EP66 THE WEALTH CREATION SHOW: Atomic Habits Do you want to achieve your goals by creating good habits through self-improvement and focus?

Everyone has goals they want to achieve. Over the years, focusing on those goals can be all-consuming, with many hours spent trying to reach them. But while people may take giant steps in their progress, real results come when making small changes.

If you want lasting change, remain consistent with your habits. Don’t focus so much on the size of the change but instead on where it can lead you.

Do you want to achieve your goals by creating good habits through self-improvement and focus?

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 discuss how your habits determine your identity, how to make new habits easy and how to avoid negativity ruling you. With some practice, you’ll begin to develop habits that help you succeed in your personal and professional life.

PODCAST: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/fife-properties/episodes/ZOOPLA-UK-RENTAL-MARKET-REPORT–March-2023-e21d6s0

 

Executive summary

  • Rental inflation has slowed to 11.1%, from a high of 12.3% in mid-2022
  • A strong labour market and record immigration drove demand in 2022. Private rented housing supply has grown just 1% since 2016
  • Higher mortgage rates have further weakened the economics of investing for landlords, impacting new investment in rental supply
  • Landlords ‘searching for yield’ to offset rising costs will push some to let into different sectors of the private rental market
  • The growth in overall rental supply is set to remain limited in 2023. Demand is expected to remain above average but lower than 2022
  • Rental inflation for new lets will slow to 4-5% by the year end. The slowdown could be rapid in inner London and other city centres.

 

 

FP TV (EP 133) SPRING VIEWINGS: Get your Fife home ready for the year’s busiest selling season (Watch/Read/Listen)

Spring has been the most popular season to buy and sell a home for as long as we can remember, and with good reason.

 

Plans are often hatched around the beginning of the year, and as the weather warms up and nature bursts into bloom, those plans swing into action.

 

Perhaps you want to move your family in time for the new school year to minimise disruption to your children. Or maybe you just love the idea of being in your next home by summer.

 

Whether it’s more space, a bigger garden, somewhere with room for an office or even downsizing, spring inspires many a move, with sellers and buyers coming out of hibernation.

 

Of course, as more homes come up for sale, the competition to secure a buyer gets stiffer. So, with spring just around the corner, now is the time to prepare your home to stand out in the new season.

 

With that in mind, our blog this week is packed with tips for successful spring viewings to give your home the edge and find a buyer fast.
