slater14 Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 I think thats a very noble gesture hanging those signs, but the proof of the pudding so to speak..... Hands up who has registered with HPC as a result of those flyers up in Harrogate? Sadly, I dont think it works for this sort of thing. You have to have a certain financial outlook to come looking for HPC in the first place. You have to have that nagging doubt in your mind over where all this money is coming from and how is it going to be paid back or who is going to pay it back and who could afford to buy your house if it rises another 100% in a few short years..... All this I'm afraid is beyond most of Retail Spendaholics UKplc. I think most of UK is so far into this in one form or another (MEW, Loans, Mortages, BTL, etc) that they darent acknowledge what they must now surely know....if they do acknowlege it, what happens? CRASH. If they refuse to acknowledge it - who knows, it might just go away. ....that, I'm afraid to say seems to be the current financial thinking of the vast majority of people caught up in this bubble. I went to Harrogate a couple of years ago, lovely part of the world.....and lots of Ferrari's I seem to recall! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The seeds sown last year have grown. The fact that she lost it so much sort of gave us publicity that at the time we didn't really deserve. The word backfire leaps to mind...

slater14 Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 HANDS UP ALL THOSE WITH A VESTED INTEREST IN KEEPING PROPERTY PRICES ARTIFICIALLY HIGH ? (MR SLATER)<{POST_SNAPBACK}> sign of the times, I didnt mean to knock you mate. I just dont think most of the population is ready to hear whats being said......its too frightening! Have you read my signature? I have predicted a 50% correction (crash) in house prices. Indeed only this morning I posted the same figure on another topic.....I hardly think that makes a VI in keeping prices high. I know prices are too high, so I sold some property late last year and early this year in the certain knowledge that prices WILL crash....the only question is when, not if. Stage One is upon us - prices have STOPPED rising - now we wait for the 'trigger' that will make prices fall. I expect 50% whatever the 'trigger' turns out to be. That will bring average HP back to 3.5 times income. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dicky Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 Rule 1 of Fight Club: Don't talk about Fight Club. This is sounding a little familar guys, the market is correcting itself all on its own, when the bottom of the pyrmid has risen beyond its foundations, ie FTB's 25 somethings can't buy, BTLer's yields down stack up, the natural laws of physics takes over.

paulm Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 (edited) All you need now is an a4 laminator from argos. Then it will be a question of, which'll collapse first, your posters or uk house prices. Edited July 8, 2005 by paulm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullish Bear Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 Are there any designers out there that can design an A5 flyer to pin to lamp-posts or to drop through letterboxes which advertises Housepricecrash.co.uk along with some pertinent facts about the property market?
