The 3 Simple Questions to Ask Before You Believe the BS About UK Property In Sept 2020!

So welcome guys, so three simple questions that I use, before I believe any bs that I read about property market, whenever it is okay. Now, the three simple questions, there's just three. Okay, and I've broken this down over many years. And this helps me. If you like to do this if I do this before I read something, then I go on with eyes wide open. Okay, so what's the first one so the first one is simply timing. All right, so when you're reading this you want to look at what timing, are they talking about sometimes there's no time they're making statement property prices will decrease, you know, 6%, you know, now then they may say this year, so the timing they're talking about is this year. Now, did I mean this year I think I have the rest of the year so it's, you know, it might be 2020 for the last five months or it might be the whole of 2020. So you've got to find this out and work out what is the timing they're predicting, are they talking about next year, over the next five years, have they not really said property prices are gonna go down to 10 15%, and there's no timing. Okay. It was an open ended claim, you know, so this is the first thing I look at is what's the timing for this because I want to know where I'm actually positioned in time. And when I do that, then I can, you know, work out the relevance of that information and see whether it's pertinent to my situation this is the key here. All right, this whole game isn't about the predictions they're making is the predictions I made my thing might have nothing to do with your portfolio. If they're talking about London versus your portfolio is all in Manchester, you know, that could mean or if they're talking about UK wide when actually you're in one little area, maybe you don't listen to that maybe you go and find the information on your particular area get local as I say, all right, so timings the first one. The second one is the conditions, and the conditions is a bit open ended so it could be isn't London Manchester isn't the whole of the UK. Is it for instance, the nationwide mortgage, Paul. In other words they're looking at their customers, you know, which might be a certain socio economic versus your customers or your tenants or your whatever or your mortgages are related to a totally different types and you may be better to go to, you know, Halifax, or whatever. Okay, so that's where, if you look at the conditions the other conditions are is are they saying anything where they go. Price has dropped 20%. If this happens, so then you have to go Hold on a sec. Let me now explore, if this, what does that mean, what's the likelihood of that happening, isn't going to happen, you know, couldn't change. Yeah. So look at the conditions, and when you start looking through these if you like glasses these filters, all of a sudden now you start becoming a lot more reflective about, hold on a sec, you know, because a lot of this media is written in such a way where it says, If this happens, this will happen, not this is going to happen. Yeah, not this is certainty and I can tell you. Most experts are wrong. Most of the time, you know, and in my book, pretty Tabriz how house prices. Right explain that I show you how, you know, over a few years we tracked experts and most experts were wrong. Most of the time. Okay. And that's the reality what gets column inches what gets the media is the guy that says 30% up. And the guy that says 30% down, not the guy that every year after year says 5% 5% 3% 8% drop 3% 5% 3%, they tend not to get noticed. Alright, because papers media wants sensationalism. So, timing is the first one, conditions is the next one. And the final one is motivation. Yeah, if this is a newspaper or an article written by somebody who is in the shares game, and they're slagging off property, you know, what's their motivation of course in other talk property because they make their money from shares, you know if they're an educational, you know magazine that sells share tips, of course, are going to rubbish our property that is what happens if they're a property company, and they're talking about how great property is and how bad she is going to be motivation. Now, a lot of people say to me but hold on what about qualification Surely it's better to listen to someone with lots of qualifications, you know, degrees and letters after name and a lot of stuff, you know I have a member of our member of the real estate agency so basically property sales and property management have two qualifications, yeah. The reality is, it's a great qualification level three qualification I'm currently doing level four as well. But the reality is, qualifications for me. Just show intelligence for a lot of things, it doesn't actually show the ability to be able to apply that into a real setting. Okay, so for some, some aspects really qualifications. Plus, Market knowledge and experience and years in market, and the ability to write lots of articles and books and things like this that generally shows a much better attitude towards taking the situation and applying it to real life. Yeah, you know that you're making predictions is a hard thing, and it is hard because a lot of it I do a lot of, you know, I spend a lot of time reading I spend a lot of time, bringing information in listening to you know markets mentors and my peer group all that sort of stuff. And I kind of through that get a sense where, and that's the sort that's where I make decisions on where we go in terms of where we invest the areas we invest the strategies we adopt all that sort of things. Okay, but all the time whenever somebody says something to me. I think what's the timing they're saying, what are the conditions they're putting on that. Okay. And it may be conditions that they're not even saying it may be conditions I go yes they're saying that because, and then motivation when I look at those three things. Generally, I'm able to assess that prediction assess that opinion in a much better manner.
