(PRWEB) March 14, 2014 -- Kris Hopkins, Minister for Housing, clarified that low supply is the main issue causing the recent jump in house prices in the U.K, (Whatmortgage.co.uk reported on 11 March 2014).
Minister Hopkins issued this statement in response to the Intermediary Mortgage Lenders Association’s (IMLA) statements that the second phase of the “Help to Buy” scheme is causing house prices to reach fever pitch.
“A lot of people still believe in the dream of becoming home owners, but this dream has been stalled for many U.K. residents lately due to rapid increase of house prices. Some people blame the government, while the government point their fingers on low supply of houses for the price hikes. But no matter the cause, it’s the home buyers that lose in the end,” commented Rick Otton, the host of the upcoming 3-day seminar Zero Debt Property Cashflow Bootcamp.
“To get a shot at home ownership these days, I believe that all aspiring home buyers out there should open their minds to new and creative ways to buy houses for sale, because the traditional process would force people to bleed out their hard-earned cash during a property boom,” he said.
Mr. Otton then revealed in a new interview for the Zero Debt Property Cashflow that when you make payments flexible between buyers and sellers it is possible to buy a house without applying for a new mortgage or saving up a large amount of cash to pay for a deposit.
“One of the first things that I teach my students is that it’s not about the price you pay, but how they pay the price. For example, with seller finance, buyers receive some freedom and creativity on how they can complete the payments on the property. This flexibility makes it easier for the buyer to meet the asking price of the seller,” according to Mr. Otton.
