High level discussion on PBR incl HPC and Kelvin MAcKenzie - should be fun (oh and Baroness 'Yah' and boring civil servant-type)

Unfortunately, only available north of the border

Can anyone in the Fatherland digitally record and put on site?

It will be on the iPlayer by the following morning. No need to record. Wonder who Baroness Yah is.

Nice work FP. Will be watching tonight.

One thing that always gets overlooked re. Scottish house prices.

They always say our prices have not risen as much as everywhere else - so we won't get as big a fall. They always fail to point out that prices in Edinburgh, Aberdeen and parts of Glasgow have had 'Londonesque' rises over the past 5 years. Fair enough somewhere like Fife may not have huge falls but IMO Edinburgh will.

This weeks Ernst and Young report thinks prices here in Scotland will only fall by 19%.

Ernst & Young

As for Edinburgh - According to the ESPC prices have fallen from their peak of 228k to 192k just now.

228k

ESPC Stats 228k

192k

ESPC stats - 192k

So we have had a drop of ~16% so far and it has barely even begun. Would be great if you could point out how detached Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen are from the rest of Scotland when it comes to affordability etc..

Last years £228k average sales price in Edinburgh worked out at about 8-9 times average salary !!

Quite insane and must be up there with some of the most overpriced areas down South.

50% falls in Edinburgh are almost guaranteed IMO. Of course the massive reliance on the Financial Sector is not going to help matters...

Anyway good luck.

Brilliant support. Many thanks

Scottish house prices will only ever go up; global warming will ensure that in 20 year's time Scotland's climate will be similar to Singapore's is now. 31 degrees every day.

There will be armed border patrols to stop people trying to enter from across the Great English Desert.

Anyway, best of luck on the show. Newsnight is a good gig, even if it's the Scottish version.

House prices have more than doubled in Inverclyde since 2002. Flats that could be bought for £47,000 sold this year for over £95,000.

You have to remember that wages are much lower in most of Scotland. Outside Edinburgh, Aberdeen and East Rebfrewshire we are quite poor in fact.

Mention that as the Scottish Home Packs which will be introduced on Dec 1st have a survey and valuation, it will put an end to the ridiculous "offers over" system so prices will plunge.

That would be good, but do you think it will really be the case?

A house doesn't have to be sold at the valuation price afterall.

I think it will definitely have an impact.

In the past to avoid having surveys done on every house they attempted to buy people put offers in and then had their valuation done. The valuation could be lower than expected but they had gone that far so carried on with the purchase. Don't forget silly mortgages were available then. Now buyers will know the value BEFORE they make an offer and if lending criteria is stricter who in their right mind will be offering over the asking price?

"who in their right mind ... "

Someone who REALLY wants a particular property, and who REALLY wants to outbid everyone else.

Unlikely to happen with a plain vanilla Bellway, David Wilson, or Redrow new- or recent-build, or an ex-council house that was bought 3 or 5 years ago, but for a distinctive, unique property, there's every possibility of competing interest bidding way over the Home Report valuation, isn't there?

Good work FP and CCC. There is plently of ammunition on the Scottish sub forum. These other idiots will wind you up FP with their ignorance and insistance that Edinburgh/Scotland in unique with little to back it up (keep your cool ;) ). Please point out as CCC has shown, how property skyrocketed in late 2007 and boomed just as hard, if a little later than the rest of the UK.

Simply pointing out Edinburgh's massive reliance on the farsical finance sector should be enough to convince everyone watching that we are tanking and will tank for the next few years. Of course this will be a general discussion on Scotland but surely the main cities will be in focus.

I suppose the Scottish Mafia will be getting together to blame everyone else - even though whenever one of these idiots tells how to run our finances they all seem to have a Scottich accent and they all seem to get it so very very wrong.

Did I just hear a Pavlovian bell ringing?

I know I am biased but FP looked clearly like he knew what he was talking about.

As for the Baroness.... :o

Angry, agitated and scared just about cover it IMO.

Nice comment about the 'Nice economic argument there'...

You 'run' a site called housepricecrash so you are a pessimist. :blink:

Typical Labour thinking. Do these people not realise that many of their own voters WOULD LOVE HOUSE PRICES TO COME DOWN.

So ignorant it is incredible. OMG. She just said the housing market in Scotland is holding up !!

Delusion. :rolleyes:

FP replied and said the buy to let sector has crashed and doesnt exist any more.

Transaction levels are virtually nothing.

Banks arent lending.

Prices will drop a further 30-40% in Scotland.

Just saw this; quite a heated debate, eh ;)

The Baroness was spouting rubbish! It's 'optimism' like her's that can lead us into this mess! I don't think I've ever seen such a vile woman, interrupting at every point! She obviously knew who you were and it was clear at two points that she was trying to discredit you. Firstly, when she said that surely you are a chartered financial planner and that you could see things were SERIOUS. Oh yes, if you don't say things are SERIOUS like I do, you are worth nothing! And secondly calling you a pessimist when referring to this website.

I'm sure the 'Baroness' has some sort of property interest ;)

LOVED the comment on how prices may be holding up for now, but there are no sellers, hence 30-40% price drops to come in Scotland! The guy next to you was on the ball, also. Hammered home the 'raised taxes for years to come' and that it was our money, not the governments. The baroness seemed to go wild-eyed at this!

I also agree with the package today being more about electioneering rather than economic recovery.

Well done!!
