The key dates coming up in the cost-of-living crisis.

5 September

Following weeks of debates, soundbites and policy announcements, 5 September will finally see either Liz Truss or Rishi Sunak announced as the new prime minister.

Both Truss and Sunak have said they will say more about helping millions struggling with their finances if – or when – they become the new PM.

Truss, who is expected to win, has been tighter lipped about what help she would be willing to offer.

With the cost-of-living crisis being at the front and centre of the new leader’s workload, more details about how they plan to deal with the crisis can be expected shortly after they take office.

Johnson confirmed that the public should expect the announcement of new help, telling reporters on Tuesday: "There’s a huge amount coming... what the government is also going to do is provide a further package of support for helping people with the cost of energy."

14 September

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) will release the next set of UK inflation figures on 14 September.

Already at a 40-year high, inflation is expected to rise from the 10.1% figure from July, piling pressure on the nation's finances.

Higher inflation means higher prices – and will come at a time when people are already struggling to pay their bills.

15 September

The next interest rate announcement from the Bank of England will be on 15 September – and it is expected to rise from 1.75% as it tries to deal with high inflation.

People who have applied for loans to help ease the financial burden could face larger repayments as the result of any rise – predicted to be another 0.5%.

Millions of households paying standard variable rate mortgages will also see their monthly payments increase.

September/October

The new PM is expected to announce a new emergency package to help struggling households in the first few weeks of their premiership.

A date will be announced once the winner is in place, but pressure will be on to deal with crisis quickly.

1 October

The start of October will be when the energy price cap increases to £3,459 – the price for the annual bill for a typical household.

The cap comes as temperatures are set to dip as autumn bites – meaning putting the heating on will be an extremely costly experience.

The price cap was previously changed twice a year, but Ofgem is now allowed to review it every three months with changes expected in January, April, July and October 2023.

1 January

The energy price cap will be adjusted again at the end of the year, with experts predicting a rise to over £5,000.

Such a huge increase could mean any measures announced to help the poorest already being insufficient – meaning the government may need to step in once again.

The new price cap will likely be announced in mid to late November and be implemented from 1st January 2023.

We’ve helped a lot of Scottish homeowners sell their houses.🏠🏠🏠

Preparing your home for buyers is critical if you decide to sell to us or go through an estate agency.

It will not only ensure your property is sold faster but can potentially add thousands of pounds to its value

1. Invest [If you can]

Your biggest return on investment comes from your kitchen and bathrooms.

The quickest, most inexpensive updates include painting and new cabinet hardware.

Don’t leave dishes in the sink, keep the toilets sparkling, and make sure there are no dust bunnies in the corners.

2. Showcase

Arrange your furniture to best showcase the floor plan and maximise the use of space.
Replace any old lampshades or add new floor lamps in rooms that are darker. Make sure that all of your lights are working, especially in darker areas like basements, dens, and rooms without windows.
Update your walls with a neutral-colour paint so you can present buyers with a blank canvas where they can start envisioning their own furniture.

3. Declutter

Storage is something every buyer is looking for and can never have enough of.

Empty out half your closets, then neatly organise what’s left.

Buyers will snoop, so be sure to keep all your closets and cabinets clean and tidy.

4. De-personalise

Placing your home on the market requires objectivity.

Store away family photos, memorabilia collections and religious artefacts.

The fewer personal items in your home, the more buyers can imagine themselves living there.

5. Light it Up

Good lighting is one of the biggest desires that most buyers are looking for. Think about it.

Have you ever walked into a house and said, “This house is so dark” or "Wow, it’s so bright!”?

It’s just one of those things you notice right away.

Fixing the lighting in your home is one of the easiest but most effective upgrades you can make.

Best of all, it doesn’t cost a lot of money and it’s a quick fix.

Take down any old, dark drapes and clean all of your windows inside and out.

Replace all of your light bulbs with higher wattage bulbs using a warm white colour.

Cut any overgrown plants outside that might be blocking any sunlight.

Replace any old lamp shades or add new floor lamps in rooms that are darker. Make sure that all of your lights are working, especially in darker areas like basements, dens, and rooms without windows.

Can’t be bothered to do all this and just want to sell your home NOW? Give us a quick call on: 01414827013

As a homeowner, you may be in a position where selling your home is your “only” option. We know this can be one of the hardest decisions you can make.🏠

Not doing anything is one of the worst financial decisions you can make.

It can lead to issues with your credit history and even repossession or bankruptcy.👨‍⚖️

We put together some information to let you know that you do have options and we’re here to help in any way we can.

1. Estate Agents

Almost 90% of homes sold in the UK are listed by an estate agent.

They can take the time to find a qualified buyer but will likely achieve the best market price for your sale if;

- Your house is mortgageable.

- Your house is in great condition and sells itself against the rest of the market.

- You would likely get approval from a surveyor.

HOWEVER, this normally takes a long time. The average sale takes 4-6 months.

2. Auction

An auction sale can provide a seller with a sale without having to make any major or minor repairs.

Typically an auction can take up to 3 months.

This includes the wait for the next auction and then up to 8 weeks in completion.

In an auction, a home sells in its current condition. So it can be a good fit for houses that are not mortgageable.

There are a few different types of home auction so please be careful that it meets your needs before going down this route.

Most buyers at auction are investors and buy in cash or with bridge funding and buy at auction to get a discounted price.

There are no guarantees or selling at auction and you could find yourself back at square one if your house doesn't sell.

3. Investor Sale

Selling to an investor can be one of the BETTER ways for getting out of the ownership of

a home fast.

A reputable investor can help you avoid repossession on your home and deal with your finance company.

Investors will generally buy any type of home and have access to cash at all times.

Investors generally purchase homes in any condition, including houses that aren't mortgageable.

Sellers can also negotiate with an investor to remain on the property until completion, or, in some scenarios, even beyond.

You will receive the same amount from Kraken Home Buyers as we would pay at an auction for your house.

We calculate the price in a very transparent way.

Here are some advantages to selling your home to an investor:

- Speed. Skip the 6-month listing and viewing phases of the sale

- No time-consuming inspections.

- No obligation offers in as little as 24 hours

- No need to spend a penny on fees.

- No costly repairs are needed to sell.

- Investors will buy property in any condition.

- Avoid costly estate agency or auction fees.

- Avoid repossession

- No legal fees

- Get an Offer FAST

I know this can be a stressful process.

If you have any questions about what lies ahead please reach out to me before it’s too late.

We guarantee a cash offer on your home within 48 hours. Give us a quick call on 01414827013

If you are moving abroad and want to sell your house before you leave then there are lots of things you need to consider: 🏠

👉Do you need to complete by a certain date due to work, school or other commitments?

If so, can you afford to rent in your new location if your house sale hasn’t gone through?

👉Is there a minimum price you need to achieve for the property?

Some countries require you to have a guaranteed moving date before you can purchase a property in the country.

👉Do you require this?

👉Do you need to book an international removal company? How much notice do they need?

We provide a guaranteed cash offer for your home, a sale completion date to fit in with your needs, no legal fees and no fee to use our service.

We also provide a hassle-free way to sell your property with minimal effort.

If you are emigrating and buying a property you should familiarise yourself with the property laws in the country you are moving to.🏠

👉Many countries have different laws to Scotland, England or Wales.

You may find yourself legally bound by an offer you have made (when you wouldn’t be in your home country) or you may need to provide a firm moving date when making an offer on a property.

We buy property for cash from people like you.

They often choose us because we can give them a firm completion date and work to any timescale set.

This is something that selling through the traditional estate agent route can’t offer.

This complete security has allowed sellers to buy or rent overseas, certain of a sale.
