DonnieDarker Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Surprised this isnt on the weblinks slot yet. There is a 1 page article in Today's Bricks & Mortar section talking DOWN BTL as a viable investment arena and talking up stocks. Good to see such bearish reporting going on amidst the pages and pages of adverts for new "luxury flats". Bet the advertisers arent too pleased!

blackbrogue Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 I also enjoyed reading this piece, especially the use of the expression "buy to boast"!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonnieDarker Posted September 9, 2005 Author Share Posted September 9, 2005 I spend a lot of time reading through the press for stories about the house market and I can honestly say that in the last month there has been a PALPABLE shift in sentiment in reporting. In mainstream arenas like Bricks & Mortar (essentially a advertorial supplement) you are seeing very negative reporting. To have this and the FT article on the same day is terrific news. The tide is gathering pace! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonnieDarker Posted September 9, 2005 Author Share Posted September 9, 2005 (edited) I'm quite shocked this article has not been discussed more today. I'd have thought it's one of the best piece of news HPC will have been witness to for months? The story is here: http://property.timesonline.co.uk/article/...1769541,00.html READ!

backtoparents Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 None of this tells us when prices will start to rise again, but in locations that pass these tests they will, with Central London leading the way.Geoff Marsh is the managing director of London Property Research. So this is a London VI, telling people not to invest anywhere that doesn't meet London criteria. Reminds me of the bit in Pitch Black where the flying beasties start tearing each other up in mid-air. /G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonnieDarker Posted September 9, 2005 Author Share Posted September 9, 2005 What I like about the article is that is gives the impression of being even-handed which makes it all the more convincing. It's great to read such bearishness from someone who is in the business of BTLing. Very interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
