It'll be amazing - What did Melanie say? Was she right?... You get the point.

You can watch the item from the Channel 4 News again, or download it to keep as evidence, from the HPC server via this page.

Is there a link from March? Would be interesting to load up


Bosh

Slightly O/T I remember a tonight programme that had 3 panel members who gave there predictions of where house prices would be in 18 months time, I think Phil Spencer was one of them and the presenter was the most bearish. Does anyone remember this? Must be close to 18 months ago.

If you get a chance to make someone look stupid over the whole 'price falls are bad for FTBs' crap they spew out on a regular basis, please use it.

EDIT: first time made no sense

Good luck FP, not that you need it these days, the facts speak for themselves.

If you can get official confirmation from the halifax that the unadjusted figures are indeed what rickybruce gleaned from them (£181,765 as the unadjusted figure for June), it might be worth mentioning that these figures actually show a larger drop from May to June than April to May, not a smaller one, but that these figures have been massaged to make it look as though they are better.

I will be glued if only to see poor old Ms Bien squirm and cling on the sound fundamentals of 2 years ago.

Hi B

Scroll down to April and Krishnan

I was just wondering, do you get paid travelling expenses or anything when you appear on these programmes ? All the travelling you're doing for these at the moment must be costing a bit.

Nail on Head time again please F P.

Just watched it, you said 10% fall by end of year, are you going to revise that figure? Seems rather on the low side now!!

Edit: Spelling

Great Link to the video. Melanie called the drop at 4% this year as a "much needed correction..." Ho-hum.

Travelling reimbursements

I would imagine that any expenses would be irrelevant compared to the free, National Prime TV introducion of Johnathan Davis of.

Armstrong Davis - Chartered Financial Planners

It appears that weekly FP is on the box and for someone being proved correct in his many predictions etc. If you wanted to deal with a firm of Chartered Financial Planners then surely you would be more inclined to work with someone who comes across very informed and factually correct in what he/they say.

And Housepricecrash.co.uk often gets a good mention. Hurrah

Bosh,
He isn't going to pay you either you know.

How long before FP gets his own show?

UM

He could nae afford me

That's what I heard too.

Good luck - when you think of the number of people nationally who have had a chance to hear the truth thanks to FP's efforts, one has to conclude he is becoming one of the main commentators on this issue - very rapidly the interviews seem to be growing. That's because he, along with Vince Cable, talks sense, pretty much lone voices against a wall of VI spin-meisters and hand-wringing economists.

Well done FP

Here's the link to C4 News (not sure how long it takes them to upload the latest show though)
Channel 4 News Watch Again

Agreed. This is really starting to get my goat...BBC news did it today and didn't mention high prices ONCE. Just had an EA bleating about getting banks lending (irresponsibly) again (ie: re-inflate the bubble, please). But then it's the BBC, so what do you expect.

Ooh Ch 4 news is on now

Faisal Islam: we salute you!

Guy's a star.

JD On now

Ch 4 put the wrong name and company name on screen when F P was on.

Savills - 25% in 2 years

Capital Economics - 35%

FP - 35 to 40%

2008 crash (to date) bigger than peak year of 1990s crash.

Government house-building target a dream

First 10-12 mins of the programme exlusively for this story.

The secret's out!

Monty

"Gordon Brown had better get his trowel out"

Classic...

Yup. Innocent mistake im sure....
Yolande just pulled "our worst case scenario, 25% over 2 years"
When did Savills say that?

And then Yolande comes out with "as a buyer im not depressed".
Just cant help themselves can they??

I didn't even realise you were on the goggle box tonight. Just found this thread.

How funny, they all agree with you now. You big stud you.

Do you get to speak to these other bods in a "green" room? Do the say they always agreed with you but couldn't say so before?

<------------------ Speechless

Poor discussion. Not FP's fault.

Snow made a bit of an **** of it, actually.

Looking forward to Faisal getting to host one of these chats.

He MUST be an HPCer.

Did I notice FP stifling a grin at the end when he said it was going to get 'very grim?'

FP that was absolutely top stuff. I loved and "Gordon Brown had better get his trowel out" quote and good on you for mentioning the role that banks have to play in all of this as well. I'm reminded a little of some of Peter Schiff's interviews where 6 months ago he was coming onto news programs as the looney for everybody to scoff at and now everybody's ended up agreeing with him.

One question though. How come there was no mention of www.housepricecrash.co.uk? On other interviews I've seen you mentioned as a spokesperson for this website so why did that not come up?

Fantastic interview though.

Was more bearish from the other two interviewees than I had been expecting. So can we look forward to another re run in 3 months and more revised estimates from Savilles

Agreed. Wishy washy.
Not JD's problem though.
Got the fractional stuff in again, and the banks in fear bit. Thats what needs to be driven home.
How the banks wont finance this orgy of debt again for at least, what, 18 years?

I miss Melanie. I can't understand why she didn't want to come on the show today. Washing her hair?

FP appeared more relaxed today than usual.

It must be easier when your detractors have come round to your way of thinking and your previously humiliated predictions look entirely reasonable.

Tuned in to C4 by chance - you did good FP ( still find it hard to believe this long awaited crash is finally underway - )

Brilliant.

IIRC They actually gave the real 8.7% (?) YOY drops rather than the 'offical' released HBOS 'smoothed' ones.

Also we had one of the UK's largest estate agents saying prices were going to drop by 25% over the next 2 years - giving a rough drop of 35% in real terms. This is over the next 2 years only. This was from an estate agent. This was sandwiched by 2 other predictions of nominal falls of between 35-40%.

Yeah but yeah but did you get the opening statement?
The housing crash - worse than anyone ever warned and far beyond anything that any market could correct!

Channel 4 news at 7pm, my weekend starts here!

So what happens when FP's predicting 40% and Savilles 60%? FP becomes the panel bull?

You're getting more air time than Adrian Chiles at the moment FP.

Just watching on 4+1 now. Verrrrry bearish already. Looking forward to rest...!!

Maybe the EAs have come out of denial and wish to shout loudly at potential vendors that prices are freefalling in an attempt to safeguard their businesses.
The graphics were good with the sliding chimney stack

CH4+1 now

Great stuff FP!!

I really liked the 3 month synopsis.A rather seismic change of tune from the other two!!!!!

You're making those so called "experts" look stupid!!!

All delivered in a calm and calculated manner,it does so much more damage that way!!!!

It's such a pity that Kirsty allsop has gone AWOL.

Actually, FP, you didn't need to be there at all - I thought you were quite superfluos. they all agreed with you, with knowing nods at everyting you said.

Our work here is done...

Would have been strangely ironic if C4 news had been followed by location*3 in the schedule


maybe our friends at C4 can organise it next time.

I think that is exactly what is happening, as many on here have predicted. Estate Agents will become our allies.

Even in Edinburgh the press are getting ever so slightly bearish....

"A 10% fall this year"?

You VI HPI cheerleader you!

That's quite a change in expert sentiment. Though I suppose unless you are totally deluded (Brown, Assetz guy) it would be hard to deny what's actually happening.

FP good again. The other guy got to deal with the supply question and the 3m houses that aren't going to be built. That 'myth' does annoy me.

Poles (immigrants) going home... should ease pressure on housing and services - a plus.

Though as FP said, it looks like it's going to be grim.

BTW the HPC Player (C4 News 10/7/08 and more...) is very good - no stuttering at all (unlike the BBC iPlayer and the C4 one).

And if Ms Savils thinks all the migrant workers are going to re-patriate, why bother building the houses?

Nice one FP, nice to see some VI's not only eat humble pie but, pretty much agree with you, and nice John Snow nailed em for it! JUSTICE! Given their last predictions there clearly been alot of back peddeling on the others behalf since March.

Also noticed you now get introduced as a financial planner, instead of the guy that owns the website HPC, given some of the more celestial posts of late, you have more credibilty for being a FP than a man that frequents the house of libra round the 6th of June etc (Regular posters will get my gyst), clearly you are a Libra

Can't wait for the next time you meet Declan because you really should rub that so called experts nose in it, via some sly comment at the end of the interview. How are your BTL investments doing Declan?

Oh and one request if you ever get a spot on the same show as Kirsty make sure you pass her a hat, even if off camera, just let her know all those doom mongers at HPC are thinking of her and will not forget how many sheeple she dragged down on her bad advice.
