 Latest Nottingham Property News with Kate Faulkner - BBC Radio NottinghamIn Kate's property special with Frances Finn on BBC Radio Nottingham, a number of property topics were discussed, these included property prices; 1930's properties; key issues in the market; focus on Southwell; fastest sales; sellers and self build. State of the Art HomesCreating a start of the art home can mean many different things to many people. However, The Joseph Rowntree Foundation did a study of the market potential for Smart Homes (state of the art homes) and came up with a helpful definition. Creating an Allergy Free HomeThere are lots of ideas and help that you can gain from all sorts of resources to help create an allergy free home, from specialist magazines through to profit and non-profit organisations. One of the important things to make sure is that the products or services that you go for are tried and tested. It would be very easy to spend a lot of money and not really get any benefit. Thinking of Renewing your Home Insurance?Let's face it, we all hate renewing our home insurance and when the renewal notice lands on the doormat, it's just not a very exciting thing to have to do! So how many people actually take the time to search for the best deal, and look at all the small print that relates to the dos and dont's of insuring one of the most valuable assets you own and all your prized possessions? Many would be interested in how to go about buying and selling on property for profitBuying and selling for a profit used to be ‘easy’. Through the millennium you could buy a property and be guaranteed it would make money in a few years and in some cases, a few months. Some people (and mortgage lenders!) seemed to think house prices would continue to rise, others warned of a housing bubble, but didn’t seem to be able to accurately predict when it would burst. However, burst it did, starting in the States and hitting the UK very hard. What to consider when investing or buying overseasMany people just ‘fall’ into buying property abroad. Either they go to a show and like the look of the fancy developer photos and get sucked in by the patter of the clever salesmen (usually ex time share sales people!) or they go on holiday, meet someone in a bar, get invited to a ‘free’ event and with little due diligence hand over tens of thousands of pounds. Don’t let this happen to YOU! When and How you should Sell your Property InvestmentsWhen investing, most people concentrate on the ‘deal’ they are getting and whether it works in today’s market. However, since the property price falls of 2007 left many investors who wanted to cash in for their retirement in dire straits, and with the demand and supply of property likely to change in the future due to demographics, it’s essential to have a good idea of when is the right time to sell your investments. Why you Should Diversify your Property InvestmentsWhen it comes to property investment, many people start with ‘what they know’. This means buying a property, renovating it and then selling it on at a profit, or buying a property then letting it out. Property Investment: What should you do differently in the current economic climate?With the difficult economic environment we are in and new rules that are likely to apply to property investment from a financial perspective, means that ‘doing the same thing’ may well not work now, or even in the future when the market picks up. First time property investor: Where do you start?When you are a first time investor the whole process is incredibly daunting. On one hand you are a bit like a first time buyer again – very excited about the investment adventure you are about to take, on the other hand, you are about to enter an unregulated market that can as easily lose you your life savings as it can make you a property millionaire!
