New guide to getting on the UK property ladder with no deposit.

Poole, Dorset, U.K. May, 2009 - Mother and full time carer, Julie George, has pioneered an innovative scheme giving hope to those wanting to own their own home in these difficult times.

Julie was inspired to write her new guide after helping an elderly neighbour. Julie says, “I wanted to buy the house of an elderly friend to stop the Local Authority taking it away from her in care expenses. I had no money for a mortgage deposit so feared she would loose the house.”

Julie was keen to work out a way to buy her friends house that would benefit both of them. Having spent time in America, Julie knew “lease to buy” schemes were popular. If she could make this work in the U.K. she could buy her friends house with no money needed for a deposit. The idea for a rent to buy scheme was born.

Discussions with her neighbour and her family followed including a property lawyer who declared it was a “new one on him”! Even so, agreements were drawn up and the deal signed by all parties. Julie moved out of her house (leaving her adult children behind to rent it from her), and into her friends house for which she pays rent. The clever bit is all the rent goes towards Julie’s future purchase of the house.

It was obvious to Julie from an early stage that her scheme could benefit others and not just herself and her neighbour. She quickly joined forces with her friend and graphic designer, Gina, to produce a book giving a comprehensive guide to her scheme, now branded “Rent 2 Buy”. Looking for the best way to publish on a limited budget, Julie decided to build a website and sell the book in digital download ebook form, reducing her costs and keeping the retail price down. A hard copy is available from the on demand Internet publisher Lulu.com for those that would prefer this.

Julie’s comprehensive guide shows anyone, not just experienced property buyers or developers, how to do what she did.

Creative Solutions are please to announce the launch of another website designed and built on the WordPress platform. We are now consistantly recommending our website and Internet marketing clients use WordPress. For most business clients this usually means using WordPress as a CMS (Content Management System). Simply put, this means the front page does not carry the blog, this being linked to in the menu structure.

We find our clients quicky find their way around the WordPress admin backend and begin to realize what a valuable communication tool blogging can be for their business.

Classic Beauty Launch New Website!
