EP 80 THE WEALTH CREATION SHOW: Financial Independence vs Financial Freedom?

Often, financial freedom and financial independence are used interchangeably.

But are they indeed one and the same?

What would happen to your life if you were to lose your job today? Would you still have enough income via sources other than your salary to cover your basic living expenses? Do you have an emergency fund ready as a backup? How about enough income to indefinitely fund your current lifestyle?

Luckily, you don’t need to head back to school to understand this as Lettings Director, Richard Cook and one of the UK’s most successful property investors, Jim Parker is on hand to discuss

FP TV (151) ACCURATE VALUATIONS: How do you know you’re getting the right price? (Watch/Read/Listen)

 

 

PODCAST: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/fife-properties/episodes/FP-TV-EP-147-ACCURATE-VALUATIONS-How-do-you-know-youre-getting-the-right-price-e26vhv9

 

Price is everything when selling your home. It doesn’t matter where you live, what you live in or what condition it’s in – if the price is wrong, you’ll be out of pocket or stuck where you are.

 

Accurate valuations are fundamental to a successful move, but they’re not an exact science. You might even have noticed similar homes selling for wildly different prices on the same street.

 

A bit like a recipe, an accurate valuation requires a delicate balance of ingredients for the perfect result, including:

 

  • Attracting buyers in the first place
  • Getting you the best possible price
  • Passing the surveyor’s valuation
  • Meeting your ideal moving date
  • Securing your next dream home

When just one of those doesn’t work out, disappointment and doubt can sour relations with your agent if your move looks at risk.

Our business and reputation depend on selling your home, how much we achieve and how soon we get it, so our blog this week covers everything you need to know about how we get it right.

Why Does it Take 116 Days to Sell a Home in Fife? (Watch/Read/Listen)

 

 

PODCAST: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/fife-properties/episodes/Why-Does-it-Take-116-Days-to-Sell-a-House-in-Fife-e26qgi5

 

The average time to sell a house in the UK from start to finish is 170 days, equivalent to 24.3 weeks or 5.6 months from the first day of marketing to legal completion, whilst in Fife it’s 116 days.

 

The actual time can vary depending on market conditions, location, property type, and pricing strategy, so in this article I delve deeper. Here is a breakdown of that 116 days.

 

Step 1 – Time to Accept an Offer:

On average, nationally, it takes 50 days (up from 43 days in 2022) to accept an offer on a property. This time starts with placing the property on the market, viewings, negotiating an offer and reaching an agreement with a potential buyer.

 

In Fife, it is taking 34 days on average to agree a sale on a property.

 

Again, the type of Fife property makes a huge difference as well.

PODCAST: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/fife-properties/episodes/Unlocking-Fifes-Property-Market-Potential-Unveiling-the-Saleability-Secrets-e26mgoo

 

As a Fife estate agent, I have witnessed first-hand how the Fife property market operates and the various factors that influence property sales.

 

One intriguing aspect is the difference in saleability across different price ranges.

 

In this article, we will delve into the dynamics of selling properties in relation to their price ranges and explore the factors contributing to varying sale rates.

 

Price Range and Saleability

Fife properties are often categorised into distinct price ranges, such as entry-level, mid-range, and upper-quartile luxury.

 

Each segment attracts different buyers with varying purchasing power, preferences, and investment goals.

 

These factors play a crucial role in determining the saleability of properties within each price range.

FP TV (EP 150) FURNISHED LETTINGS: Could you boost the income of your rental property by 21%?

 

 

PODCAST: https://spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/gXx0L6BogBb

 

To furnish or not to furnish? That hasn’t been the question for as long as we can remember – it’s been unfurnished all the way.

 

Nonetheless, the subject comes up in conversation every now and then, and a recent Zoopla article weighed up the pros and cons of furnished vs unfurnished homes, albeit from a tenant’s perspective.

 

So we thought it was worth exploring from a landlord’s point of view, particularly if it opens up a new angle and extra income for your buy-to-let business.

 

Over the last few years, surveys have found that:
