JoeDavola Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 As one of many young people in NI who has been denied the chance to own their own home by insane prices, I hope you do indeed give 'em hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deflation Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 I've checked on the BBC iplayer and the 1 hour Nolan show from 3/11 is available. (Frank Skinner was on it) So, tonight's show should be on there tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLastSamurai Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Debate on NI housing market between a financial adviser and an EA... At least you are Scottish so will get away with it. Might be useful to point out that prices for larger houses in towns like Newtownards and Bangor nevermind the better bits of Belfast were getting close to the same levels as Alderley Edge in Cheshire or nice parts of southern England where the average income is probably three times higher. I am from NI originally and have relatives still over and hear hilarious/bizarre/sad stories about the last three years. NI was truly dot.com in its silliness. My favourite relates to 3 unattractive 70's 4 bedroom houses with large back gardens on a pleasant but hardly exceptional suburban road in a commuter town outside of Belfast which would have been worth no more than £300,000 up to 2004 (and that would have been thought expensive) selling to a property developer for £750,000 each in 2006 (seriously) so he could put up flats in the back gardens. This was developer knocking on the door stuff - the vendors' houses were not up for sale. The developer bought 3 of them. The fourth house next door held out with a dot.com valuation analysis that he should get £900,000 and raged against his neighbours who undersold for 'less than they were worth'. Developer just flat refused to pay anything extra for the fourth. The three who sold downsized, and have £400,000 odd spare for their pension fund. They just couldn't believe it. "We thought we would be there for life, but they made an offer we couldn't refuse". Needless to say, no flats have been built or seem likely to be built. 4th house couldnt be realistically marketed for more than £350,000 to £400,000 today and unlikely it would sell anyway given the declining market.

Paddles Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 The phone in lines open early, according to my sources, so HPCers who want to ask pertinent questions should call early to avoid disappointment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juvenal Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 I often listen to Nolan on Five Live at weekends. Certainly no intellectual heavyweight. Has two cards to play - simplistic devil's advocate or plain-man-in-the-pub-who-needs-simple-explanations. He is attractive in neither guise. Should be easy meat.

deflation Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 I've heard him on 5 live. Often Mr 'Daily Express' Angry too, as well as a sucker for a sob story, although they are sometimes genuine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOP Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Is anyone going to phone in? We need people to phone in here ! Even if it requires us to use false pretences ! Nolan will not want HPCers on if he is a BTLer ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddles Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 We need people to phone in here ! Even if it requires us to use false pretences ! Nolan will not want HPCers on if he is a BTLer ! Exactly! Let's have some fun. Phone up early and register a question, something fun like "if the long term trend is average house prices equal 3 to 4 times the average salary in an area, what will prices fall back to?".
