Rick Otton Teaches Real Estate Strategies on How to Escape Expensive Stamp Duty Rates
(PRWEB) September 14, 2013 -- Rick Otton first introduced creative real estate strategies in the United Kingdom in 2003, but his mission doesn't stop there. He carries on his passion to educate more people about strategies that would allow them to buy houses for sale without having to pay stamp duties.
The Taxpayer’s Alliance released a report claiming that over 281, 590 homes in the U.K. will be charged with stamp duties worth £7,500 in 2018, as a result of rising house prices, The Telegraph reported on 22 August 2013.
Legislators are now calling for the reform of stamp duty rates because it will, most likely, prevent young families and first home buyers from buying houses for sale.
Upon learning about this situation, Mr. Otton, reminds Britons of a solution for buying houses without the need to pay stamp duties. “People around the U.K. have been using creative buy and sell strategies to sell properties since 2003, and many were able to save money with these solutions because it doesn’t follow the traditional process of getting a home loan just to buy a house,” he said.
He then explained that flexible and creative payment terms are the key to reaping maximum savings with his strategies.
“For example, a seller wants to sell his house, because he owes more to it than its actual value. We can solve his problem with the help of a sandwich lease option by letting a buyer – who is willing to pay for the seller’s debt - substitute the seller in paying for the house’s existing debts,” according to Mr. Otton.
“This way there is no need to take out new home loans with the banks, and pay for the additional stamp duties and legal costs which are often included with buying houses for sale using the traditional way,” he discussed.
“Other strategies like the Handyman Special, Rent-to-buy, also help home buyers dodge high stamp duties and get more savings because they do not require high up-front deposit and depend on other modes of payment like sweat equity and monthly rentals,” Mr. Otton shared.
Mr. Otton also added that “modern problems, like fast increasing fees, can no longer be solved by old processes, that’s why it’s about time to adapt new and creative solutions for the modern problems ahead of us.”
