I have a cunning plan - HPC (in partnership with the Daily Mail) knows a dental nurse who is desperate to downsize.... http://www.housepricecrash.co.uk/forum/ind...p;hl=daily+mail No, hear me out; house-swaps will become the trendy solution to the credit-crunch (AND stamp duty is only payable on the difference )

Aaw, poor Jarred

Let's just project the CCTV pictures live to the cinema screen and take this reality TV culture to it's logical conclusion

Does this mean the Spring Bounce is over ?

Anyone else play "Chav or Boomer ?" on Rightmove ? When scrolling through a Rightmove search, I've noticed that almost EVERY property can be mentally labelled "Chav" or "Boomer" - I can usually say it by the first photograph. It's a bit of harmless fun to counter those never-changing asking prices - try playing it at home

My only suggestion is that had they had watched a property porn programme about "bringing the outside inside" ....but miss-heard.

"Aspirational pricing" continues in Oxfordshire - we are most definitely still in the denial phase PS. Appropriate to have a "decked area" given the flooding seen in that neck of the woods

Yes, it's Coogan again http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/7507904.stm "The plan could receive a cool welcome from those who believe it would involve the state having to underwrite the housing market" - "cool" is one word for it - any others ?

Sadly "Top Shop" is already taken

Exactly - doesn't stack up at all I already commented that I couldn't find this house for sale, but just now I noticed the front garden - I can't believe that barren, scorched lawn could have been caused by weather anywhere in the UK so far this year.

I couldn't find the house for sale on RM (although the article doesn't made it clear that it's in Stratford-on-Avon). The whole thing just has a "scripted" feel

Mid-March, 2008 "I am hearing rumours of a downturn in the housing market, and there are very worrying reports of a 'credit crunch' coming over here from the U.S. I've got no idea what this is" - that's what reading the Daily Wail does to you

Salary £1500 pm School fees £20k pa Keeping the X3 on the road...priceless

So much for the audience with Caroline Flint....after building it up the whole series, they didn't even debate the topic ! Jaysus, if Krusty is the Tories housing spokesperson then they really have no chance.

My favourite HPC pin-up property in Chiswick - ANOTHER £100k off http://www.rightmove.co.uk/viewdetails-198...se&tr_t=buy

Was it in 1980 that Trevor McDoughnut launched his job loss "totalizer" on News At Ten ? It used to update at the bottom of the screen like an odometer as Trev reported the daily redundancies. Time to dig it out again

BBC is now reporting 2000 jobs lost at Persimmon. Mistake, misinformation or news management ?

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10...l.html#comments £200 per week income - that's a lot less than Sid and Doris Bonkers (admitedly Robin and Winsome have shelved the safari for this year)

Halifix "HPI" now due Wednesday "tentative" - what gives ?

Sorry, nice attempt but parody is now impossible - see the "Daily Mail Saturday; do they expect sympathy" thread about Robin and Winsome (really) Ward

Argos workers vote for stoppage - summer of discount-tent becomes summer of discontent ? (sorry)

- any news of panic-buying ? (9 carat gold chains and miniature snooker tables)

Cutting prices eh - a radical departure. "Incentive packages" comprising legal fees, curtains and a toilet upgrade are clearly no longer enough to hypnotise today's £19k pa young professionals.

"A first-time buyer's story: First-time buyers are having to find larger deposits as the credit crunch continues to affect potential homeowners." The whole piece is incoherent nonsense - the headline bemoans FTB's "having to find larger deposits" and then the article features a couple who are in deep trouble because they [i]didn't[/i] wait to buy with a larger deposit. What is the BBC actually complaining about ?
