FPTV (EP 290) LANDLORD EPC CHANGES: Your Guideto the New Rules and Metrics

It seems like an eternity since the idea of EPC changes for rental homes was first mooted, but we finally have solid datesand new criteria to work to.

There's been much talk of the ineffective measuring standards used in current EPC bands, so along with deadlines forproperty upgrades, the way EPCs are assessed is also set for radical change.

Ultimately, all rental homes will need to have an Energy Performance certificate with a minimum rating of Band C, but the timescales are different between Scotland and the rest of the UK.

As with everything around property management, it’s never too soon to plan, Richard Cook is on hand to dive into the depths of the upcoming EPC changes.

EP 215: The Wealth Creation Show: The Cost of Inaction

What if the most expensive decision you’ll ever make…is doing nothing?

Are you ready to explore the hidden force quietly drainingmillions from people’s futures — not through action, but through hesitation?

🔥 How BrewDog Scaled Too Fast — And What Landlords Can Learn

Who? A once unstoppable challenger brand with abillion-pound valuation.

What? Aggressive expansion. Global rollout. Heavyfixed costs.

When? During years of cheap borrowing, easy growthand rising optimism.

Where? Across the UK and internationally — bars,breweries, hotels, big overheads.

Why did it unravel?

Because when interest rates rose and costs surged, scale without resiliencebecame a liability.

BrewDog didn’t fail because people stopped drinking beer. Itstruggled because structure couldn’t handle the shift.

And here’s the uncomfortable part… Many landlords expanded under the same conditions.

Cheap debt. Rising values. Momentum thinking.

In this article, I break down what really happened — andwhat property investors must learn before the next market squeeze.

If you own rental property in 2026, this isn’t just abusiness story.

We’re surrounded by images of beautiful interiors every day, from TV shows and YouTube channels to social media postsand magazine features, meaning expectations have never been so high.

Fife Homeowners, Avoid the Overpricing Trap

The property market is frequently misunderstood, especially amid dramatic news stories. Here’s what Fife homeowners need to know to avoid costly traps.

To understand the property market, it is important to consider the broader context.

Jim Parker is on hand to discuss how nationally, house pricegrowth is treading water at 2.5% a year, and there were 663k UK homes available for sale in the month of January, compared to the three-year pre-COVID averagelevel of 559k. That said, homes are still selling. In fact, 10.0% more Scottish properties were sold in January 2026 compared to January 2024.

Looking at Fife, 407 homes sold stm in January 2024, whilst inJanuary 2026 that had risen to 443, an 8.8% increase.

In January 2024, Fife had 1,616 homes for sale: in January 2026, 1,542.

And that is precisely why pricing strategy matters now more than ever if you want to sell.

Scottish Housing Bill: Landlords. Who Wins?

If you own rental property in Fife, Dundee, Edinburgh, Glasgow or anywhere across Scotland — this isn’t background noise anymore.

This is structural change. Jim Parker discusses how for years, many Scottish landlords operated in a relatively predictable system. Rents adjusted. Tenants moved on. Evictions — while never pleasant — were manageable.

FPTV (EP 288) 2026 RENTAL REFORMS: How do England and Scotland Compare?

With the Renters’ Rights Act in England and the Housing (Scotland) Act 2025 both gaining Royal Assent, landlords face a series of 2026 rental reforms.

FPTV (EP 287) MOVING HOME IN 2026? 15 Things to Think About and Prepare

Moving home is a major life moment that requires equal parts strategy and soul-searching, and the key to success lies in how much thought and preparation go into making such a big decision.

Whether you’re wondering whether to stay put and improve, how to attract the best buyer, or when’s the right time to sell, breaking the process down into manageable steps keeps the overwhelm in check.

Over many years of selling homes and across every price range, we’ve noticed how so many homeowners ask exactly the same questions and share the same concerns.

With that in mind, estate agents Sophie Gibbens and Perrie McIntosh have created this guide to help you navigate the journey ahead.

The Myth of the “Kind” Fife Landlord

Many Fife rental problems do not start with bad landlords or difficult tenants.

In Fife, as in many areas across the country, they usually start with good intentions and silence. Silence about rent reviews. Silence about maintenance. Silence about what happens when life changes.

Let me give you a scenario I see more often than people realise.

It’s a story of a tenant who moved into a two-bedroom terraced house in Leven in 2016. At the time, the rent was a very fair £490 per calendar month. It reflected the market, the condition of the home, and the local demand. LettingsAgent Richard Cook is on hand to discuss how both landlord and tenant felt comfortable with the arrangement and the relationship was positive from day one.

GET SOLD THIS SPRING: Give Your Home an Instant Spring Lift to Sell Fast and High

Spring is the strongest selling season in the UK property market. Longer days, lighter moods, and buyers eager to move before summer create the perfect conditions forachieving both a faster sale and a higher price.

But here’s the truth most sellers miss: homes don’t sell well just because it’s spring. They sell well because sellers use spring strategically.

Estate agents, Jim Parker, Perrie McIntosh, Sophie Gibbens and Richard Cook discuss the five practical, high-impact areas that can instantly elevate your home’s appeal,increase buyer competition, and help you secure the best possible price — without expensive renovations.

FPTV EP 286: SELF-MANAGED RENTAL RISKS: Why Solo Landlords Need Expert Help

As we enter 2026, owning and managing a rental home isincreasingly demanding, unforgiving, and legally exposed, with self-managed rental risks greater than ever before.

The margin for error or neglect has disappeared, and there’sincreasingly nowhere to hide. This has caused some landlords to sell up, but others are expanding or even starting their portfolio.

However, success today means monitoring legislative change,maintaining watertight records and operating as if you are already being audited so you can defend your actions under scrutiny.

Understandably, many solo landlords are weighing up whether the small savings on management fees are worth the significant legal and financial exposure that comes with doing it all alone.

With that in mind, letting agents Richard Cook and Kerin Marsahll have put together a guide to self-managed rental risks to give you an idea of the lettings world ahead.

Fife House Price Crash in 2026?

In early 2023, property forecasters predicted a significant UKhousing downturn over the next two years, citing rising interest rates following Liz Truss's departure. Halifax expected an 8% drop, Savills predicted a 10% drop, and Nomura Bank forecast up to a 15% drop.

While these gloomy forecasts successfully grabbed headlines and generated clicks, the actual market data three years later tells a completely different story.

Estate agents Sophie Gibbens and Perrie McIntosh to discuss that according to the Land Registry, the reality has been far more resilient. UK house prices are 3.93% higher today than they were in January 2023. Locally, the picture is also one of stability rather than collapse, with Fife house prices being 11.64% higher than in January 2023.

Yet even with those statistics, now that we are starting 2026, Iam again hearing the same nervous question being asked all over again. Newspaper reports on the run-up to Christmas 2025 stated that there were months when house prices were dropping and asking … with these drops, will 2026 be theyear house prices crash?

FPTV EP 285: OVERVALUING TRICKS AND TRAPS: How to Stop Them Spoiling Your Move

When an estate agent values your home at more than you expected, it’s natural to be thrilled. But it’s wise to employ some healthy scepticism around whether a price is achievable, or an overvaluing ploy.

We're all for being bold with asking prices, but it's quite another thing to deliberately overvalue someone’s home, tie them down with a lengthy contract, and mess up their moving plans.

It’s a sad fact that overvaluing by agents is getting out of hand: seducing you with flattery rather than facts, preying on your trusting nature, and falsely boosting your hopes.

The trick involves a carefully orchestrated process of signing you up, then gradually blaming the market for the lack of progress until, eventually, a price reduction is recommended. Reluctantly, of course.

Fortunately estate agents Sophie Gibbens and Perrie McIntosh are on hand to give the right information to see right through the tactics.

It Takes 29 Days to Sell a Home in Fife

If you are a Fife homeowner or landlord thinking about selling your property, one of the first questions you will ask is simple, how long will it take?

The honest answer is that it depends. Location, property type, number of bedrooms, price point and market conditions all play a part. To give Fife homeowners some clarity, I have analysed the latest data from the 59 Fife homes, buildingplots, commercial units and mobile homes etc, that have sold subject to missives in the last three months. This covers Fife town centre plus a one-mile radius.

Of the properties that have sold subject to missives, the overall average time from coming to market to sale agreed is 29 days. This is split down as follows by type and bedrooms.

EP 212: The Wealth Creation Show: Getting a Gripof Yourself

Getting a Grip of Yourself — the show where we talk about theone thing that determines your success more than money, talent, or opportunity… you.

Today’s session is about personal control, mental discipline,and the habits that separate those who struggle financially from those who build lasting wealth.

We’re going to explore why most people stay stuck, how yourdaily decisions shape your financial future, and why mastering yourself is the first and most important step to mastering money.

This isn’t about motivation.
 It’s about responsibility.
 It’s about consistency.
 And it’s about learning how to take control ofyour time, your thoughts, and your actions.

Because once you get a grip of yourself — everything else starts to fall into place.

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 284) BUYING A TENANTED HOME: The risks and rewards for landlords

If you’re looking to start or expand your rental portfolio, buying a tenanted home can be an attractive, smooth andchain-free proposition.
As some private landlords sell up, others with newer business models are taking advantage of the shortage of rental homes and the constant high demand from tenants.

Buying a tenanted home means immediate incomefrom the day you complete, and bypassing the time-consuming tasks of renovating, marketing, and finding new tenants from scratch.

Jim Parker and Richard Cook are on hand to discuss that at the same time, inheriting a tenancy also means inheriting theoutstanding responsibilities of the previous landlord, including any mistakes they may have made around legal compliance.

13.45% of Fife Home Sales Fell Through in 2025In 2025, 13.45% of agreed property sales in Fife did not complete, and this is more important than many homeowners think.

Estate agents Sophie Gibbens and Perrie McIntosh are on hand to discuss that in Fife, where sales chains are often longer and buyers are more sensitive to price, this has a bigger impact. Agreeing a sale has never meant a guarantee, since properties are sold ‘subject to missives. Still, it may surprise you that around 1 in 7 agreed sales in the area fall through.

Fife Rents Hit £1,031 Per Month

When you look back at the average rents achieved in Fife over the last five years, from 2021 through to 2025, a clear pattern emerges.

We live in the most entertained generation in history — and yet more people feel distracted, anxious, and stuck than ever before.

In this episode of The Wealth Creation Show, we explore a quiet but uncomfortable question:

Watch the full episode when you’re ready to slow the noise, regain clarity, and think more deliberately about where your attention really goes.

2026 HOME DESIGN TRENDS: 5 of the Best for a Premium Refresh

Nobody needs to redecorate every year, but as interior designcontinues to evolve, it's always worth keeping an eye out for any home design trends you can use whenever a refresh is on the cards.

LANDLORD WINTER CHECKS: Protect Your Rental Home from the Cold

The colder months test the resilience of every property, and our team needs to be extra organised around preventative measures to give our landlords complete peace ofmind.

EP 209 THE WEALTH CREATION SHOW: Hitting theButton on Wealth Creation

There’s always that moment people talk about—the one where you finally hit the button.

Not a real button, of course. No red plastic, no satisfying click. Just a quiet, internal decision that says, “I’m done doing this the hard way forever.”

Most people imagine wealth comes from a sudden breakthrough.

But in real life, the button is rarely dramatic. It’s pressed in small, almost boring moments: choosing to learn instead of scroll, to save instead of spend, to build insteadof consume.

Hitting the button doesn’t mean you instantly become wealthy. It means you stop outsourcing your future to chance.

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 281) ADD VALUE TO EVERY ROOM: Designer tips to push up your price

Even a room of perfect proportions can look out of shape without the right presentation, which can seriously limit a home’s saleability, suppress its value, and prolong the time it takes to sell.

Interior designers know this only too well, and their days are spent exploring ways to add value to every room, including the tricky ones, for private clients and new-build show homes.

Positive perceptions and practicality are the keys to selling swiftly at the highest possible price. When they work in perfect harmony, it's far easier to win the hearts and minds of potential buyers.

With that in mind, we've compiled a collection of professional design techniques to add value to every room that needs a helping hand with estate agents Sophie Gibbens and Perrie McIntosh are on hand to make it easier.

EP 208 THE WEALTH CREATION SHOW: The Power ofAlignment

Alignment is one of the most powerful yet often overlooked forces shaping individual success, organisational effectiveness, and societal progress. When alignment is present, effort is amplified. When it is absent, even the greatest resources can be rendered ineffective.

Misalignment, on the other hand, leads to wasted effort, internal conflict, and declining morale—often without leaders fully understanding the cause.

In our personal lives, alignment determines whether we experience fulfilment or frustration. When our daily actions reflect our deeply held values, we operate with clarityand purpose.

To learn the power of alignment withing a professional and personal capacity can help propel you from your current position.

EP 207 THE WEALTH CREATION SHOW: WealthPreservation

When you’ve worked hard and invested carefully to build your wealth, you want to look after it. That’s why it’s important to understand your genuine feelings about wealthpreservation and risk from the outset.

Investing isn’t for everyone as some people don’t like the uncertainty or potential losses that stock market fluctuations can bring, and instead choose to deal with their bankmanager about savings accounts, which is perfectly fine

If, however, you are taking a longer-term view, we can look carefully at what you want your money to do for you and invest it in such a way that mitigates the impact ofchallenges such as inflation, market risk, tax demands, unexpected emergencies and care requirements.

FPTV (EP 279) SELLING IN THE NEW YEAR? Start Preparing Your Home Launch Now

If you're thinking of selling in the new year, December is the time to get everything in place for putting your home on the market when buyer activity picks up.

With a break from work to finesse your presentation and a quieter month to get valuations from agents and find your perfect match, there are lots of advantages to starting the ball rolling now.

And by getting ahead of everyone else so you’re ready to go on your ideal launch date, you'll avoid the heavily bookedNew Year diaries of photographers and agents that can delay getting started.

With that in mind, estate agents Sophie Gibbens and Perrie McIntosh have put together an action plan to help you makethe most of December and the festive season, with tips on being hot to trot for selling in the new year.

EP 206 THE WEALTH CREATION SHOW: BehaviouralEconomics

Buying and spending are rarely purely logical activities. Instead, they are driven by a complex interplay of brain chemistry, emotional triggers, and strategic marketing.

Spending often activates the brain's reward system, primarily through dopamine and many spending decisions are attempts to regulate or satisfy emotional states.

This instant pleasure reinforces the behaviour, leading the brain to associate spending with happiness. However, because this high is fleeting, it often leads to a cycle ofrepeated spending to recapture the feeling.

Do you want to learn more on the behaviours and triggers behind our spending habits and traits?

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 Parkerare on hand to discuss.
