As usual, I guess it'll be skewed/edited to whatever shades of opinion they're aiming for. I'll still watch it, though. Thanks for posting.

Alfie Moon Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Are we certain that this won't be a pro boom house price programme? Might it not be arguing that the property market is changing forever whereby house prices will not crash because we are turning into a society whereby people will rent rather than buy? Doesn't Jonathan Maitland own some BTL's? I could be wrong, of course, but I feel a bit wary about this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Monk Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Jonathan Maitland presented a prorgamme about a year ago in which Katy John from PricedOut and our own FP appeared and he came across as bearish on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beggar Thy Children Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 If I remember rightly, Maitland did get into BTL but sold up early when he saw bubble in flashing neon lights. I remember him on another programme years ago saying he knew it was time to get out "when main street follows wall street" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

or in excess of Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 If I remember rightly, Maitland did get into BTL but sold up early when he saw bubble in flashing neon lights. I remember him on another programme years ago saying he knew it was time to get out "when main street follows wall street" I also seem to remember him losing a fortune on day trading, at the height of the dotcom bubble.

ralphmalph Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 £280,000 for a council house they paid £20,000 for. This is why parents have hammered into thier kids that renting is dead money buying a house is the way to go. I do not offer any opinion as to whether the above statement is right or worng.

needsleep Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 £280,000 for a council house they paid £20,000 for. My mum and dad have a similar story. My dad was a manager at a hospital and when the hospital closed and sold off the staff housing he bought his house for £17k in 1985. Now worth well in excess of £200k. Some people have been very, very lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
