PODCAST: https://anchor.fm/fife-properties/episodes/FP-TV-EP-50-SMOOTH-MOVES-Eliminate-the-Stress-When-Selling-Your-Home-in-Fife-e15920s

 

Most moves have a lot riding on them, and, if you’re thinking of selling your home, there’s probably a good reason behind it.

 

Perhaps you’re moving in with a partner, expanding your family, relocating for work, thinking about schools, considering downsizing, or simply moving to your ultimate dream location.

 

None of these are small events. They’re pivotal life moments filled with anticipation, and when the next chapter of your life depends on the sale of your home, it can be an emotional time.

 

I believe that estate agents have a unique role to play in making your move an enjoyable and exciting experience. Because moving is exciting, and it can absolutely be enjoyable.

 

In that spirit, let’s look at what you can plan for and what to be prepared for so you can keep a level head at every stage of selling your home. Continue reading FFPTV (EP 50) SMOOTH MOVES: Eliminate the Stress When Selling Your Home in Fife (Watch/read/listen)

Why Savvy Fife Buy-to-Let Landlords Don’t Use 10-Year Mortgages

I know of many Fife buy-to-let landlords who fell into property investing by accident. Many didn’t want to sell their family home when the Fife housing market crashed in the Credit Crunch of 2009/10, yet still needed to move (often for work). They thought they would keep their Fife family home in case they ever moved back to Fife. Yet by keeping it, it couldn’t remain empty (there was still a mortgage to pay on it), so they ended up renting their home out.

Empty rooms can look a bit sad, and there are plenty of uninviting photographs out there of vacant buy-to-lets. It’s a constant challenge for landlords and letting agents when the demand from tenants is for unfurnished property, but when homes never look their best when they’re empty.

“At least one in six people on The Sunday Times Rich List owes their wealth to property or the world of home ownership in some way”. Those are the words of Robert Watts, the man who compiles The Sunday Times Rich List.

Building a successful lettings portfolio is an exciting route to financial freedom, and picking a direction for your buy-to-let business ultimately comes down to two choices: capital growth or rental yield.
