Despite the early signs of a property price-growth slow-down, investors need not worry about diminishing returns.

New data from Halifax confirms that UK property prices have begun to cool down, the Money Observer published on 9 September 2014.
In light of this news, Rick Otton, a highly-sought after property coach, explains how seller finance strategies could help UK residents continue getting cash flow out of their properties in this kind of market condition.
“Although an average house in the UK rose 9.7 per cent last August pushing property prices to reach around £186,270, this value is still lower compared to the 10.2 per cent hike experienced last July. A senior analyst from Halifax explained that the figures are indicative of a cool down caused by higher supply for houses for sale and normalisation of interest base rates,” he shared.
“Despite the early signs of a property price-growth slow-down, investors need not worry about diminishing returns. As I always tell my students, market cycles are normal, so it’s up to the investor to have a strategy in place for any situation. In that way, you will always be in a position to profit,” Mr. Otton added.
Mr. Otton then shared in a recent interview that seller finance strategies has helped a lot of investors in the UK survive harsh market shifts just because of simple changes in way they bought and sell houses.
“What sets apart seller financing from all other strategies available in the market is its capacity to get people into houses without paying a large amount of deposit or getting new mortgages. This way, buyers can easily buy houses for sale, while being able to create different strategies for profit generation even when the market dictates otherwise,” according to Mr. Otton.
“For example, if you are an investor looking to sell a property for profit, rather than ask the buyer to pay in full like a regular transaction, you may offer flexible payment terms to the buyer. In the deal, a buyer may be given the chance to assume the existing loan and pay the remaining equity in increments. In that way, the buying process becomes much more convenient for the buyer to meet your asking price. Moreover, because of the efficiency of this system, you are able to move away from unwanted debt while creating positive cash flow at the same time,” he added.
