Like what I always say to my students, paying a large deposit fee or applying for new home loans are the two most difficult hurdles home buyers face.

Savills issued a new forecast claiming that property prices would increase 25.7 per cent by the end of 2018, ThisIsMoney.co.uk reported on 26 August 2014.
In light of this property news, Rick Otton, best-selling author and renowned property coach, explains that if this prediction would come true, a good solution to help regular folks enter the market is through seller financing.
“Savills explained that they revised their previous growth forecast of a 25.2 per cent hike due to the continuing boom of property prices around the country over the past year. The new report also identified the South East, East, and West as the top three regions for property price hikes, within the next 5 years, with projected growth rates of 31.6, 31.1, and 29.9 per cent, respectively. However, it clarified that price growth would be staggered as the bulk of increases would be felt by the end of this year, while only smaller increases would be expected for the succeeding years,” Mr. Otton said.
“There are two sides to this story. On one hand, existing property owners are benefitting because their properties are appreciating in value. On the other hand, there are home buyers and aspiring property investors who are being priced out of the property market,” he discussed further.
Mr. Otton then shared in one of his latest interviews for RickOtton.co.uk that there is a way to go around the expensive and traditional process if only buyers would inject some creativity into their solutions.
“Like what I always say to my students, paying a large deposit fee or applying for new home loans are the two most difficult hurdles home buyers face. However, if we start to shuffle around the terms and create a deal which allows for flexible payment schemes, more UK residents would be able to enter the market,” according to Mr. Otton.
“For instance, rather than take out a new bank loan, a buyer can negotiate to assume the existing mortgage and pay the rest of the equity in increments. By doing so, the buyer minimises upfront costs. On the other hand, the seller is able to move away from unwanted debt immediately while creating passive income stream at the same time,” he added.
