Don’t Allow Yourself To Become A Victim Of The Present Ecomic Situation
Most Property Owners who are in a job or self employed, and have been running their affairs in a realistically careful fashion during the last few years needn’t be worried too much about all the economic chaos erupting all around them.
If you’ve had your present Property, paying a mortgage for more than four or five years, and as long as you haven’t not done daft things like taking out a greater than 100% mortgage, it’s unlikely that you’ll fall into a negative equity situation, even in the short to medium term.
Furthermore, it’s important to bear in mind that, even though there’s no guarantee, in the medium to long term your investment in your Property is far more liable to rise rather than fall, because, ironically, due to the Economic Situation, new Property construction has almost come to a halt. This is just at a time when the government has announced that we must build 3 million new Properties during the next few years, in order to stop property prices spiralling out of control UPWARDS!
This same underlying pressure of demand for Property ownership is still there. It’s just being artificially stifled at the present time , but as soon as some measure of regularity comes back to the banking sector, and even before the real economy itself begins to completely recover, we should reasonably expect to see Property prices beginning to pick up.
The most important thing for now is to make a prudent plan to ensure that you can endure the worst of the crisis with minimal effect on your key assets. If you’ve been giving way to all the pressures around to live right up to your limit, now is the right time to make some cautious retrenchments to ensure your borrowings are manageable, and smaller than your assets.
It’s not a case of making your life miserable, it’s just about looking at what you need to be comfortable & happy. For instance, if you drive the average 10,000 miles per year & your car’s approaching 3 years old, why not just keep hold of it for a bit longer? The extra depreciation on a new one will wipe out most of any fuel savings, even if you downsize.
If you own a second Property, consider selling it to reduce your living costs and monthly outgoings on your mortgage. Of course, it’s not an easy time to sell a Property, but if you’ve owned the Property for more than a few years you could sell it without problems to one of those Companies that buy Houses, or one of the growing number of Cash House Buyers who’ve come into the market lately because they believe that property feels much safer than even cash in the bank. These firms are eagerly waiting for your invitation to Buy my House.
