So where did it all start and where can you start to build wealth? Not only for you but your family and wider community. It’s easier than you think and really starts with creating good habits and taking advantage of some simple everyday opportunities that you know but just don’t see!

 

Luckily, you don’t need to head back to school to understand this as Jim Parker and Richard Cook are on hand to take you through the 10 Tips to Build Wealth for anyone that wants to and how simple this is. Remember effort multiplied but time divided by the desired return will equal the wealth you desire. As ever, this is based on Jim’s personal experience and wisdom that took him from homeless and unemployed in his early 20’s to financial freedom at 38 years old.

Mortgage Market Update with Neil Bird of Cara Mortgages (Watch/Listen)

 

 

PODCAST: https://spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/KyWMaqk2zub

 

GOOD NEWS!!!

 

I know it’s been a while, but this week has definitely seen some good news in the mortgage market!!!

 

Since Luz Truss’s resignation the money markets have started to calm a little and number of the lenders that had withdrawn from the market have returned.

 

But even better, over the last couple of days some of the big high street lenders have actually reduced theirs rates slightly for the first time in many months, with more to follow!!!

 

Other lenders have started bringing back more of their product ranges, and a least one large BTL lender has just reduced it’s rental calculation stress rates, making it easier for property investors to get the funding they need.

 

Obviously, there is a lot of talk about another Bank of England Base Rate rise next month, but with the mortgage market stabilising and improving after weeks of uncertainty and chaos, now might just be the perfect time to lock in that fixed rate you’ve been thinking about.

 

Expert advice is more important than ever, so please feel free to get in touch with Neil Bird for a chat.

Could the humble ‘granny annexe’ help solve the Fife housing crisis for mature homeowners?

 

Most Fife homeowners born before 1960 have been in their homes for more than 25 years.

 

Yet of all the properties sold in the UK since the first lockdown in the summer of 2020, 50% of those property owners had only been in their homes for six years and four months or less. That means we almost have a two speed housing market.
