Fife House Prices – The Effect of Rising Inflation (watch/read/listen)

 

PODCAST: https://anchor.fm/fife-properties/episodes/Fife-House-Prices—The-Effect-of-Rising-Inflation-e1b4vvf

 

House prices tend to rise with inflation, so with UK annual inflation hitting 4.2% last week, that’s good news, isn’t it? Yes and no – let me explain what it means for Fife homeowners.

The year-on-year cost of living rose by 4.2% in October, its highest rate in almost a decade. This jump in prices (inflation), pushed mainly by increasing fuel and energy costs, placing further pressure on Fife household budgets.

 

So, what will this rise in inflation mean to Fife house prices? Continue reading Fife House Prices – The Effect of Rising Inflation (watch/read/listen)

ACCIDENTAL LANDLORD? All You Need To Know To Make It a Success

 

Not everyone sets out to be a landlord, and becoming an accidental one is more common than you might think.

PODCAST: https://anchor.fm/fife-properties/episodes/FP-TV-EP-36-LETTING-AGENTS-How-To-Pick-The-Best-One-e101jnl

 

Whether you’ve been a landlord for years or you’re just starting out, finding a letting agent you can trust and build a long-lasting relationship with is a big deal.

Renting out your property is about so much more than just money and business. As well as wanting an agent who can find you the perfect tenant, you’re sure to have feelings around confidence, connection and communication. None of these are financial concerns, but our experience tells us how prized they are by all of our landlord clients.

Listen to the PODCAST: https://anchor.fm/fife-properties/episodes/FP-TV-EP-34-RENTAL-UPGRADES-5-Improvements-to-Increase-Your-Income-ev35tj

 

The rental market has grown up. Tenancies are running for longer, and with stays of four or more years increasingly common, tenants have higher expectations around the place they’re willing to call home.

 

This spells good news for landlords because those higher expectations come with a willingness to pay a higher rent. More than that, the right improvements will Continue reading FP TV (EP 34) RENTAL UPGRADES: 5 Improvements to Increase Your Income (Watch/read/listen)
