It’s time to wise up to estate agents’ tacticsWith the property market slowing, agents are hungrier than ever for their commissions. Here’s our guide to the tricks you need to out-think themAs the property market goes into a deep freeze in some parts of the country, just how desperate is your estate agent? The answer is an average of £5,500 a month more desperate than a year ago.Analysis shows that the average estate agent’s monthly commission, gleaned from sales, was 23 per cent lower last month than in August 2022 — down from £24,132 to £18,667.TwentyCi, the property data company, came to the figure by taking into account the 19 per cent fall in property exchanges in the year to August, a fall in average commission from 1.1 to 1 per cent and the 5.3 per cent drop in sales prices recorded by Nationwide earlier this month.According to Stuart Ducker, a TwentyCi statistician, this represents an annual hit for the industry of £708 million in lost commissions.The property market is slowing in part because of the mortgage crisis, which is taking a massive bite out of would-be buyers’ incomes, reducing demand and budgets and leading to some previously overheated areas — particularly in the southeast — receiving price corrections.PropCast, an analytics company that creates a weather forecast-style analysis of the housing market, has found that the number of postcodes going “cold” — where fewer than 35 out of every 100 for-sale properties are under offer — has risen from 363 in July to 494 today. The July figure was, itself, 467 per cent higher than two years ago.As the market cools, hyper-local factors remain more important than ever if you want to sell your home, such as the proximity of excellent schools. But there are clear geographical trends too: six out of the ten coldest areas are in London where prices are hardest for cash-strapped buyers to stretch to, with the City of Westminster now the coldest property market in the country. The warmest areas are centred around Bristol (with five out of the top ten) and other booming regional cities such as Sheffield (two of the entries on the list).Estate agents hungry for their commissions are fighting like wolves over a decreasing choice of prey — and, if you’re one of their precious catches, you need to be wise to their tricks to beat them.Beware of agents who price too high and then drive you down In a slow market, a tactic deployed by some agents is to launch your property onto the market at a high price, and then persuade you to lower it.Charlie Lamdin, founder of the property comparison site BestAgent, says many of the bigger agents play this game to capture naive sellers and so deprive smaller competitors of potential custom.“These bigger agencies can afford to only sell 30 per cent of the homes on their books, but the smaller ones can’t because they need the commission to keep going, and so they have to price more realistically so the properties sell,” he says.Sellers who are caught out by this tactic often find their overpriced home in a death spiral. Natalie Ribeiro, 30, is one such seller. Ribeiro bought her flat in Sevenoaks, Kent, for £180,000 in the summer of 2018, and says she was advised by her local agent to put it on the market in July last year for £215,000, despite her own suspicions.“But you know when the agent says to you: ‘Oh you know, I think you could get this’, then you think: ‘Well if you think that, that’s great. You’re the expert. Sure I’ll take your word for it, I’ll give it a go,’” she says.By March, with viewings reduced to a “trickle”, she decided to drop the price herself to £205,000 and then again in July to £199,000. She claims she was never advised to do so.Last month she decided to switch to another agent. When she emailed her agent to tell them, she received a reply saying it had been overpriced all along. “I have looked at all the other properties in [her area],” the email said. It listed two properties sold in her area. “Both were priced substantially below your asking price.” Her property is now listed with Andrews.Ribeiro adds: “I was, like, ‘Argh! You advised me to put it at £215,000 and every time I dropped it it was at my request, they never advised me to drop it at any stage — in fact, we told them to drop it. That really annoyed me.’”As well as persuading you to give them your custom by putting your home on for too much, desperate agents will frequently back this up by making you sign sole agency agreements — sometimes for as long as six months — with penalties if you want to leave.How much is too much to ask?Lamdin has also complained that agents are not transparent about the proportion of homes they sell which would, of course, help you know how much to put your property on the market for. But there are things you can do.For example, research what price properties in your area have been sold for using searchable data freely available on Rightmove, which will help you know how to pitch yours.A big clue as to your agent’s effectiveness can be gleaned by finding out how long the average property is on the market for at each branch: you can do this by using a tool provided by Zoopla, where you can also find what reductions have taken place.When you’re putting your property up for sale, you should always get comparative valuations from three agents, and never take the highest. Check the evidence carefully: every agent should provide documentary proof of properties sold at the price they’re suggesting for you in order to substantiate their valuation.My house won’t sell. When should I drop the price?Once you’ve gone ahead and put your property on the market, monitor its progress carefully. The first month is crucial in working out whether the price is right: what’s important is if there’s much interest in viewing the house, if you’re getting any offers and, crucially, whether your agent is bothering to engage with you.“In these times, it is essential to prevent it becoming a stale and over-exposed asset,” Thea Carroll, who runs a buying agency, says.But whether you decide to drop your price, or by how much, is about more than just the money. You need to examine your personal circumstances carefully. “What are your goals? What are your timelines? Do you have a hard stop at Christmas, a new term or a job starting?” Guy Robinson, head of residential at Strutt & Parker, says. “Or can you actually wait until spring, or even Easter? Working out what is important to you will help frame when you revise your price, and by how much.”The most successful sellers think strategically in this way — like Cassandra King, 51, who runs a floral design company in Teddington, southwest London.She put her parents’ two-bedroom cottage in nearby St Margarets onto the market for £775,000 in January with Antony Roberts, a local agent, knowing it was a little less expensive than other comparable homes, but knowing that her parents needed to sell the house to fund their retirement. It was under offer by the end of March.“When I sold my last flat it became really obvious that people [agents] were trying to give you inflated prices so you ended up signing with them. I just think it’s a complete waste of time,” she says.“We deliberately chose to go with a more independent-style agent because it was a more honest experience. My view is to put the property on for lower, and then you get more bids.”Others haven’t been so lucky. Parents-of-two Dan Freedman, 41, and his wife, Natalia, 43, have still not managed to sell their property in Woodside Park, north London, despite putting it on the market nearly eight months ago and cutting the price by £50,000. Several sales have fallen through.“If we drop too much we stand to make very little compared with what we paid seven years ago,” he says. “It’s definitely a painful process.”If you do drop your price you should always be bold and make a significant cut to get you noticed online — preferably more than 10 per cent.[...]

Arenda [ 1 ] es un término latino , pasado a finales de la Edad Media al polaco , húngaro , ucraniano y rumano para designar un affermage , arrendamiento de "inmovilizaciones" o prerrogativas [lo que se traduce en tradición continental como bienes reales] de la nobleza polaca , rumana o más raramente húngara en la unión polaco- lituano , en los principados danubianos y en menor medida en la Hungría medieval .El término fue adoptado con el mismo significado en yiddish del siglo XVI y en hebreo , a partir de la variante arendash o "arendache" ( arendasz, rendos , арэндаш, arendaș ) para designar al beneficiario del arrendamiento [ 2 ] .Este término se refiere al alquiler de ingresos públicos y a los monopolios. En la unión polaco-lituana y en el principado de Moldavia , los agricultores eran a menudo judíos que gestionaban los ingresos procedentes de arrendamientos agrícolas: tierras, molinos, posadas, cervecerías, destilerías, comercio de menta, minas de sal, propiedades agrícolas, derechos especiales como el cobro de derechos de aduana y impuestos.

EU Finance Ministers Closer to Breakthrough on Debt RulesCommissioner Gentiloni cites important, positive developmentSpanish economy minister renews push for deal by end of yearEuropean Union finance ministers are moving closer to an agreement this year on implementing new fiscal rules as Germany and Italy show readiness to compromise after months of sparring over how to rein in the bloc’s debt.“There is a will to accelerate, to find an accord and to eventually reach a compromise,” Paolo Gentiloni, the EU’s economy chief, said on the sidelines of a meeting of finance chiefs in Santiago de Compostela, Spain on Saturday. “This is an important and positive development.”This was echoed by Spanish Economy Minister Nadia Calvino, who told a news conference at the end of the event that member states have committed to agree on new fiscal rules this year. She earlier told reporters there is agreement on about 70% of the European Commission’s legislative reform proposals for the Stability and Growth Pact.(...)The rules were suspended during the Covid-19 pandemic and then again until the end of 2023 due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine to allow governments more leeway for crisis spending. They are due to be reinstated in January, and the EU’s executive arm wants member states to reach a deal this year.The sticking point has been whether to apply automatic and uniform rules to all member states. The debate highlighted divisions between Germany and its allies who want less flexibility, and more dovish countries like France and Italy that are concerned excessive pressure to reduce debt quickly could jeopardize economic growth.
Frontier Airlines CEO thinks workers got ‘lazy’ during the pandemic: ‘Seriously, people are still allowing people to work from home’Barry Biffle, president and CEO of Frontier Airlines, speaks at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Aviation Summit in Washington, D.C., March 5, 2020. (Zach Gibson/Bloomberg via Getty Images / Getty Images)It isn’t just Tesla founder Elon Musk that thinks workers (or more specifically, remote workers) are “lazy”—Frontier Airlines chief executive, Barry Biffle, recently weighed in on the debate.“We got lazy in COVID,” the budget airline boss complained at an investor conference hosted by Morgan Stanley on Wednesday. “I mean seriously, people are still allowing people to work from home. All this silliness, right? All that’s out the window.”Like many businesses, Biffle said that Frontier Airlines is responding to dampened demand amid the economic slowdown by doubling down on cutting costs and boosting productivity—but, he insisted, his business woes reflect a “society-wide” phenomenon.“We’re not alone in this. You hear every company out there talking about productivity challenges,” he added.Without specifying what actions the company might take, Biffle, who has more than 20 years of aviation industry experience, outlined the issues currently facing his company: A dip in demand for domestic flights, increasing fuel costs, and more staff on payroll post-pandemic.“When we look at overhead versus 2019 adjusted for capacity, it’s up dramatically,” Biffle said. “Why do I have more people per plane in overhead than I had in 2019? It’s because they’re not as productive.”Frontier Airlines didn’t respond to Fortune’s request for comment.(...)

Niño Becerra hace temblar a todos los españoles por lo que sucederá con sus ahorros: "Acabarán por desaparecer"El economista habla de la pérdida de poder adquisitivo y de recurrir a los fondos propios... que no permite vislumbrar un futuro alentador para el ahorradorMARCA | Redacción tiramillas | 2023.09.16Niño Becerra lanza un serio aviso de lo que sucederá con los ahorros de los españoles. RR.SS.Con el economista Santiago Niño Becerra... 'el que avisa no es traidor'. El especialista suele dejar mensajes duros y previsores en materia económica sobre España (fue quien anunció la gran crisis de 2008 que finalmente explotó). Y en esta ocasión vuelve a dejar su particular sello. Un hilo que puede dejar una honda preocupación para los españoles y sus bolsillos. Porque en esta ocasión ha profundizado al respecto del futuro de los ahorros."Si la inflación no baja y el poder adquisitivo no se recupera, el ahorro acabará por desaparecer al producirse una cierta redistribución negativa de ingresos", ha explicado en su cuenta personal de 'X'. antigua Twitter.https://twitter.com/sninobecerra/status/1699397926714274275Y lo ha argumentado con una base. Sobre unos gráficos del diario 'El economista'. Según éstos, la media de ahorro de los españoles en la actualidad, teniendo en cuenta la inflación, se sitúa en un 11,8%. Mientras que la eurozona entre 2015 y 2019 mostraba un ahorro de aproximadamente 12,6%.Los está comparando con el segundo semestre de 2020 y en aquel instante, la media de ahorro de los españoles era del 25%. O sea, 13 puntos porcentuales más que en la actualidad. Y todo ello conlleva concluir que la escalada de precio de la cesta de la compra ha obligado a los ciudadanos a utilizar ahorros para poder seguir manteniendo el nivel de vida que tenían. Y todo lleva a que la mayoría de los trabajadores han sufrido una pérdida de poder adquisitivo.

Sin embargo, la evolución fue dispar por CCAA, ya que creció en cinco y bajó en las 12 restantes. Destacaron los aumentos en Asturias (34,1%), Extremadura (9,6%) y Aragón (9,5%) y los retrocesos en La Rioja (-26,1%), Castilla y León (-23,2%) y Madrid (-17,5%).La estadística notarial también confirma que el porcentaje de compras de viviendas financiadas mediante un préstamo hipotecario se situó en el 45,9% en el séptimo mes del año. Además, en este tipo de compras con financiación, la cuantía del préstamo supuso en media el 70,2% del precio.Baja también el precio medio Según los notarios, el precio medio del metro cuadrado se situó en julio en 1.617 euros/m2 registrándose un descenso interanual del 4,6%, lastrado sobre todo por los chalets. Los precios de los pisos tuvieron un descenso del 3,3%, hasta alcanzar los 1.821 €/m2, mientras que el precio de las viviendas tipo unifamiliar promedió los 1.271 €/m2, registrando una caída del 7%.No obstante, en este caso los números rojos no se han impuesto en todo el territorio: seis CCAA han registrado un encarecimiento en el precio de la vivienda. Se trata de Baleares (18,7%), el País Vasco (7,1%), Comunidad Valenciana (4,9%), Navarra (3%), La Rioja (1,0%) y Cataluña (0,4%).En cambio, los precios de la vivienda registraron retrocesos en Castilla y León (-13%), Extremadura (-9,5%), Aragón (-9%), Galicia (-6,6%), Asturias (-6,2%), Madrid (-3,8%), Canarias (-3,6%), Castilla-La Mancha (-2,2%), Andalucía (-0,6%), Murcia (-0,1%) y Cantabria (-0,1%).
