<p>There are three good reasons (Particularly is your base currency is £ sterling) why, if you are considering buying property in France, you should act now.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Interest Rates<br />&#13;</p>
<p>Interest rates in the UK are falling and if you have spare cash it will be eaten away by inflation as real rates of return fall.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Rising French property prices/Falling UK property prices<br />&#13;</p>
<p>Property prices are forecast to rise across France in 2008 by an average of 5% but in the Limousin house prices (Which are the lowest in France) will rise faster than this as they are starting from a lower base. The flip side of this is that if you have money invested in UK property, it is forecast to fall in value in 2008 and has started to do so even now.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Currency movements<br />&#13;</p>
<p>The pound is weakening against the Euro as interest rates in the UK fall. They are forecast to fall further during 2008 as the Bank of England attempt to stimulate the UK economy.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>All the above factors point to one solid conclusion – now is the time to buy your French property &#8211; waiting will cost you money. So make 2008 the year you buy your house in the Limousin and take the first step by contacting us now – You won’t be disappointed.</p>

<h2>UK FINANCIALS LTD introduce Instant Online Loans:Quick availability of cash at your unfavorable time</h2>

Your car may crash suddenly. Your best friend’s birthday is around the corner. Your relatives may drop in without any notice. Your family members may need some urgent medical care. What if the money you have is not sufficient for the expenses. You cannot always rely on your boss or friends. But yes, you can rely on the internet based money lenders who are now offering instant loans.</p>
<p>Instant decision loans are the fastest approval loans that grant you the required amount of cash within least possible time with ease and comfort.

The approval of the loans come instantly, thus by enabling you to cover expenses on needs like paying medical bills, credit card dues, loan installments, sudden tour, house or car repair etc. To help you with the expenses, amount in the range of £100-£1500 is approved, which is directly wired in to your bank account in less than 24 hours. You are supposed to repay the amount on your next payday. However, if you are not in a position to repay the amount, the repayment term can be extended by a few days more. There is no need to pledge any collateral for its approval; instead for the approval of the loans, you must be employed in any organization for the past few months. The monthly income you draw should be a minimum of £1200.</p>
<p>Under the scheme of instant online loans, the loan companies do not ask you to fax supporting documents. This saves your time you would otherwise have spent on locating the documents and then getting them attested before facing them to the lender. Imagine the time you saved. The verification hardly takes few hours. These money lenders have a wide network across the UK so they can trace your information within hours of applying.</p>
<p>To avail the loans, you have to fulfill some preconditions specified by the lenders. In this regard:</p>
<ul>
<li>You should be employed for the past few months </li>
<li>Monthly income drawn should be a minimum of £1000 </li>
<li>A valid current checking account at least 3 months old </li>
</ul>

<p>If you are thinking of purchasing a property in France then right now is the best time to do it. There are deals galore at the moment with vendors in certain parts of France accepting offers of 10% and sometimes 15% below asking price meaning there are literally tens of thousands of pounds to be saved by buying now while your bargaining power is at its strongest.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>This shift in the market can be seen all over France from Poitou Charentes right through to some areas of the Cote d&#8217;Azur and is especially evident for character village and countryside homes which are the least in demand from the local French population and therefore seeing the biggest price reductions. British and Irish buyers who are traditionally looking for this type of property are wasting no time in taking advantage of this lull in the market before prices kick on once again as they have done in the previous five years. Other highly sought after areas such as the popular ski resorts, commercial towns or tourist hotspots are seeing far smaller price reductions from vendors as demand is still high and will always attract buyers.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The reason for this quiet market in France right now is not easy to boil down to just one variable but two in particular are likely to have had an effect: Euro interest rates and large price increase over the last five years. The Euro base rate of interest is now at 3% after last month&#8217;s increase bringing most mortgage interest rates to a little over 4% p.a. which has taken the pace off the demand. French buyers are now more cautious and wary of another increase in interest rates wandering if there is more of a correction in the market to come after the boom in property prices in previous years.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>New Build/off plan property is performing far better and developers are having no trouble at all selling their units and indeed are struggling to keep up with demand for French residents and foreigners alike. Unlike other countries such as Spain new developments are not as frequent in France yet demand by French citizens for new homes which has historically been far greater than for old homes sees no sign of changing. This limited supply and excess demand therefore keeps the new build market strong in France even in times when market conditions are not at their strongest.</p>

<p>It is often said that the first time buyer is the lifeblood of the housing market.  They buy the houses at the bottom of the housing ladder, allowing previous owners to buy at the next level up and so on.  Without first time buyers, the housing market would slow down dramatically – a process which according to many commentators is starting to happen.  In fact, figures quoted by Rightmove suggest that during August, the average house price in London actually fell by 0.1%, and the rest of the UK saw growth of only 0.6% &#8211; the fourth month in a row that house prices have increased by less than 1%.  In theory, this could mean a light at the end of the tunnel for the first time buyer as at this rate, it won’t be too long before house price increases are aligned to the average salary increase of 3-4%.  However, it’s not all great news for first timers as this still means that the average house price in the UK is running at over £240,000.  It might take a sustained period of rime before those that have re-mortgaged are willing to sell at prices that first time buyers can afford to kick start the market again.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
What does this mean to the first time buyer then?  The great housing market boom may have slowed down, but the average Joe on the average salary still can’t afford to buy the average house unless he has a huge deposit.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
One statistic that parents and young adults alike might find mind-blowing is that the average age of the first time buyer in the UK has increased from 27 to 34 in the last 30 years (according to the GE Money Home Lending and Customer Research Organisation).  The research also shows that the number of first time buyers buying with a spouse has decreased from 80% in 1977 to just a third today.  This means that the prospect of leaving home and moving into that ‘party pad’ remains a dream for many.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
With so many people getting well into their careers before buying their first place, there are more and more people either choosing or being forced to live in <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.abodewithme.com">house shares</a> throughout their early working lives.  In fact for many graduates, who are in often also burdened by student loans the reality is that they will still be living in student house shares well into their thirties!</p>

<p>The credit crunch has emphasised the importance of the first time buyer in the market place.   The first time buyers&#8217; absence from property transaction chains is part of the &#8220;mix&#8221; which is preventing sellers from moving on and the market is consequently stagnating.</p>
<p>The road to recovery for the property market will require significant efforts throughout the property industry and also a change in Government policy to revive the first time buyers&#8217; ability to get on the property ladder. Currently the lending institutions and Government policy have done little to alleviate the situation. There are measures that could be taken e.g. the raising of the Stamp Duty threshold even further and the Bank of England&#8217;s policy on interest rates these will be watched closely over the next few months.</p>
<p>The current re-adjustment of property prices means that buying a property could now become more affordable as property prices are returning to a more realistic level. The increase in the costs of living however means that it is harder to save the deposit that is now needed to purchase in the majority of cases. Instantaneous property ownership for anyone with an income is now a thing of the past.</p>
<p>First time buyers should be given a climate in which they can decide whether to take the plunge and take advantage of the current buyers market. Advice must be readily available from Mortgage/Financial Advisers, Estate Agents and <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.finnlaw.co.uk/" title="Visit Holsworthy Devon Website">Solicitors</a> alike to make the first time buying process more attractive.</p>
<p>Buyers must be made aware that more preparation will be needed by them and the decision to buy will have to be carefully calculated. It is not just a matter of borrowing it is coping with the repayments that has to be properly considered. To give a simple example if you were paying a mortgage at 4% interest then an increase to 5% would be stated on TV as an increase in the mortgage rate of 1%. If you are the mortgage payer then the amount you actually have to pay would have increased by 25%. The government need to facilitate a period of stability in the mortgage rates to limit the number of repossessions and to give confidence to us all.</p>
<p>The lack of variety of mortgage products may be a problem, however, by taking expert advice a first time buyer can assess the amount that will comfortably be loaned by a lending institution and how much deposit will be required before they consider buying. Borrowing from parents or family will be one option to raise the shortfall needed to purchase. Parents or family can all be considered by lending institutions as guarantors but must remember the risk to themselves. Buying with a partner or friend shares the burden of mortgage repayments as long as the correct legal advice is sought, these are valid options to get on the property ladder.</p>
<p>The Government is already committed to produce affordable housing and shared equity and shared ownership schemes can be considered by those on a low income. Over the last 5 to 10 years it is clear that property became regarded as an instant money making short term investment. In the current economic climate perceptions do need to change and first time buyers need to be reminded of the longer term traditional rewards of private home ownership. Those in rental accommodation should consider the long term ideal that instead of lining the pockets of a <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.finnlaw.co.uk/legal-services/commercial/conveyancing-property/" title="Visit Lease &amp; Tenancy Solicitors">Landlord</a> they could be paying into a mortgage for their future. More emphasis should be placed primarily on property being purchased to make a home and be considered secondarily as an investment for the long term future.</p>
