Reading that, (and I would recommend reading it), she does seem to be quite different from the persona portrayed on property ladder. She acknowledges that her opinion is usually ignored, and doesn't like the turn the market has taken.
Interesting quote
"Does she think property is overpriced? "Overpriced is a difficult word. It's a matter of what people are prepared to pay and if people are prepared to pay it, it's not overpriced. Whether it's sustainable is my concern."
Beeny points the blame at the government, which she says has viewed the property boom - particularly the buy-to-let market - as some kind of solution to the impending pensions crisis."

A cheerleader's redemption?

Unfortunately I agree with Beeny on the root problem here; pension. Too many people have had their fingers burnt with pensions in the past.
Back in 1995 a friend's father took early retirement and invested in a few student BTLs. His words were something like
"your pension money is p1ssed up some City wall by a tw*t from Essex". He was right then, and I'm afraid to
say he still is. However, I would suggest he cashes in now.

Personally I think she knows what she's talking about. Always have. I think she was a genuine property developer out of all of the property porn programs. I don't think she is changing her mind/opinion/tune. She is stating the facts as she sees them, and she is knowledgable enough that she should be listened to - although as she says, she is usually ignored.

Maybe she can see whats coming and doesn't want an angry mob at the gates of her country estate.
