ZOOPLA UK Rental Market Report – December 2023 (Watch/Read/Listen)

 

PODCAST: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/fife-properties/episodes/ZOOPLA-UK-Rental-Market-Report–December-2023-e2d8hh9

Executive summary

 

  • The UK is past peak rental growth. We expect annual UK rental growth to halve over 2024 to 5%, the lowest growth since 2021.

 

  • London will lead the slowdown with rents expected to increase by just 2% over 2024 as affordability pressures impact demand.

 

  • Demand is weakening slowly off a high base, down 11% year on year, but still a third higher than the 5-year average.

 

  • There are signs asking rents have overshot in some markets, evidence of growing resistance to higher rents.

 

  • The supply-demand imbalance in rented housing is not going to disappear in 2024 but the market will become more into balanced.

 

  • Rents in regional markets are set to out-perform where affordability is less of a constraint on rental growth.

FPTV EP 162: ACCEPTING A GUARANTOR: The essential checks you need to make, and when to say no

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.

Join Lettings Director Richard Cook along with one of the UK’s most successful Property Investors, Jim Parker (who will more than likely share some of his secrets) this Saturday morning live on “The Fife property Show”.

EP 91: The Wealth Creation Show: The Wealth Mastery Mindset

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

FIFE HOMEOWNERS: Navigating the Latest Interest Rate Rise to 5.25% (Watch/Read/Listen)

 

 

PODCAST: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/fife-properties/episodes/FIFE-HOMEOWNERS-Navigating-the-Latest-Interest-Rate-Rise-to-5-25-e27sbro 

 

Interest rates have risen to 5.25% following a 0.25% increase announced by the Bank of England.

 

This is the 14th consecutive rise and marks the highest interest rates in 15 years.

 

The reason behind these rate hikes is to combat high levels of inflation. The government has set a target of 2% inflation, and the recent inflation rate drop to 7.9% in June has been better than predicted by the markets.

Lettings Director Richard Cook and Jim Parker provide an insight into how this process works.
