First time buyer in UK market
The number of first-time buyers (FTBs) entering the UK market in June has slumped.
New figures from the Council of Mortgage Lenders (CML) show that just 35,600 FTBs purchased a property in June 2007.
This is a huge drop from the 39,800 recorded in June 2006 and is the lowest figure recorded for June since 2004.
Rising interest rates are thought to be largely to blame as affordability continues to fall.
The base rate currently sits at 5.75 per cent and this is putting FTBs off from entering a volatile market.
According to the CML, the average FTB now needs to spend 3.37 times their income in order to get onto the property ladder, up from 3.36 times in May and 3.22 times in June 2006.
This is all bad news for homeowners. Fewer buyers entering the market means it is even more difficult to make a quick property sale.
Retired Homeowner are still paying their debt
Millions of people in the UK are retiring with massive debt hanging over their heads.
That is according to figures from Scottish Widows, which shows that one in five retired homeowners are still paying their mortgage.
The average amount owed sits at a crippling £38,000 and this is leading to real financial difficulties for many people.
"Our research shows that by the time they come to retire a significant number of pensioners still have a mortgage outstanding on their property, adding financial pressure to their hard-earned retirement fund," said Ian Naismith from Scottish Widows.
"It is important for those people who will be reaching retirement in the next few years, and still have debt outstanding on their mortgage, to consider how best to prepare themselves for the eventuality of having to juggle their debts on a reduced income when they stop working."
Many people can avoid the financial squeeze of having to make monthly mortgage payments from their pension fund by cashing in on their property and making a quick property sale.

Solicitor fees: Many real estate agents have their own solicitors and many have some arrangements. You can get opinion of real estate agent about solicitors but it is not always helpful because they will have their own solicitors. The best bet is to go for those solicitors who are recommended by many estate agents, although some solicitors will have arrangements of 2 or more estate agents.
Judge the solicitor efficiently.
(1) Check the attitude of solicitor how they are positive.
(2) How many experience they have.
(3) How many sales they have completed.
(4) Do they speak good English?
(5) Check how professional they are.
Phone the best solicitors and ask their charges. Their fees are negotiable. You can shave some $ off of their fees if you have evidence of more competitive quotes. They may refuse to shave their fee then you will have to make decision those extra buck is really worth full for you or not. Make a final decision about solicitor because when you change your solicitor after they start their convincing process for you, you will loose some bucks without getting anything.
Agent Fees:

Good agents are those who are instantly active with new listing of properties. They will phone or email with information of new property. Once your property comes in the open market, keep your eyes on your estate agent. Make a call your estate agent as property buyer, give your false name and tell them that you are looking a property which description matches with your own property description. Now wait and see how fast they contact you for new property.
Use Multi Agency: If you are unhappy with your current estate agent, you can go for another estate agent. Your previous agent will try to lock your property. You should say the agent that you want to market your property by more than one agent. Tell them that you’ll keep them as an agent only if they will keep your fees at 1%. Agent will try to increase their fee up to 2.5%, if you go for multi agency. Agent will try to lock your property if you don’t accept. Never mind they can’t keep your property more than 1 week. Nobody wants to loose their business so they will certainly agree with you. Sack them if they are not agreed.
