money was paid 1/3 ($33,000) each by Buyer A and his two investor partners who Chris Wyatt had introduced to the designated broker of Cavan Commercial at a meeting three months earlier in Cavan Commercial’s offices.

A few days after the Purchase Contract had been signed by Buyer A, Buyer A and his two investor partners formed a limited liability company (“LLC”), and assigned the purchase contract from Buyer A to this LLC. Buyer A and his two partners subsequently got in a dispute, and Buyer A agreed to transfer his membership interest in the LLC to his two investor partners.

For Section 1031 tax purposes, at the time of closing the LLC assigned the purchase contract to the two investor partners as individuals. The transaction closed. Immediately after the transaction closed, the two investor partners transferred the title to the office building back to the LLC.

Although the escrow commission instructions at closing prepared by the title company provided for a 3% commission to Chris Wyatt, this provision for Chris Wyatt’s 3% commission was crossed out by Cavan Commercial, who revised the escrow commission instructions to provide for the entire 6% commission ($840,000) to be paid to Cavan Commercial.

When Chris Wyatt complained and requested his 3% commission, the designated broker for Cavan Commercial said -Sue me.- Chris Wyatt did. Almost four years to the day after Chris Wyatt had introduced Buyer A and his two investor partners to the designated broker of Cavan Commercial, the commission dispute was tried before a jury in Maricopa County Superior Court. After a three-day jury trial, the jury deliberated less than one hour and awarded the entire 3% commission of $420,000 to Chris Wyatt. (Wyatt v. Cavan Commercial, LLC; CV2006-01270; Jury verdict November 14, 2008.)

Chris Wyatt was represented at the jury trial by John Skiba, with assistance from Chris Combs and litigation paralegal Lisa O’Brien. Don Martin, a former president of the Arizona Association of REALTORS, testified as an expert witness on behalf of Chris Wyatt. Cavan Commercial (renamed Logan Commercial LLC prior to the setting of the trial date) was represented by two lawyers from a national law firm.

Note: During the questioning of prospective jurors before the trial began, one of the prospective jurors was a real estate agent, and in response to questioning from Cavan Commercial’s lawyer, the real estate agent said that she did not know if she could be fair because she was tired of seeing real estate agents being “cheated” out of their commissions. Although she was honest, she was immediately excused as a juror!

Combs Law Group was organized as and continues to be a highly specialized, boutique real estate law firm. Christopher A. Combs is a State Bar of Arizona board certified real estate specialist and the founder of CLG. For more information please contact us at info(at)combslawgroup.com or by calling 602-957-9810.

Eddie Gamarra — Literary Manager

How long have you been agent and how did you get your start Eddie?

I am a literary manager/producer. I will have been at my current company for 5 years in June 2009. I first worked for Nickelodeon Home Video as the Executive Assistant and then became a Legal Assistant for Viacom Litigation back in the mid-90s while I was getting my MA in Cinema Studies from NYUs Tisch School for the Arts. I left the Biz and went to Emory and did a PhD in psychoanalysis and film from the Graduate Institute of Liberal Arts. I stayed on as a Visiting Assistant Professor but then missed the Biz so much I headed west with no job in 2003. I landed an assistant gig at Alloy (Gossip Girl, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants) but moved to The Gotham Group in 2004.

What makes your agency different than any others?

The company was founded over 15 years ago and specialized in repping folks who worked in TV animation. Nowadays we cover writers, directors, authors, artists, publishers and animation studio who in all genres, all demographics and all media. Our company is known for repping an enormous library of underlying material. We also produce films, TV series, DVDs and online content.

What are you looking for specifically that you wish you would see more of?

Laugh out loud comedy scripts. They are the hardest thing to find.

Eddie what are you tired of receiving?
Books about girls and their first kiss.

How can a new writer get your attention in a good way?
Their writing should pop. It should be well-written and clean. I was a professor so it always kills me when I read poorly written and sloppy work. It should be commercial but fresh.

How can a signed writer stay in your radar without driving you insane?
Not sure what you mean by a signed writer.

What do you wish more writers understood about you as an agent Eddie that they don’t seem to?
As a manager, I wish more writers understood the fiscal and legal machinations of the industry. I wish they understood that we read tens of thousands of pages a year and that current clients/deals always have to take priority, so the review & response process can be terribly slow. Writers should also research thoroughly the nature of the company to which they are reaching out. Dont pitch a horror to a company that does comedy.

What’s the best way for a writer to reach you?
By referral. Cold calls and submissions get dumped immediately. There are valid legal reasons for this. We work in the field of intellectual property and writers should never just send out their ideas willy nilly. We need an exec, an agent, a lawyer or a current client to refer folks to us.

Advantages And Disadvantages Of Steel Windows

It doesnt matter if its a residential or commercial building, steel windows can prove to be a good option. Just like pretty much any product, steel windows have many advantages, but also have their own disadvantages when compared to some other windows. We will use the remainder of this post to explain some of the reasons why you may want to choose steel windows over the other options available.

Let’s first talk about the brighter side of picture, the great undeniable and incomparable qualities of steel windows:

The strength of steel is great for making windows. This incredible strength makes steel windows capable of holding larger size of glass panels much easily. Steel is very durable and will last for years and years, a lot longer than the alternatives available, however they may need replacing eventually as the surrounds and the glass in the window are not as durable as the frames themselves! You can buy steel windows very narrow sight lines. There are plenty of different designs available. You can find any type of modern or antique designs of steel windows according to the architectural design of your house or building. They create a beautiful feature on pretty much any property they are installed on. The windows can be painted in any colour to match with painted surrounds which are usually popular in shop windows and also in many commercial properties. Steel windows are good at fire rating. Steel windows are weather resistant. Steel requires less maintanence than some of the alternatives which you could use.

Now let’s come to some cons of steel windows which are obviously very few and less important as compared to the benefits of using this material for replacement windows:

Sometimes it is thought that steel windows give a commercial look to your house, which is mostly not true, as there are enormous beautiful steel window designs for houses that can add a lot to the beauty and appeal to any house. Steel windows are heavier than any other material windows. Steel windows are rather costly in making and installation as compared to other materials. When you look at the alternatives, steel windows can be slightly more difficult to install. Some alternatives are more energy efficient than steel windows.

I hope, knowing about some pros and cons of steel windows will help you selecting material for your house or commercial building windows.

Ras Al Khaimah- One Jurisdiction.a Number Of Benefits

The Ras al Khaimah International Company is one of the most confidential, secure, and flexible offshore solutions available today. Apart from its integral features, it draws enormous credibility and prestige from the broader socio economic context of the UAE as a global financial centre. Born out of a multi-award winning Free Trade Zone (operating within a world class regional business hub), the RAK IC enjoys a strong commercial authenticity, untarnished by the tax haven status attributed to so many jurisdictions.

Ras Al Khaimah is one of the seven emirates forming the UAE federation. Since 2003 it has pursued a highly successful policy of industrialisation and economic diversification in various sectors. A key engine driving the Emirates economic growth and development has been its Free Trade Zone. Established in 2000, Ras Al Khaimah Free Trade Zone (RAK FTZ) remains one of the fastest growing and most successful free trade zones in the UAE. It is also home to the RAK International Business Registry and the RAK International Company.

In September 2006, the RAK Government launched an international business registry (the second offshore facility in the UAE), regulated by the RAK Free Trade Zone Authority – enabling foreigners to register international companies in the RAK Free Trade Zone without the need to establish a physical presence and with nominal equity investment (no minimum capital requirement).
This International Company model was based on a set of rules and regulations designed to offer one of the most attractive and flexible offshore tax and legal regimes in the world.

RAK ICs enjoy absolute confidentiality in every respect. There is no disclosure whatsoever of any details pertaining to the company, the beneficial owners or directors, and no public access to details on the international business registry.

Foreign individuals and entities can be 100% owners of RAK ICs, which enjoy zero corporation or capital gains tax as well as respected white list status deriving from the UAE. Indeed the UAE is the only OECD white listed jurisdiction that has no taxes for international companies, free zone entities, or local companies and individuals.

Businesses who do not intend to conduct any onshore operations within the UAE, can utilise the RAK IC for a wide range of purposes including international trade, ownership of international assets and real estate, as well as ownership of intellectual property (patents, trademarks and copyright). It can be used for head office operations, and act as a global holding company for entities engaged in various international activities. The RAK IC may hold shares in any legal entity in the world, including offshore companies in other jurisdictions. Naturally, there are no restrictions on capital and profit repatriation.

Despite a general prohibition on conducting business with persons resident in UAE or carrying out any trade within the UAE (unless it has obtained the appropriate licence from the relevant authority), the RAK IC can hold shares in both offshore, free zone and onshore UAE companies. It can also own or hold an interest in designated freehold properties throughout the UAE.

In addition a RAK IC can of course hold and operate a bank account in the UAE, and may also maintain professional relations with legal consultants, accountants, management companies or other similar persons within the UAE.

The UAE currently has in place 48 double taxation prevention treaties and plans to implement 5 new treaties every year. The majority of these treaties do not contain the recent OECD clause for exchange of information. Moreover, other than the Netherlands-UAE bilateral treaty, the UAEs bilateral treaties do not discriminate between entities established on the mainland or within the free trade zones. In this context a RAK IC will be able to avail itself of the benefits deriving from the UAEs comprehensive treaty network thus helping to safeguard profits remitted abroad arising from dividends, interest, royalties and fees.

In cases where certain anti avoidance provisions or optimal tax planning contingencies require a physical presence, a basic RAK Free Zone entity (flexi desk or flexi-office facility) can easily be established and can be wholly owned by the International Company affording a high degree of flexibility and confidentiality together with a physical presence, as well as the opportunity to procure visas for designated officials. If desired, a bona fide local business activity can be established through the acquisition of an appropriate business licence. Local management and control can also be asserted through the appointment of a corporate director in the UAE.

Although all UAE companies must abide by UAE law, RAK ICs can choose which legal system should be applied for resolving inheritance issues, commercial disputes, and any other legal matter. .

Flexibility is evidenced in the ability to tailor the memorandum and articles of association of a RAK IC to suit specific needs, including the citing of the preferred legal convention, whether it is common law, civil law, Sharia or Hindu succession law etc and also the issuance of multiple classes of shares, including custodian shares and restricted bearer shares.

The incorporation process itself is extremely straightforward with comparatively minimal compliance procedures and with a minimum requirement for one director and shareholder (which may be the same person). The director and shareholder can be individuals or corporate entities, and may of course be non resident in the UAE.

Moreover on an ongoing basis, RAK ICs have no annual reporting requirements, no need to conduct AGMs, and no need to file accounts or annual returns.

The RAK IC derives enormous strength from the stable socio-political environment and economic dynamism afforded by the UAE, and its location within of one of the fastest growing emirates. The Confidentiality, versatility, and security of the IC, combined with its zero tax status and access to the UAEs double tax treaty network make it a uniquely attractive proposition.

There is only a restricted number of fully licensed agents directly authorised to incorporate and manage International Companies in Ras al Khaimah, some of which can benefit from a prestigious World Trade Centre registered office address in Dubai.
