Interest Rate Crisis - Update August 2023

from Property Magic Podcast · host Simon Zutshi

Simon discusses the recent interest rate rises and their impact on the property market. With interest rates increasing for the 14th consecutive time, Simon explores the potential implications for property prices, which are already falling at the fastest rate since 2009. KEY TAKEAWAYS Interest rates have been rising consecutively to combat inflation, with the latest increase being a quarter of a percent, bringing the Bank of England base rate to 5.25%. Property prices are falling at the fastest rate since 2009, leading to an increase in supply and a decrease in demand. This presents a buying opportunity for investors. Financing is becoming more difficult in the current market, making creative finance strategies such as purchase lease options and vendor finance more valuable for acquiring properties without relying on mortgages. It is important to stay educated and upskill oneself in the current market conditions. This includes understanding and utilising strategies like purchase lease options to take advantage of the opportunities available. This market presents opportunities for those who think outside the box and adapt their strategies. It is crucial to stay informed, attend local property investor network meetings, and surround oneself with successful investors who have experience navigating challenging market conditions BEST MOMENTS "Rather than sit back and do nothing and miss what is probably one of the best buying opportunities this decade, you need to re-skill, make sure you've got the appropriate strategies that are going to work for you in the current market." "In times like this, you need to think outside of the box. This is when fortunes are going to be made by a small number of people." "It all comes down to your mindset and your attitude. How do you look at things? How do you interpret things? What meaning do you give to things?" "Yes, for many people, this is going to be a very difficult time, but for some of us who have the right attitude and take action, this is going to be an incredibly exciting time." "Until next time, invest with knowledge, invest with skill."
