Sellers Unable to Sell If Buyers Are Locked Out of the Property Market, Says Rick Otton
(PRWEB) June 30, 2014 -- The newest HMRC tax statistic found that a total of 1,165,880 property transactions went through in the UK between May 2013 – May 2014. This means that almost 1 out of 20 homeowners want to sell their real estate on the average, property118.com reported on 25 June 2014. However, International Business Times have also reported that home loan approvals have slumped during the month of May.
In light of this development in the real estate market, Rick Otton, a sought-after property coach, reminded UK residents that even though there are plenty of property for sale available in the market, it doesn't mean they all have the chance to buy every one of them.
“The harsh reality is that not everyone is granted a new mortgage nowadays. In the past few weeks, the government introduced new rules to crack down on risky mortgage lending, and as a result, numbers for mortgage approval around the country are starting to slide down,” according to Mr. Otton.
“Traditional practices not only make it harder for regular folks to enter the market, it also breeds a culture of debt dependence among young people. This is very counter productive, now more than ever, because people are starting to move away from unwanted debt and into stable income streams after the global financial crisis,” he said.
Mr. Otton then said in a new interview for RickOtton.co.uk that rather than exposing yourself to risky financial decisions, home buyers in the UK should start following creative routes to home ownership like seller finance strategies.
“Seller finance strategies provide a more efficient route to property ownership due to the fact that it allows people to move in houses for sale using old mortgages. We always say that getting a mortgage is hard, but we forget that there's a ton of existing financing already in the market, waiting to be assumed by people who are willing to pay their remaining value,” he shared.
