Many industry experts believe that the only chance the housing market has of achieving recovery is if first time buyers can manage to get a rung on the off market property ladder. Unfortunately, it is estimated that there will only be about 200,000 first time buyers in the UK this year (compared with around 500,000 before 2008) so it is fair to say that the chances of this happening anytime soon appear to be quite slender.

Of course, if the number of successful first time buyers continues to decrease; the property market will become weaker and the imbalance between buyer and seller will become even steeper. The consequences of this are that fewer homeowners like yourself will be able to make the move which you aspire to.

However, even in a housing market which is besieged by anxiety and uncertainty, there are options available which can enable you to do without all of the stress and hassle involved with waiting on the market for a buyer.
