The special effects and scary music bit should be enough to drop off a few more % before noon tomorrow !
Ha Ha

And as for the people who did the third party btl without even looking at the property.....

Flat Broke: Tonight ITV 1

Jonathan Maitland leads an investigation into the risks involved in buying houses with the intention of letting them out. The reporter learns that many landlords are struggling financially and unable to find either tenants or buyers for their properties, leaving many threatened with bankruptcy

Another great performance from yourself FP! Your getting alot of air time these days and hopefully much more to come over the next year or so!!

Oh my god. That was amazing, Phil Spencer 10%, what an ar$e.

The Daily Mail readers will be shitting bricks tonight and rightly so.

The beauty of the programme was the focus on the capital markets and not the "fundamental shortage of housing in the UK" that the VI's spout on about.

High 5's all round.

All I could do was laugh
(breath intake)
Throughout the whole program.
Absolutely sympathy for the BLT'ers, the greedy TW@TS.
Woman with baby, did not do any research, what an absolute joke - absolutely no sympathy, the f**kwit - she deserves what's coming.

better get off my high horse before I fall off....

They should do a follow up in six months.

The blonde bint will have had to accept that "silly" offer to stop bleeding 2g's a month. Makes me laugh she things the offers are "silly".

The bird with the kids will have to default, and will lose her home. She will get a council place no doubt.

On Panorama, the South Africans should just pack up and leave, that is what I would do.

I can't believe some people are so stupid, including Phil

Maitland was a bit smug though

He might be smug, but he called the market. Anything to make that c0ck phil spencer look an ****. Funny as feck.

I completely missed that. She's been watching too much grand designs.

My message to her, default now and don't waste a penny more on interest. It is over.

[TalkingSense]

Excess credit = high house prices
shortage of credit = lower house prices.

At least this journo understood the basics of how this housing market has been driven since 2003.

[Slumpmonkey Returns]

Phil Spencer's credibility amongst the property buying sheeple is shot to pieces now! IMO, he had better either disappear for a bit or reinvent himself over the next few years as I get the sense C4 will not be recommissioning another series of Location Location Location!

Well done FP! This will really make the sheeple panic - and quite right too as they have had their heads up their arses during the last few years of "mania"!

BTW - I don't think Maitland was being smug - he just got some good advice from FP last year and sold up!

I couldn’t get the ITV bear-fest over here in Amsterdam but I did, in the end, watch the tepid by comparison Panorama effort. No real emphasis on the fact that a decade of living on the never-never is behind out current predicament, antipodean woman with economic credentials saying “no recession” etc.

Any chance of someone posting the Maitland show somewhere?

jeez they've just called FP 'one of the more pessimistic forecasters'

they've obviously not lurked on here much.

Hi reaper

Judging by the way things are heading at the moment; after the crash when someone sits down to write this up in the annals of history, HPC members may be considered as being overly optimistic in their predictions of the impending property crash and things were much worse than even they predicted
