A new property portal is to launch in the New Year, claiming to offer the future for the industry by catering for both the spiritual and practical needs of buyers and sellers.
As well as providing legal and financial assistance, the site will help people feel the vibes about any home they are thinking of buying.
Offering everything from feng shui and house astrology to energy clearance and house blessings, the site will offer unlimited property listings to agents at £10 per month per branch.
FLP Properties says it is keeping the costs as low as possible, in view of the charges by some other portals.
It says it has put together a team of people to ‘provide every kind of conceivable help to those buying or selling their property’.
The company’s key feature is a team of Future Life Progression practitioners who can guide a client’s ‘travel to the future, helping them to make decisions in the now about what property they buy’.
There is also a free app that will help people to see their future home through a guided meditation.
Company founder is Anne Jirsch, who describes herself as ‘a world renowned intuitive who names politicians and celebrities amongst her clients’ although sadly she doesn’t (name them, that is).
Based in an old office in Bray, Berkshire, she is also a leading Future Life Progressionist, whose book on the subject reached number one in Japan.
She said: “Across the world, people are becoming more aware than ever before of the energies at work around them.
“More and more people are now looking for spiritual help to guide them through their lives and make the most of the extraordinary time they spend on Earth.
“This is particularly true of life’s big moments, and buying your first property or moving house certainly counts amongst them.
“FLP Properties is designed to offer all services anyone would need when dealing with property issues, uniquely bringing the most practical together with those spiritual tools which can help people make sure they will find happiness in their home.”
She said there are now 200 qualified FLP practitioners in eight countries, including 160 in the UK and eight in Japan, who can help clients ‘see’ their future homes.
She said that estate agents approached so far have been extremely enthusiastic about the concept.
The site is in beta mode but EAT found it quite eye-opening, not to mention faintly unnerving, to see all the services you can buy in the interests of making a spiritual home purchase.
There’s everything from home astrology (find the perfect time to buy), to paranormal investigations (what’s really behind the door – yikes!), and Vastu Shastra (harmony between man and nature), as well as boring old things like removals, EPCs, surveys and mortgages.

Oh, dear... just came across this thread on a Google search, and...
FLP seems no longer to exist.
Guess they never saw THAT coming... ;o)
Future Life Properties are not in competition with major property portals. We are unique and on a different playing field with different team plays and spectators. Look at our website.
Our aim is to cater for every possible property related service you can think of and who can deny that our Oriental and Asian friends employ feng shui and vastu techniques when buying property. Who can deny that other ideas and beliefs on our site are not connected to a multi billion pound industry with huge followers nationwide and international.
We are not only a property portal but a business to business networking portal that will boost estate agents profits who use our networking ideas and cross sell with us. We will show you how to make and share profits with us. Do other major portals do that or do they just grab your money.
Yes, we are different, Yes, we are connected to multi billion pound industry and yes, estate agents can be part of that big business. Its your choice.
Open your eyes to the here and now, to the green future, and to consumer awareness which we are really about. Look at our website and don't judge until you have done so and then think about joining us.
We even have an estate agent resource centre where you can take control and speed up your sale with documents which you can download. We can assist homebuyers with self help letters throughout their ownership with a realistically priced litigation service if there are any property disputes. We have so much to offer. All our services are professional.
We are also a caring company looking out for the health and well being of home buyers with added fun of our life progression app bringing a bit of hope and fun to a well trodden down property market.
We already have estate agents all over the country who are interested in joining us and like our ideas and wish to be part of our network.
Pee Bee, we like you, get in touch with us. James, get in touch with us we can win you over.
Tis true PeeBee, five years later i'm still lingering like a bad smell.
I'd say this service is too niche to have popular appeal; more a gimmick than a business idea.
Suffice it to say, we can revisit this in another five years.
Sibley's... we meet to spar again, mon ami! ;o)
I wouldn't count on your crystal balls. Last time they told you anything, it was that you'd be buying a detached mansionette in Julember 2008 when 'The Crash' reached it's peak (trough)...!
Sorry, bud - I couldn't resist!
Truth is - we simply DON'T know - do we?
No doubt we'll be debating it again in a year or so...
My crystal balls tell me this outfit won't be around for too long.
My sister has qualifications in karate and feng shui.
If you are looking for assistance to rearrange someone's face, she's the one to contact.
Banter wins the day
James -
Of course I am!
However, even if you are not, your comments are contradictory and serve to give the clear indication that YOUR mentality will or can not embrace such a concept as this.
I can't bring myself to 'embrace' it per se - but I'm sure as hell not mocking it as you did in your first post! It would become part of my marketing armoury if sufficient demand dictated, and I would have no hesitation in using it to my and my customers' best advantage, whilst staying within the Law, of course.
Anyway - if you are NOT an Agent, then you have obviously not labelled yourself as a self-indulgent, narrow-minded, blinkered egomaniac as I suggested, and I apologise for mislabelling you.
Instead, however, youwill have labelled yourself as a narrow-minded, blinkered, uninformed near-bigot with an unreasonable and unsubstantiatable opinion of the great majority of Estate Agents.
Either way is fine with me... you choose! ;o)
Pee Bee
Are you assuming I am an estate agent???
James. Do you remember the late '70s/early 80's TV comedy "Soap"? The one that launched Billy Crystal' career.
Here's the thing - two posts from you on this subject. The first:
"I bet Big Bird, Elmo, Kermit and the Pig are amongst them
It's time to lift the curtain - it's time to light the lights..........
hohoho"
The second:
"The trouble is agents are self indulgent, self important, not sideways thinking, narrow minded ego maniacs... - and their mentalities will not allow them to embrace new concepts such as this."
Now - what was my point?
Oh yes - "Soap".
At the end of every episode, the announcer said
"Confused...? You WILL be!"
And, boy, I AM confused by those statements!
I think you may have just labelled yourself as a self-indulgent, narrow-minded, blinkered egomaniac - unless of course you can convince me that I've somehow misunderstood you...
Congratulations, James - by reminding me of that programme, you've regressed me by thirty-odd years! You clearly don't need any help whatsoever from the website of discussion! ;o)
Do you think the fact that I would have arrived by levitation rather than in my car would get me the job???
Sorry, I cannot resist
The trouble is agents are self indulgent, self important, not sideways thinking, narrow minded ego maniacs who truly believe they are something special in their communities because their signs are everywhere - and their mentalities will not allow them to embrace new concepts such as this.
Many are doomed before they start
PS Zoopla are quadrupling their costs by all accounts now that they are merged with DPG!!!!!!
James. I should be laughing with you on this one - but I'm not.
I don't even know why - but I think this idea might have legs. Maybe jelly ones - but legs it has. That's twice I've said that in as many weeks.
Thing is, all this spooky stuff, fengfongfung whassname and other associated atrocities on sensibility scares the bejesus outta me - but I can't deny that they have a following.
And I think that anyone who simply ignores or scoffs at that following may just miss a trick that COULD make them a bob or two.
Humour me on this one, please...
You turn up to an appraisal; the reek of burning incense melts your nasal septum at the gate. There are eleventeen onyx elephants standing on the windowsill, all pointing to the door in OCD regimented fashion. Instead of 'Hello', you are greeted by the vendor - in leotard - wishing you a pleasant visit to his/her "humble but happy" home. On the TV is that Sally Whatshername, telling yet another 'celebrity' that their dead relative is warning them to keep away from the red car down the street. Vendor immediately crosses fingers and spins round three times chanting "Let ill fortune stay clear of my doorstep".
Question is - how would YOU differentiate your service to this vendor from the next, or previous, Agent through that door?

It's time to lift the curtain - it's time to light the lights..........
hohoho
Country Lass:
CONGRATULATIONS - to you and Country Lad!
That's the best news I've read on EAT all year!!
;o)
Had some other things going on PeeBee, one of which will arrive in about 3 months, so I've been working as hard as I can to pay for the little thing!
I've never really thought about it, I have offered her holistic therapy services to particurlary stressed vendors before now, but the idea of offering a blessing hasn't crossed my mind. Mainly as I know they would be expecting a show, and I tend to be a bit more upfront. Partly as I think that it's the placebo effect that helps as much as anything else. I am planning on 'clearing' the nursery though...
LOL! Speak of the Angel (I wouldn't DARE risk the 'D' word when referring to you, my dear... ;o) )!
Your fingers are obviously far quicker on keyboard than mine, Country Lass!
An interesting take on the subject. Question is, would your family's knowledge and experience gain you sales or instructions?
(OOPS - sorry - two questions, actually...) And how would people who would benefit from that knowledge and experience find you?
This is starting to get interesting...
AoS - THANK YOU!!
Firstly, I am so pleased that I am not alone in my thoughts - for one cotton pickin' minute I wondered if ole PeeBee had finally succmbed to the strain of the property world after so long...
Secondly, I am grateful that one of the reliable and trustworthy 'old soldiers' of this site took the time to comment with what I always consider to be a balanced and informed viewpoint.
My missus is into all this spooky stuff. I simply don't know. I don't really WANT to 'believe' - because I work very much on science and fact, not belief.
But, scientists 'believe' in something - therefore they set out to prove their belief.
And, as we have both pointed out, for many including my missus (who, lets face it, has the final say...) this website would give them something that THEY believe in to pin their hopes of a successful sale/purchase on...
Thanks again, matey! You aren't on here enough these days...
How about Jonnie? Or wardy? What about Industry Observer... Anonymous Coward? And the valued opinion of Country Lass (I thought you'd left us for good until I saw a post a couple of days ago...)? What about the thoughts of our HPC friends, Sibley's... and rant?
What do you good people think?
Oh, I am aware, trust me, my mother is a spiritualist healer. It's probably why I don't really see the need for the website, as I know that I an most of my family have the knowledge and equipment to do parts of this, and access to the bits I can't.
Although the'house blessings' bit does strike me more as a 'party planner' service...
But hey, if they make money, fair play to them!
Peebee - absolutely with you.
I met a lady who is heavily into this stuff...it does nothing for me, but each to their own. You wouldn't believe, courses in fairies, guardian angels and she was even open to the fact the unicorns exist (I did ask "where" and "have you actually seen one?").
Floods of people attend these groups and pay good money for it too. If you went to this women and her group pals. Would they be interested? Definitely.
I think this topic is all a bunch of rhubarb, but she tells me just how massive the following is. Its true and I firmly believe her.
While it is ridiculous to us, if the followers of this topic(s) had the option of a niche portal to match their own beliefs, do you think they would use it?
I think those who dismissed this didn't check the website and are unaware of the following these areas actually have.
Hmmm...
Here's the thing. Has anyone actually LOOKED at this website?
It LOOKS bl00dy good!
It offers a MASSIVE range of 'services' to sellers, buyers, landlords and tenants alike.
It 'feels' user-friendly.
I laughed when I read the story. I'm not laughing so much now. Do I believe in any of that stuff - not on your Nelly.
...but there are plenty of people that DO. And those people will very probably be involved with the acquisition or disposal of property at some point in time, will they not?
I think this lady might actually be on to something - and for once I'm not immediately dismissing it as bunkum.
If this site was instrumental in some way, shape or form in the successful sale of one property, then the vendor is going to benefit; the purchaser is going to benefit; the Agent will benefit and the site will be able to put out another press release announcing the success - which will no doubt kick the cycle off again!
Is it a case of "in it to win it"? I don't know - whether the cost would be justified by the RoI is the question. Who knows? But then you all stay on RM/Zoopla for fear of losing instructions - so why is this portal any different?
It's a niche - no doubt. But a niche that will make SOME vendors feel "special" - and that's what they ALL want!
I'd be interested to hear what others think... but AFTER checking out the site.
Ha, ha. I will take my £120 per year and use it to market my brand to local sellers.
Good luck. With all due respect I think you'll need it.
Spiritual property portal???
Harry Potter & The Prisoner Of Over Valued Property
Is it April 1st? *Checks Calendar*
I think this is FABULOUS (imagine Jazz Hands here)...
Now that is what I call thinking outside the box!
For online agents agents this kind of linked selling is going to be essential.
£995 for selling
£200 solicitors
£100 mortgage
£100 removals
£100 insurances
£ 25 Virgin Media
£100 Decorator
£100 Utility Warehouse
£100 Carpet Fitter
£100 Feng-Shui
£500 Life Coach + ongoing business
Total = MEGA money
I wonder whether feeling the vibes falls under the definition of specified matter under the PMA or whether under the Consumer Protection Regulations we would be obliged to tell future buyers if at any time the vendor hasn't felt the vibes.
I think it's a great idea!
Well someone's been doing a lot of rain-dancing lately, that's for sure.
I'm speechlesss... what a complete load of b*ll*cks.
These property portals are gettings more absurd every time.
"ENTREPRENEURS" STOP TRYING TO MAKE A PROPERTY PORTAL, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO MAKE ANY MONEY.
Actually listen to your target market, we're not going to use you!
Oookay. Technically feng shui, energy clearance and house blessings can be done by anyone with access to Waterstones and a spiritualist shop. Hells, I could do it if people wanted to pay me to!
Only one thing to say -
Dear God!!
Another one? How predictable. Pointless.
Give it two weeks for next article of this nature.
