Preventing home repossession in the face of the UK's falling economy

many people like you are being subjected to eviction notices and threats of repossession after not being able to keep up mortgage payments since the rise of interest rates across the UK.

This has meant new solutions are being developed to tackle this new financial epidemic that is sweeping the nation.

I am now going to introduce you to a concept that is raising in popularity as a primary solution for those that are in the situation were they have no choice but to be repossessed. It is called a "Sell & Rent Back Scheme"

so imagine the situation, your just days from being evicted everything so far has fialed to delay or prevent this from happening, the only way you can stop it is to come up with the money to pay off the outstanding balance, its not enough time to put your self on the market and start finding buyers you may have already tried.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if someone could come out value your house and give you a quote on the spot that would wipe all your debt and then allow you to stay in the house as a tenant?

Well that is exactly how the "Sell & Rent Back Scheme" works. Now don't get me wrong this is nothing new it has been around for a while and is useful for other situations other than repossession, but as far as repossession goes it fits the bill as a solution perfectly.

When you enter one of these agreements it is also possible to make an arrangement to buy back the property at a later date if you financial situation improves, depending on the agreement that you come to maybe at even a discounted rate.

Close on the heels of film actor Krishna calling on Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy amid speculation that the former might be roped into the Congress to counter the proposed entry by Chiranjeevi into politics, activists of the Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) on Wednesday tried to gatecrash into Padmalaya studio owned by Krishna at Jubilee Hills here on Wednesday.

The demonstrators demanded the State Government to resume the land allotted to the studio and redistribute it to artistes from Telangana which was rich in cultural forms.

Mild tension

Though the police thwarted the bid by the crowd to storm the studio, some of them scaled the gate and entered inside. They were pushed out by the police. Mild tension prevailed at the entrance for sometime with the police resisting a spirited attempt to trespass into the premises. The police rounded up a few hundred demonstrators. Among those arrested were MLAs T. Harish Rao and S. Ramalinga Reddy and former MLA Nayani Narasimha Reddy.

The TRS alleged that Krishna and his wife Vijayanirmala, who are the primary owners of the ten-acre land allotted to the studio, transferred half of the property to Zee Telefilms towards a financial settlement. The actor couple was also involved in real estate business in the remaining five acres.

Speaking to the media, Mr. Harish Rao and Mr. Ramalinga Reddy warned the Government that the TRS would take possession of lands allotted to the Telugu film industry in the city as it failed to provide employment to the people of Telangana.

The audacious bid of Maytas Infra for Metro Rail seems to have a self-serving side.Maytas has not only foregone the Rs 4,000-crore grant from the government but has also assured that it will pay the government Rs 30,000 crore in 30 years.


The bid caught the attention of the Planning Commission, which recommended to the Centre that it should not entertain requests for funding Metro Rail projects elsewhere.Now, the group is believed to be looking at expanding the project on two routes not just to make its bid viable but also to get more value for its properties by providing connectivity. Satyam,
the parent company of Maytas, owns thousands of acres on the city outskirts which the latter is developing into real estate ventures.

Official sources told this correspondent that the company planned to take the Metro Rail beyond Shilparamam to Sankarpalle on the Line 3 and to Patancheru beyond Miyapur on Line 1. In both the places, Maytas has taken up or has proposed to build mega residential and commercial ventures, including Hill County, spread over hundreds of acres.Sources said the government had agreed to give the company the opportunity to expand routes and therefore additional land. "A clause in the agreement of Kakinada port clearly gives the first right of refusal to the existing developer over future expansion," a senior official said. Similar leverage could be given to Maytas for the Metro, he said.The Hyderabad Metro Rail Corporation managing director, Mr N.V.S. Reddy, said there was lot of pressure on the government to extend the Metro Rail route to Patancheru and Alwal. Referring to the argument that metros in the west are making losses, Mr Reddy said the high density of population would ensure revenues. Nine lakh commuters are already travel every day on the LB Nagar-Kukatpally stretch. "The Maytas proposal would click if 26 lakh passengers travel by 2026." Maytas was not available for comment...

A consortium of real estate developer Indu Projects, US-based healthcare major John Hopkins and Hyderabad-based CARE Hospital is setting up a 2,000-bed health city in Nagpur. The consortium will invest around Rs 750 crore in the project through a combination of debt and equity.

Sources familiar with the development said that the consortium pipped healthcare majors such as Manipal Health, Apollo Tyres promoted Artemis Hospital, Singapore-based Parkway Hospitals and Reliance ADAG for the project. Fortis Healthcare was also in the fray and was also qualified to make the final bid. However, the hospital major backed out over differences about the operational structure of the project.

The Maharashtra government is developing a Multi-Modal International Cargo and Passenger Hub Airport at Nagpur (MIHAN), an aviation hub. The project includes a special economic zone (SEZ) in which the health city will be based and other residential and industrial projects. The Maharashtra Airport Development Authority, which is developing the SEZ, will lease the 74 acre land to the consortium for 66 years.

Ramana Reddy, who is heading the health city project for the consortium, told ET that it expects to get the regulatory nod in the next few months and the civil work will start by the end of the year or early next year. The health city envisions to build 10 superspecialty hospitals and will primarily target overseas patients. In the first phase, the health city will have 750 beds and it will be operational in the next 36 months.

Hyderabad-based Indu projects will be responsible for the development and management of the project, while CARE Hospitals will operate the hospital. John Hopkins will be the knowledge partner but will also hold equity in the consortium. Indu Projects will fund majority of the investment and is expected to hold majority stake in the consortium, although details of the holding structure are being worked out.

Like other health cities being developed by Indian healthcare majors, the health city plans to have medical, para medical and other medical education centres. The consortium is also in talks with a Thailand-based group to set up a health and wellness village in the health city. To complement their human resources of a fast expending healthcare sectors, healthcare companies are setting up health cities. Fortis Healthcare is setting two medicities in Gurgaon and Lucknow and plans to set up 10 such projects in the next 10 years. Renowned cardiologist Dr Naresh Trehan is also setting up a medicity in Gurgaon.

Greater Hyderabad, which has become the second largest metropolitan area in India, will be developed as a world-class city and a model metropolis in the country, said Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy Sunday.He asked officials of the newly constituted Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA) to ensure a scientific and regulated development in the metropolitan region.

Last year 12 municipalities and several villages of the five surrounding districts were merged with Hyderabad to make it Greater Hyderabad. HMDA was formally constituted Saturday replacing Hyderabad Urban Development Authority (HUDA).

The chief minister Sunday launched HMDA and laid foundation stone for the central office of the new body, which will have jurisdiction over an area of 6,856 square km, making it the second largest metropolitan area in the country after Delhi.

The jurisdiction of the earlier body was 2,000 square km. The population coverage has also increased from 6.5 million to 7.8 million.

The government issued orders posting Indian Administrative Service officer K.S. Jawahar Reddy as the metropolitan commissioner.

The jurisdiction of HMDA covers 54 ‘mandals’ (administrative blocks) in the five districts. It includes 16 ‘mandals’ of Hyderabad, 10 of Medak, 22 of Rangareddy, two of Mahbubnagar and four of Nalgonda districts. As many as 849 villages of four districts were merged with Hyderabad.

As the city is growing by leaps and bounds thanks to the IT boom of last one decade and consequent economic activity, the government felt the need to merge the surrounding municipalities with the capital region to ensure planned development and provide better infrastructure.

The new international airport at Shamshabad, about 30 km from the city, the ongoing world-class 160-km Outer Ring Road (ORR) project, mega townships along the ORR, over 30 IT Special Economic Zones (SEZs), major real estate projects, new campuses of IT and biotechnology majors, metro rail and other infrastructure projects are expected to give further impetus to the growth.

The chief minister asked officials to ensure that there was no deviation from the approved plans for any construction activity. He assured that the government would take all steps to provide better road connectivity, 24-hours water and electricity supply and other infrastructure to all the areas falling under metropolitan region.

The missions of HMDA include promoting active participation of citizens in the process of planning and implementation of development plans, improve quality of life through planned growth and development and contribute to the creation of a cleaner and greener city.

Realtors are supposed to have a fiduciary relationship with buyers or sellers of real estate. They are sworn to uphold this capacity and work in the best interest of either the buyer or the seller. That is to place the best interest of the buyer or seller first, above their best interest.

Interestingly, the National Association of Realtors (NAR) choose to fight the government long and hard to prevent other brokers from modernizing the sales system through some new marketing capabilities of the Internet.

The Multiple Listing Service was built upon the premise that Agents and brokers would cooperate and have equal access to sell one another's inventory.

In the proposed settlement between the Dept. of Justice vs. The National Association of Realtors, President Richard Gaylord recently announced, "the settlement affirms the value of Multiple Listing Services as a tool of broker-to-broker cooperation." But this is exactly one of the reasons why the Department of Justice (at the expense of the American public) had to file an antitrust lawsuit against the National Association of Realtors in the first place. The NAR was blocking the equal opportunity use of the MLS system by virtual office (Internet) brokers. They were not letting every broker use the tools Mr. Gaylord claims are of such value to share broker-to-broker.
Mr. Gaylord is taking credit for bring about the very change that he and the NAR were trying to stop and had to be forced to allow. It seems rather hypocritical to run an organization and system, that functions on member cooperation, to then only turn around and prevent this same cooperation. Then for the sake of public relations, the NAR claims victory over the government when it was the government that actually had to force them into this cooperation. And at a cost of how many thousands of dollars out of the taxpayers pockets for them to attempt to do business in a self-serving fashion.

Who's kidding whom?

The National Association of Realtors took money away from the taxpayers of this country in order to protect their own pocketbooks and then, they want to look like the good guys when they loose the fight. This proposed settlement will bring about change to enable competition, perhaps resulting in lower commission rates and this is what the fight was truly over, the NAR wanted to keep commission rates higher. Not helping the consumers as Mr. Gaylord had the Audacity to announce. This is a conflict of interest. The National Association of Realtor's interest above all others.

It is sad to see the MLS has become such a dinosaur but with this attitude it is small wonder why. They survive because they are the giant but so was Tyrannosaurus Rex. Instead of embracing the capabilities of the Internet they have once again spent years and the taxpayers money being greedy obstructionists to advancement. It seems they have been so bust fighting the inclusion of others that they lost sight in their own system.

In his soon to be published book "The Real Estate Revolution" he demonstrates how the shift in focus of the marketplace to the Buyer has all but left the Seller as an abandoned class, without the benefit of proper representation by the Real Estate Community.

His mission is to bring about the much needed changes and reestablish control for the Seller once more.

Finding your next house to make your home used to be the first item on many peoples list in the house buying process though this has certainly changed. It is essential one finds the level of money that you can borrow (mortgage promise) prior to your house search, otherwise you could be spending time and effort looking for a house which does not realistically suit your affordability.

So you have been offered a mortgage in principal, how are you going to find the house of your dreams?

The ways in which houses are being marketed is changing and there are now more options than the traditional estate agents who still hold the lions share of the housing buying and selling market. Below are the most popular and current methods of finding your next home which we will look at individually:

* Estate Agencies
* internet
* Media publications

Estate Agencies

Estate agents are still the most popular method of finding a house and for good reason. They specialise in this field and if they are doing their job well including having a good advertising campaign arranged for their clients; it can be hard not to come across their marketed properties.

Small independent estate agents are often prevalent in their areas. This can easily be seen by their branded for sale signs if you are able to drive around the desirable locations you are considering. Once you have found these agents; register an interest with them. With the market moving at a considerably slower pace than in recent times you can confidently rely upon these agents contacting you quickly about properties you maybe interested in.

Larger estate agents can have centralised information sharing and registering of interest systems; though it can often be advantageous to contact the individual offices direct. This enables you to become a real person with a real interest more easily and not an impersonal email enquiry, due to this you may find a better level of service.

Internet

The internet has become a great resource for finding a property and can quickly help you identify and shortlist properties you wish to view. There has been many online property portals appear over recent times, the most popular becoming household names. Most estate agents have a presence on the internet which often includes a good search facility to narrow your property search down.

There is a relatively new development in the house buying process where for a fee sellers can advertise their properties 'privately' themselves on the 'net'. At present this a small part of the market though has the attraction of reduced fees in comparison to estate agents. Private sales have always been an option though it has never challenged the traditional estate agent route due to the many advertising techniques and sales experience they combine. The private sale listing websites are aggressively promoting their websites with what seems a widespread range of results. It would be interesting to know how much this market has grown since conception.

Media Publications

There is a vast range of media publications where you will find properties advertised and those of interest will largely depend on the type of property you are looking for. These publications include glossy magazines, national and local newspapers, weekly specific property sales papers to name but a few.

Local newspaper inserts and adverts continue to be highly valued by most in their search to buy or sell their properties. By looking through local papers a good judgment and idea of the local market can be gained.

To find your new home, this search can be dramatically shorten by combining the methods mentioned above. We hope that they have provided a useful insight.
