Save yourself from making overstated mortgage payments by conducting a quick sale of your house

Never contact a lender if you are having problems with your mortgage! A lender may assure you that they will fix your problem but if the mortgage arrears are too high they will make things difficult for you in future. Instead, contact cash home buyers who will agree to purchase your house and offer you the right amount for your property. They can also offer legal assistance and agree to pay a portion of your legal fees.

One of the greatest advantages of dealing with fast home buyers is that you can also buy back your property from them in the near future. You can sign an agreement where the firm will agree not to sell your property to any third party within a considerable period of time. In the meantime, you can accumulate cash and buy back your house from them. By selling it to them, you can pay back your debts and later, buy back your house from them when your financial condition improves. If your house gets repossessed, there are few chances of getting it back in the future. Moreover, reliable fast home buyers will also allow you to reside in your house as a tenant. So, if you do not want to leave your home but are forced to sell it due to monetary reasons, you can get in touch with cash home buyers who will allow you to stay in your house as a tenant.

However, things are totally different with fast home buyers. Cash home buyers wish to create a new property by renovating an old property and sell it to a prospective buyer at good cost. Due to lack of finances, a property owner conducts a quick sale of his property to cash home buyers, who purchase the house, renovate it and then sell it to a home buyer. By conducting a quick sale, a property owner is often saved from the extra expenses. Due to the current economic downturn, the role of the fast home buyers is becoming prominent in UK’s housing market.

Under such circumstances, the demand for the fast home buyers increases, who bring liquidity to the housing market.

Expenses That Can Be Thwarted In a Quick Property Sale


A property owner may incur some extra expenses if he gets involved in the traditional property sale process. He is compelled to pay varied types of fees that are enough to burn a hole in his pocket. Thus, instead of conducting a fast property sale if he follows the traditional property sale process, he will definitely incur huge expenses. A home owner can avoid the following extra expenses by conducting a quick property sale.

By conducting a quick property sale, he can thwart the legal expenses that incur in customary sale of properties. The legal expenses are incurred through various court proceedings. The court proceeding becomes mandatory for those who enter into traditional buy-sell procedure. By conducting a quick property sale, the property owner can avoid the legal expenses as the house will be sold directly to the home buyer.

The owner can also avoid “home value drop” expenses if he conducts a quick property sale. In ‘traditional house sale’ procedures, the amount that is fixed from the property is often dropped the moment the housing property survey is handled. However, by conducting a quick property sale, the owner will not have to drop the cost of one’s house unexpectedly.

By conducting a fast property sale, home owners can avoid the fees of the realty agents as well. Usually the realty agent’s fees are 2% of the cost of the house (plus VAT). So, the profit margin is very low if one enters into the traditional property sale process.

All these expenses add up to the asking price, which is obviously less than the actual cost of the house. So, to avoid incurring extra expenses and to keep a high profit margin, it is always better to conduct a fast property sale. To conduct a quick property sale, the home owner should get in touch with a reputed property buying firm or reliable cash home buyers.

Adults in Britain Aspire to Own a Home


According to a research article shared by the Council of Mortgage Lenders, 81% of adults in Britain hope to become homeowners in a decade’s time irrespective of the financial and economic problems arising from the current credit crunch, and around 74% feel that they will be able to purchase their own home in 2 years time.

The article published by CML (based on the survey results released by YouGov) also revealed that the desire to own a home has fallen only a little over the last few years and still exists strongly within different age groups in the UK.

People within the age of 35 have higher aspirations compared to those who own a home in UK currently. What is important to note here is that most people who are paying for rented accommodations or sharing a home with their family and friends are below 35 years of age, and over half of these people (i.e. around 54%) have a desire to purchase their own homes within a short period of time. However, only a third (i.e. 33%) of them think that they will manage to own a home in two years time.

"Safe Haven" Status Driving the Rates of London’s Major Properties


According to a report issued by Development Securities PLC and a study conducted by Fathom Consulting, it has been found the desire to purchase a home in a safe location is driving the London real estate market forward. This has further resulted in an historical increase in the prices of homes in some of the major residential properties of London.

The report revealed that since 1995, as much as 75% of the rise in London property values (as compared to the remaining areas in the UK) can be attributed to the fact that properties are completely safe here. Besides, at a time when the UK’s economic condition is not very impressive, prime central London home prices are a record 6 times higher in comparison to the rest of the country.

In essence, the Sterling’s current value, equity prices applicable globally and the safe status of London are the three major reasons behind the growth of London’s major property markets. Of these three reasons, the fact that London is a safe haven for investing in properties has been a major reason why property prices have increased so much in the city. This ‘safe haven’ factor has lifted the price of London properties by over 30% in comparison to the rest of the England since 1995.

The report also stated that foreign money accounted for around 60% of acquisitions in terms of value between 2007-2011 and it is because of overseas property buyers that the prices of homes in London have risen to such an extent. Consequently, over half of the residents of Chelsea, Kensington and the boroughs of Westminster are from overseas. So, if you are a property seller in London who wishes to Sell Your House Fast, now is the right time to approach a cash rich property buyer. Property sellers outside London can approach a Property Buying Company and enjoy a fast house sale in case they cannot find buyers easily.

UK Government to Levy 15% Stamp Duty and CGT on Homes Valued Above £20m in London


In view of the fact that rich property buyers in London were easily acquiring tax free properties in London through offshore companies, UK’s Chancellor George Osborne has intervened and clarified that the government would be levying a 15 percent stamp duty charge on homes valued over £2m that are purchased or disposed off through companies.

The government will also extend the Capital gains tax (CGT) net so any house sold via an offshore company is taxed at the usual rate. What is important to note here is that at present non-UK residents are not paying any CGT at all. In addition to this, the government will also levy a new charge on an annual basis on homes purchased via companies. This charge would be approximately £15,000 for homes valued at over £2m. However, this will increase to £140,000 for homes priced above £20m.

Non UK residents who purchase homes via off shore companies will have to deal with the UK tax authorities as well. Prior to this, a Property Buyer who was purchasing a home via off shore companies in this manner was paying very little to own a property in London. The only cost that the buyer was paying came in the form of council tax, which was easily payable.

However, this particular legislation will change the scenario completely. Though property buyers will continue to enjoy inheritance tax benefits, these new charges will definitely put things back in order. So, if you are a property buyer who is willing to purchase a house valued over £20m pounds in the UK via an off-shore company, now is the time to act. On the other hand, if you are a property seller and want to Sell Your House Fast, approach a property buying company today. They can fetch you the right price for your property and assist you with a fast house sale.

Young Families in UK Shifting Focus to Rented Accommodations


A number of young UK families have started to feel insecure about their finances and are gradually drifting towards rented accommodation. A study conducted by the Cambridge University revealed that if UK economic conditions continue to remain stagnant, over 1 in 4 people (i.e. about 27%) will be in a mortgaged home ownership by the year 2025 compared to 43% registered in 1993-94 and 35% at present.

The study further revealed that it is not just the young and single Property Buyer who is facing difficulty in purchasing his or her own property and is shifting focus towards the rental properties in the wake of rising home prices. With banks unwilling to lend and falling wages, even UK families with children are facing similar issues. Many of these families are either paying more or half of their salary as rent and are left with nothing to save at the end of the month.

According to Cambridge University’s analysis, over the past 5 years the figure for UK families with children who are opting for rented accommodation has increased by 86%. This figure is more than double the hike registered across all households (i.e. 41%).

According to another report carried out by the independent Resolution Foundation and the housing and homeless charity Shelter, it is evident that this trend (towards rented properties) will constantly rise for over a decade and may only show a reversal if the economy improves remarkably. The report also clarified that the hike in the proportion of UK families with kids who opt for rented accommodations will be the highest in the London area. About 25% of families in London have already shifted towards rented homes, and by 2025, this figure will hover around 33%.

Given the pace at which the UK economy is moving, it is the right time for property sellers to get in touch with a property buying company and enjoy a Fast House Sale. Given that there are not enough buyers in the market, they can help you sell your house fast and provide you with instant cash.
