Spring is usually the time of year when the largest numbers of buyers start registering with estate agents to find their next home. With winter nearly over we can look forward to Easter and Summer – family friendly locations like Dunfermline, Glenrothes, Leven, Cupar, Kirkcaldy, East Neuk and St Andrews see a lot of property market activity.
There is no season quite like spring. Moods start to lift as the days get longer and brighter; thoughts begin to shift from indoor nesting to outdoor fun; the idea of a garden or terrace for summer in a new home goes from a dream to a thought, to action.

How often do Fife people move home? Well, it’s a lot less than the 1980’s! Yet, new research shows there is now a two-speed Fife property market, with the younger generation moving only after a few years, and the older generation in Fife staying in their homes for decades.
In this article, I discuss the implications behind this and how both Fife homebuyers and house sellers can adopt and adapt to this. Click here to read the article:

EP59 THE WEALTH CREATION SHOW: Is Buy to Let Really Worth it?
“Is this this the beginning of the end for Buy to Let Investors? It seems like the UK and Scottish Governments are determined to get rid of Private Landlords by implementing some of the most draconian legislation in history. Therefore, the question on everyone’s lips is: “Is it really worth investing in Buy to Let?”
Luckily, you don’t need to head back to school to understand this as Richard Cook and one of the UK’s most successful property investors, Jim Parker is on hand to take you through where we are today and clearly demonstrate if Buy to Let Property Investment is still a viable option for long-term wealth. We’ll be covering mortgage rates, inflation, ADS, yields, stress testing, occupancy rates, capital appreciation and the state of the UK economy and how that impacts on Buy to Let today. As ever, this is based on Jim’s personal experience and wisdom that took him from homeless and unemployed in his early 20’s to financial freedom at 38 years old.

The share of Brits moving each year has been declining since the late 1980s (when at one stage, people moved every eight years), yet since the pandemic’s beginning, something has appeared to upset that trend.
Newspaper stories and social media posts painted a picture of homeowners moving from the city centres to its suburbs, from the suburbs to the towns and countryside around the UK. Areas like the Cotswolds and coastal towns around the country got swamped by the ‘race for space’, significantly affecting housing markets (including Fife).
But how many Brits moved? And how long had they been in their homes before they moved?
