Rick Otton Reveals The Secret On How To Buy Houses For Sale Without Acquiring Large Debts

(PRWEB) September 10, 2014

The Council of Mortgage Lenders revealed that there has been a 17 per cent increase for new mortgages issued to first-home buyers this year compared to last year’s figures. However, records also prove that many of them are borrowing more in order to supplement their income, First Rung Now published on 3 September 2014.

In light of this alarming news, Rick Otton, a respected property coach, discusses how first-home buyers could purchase houses for sale without acquiring more debt.

“CML said that 12,300 new mortgages were awarded to first-home buyers in London only, but the total value of mortgages released to first-home buyers in the second half of 2014 reached £3 billion. However, the increase in new mortgage approvals is also accompanied by a rise in the total amount borrowed by buyers. First-home buyers now borrow 3.9 per cent higher than their gross income. The average amount of mortgage taken out is £212,000 slightly higher than last quarter’s average of £200,000,” he shared.

“Taking on large debts is risky. The higher the debt, the more vulnerable an investor becomes to changing market conditions. It’s advisable for buyers in the UK to start finding other ways into the market without accumulating too much debt and putting the financial future of their family at risk,” according to Mr. Otton.

Mr. Otton then shared in a recent interview for RickOtton.co.uk that an alternative way into the UK real estate market is through buying houses with the help of seller finance strategies.

“Seller financing is helping people around the UK buy their dream homes or investment property without paying large deposits or applying for new home loans. This way, families won’t be caught in a debt trap of expensive mortgages once market conditions change. For example, rather than apply for a home loan, the buyer can negotiate to assume the existing loan and pay the rest of the equity in portions. This allows the buyer to move in quickly, without all the hassles associated with taking out a new loan. Moreover, it allows the seller to move away from unwanted debt immediately while creating a passive income stream,” he discussed.
