Hi, me again!
Is this weather ever going to improve? Are we ever going to get a respite from this rain? We who are unaffected (except our mood), can be grateful that we haven’t been flooded. If you have, my thoughts are with you, and I sincerely hope that you can recoup or replace any losses.
Hi again
We’re well into the middle of February now, and who were we kidding when we thought Spring was in the air? Perhaps I was getting ahead of myself, and it is only February, after all.
I still find it way too cold to spend any time outside in the garden, even in my (albeit dilapidated) greenhouse! I don’t mind going for walks, as that means moving and warming up, and I have noticed that it is starting to get lighter earlier in the mornings.
Doesn’t it seem as if January flew by? For some of you, maybe that was a good thing! Dry January, New Year’s gym and diet resolutions, etc. Well, we’re well and truly into the swing of things again now.
So, where to now? What to look forward to? Plans, goals? At least Spring is on the way - so they tell us!! The temperature outside this morning certainly didn’t feel like it! But the daffodils are coming up in my garden, and some starting to bud already.
As a property investor, you are always looking for ways to add value to a property. One of those is often to build on extensions, title split into apartments or split the land and build a new house. All of these ill require extensive planning submissions and can take significant time. We have recently been involved in some ourselves and have also witnessed clients unable to get planning, making their investment substandard.
Down valuations are normally the fault of the investor over estimating the done up value of their property. Working out how much your property will be worth after you have finished the refurbishments is one of the hardest elements of investing to get right. There are so many factors to look at, properties sold recently, to what standard where they finished, what size, and so on.
I hope that it’s started off well for you all.
We’ve had a time of reflection, and have a clear plan of where we want to go this year, which is very exciting!
During my personal reading and reflection time in the mornings, I’ve realised that our business is not invested in property, as much as in people. Yes, we invest in bricks and mortar and add value to that wherever we can, but let’s face it, people live in homes.
What does that statement mean to you?
Let me tell you what I mean by it.
How many of you feel there are not enough hours in the day to get through what needs to be done? Do you almost get through your email inbox, only to turn around and find another 50 messages have just landed? That’s not even counting the “Whats App” messages on your phone!
