Eh TMT???
WTF??
20% off in my area!
I had to check the date of this thread!
I have never felt more bearish than right now! anyone else feel like me?
Likwise, I suppose it depends on what neck of the woods you fare from but my PB watch-list has a reduction at least once a week. Toot toot! Full steam ahead.

Subtext: EAs urge buyers to jump into a falling market.
Tool.

Job loses haven't even really kicked in yet.
Do you think the RATE of job losses will increase?
What!!!! How fast do you want it to go? Do you have access to newspapers and television?
-
Nope i've never inherited anything. Everything I have I worked for belive me!!
Fair do's, my mistake. Until you pointed out that you actually built the properties, I had assumed that you were just another property speculator, gambling with other peoples' money while helping to price out FTBs.
My bad, bro.

Why can't the bears accept cold hard facts.
GO look at what the pound has done in the last couple of moths.
GO loot at what the FTSE is doing.
Look at the projected v actualjob losses.
Look at the latest nation wide figures.
Look at the latest reports in the cost of renting.
DON'T BE BLINKERED LOOK AT WHAT THE GRAPHS ARE SHOWING YOU!!
The last defense the bears seem to have are personal attacks says it all really!!
Ah, come on, how can we give your futile posts much credence when you've admitted on other threads that you inherited a couple of BTLs from your father? With such a massive VI, it's no wonder that you start at least a couple of threads a week with decidedly upbeat titles 'rents stop falling?' or 'have we bottomed out?' or 'mortgage lending picks up'. It's pathetic really.
While I may have a VI in seeing houseprices some down to sensible levels, at least I have the good grace to accept that I have no power to influence the crash one way or another.
One more thing; what on earth does you sig mean "Never ever ever sell"? Is that a business model you formulated yourself? How's it working for you?

I don't know why but I was under the distinct impression that A2M is a lay-dee.
edit: typos, I meant L2M obviously.
Nah, his use of vernacular gives away his gender. If he's being particularly passive-aggresive, he'll intersperse his posts with street-talk; 'dude' and 'bro' being his favourites.

That's just piety. I hate it.

Agreed, every time a Labour panelist is on the backfoot they trot out the 'we wouldn't want the BNP to get in now, would we?' line and the audience laps it up without fail. Idiots.
If New Labour hadn't made as much as a fook-up over the last decade and actually stood by their socialist principles, the disgruntled working class voters would not be moved to consider the BNP.

If she won't liosten to reason why throw money at it?
You're as mad as cheese too.
I know how this sounds but she managed to save just 2k (in an unspecified timescale)! That will be eroded by declining prices by the time she's unloaded the removal van.....
-
It is real equity and she has an offer in for her flat please keep the replies coming as we will be showing her them
GAS
Has her offer already been accepted on the house she intends to spend her life in ursury?
If it's not too late she may want to do a bit of research first in an attempt to negotiate on asking price. Tell her to check out ourproperty.co.uk, punch in the postcode and voila - the previous sale history (if there are any) of that property, back as far as 2000 (if I recall correctly). Compare previous sale with current asking price.
-
Just my tuppence worth:
I hope that nine grand doesn't have conditions attached to it as you won't be seeing that back for some time. Like other people have suggested; withdraw the offer. It's one thing to spunk her own money away but yours as well? Nah.
-
I was asking about Gary`s place. Don`t buy it off him directly. When it goes up for sale, tease him with a "derisory" offer. Wait until he gets repo`ed, then buy it at the auction. You might want to send him a letter of thanks, once you`ve got the keys.
^
Please let that happen.
Ha ha no sorry, I was being flippant. Now, that would be Kismet/fate/karma.
-
Fair play. Has it been repossessed yet ?
Ive been waiting for stories like yours.....
Potential buyer makes a low, but realistic offer given the circumstances.
EA laughs at offer.
6-12 months later, the "low" offer looks more than reasonable.
Cheered me up, that has.
Re: Original property; not too clued-up on these things. Certainly, the EA told me it was a repo when I viewed it last year (and had all the tell-tale yellow ribbons festooned across all appliances & radiators). Is there a point at which - presumably the bank - says s0d-it and it goes to auction instead?
-
Yeh, "smell my cheese, you mother", as a certain A.Partridge once said.
Looks like your offer was more than reasonable.
Cheers Prof, it sure was given the state of the dump - the wife was mortified by my offer, and she wasn't there when I told him.
Meh, anyway their loss. I'll be buying Gary's house this time next year.
-
Mine's memorable only as the EA marketing this repo practically laughed at my derisory offer of 80k back in December....

In yer face Gary from Spicer McColl, Dagenham.
Tool.

one bought as an investment, not a lighthouse?
Perhaps the lighthouse is part of Sibbers BTL empire, through which he hopes to price-out potential FTBs from the booming lighthouse market?
-
I rent from Southwark Council which - according to one workman - is the biggest landlord in England (which probably accounts for the large number of pikeys and ne'er-do-wells round here).
-
His music treads a fine line with genius on one side and appalling and embarassing on the other, constantly appearing to be on the verge of becoming a joke, only to release further works of stunning creative individuality, all whilst clad in sensible cords and plimsoles.
Not to mention a face for the radio.....

The fact that our resident drunk - Ray, in case you're interested - can spend hours on the street every night shouting at inanimate objects (with can of Special Brew in hand, natch) without anyone so much as batting an eyelid.
If we ever move from the Aylesbury, there will always be a place in my heart for Ray.
Hurrah for English reservation.

If it serves to bring some HPC joy; my neck of the woods is - ahem - coming down like a ton of bricks. In Barking/Dagenham there is a glut of two-bed terraces between the 110 - 140k mark. I've noticed a lot of the listings 'require modernisation' which I presume equates to 'old dear snuffed it and hasn't had a lick of paint since 1976'.
I had hoped that by Q4 2009 they may reach lows of 80 - 100k (which wouldn't be too bad for East London/Essex borders). This one may well be SSTC but came on in April for 139k and have since dropped to 115k.

Presumably, looking in the skankier areas of Greater London means we won't be facing the vendor denial that seems to be rife on HPC....

Just reading these details is making me incandescent with rage - is there any chance of a latter-day Oliver Cromwell administering some justice? I'm up for a New Model Army....

The Land Registry, when accumulating their statistical evidence, to produce the average house price figures, are now considering, whether to include the prices of repossessed properties, sold at auctions.
These figures, would then also be published, on websites such as;
www.houseprices.co.uk, and nethouseprices.co.uk/
Personally I think this information should be included.
Please bump this when/if you get a response.

More signs we are close to the bottom!
*Sigh*
Shakes head in a vaguely pitying manner, the sort of look that one might give the runt of the litter.

Diva don't waste their time and yours.
You have enough for a 3 bed detatched house. That's your limit.
£327,000 is obviously out of your league.
What a spiteful little homunculus.
Sibley, (despite you misquoting the original figure) what would 327k buy in 2007? What would 327k buy in 2008? What can 327k buy in 2009? Lastly, what will 327k buy in 2010 - 2011?
Let's compare notes.

What. A. Hole.
It currently resembles Fritz Lang's 'Metropolis' due to the glut of new developments - no doubt hoping to capitalise on 2012 mania. Nevertheless, and similiarly to my neck of the woods SE17, you can add all the fancy, utopian developments to a place like Stratford but it doesn't address the fundemental socio-economic issues.
In other words; you can polish a turd, but it's still a turd.

What do you expect; they all dance to the same tune.
Mind you in their case, it probably sounds more like a funeral dirge....
