Cast your mind back to 2022, and you might remember a loud fanfare over levelling up the UK’s rental homes as part of the Government's target to reach net zero by 2050.

FPTV EP 186: RAISING THE RENT: How to renegotiate a higher rate without losing your tenant
Is there anything trickier than a rent review with a tenant you want to keep? It's little wonder so many landlords leave things as they are, no matter how far behind the market their income falls.
Eventually, though, an underperforming property can cause the landlord to sell up, resulting in a tenant losing their home and less available housing.

The Fife Property Market Report for March 2024
The Fife Property Market Report for March 2024
The Fife Property Market Report for March 2024 provides an insightful analysis into the buoyant activity of both the British and Fife area property markets. The first two months of 2024 has witnessed a robust start, driven by favourable conditions such as lower mortgage rates, an upswing in average earnings, and a strong employment market, all of which have bolstered confidence among buyers and investors. For those involved in the Fife property scene, understanding the nuances of the Local Fife market and how it aligns or diverges from national trends is key to making informed decisions, whether you are looking to buy or sell your Fife home, or even sell/expand your buy-to-let property portfolio.
Jim Parker and Richard Cook provide a guide and discussion regarding the main points of this report and what they might mean for the buyers and sellers in Fife in 2024.

EP 113: The Wealth Creation Show: The Importance of Behavioural Finance
EP 113: The Wealth Creation Show: The Importance of Behavioural Finance
Behavioural finance combines elements of psychology and economics to understand how cognitive biases and emotional factors influence financial decision-making.
Investors should ideally make rational decisions solely based on maximising their wealth, but behavioural finance recognises that human behaviour can deviate from this rationality.
Do you want to know what can cause you to make irrational and unwise investment decisions?
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 182: DAMAGE OR WEAR & TEAR? Which counts as which, and what can you claim back?
Just like a friend you haven’t seen for a long time, your rental
property will look older when you get it back at the end of a tenancy, and the difference can be jarring if you haven't visited for a while.
Regardless of whether they're owned or rented, all homes age, but when you see yours all the time, it's easy to miss and live with the gradual wear and tear that’s part of daily life.
