What others fail to realise is that their deep beliefs (usually the ones their parents had) determine how much money they make or don’t make, who they marry, what kind of home they live in, the clothes they wear, the kind of car they drive and everything else!

Everything you do is controlled by your beliefs! Our beliefs are our views, our judgments, our way of thinking, what we believe in, what we believe to be true or false, right or wrong, and our conclusions about life.

Very seldom do we consciously choose our beliefs. We usually inherit them from our parents and environment around us.

Can your beliefs change your life? And what are your beliefs?

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 are on hand to discuss

FPTV (EP 162) ACCEPTING A GUARANTOR: The essential checks you need to make, and when to say no (Watch/read/listen)

PODCAST: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/fife-properties/episodes/FPTV-EP-162-ACCEPTING-A-GUARANTOR-The-essential-checks-you-need-to-make–and-when-to-say-no-e2a1u9v

 

For some landlords, the very mention of guarantors can ring alarm bells. But they’re written into more tenancy agreements than you might think, and needing one isn’t necessarily a sign of problems ahead.

 

Even well-paid professionals with a glowing landlord’s recommendation can fall short in the referencing process, so it’s wise to have an understanding of what it means to have a tenant with a guarantor.

UK House Price Index Scotland and Fife: July 2023 (Watch/Read/Listen)

PODCAST:  https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/fife-properties/episodes/UK-House-Price-Index-Scotland-and-Fife-July-2023-e29jkvq

Economic statement

 

Average house prices in Scotland increased by 0.1% in the 12 months to July 2023. This was down from 0.3% the 12 months to June 2023 and was slower than the average UK house price annual inflation of 0.6% in the 12 months to July 2023.

On a non-seasonally adjusted basis, average house prices in Scotland increased by 1.1% between June 2023 and July 2023, compared with an increase of 1.2% during the same period 12 months ago. On a seasonally adjusted basis, average house prices in Scotland increased by 0.3% between June 2023 and July 2023.

Comparing the provisional UK HPI volume estimate for May 2022 with the provisional UK HPI volume estimate for May 2023, the volume of transactions decreased by 9.5% in Scotland and by 17.7% in the UK.

In Scotland, detached houses showed the highest annual percentage change out of all property types, increasing by 2.5% in the 12 months to July 2023 to £345,000. Flats and maisonettes showed the lowest annual percentage change, which decreased by 1.5% in the 12 months to July 2023 to an average price of £131,000.

The highest annual percentage change was in East Lothian, where average house prices increased by 11.7% in the 12 months to July 2023 to £330,000. The lowest annual percentage change was in West Dunbartonshire, where average house prices decreased by 7.0% in the 12 months to July 2023 to £133,000.

As with other indicators in the housing market, which typically fluctuate from month to month, it is important not to put too much weight on one month’s set of house price data.

FP TV (EP 160) EMPTY PROMISE: Turn a vacant spell into a brighter future for your buy-to-let

An empty rental property doesn’t have to be a downer. In fact, having some time between tenancies gives you the chance to optimise your investment’s rental yield, sales value, and future popularity.

That said, vacant homes do have some extra risks and management that you don’t need to think about when your property has a tenant.

So, whether you’re making improvements to turn a greater profit, or just keeping things in check until the next tenancy begins, this week’s blog is jam-packed with expert tips and tricks.

Lettings Director Richard Cook along with one of the UK’s most successful Property Investors, Jim Parker discuss this topic.
