Rick Otton Offers Tips on How to Dodge the Uneven Impact of “Help To Buy” on UK Real Estate Prices
(PRWEB) September 21, 2013 -- “The ‘Help To Buy’ scheme has been producing mixed results on different parts of the U.K. ever since it was launched, and if this will continue home buyers will be faced with long-term problems for the short-term ‘help’ they are receiving,” said Rick Otton, the man who introduced creative real estate strategies in the United Kingdom.
The Office for National Statistics found that there has been an uneven inflation of house prices around the United Kingdom last July. They reported that the average price is at £438,000 for London real estate, while the rest of the country falls around £255,000 to £144,000.
In light of these statistics, Business Secretary Vince Cable called for a reassessment of the “Help To Buy” scheme, urging that it should only be concentrated on regions which have ailing property markets, according to a report from Express UK on 17 September 2013.
Mr. Otton shares the concern of Secretary Cable and advises first home buyers to use creative solutions when buying houses or real estate investment instead of relying on government subsidy.
“Creative strategies are a more stable solution to home ownership because it doesn’t rely on the traditional processes of buying and selling houses. We shouldn’t rely on old processes anymore because they can’t solve complex property problems that every modern home buyer faces,” he said in a recent interview.
“Imagine this. The traditional process requires all buyers to take out loans to pay for UK real estate, but before they can do that they must first save up the required deposit to secure a home loan. After the global financial crisis, however, the banks have been more selective in approving loans, so even if buyers have enough deposit there is still a big chance that their application will not be approved,” he explained.
“There is just no way for regular folks to get a house of their own with this kind of process; that’s why it’s important to think of new and creative ways to help them get their own UK real estate,” Mr. Otton added.
“These strategies can also be applied anywhere, which means that the process doesn’t change, whether you’re in London or Scotland you can apply these strategies and always get positive results,” Mr. Otton also shared.
