Property Snake Agent Where do I collect my million from

Nail on Head time again please F P.

Another small nail in the coffin of the over indebted masses

It is a bit late a few of my friends sold the horrible pokey 2 bed boxes they were cramped in darn sarf. Now they have a far better quality of life and work / life balance in their words. I think we need to quickly build Hadrian's wall mark 2 along the old Lancashire county border to repel the rest of the raiders!!

I have forwarded a link to the video to a few bank employees and brokers I know who vehemently deny this ever took place FACE IT SUCKERS THE GAME IS UP AND YOUR DIRTY SECRETS WILL BE PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE

Reading the OP makes me realise why I left the South East. Now I get paid slightly less, but have a 15 min commute, less clogged up roads / trains, cheaper cost of living, cheaper housing getting cheaper by the month. If I finish work at half five in the summer I can be walking on the Pennines or fishing in the evening sun by half six. The lake district, Ribble valley, Morecambe bay and forest of Bowland on my doorstep.

GREAT FIND ERIC, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!!

Talking of the gruesome twosome, I contacted both Ch4 and Ofcom regarding the new series of LLL. The reply is as follows from Ofcom

Have Krusty and Phil found a time machine and visited a terraced street in 2010/2011

Telegraph Article. Is that the sound of a penny finally beginning to drop in the VI UK media

I listened to some bint wailing that "mortgages are now so so difficult to obtain". Are they more difficult to obtain or just less easy to obtain?

Beer Pit sounds good A good interview again FP!

I am well fed on bear food this evening!!!!

£2,430.55 per square foot!!!!! *Edited to add some Pebble*

So it was fine for the media to talk up prices and the miracle economy for 10 years. But to talk about the falling prices and the fact that the miracle economy was infact a lie is not ok.

Is the statement quoted above madness??

We try to be reasonable to all sides re the calcs. Some Architects well erm can be difficult prima donnas at times.

I am feeling generous I will offer them £2. See property price doubled overnight, the crash is off

Discount heavily now, or chase the market down to the bottom / be repossessed. The choice is yours (for now)

I am in what to many on here is a dirty profession (surveying) Not many understand that the word quantity before the aforementioned dirty word, puts plenty of distance between myself and residential property surveyors. Oh well ignorance is bliss!!

It is not that long ago terraced houses in Blackburn sold for £30k, I thought that was expensive. I think the crash will return Blackburn house prices to where they came from. More to the point who would want to live there??

Generally speaking they are not in the position of having borrowed heavily to purchase vastly over valued plots of land, and now seeing those oh so expensive land banks values falling. The vast majority have not gorged as gluttonously as housebuilders over the past decade and have run a far tighter ship. The companies are generally run by "older bears" who have steered the companies through the 70's 80's and 90's. I am not saying they are immune to the recession, but I feel they are better placed than the housebuilders to survive the recession, only time will tell. Housebuilders make (or should that read made) between 25 - 33% profit on new builds. The fact that now barely 1 year in to the "credit crunch" many face going to the wall shows how greedy and poorly run they are. The market for new build homes is toast. The general construction market is slow but plodding along round here. We have a lot of work on currently where clients have the funding in place and the jobs are going to take between 1 - 10 years to complete. There is still demand for construction albeit reduced and from recent experience banks are still willing to finance the right projects(the sound of stable door bolts being hastily thrown shut and thundering hooves in the distance). So in a roundabout way sensibility is back in fashion, not because people have seen the light. But because banks are no longer willing to throw money willy nilly at any idiot who steps over the threshold.

None of the building companies I deal with have land banks or high levels of borrowing. Housebuilders on the other hand
