Question About House Buying (attempt 2)
chichi replied to OMG Its Me's topic in House prices and the economy
The only problems offering that low at the moment is EA think you're a nutter. get the house price solds for that street for all time. See what's sold recently, has there been a big drop as someone's succumbed to a BMV sale. Some EA haven't ever seen house price drops... so this must be coming as a shock. If something else has sold comparably sized on that street for a lot less than the asking price - then point this out - say house prices are dropping and then point out all the negatives against the property you want (ie: smaller garden, windows need replacing, boiler old, etc etc) - It'll still make you sound like a doom-monger though. But we all know the economy isn't getting better for some time to come. -

chichi replied to ScaredEitherWay's topic in House prices and the economy
The show's concept is very two faced. It's almost as if at this stage in the property market he's set out to make a really fun version of propertyladder witht the schaudenfraud of having the auction "loser" come back and laugh. -

Economics was available at my school. I didn't know why people wanted to do it though - I did economic and public affairs - much more interesting. Mind you that was about a zillion years ago. -

Leeds Property Millionaire In Denial
chichi replied to CviewUK's topic in House prices and the economy
Aww poor sod. Never mind the nice tax payers will make it all better. -
Saw that on the news and it looks like an incredibly complicated piece of equipment compared to just having a weekly bin collection. Now if they took the rubbish and turned it into energy onsite then that'd be something else. It's just increasing the size of the lorry that comes to collect the rubbish and as anyone who's ever been in a building with a refuse chute will tell you, they get blocked.

Government "work For Welfare" A Crap Idea
chichi replied to Pindar's topic in House prices and the economy
The minister on the news said previous recessions had hidden the number of people unemployed. Then he went on to dismiss Sian's claims of 2M unemployed - but they're the CBI's figures she said, BUT JSA claiments total 1M he told her. Well as long as it's only half the people unemployed can claim JSA thats fine. -
Too many old people and too many scroungers.

Write to your local paper - they've all got email addresses so it doesn't even cost you a stamp.

It's the "we've not decided what to do with it" that indicates the muppetry. If you're selling it on you either bought it cheap enough to tidy quickly and sell on. Or bought it cheap to do up and sell on at a profit Too many people confusing property developing with BTL. Same with this guy on buyitbankit - he's not sure what he's going to do with it "mumbles about housing market" but it's essential to know what your plan is.

What will we do in the UK? We'll have to find a non-uk call centre to bash. -
Actaully the bog isn't such a bad idea. Put his name into google and see all those ads. You could easily use news stories to regularly create fresh content on his name for all those ads and promote his book too.

New Target For The Anti-terror Spies: Village Paperboys
chichi replied to markinspain's topic in House prices and the economy
Once they know the names they only have to ask at the school if permission has been asked by the children to work. I am pretty certain they were able to do this under previous rules without standing on their left foot with their hanky on their head hopping in a reverse circle saying "i am looking for terrorist" -
