Up to half a million tenants may lose their home without financial help, charities, landlords and lenders warn

Citizens Advice estimate that at least half a million private tenants are in arrears due to the impact of Covid-19.

And the Resolution Foundation told the BBC that 750,000 renters had fallen behind on housing costs in January - 450,000 UP on the previous year.

The think tank reported that just 3% of private renting families have been able to negotiate a lower rent over the last 10 months.

Earlier this week, the Housing Secretary, Robert Jenrick, announced that a ban on bailiff-enforced evictions in England would be extended until 31 March, which means hundreds of thousands of tenants are living on borrowed time.

Millions of buy-to-let landlords and property investors have mortgages to pay and rely on the rental income from tenants. Retired residential property landlords with no mortgages are dependent on rental income to supplement their pensions in retirement.

The Easy Way To Build Better Websites & Funnels Without Paying A Developer

In this day and age, any business that wants to thrive must go online.

With so many things going on around the world, and global changes that will forever impact the way people live and do business, going online is no longer just an option.

Not only to maintain their success, but even just to survive.

Sure, there are tools that are already available that any business can use to run their entire company and processes digitally.

However, any minimum amount of research will tell you that most of these products are expensive, complicated and limited in customization.

In other words, not very user-friendly, and definitely not suitable for all business owners, especially those who are less tech-savvy and might even be on a budget.

I mean, who can afford to invest thousands of dollars a month into a bunch of complicated tools, and on top of that, hire employees to manage the systems, right?

Well, if this sounds familiar in any way, I have some good news for you.

As an online marketer and blogger myself, I am always looking for new solutions for these everyday challenges we face as business owners.

Today, I am very excited to introduce you to my latest discovery.

GrooveFunnels is, by far, the best way I have found to be able to build websites, sales funnels and sell digital products online - without using an expensive developer.

Money Tips News Round Up Friday 19 February 2021

Money Tips News Round Up Friday 19 February 2021

v  UK government borrowing soared to £8.8bn in last month

v  Uber Drivers are “NOT self-employed, Supreme Court Rules

v  Free Property Training For Money Tips Followers – Could 2021 Be Your Year?

UK government borrowing soared to £8.8bn in last month, the highest January figure since records began in 1993, reflecting the cost of pandemic support measures.

Annual borrowing for the financial year reached a whopping £270.6bn, £222bn more than a year ago, said the Office for National Statistics (ONS).

This is the first time in 10 years that more has been borrowed in January than collected in taxes and other income. January is usually a bumper revenue-raising month, as taxpayers submit their self-assessment returns.

Tax income plummeted by less than £1bn, while the British government splashed out £19.7bn more than last year on measures such as furlough.

The spending of taxpayer’s money, QE and borrowing will eventually have to be repaid through higher taxes or increased economic activity if the lockdown is lifted quickly. As retail sales fell through the floor last year, Conservative backbench MPs are putting pressure on the government to ease lockdown restrictions and open up the economy by Easter.

Uber Drivers are “NOT self-employed, Supreme Court Rules

Landmark ruling will have far reaching repercussions for the GIG economy and taxation of businesses which “employ” staff on “self-employed” basis.

House Prices Up 8.5% in 2020 According To Official Figures, But How Long...

How Long Will The Party Last?

The average prices of UK house climbed 8.5% in 2020, the highest yearly growth rate since October 2014, according to the official Land Registry data.

The average UK house price reached a record high of £252,000 in December 2020, the Office for National Statistics said.

The UK is made up of a number of distinct markets, some a world apart from London where average prices are just under £500,000.

The North West had the highest growth of 11.2%, while London rose just 3.5%.

The stamp duty holiday and buyers reassessing their housing preferences contributed to the rise, the ONS said.

The desire for more space during the pandemic saw the average price of detached properties rise by twice as much as flats and maisonettes during 2020, up by 10% and 5% respectively.

In Wales, where there has been a recent boom in second home purchases, enjoyed the fastest growth, with property values rising 10.7% to £184,000.

In England, prices climbed 8.5% to £269,000, in Scotland, 8.4% to £163,000 and in Northern Ireland 5.3% to £148,000.

There is speculation that the Stamp Duty holiday, due to end in March, will be extended for a further six weeks.

Avoid following the FOMO herd into highly priced property, stocks and Bitcoin.

As always, do your research, take financial advice, and buy right.

Will property prices crash in 2021?

Here’s the real secret…professional property investors make money from property whether the market is rising OR falling.

Just like professional share traders make money in a bull or bear market, property investors make money either way.

Here’s another secret…you make money when you buy a property, not in ten years when you hope it will have gone up in value.

Wise “value” investors, like Warren Buffett, do not follow the herd or buy something because the “market” says it worth a certain price. They buy at what they judge is the right value and wait patiently, sometime for years, until the price is right or they move on. Warren is sitting on $180 BILLION in cash right now because he thinks the stock market is way over valued.

So, if you want to make money from property, learn from the professionals and learn how to buy right, in the right areas and for the right reason. You should take advantage of the many free webinars available for anyone who wants to invest in UK property.

Will Property Crash In 2021, As UK GDP Falls 10%?

The UK economy crashed by 9.9% in 2020, the worst drop in GDP on record, yet property prices rose by 7%! But will prises crash in 2021? The simple answer is nobody really knows and even if they did it would depend on a number of factors – like the speed of the economic recovery and the level of government spending and support for the housing market.

Despite the worst recession in 300 years, domestic property transactions were up 16%, average prices across the country jumped by almost 7% last year and the market is still buoyant despite a slight fall in January.

British auctioneer, Savills, sold over £100 million worth of property from its last three online auctions.

I attended Tuesday’s online only auction, and witnessed over £37 million worth and more than 100 properties go under the hammer. Properties, from a few thousand to millions of pounds, were selling fast at way over the guide prices – one sold for £200,000 over guide as eager bidders slugged it out until it was no longer an auction “deal” and could have been bought for less in a High Street Estate Agent’s office. Auctions are for experienced investors and not for the faint hearted!

This week the Chancellor Rishi Sunak announced a £3.5 billion package to help tenants and residents blighted by the ‘cladding’ crisis. Experts warn that the package is a drop in the ocean and will not help all of those unable to sell or re-mortgage their properties.

Despite this, I saw a property being sold at Savills auction which was in a block that has or has had the type of cladding that was on the Grenfell Tower block. The legal pack gave no information about remedial work let alone the like cost or service charges. When I phoned one of the auctioneers I was told, “if you’re unsure, don’t bid on it”! The flat was sold at under market value for the area in an expensive part of London to a buyer who will have to deal with the problem.

Buying at auction is a case of “caveat emptor”, Latin for buyer beware!

Whilst the end of the Stamp Duty Holiday in March – but could be extended for six weeks according to reports in the press this weekend - could signal an end to the boom, the government is still printing billions to make sure the party goes on for the foreseeable future. The party will end eventually, but exactly when is anybody’s guess.

Here’s the real secret…professional property investors make money from property whether the market is rising OR falling.

Just like professional share traders make money in a bull or bear market, property investors make money either way.

Here’s another secret…you make money when you buy a property, not in ten years time when it has gone up in value.

So, if you want to make money from property, learn from the professionals and learn how to buy right, in the right areas and for the right reason. You should take advantage of the many free webinars available for anyone who wants to invest in UK property.

Travellers Face £1750 Hotel Charge For COVID-19 Quarantine Stay - Will p...

Will property crash in 2021?

Travellers arriving in England forced to stay in hotels will be charged £1,750 for ten days of quarantine, the UK Health Secretary Matt Hancock has announced.

The border control measures will come into force on Monday and apply to UK and Irish residents returning from countries on the high-risk so-called ‘red list.

Opposition parties have called for stronger border controls, as travellers from the 33 red list countries, which include South Africa, Panama and the UAE, do not make up the majority of the 20,000 plus people arriving in London from around the world every day.

Anyone breaking the rules and failing to quarantine in a government-sanctioned hotel for 10 days will be fined up to £10,000.

However, all overseas travellers flying into Scotland will have to go into quarantine hotels.

To add to the confusion, people travelling from red list countries to Wales and Northern Ireland will be required to book and pay for quarantine in England, because the two countries do not currently have any direct international flights.

People who lie on their passenger locator forms about visiting a red list country will be subject to a fine of £10,000 or up to 10 years in prison.

The UK has suffered over 113,000 coronavirus deaths since the start of the pandemic. Over 12.6 million people have received a first dose of the vaccine.

Mr Hancock told the Commons that 16 hotels have been contracted for the programme, with 4,600 rooms secured.

The government will also enforce a tougher new "enhanced testing" regime for all travellers arriving into the UK starting on Monday, with two tests required during the quarantine process.

Arriving passengers must to get a test on days two and eight of their 10-day quarantine period, whether they are isolating at home or in a hotel.

The previous scheme was widely criticised for being too lax and open to abuse by overseas passengers arriving at London’s airports with no test and getting straight onto crowded underground public transport.

Under new rules, airlines and travel companies will be legally required to ensure travellers have signed up for the new measures before they depart, with fines for companies and passengers if they fail to comply, Mr Hancock confirmed.

New penalties include a £1,000 fine for travellers who fail to take mandatory tests and a £2,000 fine for failing to take the second mandatory test - along with a 14-day extension to quarantine.

Failing to quarantine in a designated hotel carries fine of between £5,000 and £10,000.

Passengers required to stay in a quarantine hotel must reserve a room online in advance via a booking system opening on Thursday.

The £1,750 fee for an individual includes the hotel, transfer to it and testing.

Similar measures have been in place in a number of Asian countries, including The Philippines, since the middle of 2020.

10 Tips To Save Money On Insurance - Cladding Scandal Sees Buildings Ins...

Cladding Scandal Sees Buildings Insurance Premiums SOAR 1000%

As Insurance Premiums Across The Board Rise, How Can You Save Money?

Owners of properties blighted by fire hazard cladding face 1000% hike in their building’s insurance and no solution for those trapped in unsafe and unsaleable flats.

A 28 year old woman from Leeds, who bought her first flat two years ago, has declared herself bankrupt after handing back the keys to her virtually worthless property. But did she need to declare bankruptcy?

Insurance practice a process known as ‘walking the price’, which will cost you thousands if you stay with the same company for years.

10 Tips To Save Money On Car Insurance:

1.      Rule Number 1. Loyalty does not pay!

2.      Never auto renew without shopping around first

3.      Check renewal 2-3 weeks in advance of renewal date

4.      Go for low mileage insurance if you are not driving so much now

5.      Young drivers can save by adding an older, more experienced driver

6.      Try getting quotes for multi-car policies which can save you money in some circumstances

7.      Your own insurer could be cheaper on a comparison site than they are quoting you directly

8.      Make sure you get like-for-like cover – check the small print and terms and conditions

9.      At very least, ask your own company for a better deal to stay with them

10.   Paying monthly could cost you up to 40% extra – pay in advance on a low interest credit card
