The plummeting of housing prices for new build homes, flats in particular, is an issue that is arising up and down the UK and it is having massive debt management implications for many homeowners as a result. With this in mind, many homeowners will make use of sell house to rent back schemes in the second half of 2008 in order to avoid issues such as property repossession as experts predict that the property market may well get worse before it gets any better. Another problem associated with new build properties is the difficulty of acquiring a mortgage as lenders are increasingly reluctant to sanction mortgages for such properties and this often leaves home owners in limbo and an untenable financial situation. Sell house to rent back proposals are coming to the financial help of many new build home owners as the market continues to slump dramatically. Such schemes will unlock the equity from the home in a time frame that is agreeable to the homeowner and they can continue to rent the property back in the short or long term after the sale has been completed.
