Yorkshire Lad Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 (edited) They are full of good advice: http://www.newsletter.co.uk/news/Opinion-d...rket.4971852.jp 12th Feb 09 Mr Mitchell has defended a newspaper article that he wrote in November 2007, in which he said "there's never been a better time to buy houses", since when Ulster house prices have plunged another 30 per cent.In the newspaper opinion piece, Mr Mitchell predicted a "fresh impetus" returning to the market in 2008. It later turned out that house price falls had accelerated at the time and continued to do so through 2008. Last October, Templeton Robinson again urged buyers "not to leave it too long" to buy as they "may miss the boat". Since then prices have continued to fall. And earlier this week Mr Mitchell attacked those who suggested prices may continue falling. Referring to his late 2007 advice that "there's never been a better time to buy", Mr Mitchell told the News Letter: "It depends how you qualify it. .

Tim Miller Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 http://www.contractjournal.com/Articles/20...nts-photos.htmlAnybody posted this already? At least by paying these people,they are providing jobs in these difficult times. Does anyone know if action will be taken against the developer or the estate agent? This surly is deception! The newspaper is not exactly snow white in this either, but then that's newspapers for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

200p Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 This is real bottom of the barrel behaviour. Remember business is out there to make money from the public - forget ethics, honesty and morals. Just sign on the dotted line! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saving For a Space Ship Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 There was a US youtube vid on hpc a few months back, where property developers had hired fake paparazzi for the opening events of their blocks of flats. :angry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huntergatherer Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Saw an advert in a city newspaper in the south east for estate agent jobs; negotiators and mortgage consultants both senior and junior positions available (experience not necessary for junior positions) due to the rise in the housing market they were expanding their business in the south east. Do not know if this was a fake advert but for was for known local firm. Risky jobs and risky business in these times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
