  1. If the house for 335k sells then it will set the price for all similar houses on the street. I would love to see the faces of the idiots next door if this happens!
  2. Many EA's have only survived this crash by diversifying into letting.
  3. I thought everyone knows already that renters are utter scummers. My great Aunt hates her next door neighbours because they are renters and don't own their own house. Everybody should aspire to owning their own house don't you know. If you don't own your own house then you are a loser and someone to be pittied.
  4. You need to be careful that you don't get gazumped, as the market is red hot at the moment according to my local EA. I suggest that if someone comes in with a higher offer that you increase your offer by £60,000. Just use your credit cards. Don't worry about this as you will easily make another £100,000 in the next two years to pay off your credit cards.
  5. You better get in there quick as an EA told me today that it is bidding war season again as we enter the Spring house buying frenzy! If you don't close this deal soon you may lose the property.
  6. Like most criminals, King is a compulsive liar. I don't expect the BoE to raise rates unless they are forced to.
  7. Clearly what we need now is more QE or we surely risk the scary prospect that housing might become affordable in the near future.
  8. Stretch yourself as far as you can as everyone knows that property values always double every seven years! You will be a millionaire!
  9. King is a criminal and should be tried for the deception, fraud, theft and the financial pillaging of the British people. When will the sheeple finally wake up and get out on the streets! I fail to see the difference between Osborne Osbourne/Mervyn King and Hosni Mobarak?
  10. It will be a cold day in hell when the BBC run one of these pieces and state the bleeding obvious that it is the fact that shelter in the UK is so hidiously overpriced and this is the main reason why young couples such as this can't afford to "get on the ladder." :angry:
  11. Loads of the sheep apply for these schemes. All the housebuilders are involved in such schemes to "help" FTB's and it remains the main policy of the new government (as it was the previous administration) unfortunately. :angry:
  12. -1.7 % - a very precise figure not to scare the masses. Surely they mean prices will fall by 1.7 % per month???
  13. Are you even sure that these "bids" were genuine? In my experience auctioneers almost always utilise "bids off the wall" - when the auctioneer invents a fictional bidder for you to bid against (somehow this is perfectly legal). Unfortunately, however, auctioneers have about as much integrity as estate agents when it comes to sharp practices such as these and that is why I always make sure I have a friend in the room who looks out for bids off the wall. When my friend gives me the signal that the auctioneer is employing such tactics I remove myself from the bidding process immediately.
  14. It's time to lay off Cameron's and Osbourne's banker friends now. Don't you realise that if we continue with this banker bashing then the most talented and sought after bankers in the City will have no choice other than to abandon these shores for good. Then what would we do? Furthermore, what is wrong with subsidising the bankers? Personally, I think the government has not made nearly enough cut backs in the public sector to pay for the trillion pound bail out. As we are "all in this together", surely we can take away more services from vulnerable people, as it's only fair that children with severe handicaps take more of their share of the burden. In general I also prefer a tax on unborn children so we can preserve the value of our homes. I mean after all I have worked very hard in the past ten years (sitting on my bottom) to ensure that my house price has trebled in value.
  15. Aren't these figures due soon? Don't they usually get released on the same day as the muppets make their IR decision (yesterday)?
  16. I'm surprised that there aren’t more disgruntled students out on the streets of central London today. The banksters (with the help of their ministerial puppets in government) have participated in a policy of "eat your young" for the last two decades. It has been a blatant inter-generational transfer of wealth organised by the boomer generation - pure and simple. The banksters knew that the UK would be a perfect country to pull this off as the populous tends to be deferential and compliant. When the boomer banksters and their governmental puppets were younger they received a free university education and you could easily afford to buy a house on a standard wage on a single salary. However, over the past 20 years there has been a mass brainwashing to convince the British public that you need both parties in a relationship to be in work to buy a house. Youngsters have also been conned into going to university in ever increasing numbers in order to deal with the high youth unemployment figures. It's absolutely sickening that the UK has decided to eat its young but at the same time - absolute genius! The UK is a sick, sick country run by a small elite for their own advancement. If more people realised just how badly they have been screwed then every town and city up and down this country would be ablaze right now! Sadly, however, the bovine masses just watch X Factor and carry on oblivious. Meanwhile, the price of shelter remains out of the reach of most twenty and thirty somethings and it will never be in reach of these poor debt enslaved youngster. Sadly, we are returning to a Victorian society where only the most privileged will be able to buy a house. RB is right, TPTB in this country are just too strong for there ever to be affordable shelter. Can the last person to leave England please turn out the light.
  17. I think you are right. However, this will all have to come out in the wash in the early part of 2011 - they are simply just delaying the inevitable to stop the sheeple from getting too depressed before Christmas!
  18. Something tells me that this -0.1% figure was heavilly seasoned. Something tells me that they are trying to manage the declines steadily to avoid a panick. In the New Year they will then revise down the last few monthly figures.
  19. Waste of time - you will get a standard reply, fob off email after about 2 weeks if you are lucky!
  20. House prices in Oz are even more crazy than in the UK
  21. I have been tracking prices in the Coventry and North Warks area over the past couple of weeks and I am noticing a good £10 k - £25 k off a number of four bed detached properties. Some people will always NEED to sell and these will be the properties that set the new prices for such properties.
  22. I am so worried that RB has finally lost the plot that I have decided to post for the first time in two years! There is only one way in which house prices are going and that is down. There is no way that wages are going to go up and the banks will not be lending silly multiples again for a VERY long time. Take a chill pill my impatient bear!
  23. Isn't ironic that we can only get the truth now from a media channel from the ex-Soviet Union and Aunty Pravda (bastion of impartiality ) will do anything not to reveal what is actually going on! The UK a democracy - don't make me laugh, the UK is one of the biggest hypocrites on the planet. Maybe we should get our own house in order before we start criticising nations such as Russia for having a "state controlled media."
