Seller Finance Can Help Protect Property Investment from Market Unpredictability, Says Rick Otton
(PRWEB) July 26, 2014 -- Recent data from Rightmove revealed that the average house price for UK homes dropped 0.8 per cent between June and July. House prices fell from £272, 275 to £270,159 to be exact, theweek.co.uk reported on 21 July 2014.
In light of this breaking property news, Rick Otton, a highly sought after property coach in the UK, discusses with UK residents why it’s advantageous to purchase property for sale with flexible terms.
“For the past 12 months, UK’s growth rate was recorded at 7.7 per cent, but it slowed down to 6.5 per cent at the turn of June – July. This is the first time this year that UK house prices have fallen in value, and many analysts claim that this due to the growing fear of increasing interest rates and stricter mortgage regulations implemented around the country,” he said.
“This scenario clearly demonstrates that you really can’t predict what will happen next with the UK real estate market. Unfortunately, not every investor gets to prepare for the devastating impact of sliding property prices because most people are still stuck with the ‘buy and hold’ mentality,” Mr. Otton discussed.
Mr. Otton then shared in a recent interview that one way to leverage your property from fluctuating market conditions is through purchasing property for sale with the help of seller financing.
“The main difference between the old process and seller financing is that it helps buyers minimize risk by minimizing their upfront investment to get into property. For instance, rather than take out a new home loan, the investor can assume the existing financing instead. Doing so helps the investor mitigate the risk of ending up in negative equity should the market turn,” he shared.
