04 Mar Latest from Just Us, your top London Mortgage broker..
2013 has got off to a positive start with rising stock markets across the world and better lending from UK mortgage companies as the Funding for Lending scheme kicks in.
Maybe the doom and gloom is passing!
Today at Just Us, we’re pondering “What If John Craven lied to us…”
John Craven presented a children’s TV news programme in the early 1980s. Today we’re hearing all about stagnation, triple dips, the slowdown of technological development and insurmountable debt. John Craven told us, as innocents of the early 80’s, that worldwide oil would be gone by 2010 and a biblical drought of natural resources would be upon us.
That hasn’t turned out right has it?
If John Craven got it wrong (as massive oil reserves and shale gas exploration abounds and as the USA is set to become a net EXPORTER of oil!) can you envisage a brighter future?
Let’s give him the benefit of the doubt and say he made an honest mistake.
Let’s just say the fact that he now presents Countryfile on Sunday evenings was a sideways career move.
What’s the truth about financial investment?
The point is – our eyes and ears are bombarded – even as children. It’s vitally important we pay close attention to what we absorb – and the “facts” we have accepted as the norm.
At Just Us, we regularly see this with personal finances as people latch onto sensationalist and usually negative press stories and fail to recognise longer term trends. The probability is that over the next 20 years the Credit Crunch is going to be consigned to history. In its place will emerge the powerhouse of the Chinese, Indian, Brazilian and other Asian economies. Africa remains virtually untapped. America and Europe will have plenty to say about all this. Medical and technological advances – are you betting on more – or less – going forwards? There is plenty more wealth to be created.
So – how will the next 20 years look for you – and your family?

Remember, there are three main stages to investing:
- Get on before the curve has really taken shape – for the brave, clever or downright lucky!
- Get on along the way (the earlier the better) – as the evidence mounts
- Wait until you are absolutely completely convinced there is no risk and that everyone else is doing it – whatever “it” is. Also known as the peak and possibly too late!
We’re proud to be a top London Mortgage Broker and as such we are as determined as ever to deliver more than you could possibly expect from us during 2013.
Next month we’ll be sharing a video on how to negotiate. We hope you’ll find it useful in your march towards greater personal prosperity.
