Lbc Radio - Buying Off Plan

[marmite]

On now on the James Max program

[marmite]

Someone from savills and the Property editor from the evening standard discussing buying off plan.

Lots of talk of a soft landing, long term view 5 years market will pickup, no crash unless their is a economic problem......................WHAT !!!!!!!!!!!!! talk of scaremongering by ill informed people.

Normal property porn...............

Apparently people are signing up to off plan builds that wont even be completed for some 2 years................Oh Really :-) :-)

Anyone who listens to LBC will be familiar with the property adverts every 15 mins from the usual " come to our free hotel senimar " adverts. I have also noticed there is a new advert to teach you to build a Stock market portfolio. It goes something like " I turned my initial investment of 10k into 20k in just 3 months just trading for 15mins after work ".

Ha Ha Ha :-) :-) :-) :-)

Fred " The Bear " has phoned up to fly the HPC flag.

Presenter etc not pleased, well funny :-) :-) :-)

Go Fred !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[marmite]

HPC has been cancelled, Savills has called off the crash and asked that we dont listen to the doom mongers.

:-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

Podcasts of James Maxes programs are available here http://lbc.audioagain.com/

Deffinately work a listen once its been uploaded.....It will have you all rolling around

James history is that he was a failed Apprentice Candidate and is so good at buisness that he is now a radio presenter. He does a very good job of flying the VI and sheeple flag.

But I always listen to his programme when i get a chance :-)

Apparently the same doom mongers that talked about northern rock are trying to scare people about the property market ...................... Priceless

[OnlyMe]

Well done "Fred".

The Savills' bloke should be selling double glazing or timeshare.

Actually anybody in double glazing or timeshare might be a bit miffed to be associated with BTL.

James is now trying to be the english " Jim Cramer "........ hes been shouting and screaming for the last month to cut the intrest rates apparently

For those of you who dont know jim

It would be funny if it wasnt so dam scary

[TeddyBear]

just caught this in the car on the way home. Well done "Fred"! Mr Max sounded very annoyed. Mind you, I was amazed that Max was telling people to be beware of property clubs and go straight to the developer when LBC seem to live off inside Tack advertising - perhaps Galliard homes have upped their advertising budget over I T's ?!

I was shouting at the radio when they trotted out the old rubbish about interest rates doubling in the last crash so couldn't compare it to today.

Also, Fred was talking about massive oversupply of new builds and Mr Savills went into property shortage thing - didn't give Fred a chance to explain that new build luxury appartments are not the type of property we are short of.

Then they cut him off and called him a doom monger.

Is that the one for "Win Investing"? If so they charge you £1500 for teaching you how to use the finspreads spreadbetting interface

Both these candidates appeared in the first series of the apprentice and are now property porn pedalers. Or should i say Property Prophets

Whio wants to sign up

I wouldnt even trust that bloke to buy my lunch off, let alone any big ticket items.

Arnt there already alot of Muppets(Flippers) trying sell their Off Plan Purchases to other people . Just look round new developments there are abundants that havn't sold. Bovis is using every trick in the book to entice new buyers a 75% buy now scheme and pay 25% later. In effect I would say they are only worth 75% or less of the value anyway, but a few Muppets will be sucked in.

I am new to all this! I just heard the start of James Max programme yesterday. I will download it later to listen. However, can someone tell me exactly what was said that was wrong.

Thank you.

I was skeptical until you mentioned the Spanish senoritas. Where do I sign up?

Right here, where in invisible ink it says "No refund of your deposit if we fail to build on time, and push off you British swine!"

So what is the catch with these property companies that offer 6.5% Mongolian Beads each year ?

You have to marry the hideous offspring of King Tentaclenose of the hideously unattractive Gargoylian Galaxy, I'm afraid.

But if that means I can get a luxury apartment ..... presumably she (?!) must have some redeeming features
