- First-time buyers (FTBs) were the largest buyer group in 2022 and look set to be a strong source of new sales again in 2023

EP 69 THE WEALTH CREATION SHOW: Can Money Buy You Happiness?
We already know that people in a comfortable standard of living are generally happier than those that are living in poverty. So, is it true that money doesn’t buy happiness?
We’ve all heard the saying “money doesn’t buy happiness”, but what does that actually mean? People often think that if they have all the money to buy the things they want, take their dream vacation, and live in their dream home that they’ll finally be happy.
Do you think you need money to be happy? Or do you think we can live in the world of today and be perfectly happy without an abundance of money?
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 the benefits that money can have on your life, happiness and your future.

FP TV EP 138 FIND THE GAP: How to create the buy-to-let niche that’s perfect for you
Buy-to-let is undergoing a massive transformation right now. Poor-quality homes are getting squeezed out by tightening legislation, and short-term profiteering has fallen away through changing tax laws. As a result, many landlords have sold up. But if you’re in it for the long term, buy-to-let can still be a highly profitable route to financial security, particularly if you can serve an overlooked segment of the local rental market.

EP67 THE WEALTH CREATION SHOW: What is The True Meaning of Wealth
One of the greatest driving forces in the world is the desire for wealth.
True wealth may mean seeking deeper relationships, more personal growth or ways to create more meaning in life. Achieving true wealth may mean possessing the ability to enjoy the small, ordinary pleasures of life.
The terms money and wealth may appear to mean the same thing. But while many people emphasise the importance of having an abundance of money, few understand the meaning of true wealth.
What does achieving wealth mean to you and does wealth and money hold a different meaning?
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 the true meaning of wealth, the differences between wealth and money as well as insights into wealth creation.

FIFE PROPERTY MARKET: Is now a good time to buy, or should people wait? (Watch/Read/Listen)
As we go into the second quarter of 2023, there is significant uncertainty in the UK economy, leading to uncertainty in the property market.
The number one issue is the fight against inflation and the cost-of-living crisis. The Bank of England is working hard to decrease inflation, and hopefully, in summer, we should see British inflation coming down. From that, we should expect interest rates to come down later in the year (and that is what the money markets believe with the 5-year swap rates).
