Webmaster Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 Anyone fancy heckling Wriglesworth? Boom, Bust or Bumping Along - What does the future hold for the UK property market?Debate at the Property Investor Show 2005 (Excel Centre) Saturday 24th September 2:00pm in the “Issues Facing Investors Today” Theatre (No. 6) The property market has reached a turning point in 2005. Although it is unclear which way it is set to turn! The thought-provoking views of our panellists will provide an excellent platform for investors interested in knowing which way the market is heading. Property pundits and economists are split on whether the market is set to boom – as a result of Self-Invested Personal Pensions (SIPPs) and possibly even London’s winning the Olympics. Or will the market bust under the weight of debt that has fuelled prices doubling over the last few years. Probably the most popular opinion is that prices will flatten out for a while before continuing their inexorable rise over the long term. · What has happened to property prices over the last year? · How does the market fare today in terms of prices achieved and volumes of sales? · Will first-time buyers play as important a role in the future property market or have property investors taken their place for ever? · How will the market be affected by the introduction of pension changes that allow residential property to benefit from tax relief as of next April (SIPPs)? · Do the fundamentals – interest rates, debt burden, employment levels, earning’s growth – suggest a recipe for disaster or stability in the market? Our expert panel will answer these and many more questions. The panel is includes John Wriglesworth, economist and spokesman for property research organisation Hometrack; James Ferguson, economist and regular contributor to Money Week magazine; Richard Bowser, editor of Property Investor News and; Ranjan Bhattacharya, investor and property expert. The debate will be chaired by Nick Booker of property news and analysis service In2Perspective. The audience will be mostly made up of property investors who will no doubt have plenty of interesting questions for the panel. Several invited guests – representing a variety of views – will also be present. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freelance Mycophagist Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 So the panel comprises 3 bulls and 1 bear. Looks like they'll stampede their way to a 'stagnation' concensus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apom Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 So the panel comprises 3 bulls and 1 bear. Looks like they'll stampede their way to a 'stagnation' concensus.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Reasoned argument. go to make up numbers.. But only speak if you have clear points to make. Does there need to be a thresd where clear arguments can be submitted for consideration by people who could go, present their argument well...? Or should we turn up in numbers and try to offer a different perspective...? The article suggests that they are aware of things like crushing debt and housing oversupply.. that it was a speculative market.. Chances are there are some very afraid investors that will attend. If it is to be reported int he press it would be better to stear the argument toward the true economic facts.. then to heckle.. But heckling would be funny.. so swings and roundabouts...

liquid Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 Please forgive me Webmaster, but I had to laugh at this. I loved the title, that it’s pinned, and of all the pinned messages, that it has the lowest replies and views. For a site that is dedicated to the discussion of the UK property market, this is irony at its best. I jest of course, and the days not over yet ps. I guess wrigglesworth has enough sleepless nights as it is when he reads HPC! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

classixuk Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Is anyone going then? Perhaps someone could go along and write a freelance report for the press? We've been getting quite alot of press recently, so no doubt this would be a good slant for a story to be published? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquid Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 Is anyone going then? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm going. I'll be the one wearing a t-shirt that says 'kirsty eats hat'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
