Papa Serf Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Grant Shapps said:That's a false choice. What I've said is that if pricing are stable and don't regular exceed, say, average earnings then this in itself would be helpful over the long term. This isn't an instant fix, but an instant fix solution of prices diving would have all sorts of consequences on for example people who borrow against their homes to set up small businesses. If someone borrowed against their house and the price of that house goes down, why should that loan now be unaffordable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScrewsNutsandBolts Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I think I've just posted my last comment there: @GrantShapps "prices diving would have all sorts of consequences" Prices are too high and you must know that. You want a whole generation to be exploited by extortionate housing costs?! You b@stard! Guardian censorship should kick in at any second now. Surprised it didn't kick in straight away... but thanks for getting it on even if only for a couple of minutes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leicestersq Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Fair enough. He did respond though, but with more nonsense: So as long as the gap is closed over 'the long term', everything is A-ok. It wasnt a good reply. He talked about the benefit to aspirant homeowners. What happens to businessmen who have mortgaged their homes against loans is irrelevant to aspirant home owners. Falling house prices is always good for those wishing to buy a home to live in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milton Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 (edited) Its no good guys. Were going to have to get out on the streets throwing petrol bombs and screaming...... ****** ME. What a chore. If I had been born just one or two year earlier, I would have got a mortgage, and had a half decent life. If not for the stupid ignorant greedy self interested THIEVING bastards in charge.

leicestersq Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I wonder if he will address mine later? I doubt it. That said, throwing insults probably doesnt help the cause. Far better to let the foolishness of the current tax and spend policies distorting the housing market to expose themselves in the daft answers those defending the policy would be forced to give.

skewed value Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 ConcernedFTB is either Sibley or the moderator. It wouldnt suprise me with The Guardian. I can't see how I broke their silly rules. Hope he gets the message. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordonBrownSpentMyFuture Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 No sign of Hamish or Sibley telling teacher on us yet. And good as gold... ConcernedFTB 9 March 2011 3:41PM Mr Shapps, on behalf of FTB's everywhere l'll apologise for some of the rude remarks coming from the housepricecrash crowd. They are an extremist minority and don't reprsent us at all. I hope you don't think we're all like that. And I'd love an answer about lending, and why you can't pressure the banks more, as thats the real problem for most of us. Well done, ConcernedBTL / ConcernedEA. Well done. Have a gold star.

The Knimbies who say No Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 It wasnt a good reply. He talked about the benefit to aspirant homeowners. What happens to businessmen who have mortgaged their homes against loans is irrelevant to aspirant home owners. Falling house prices is always good for those wishing to buy a home to live in. Indeed, but now we have the official line, straight from the horse's mouth. The elimination of any doubt over the government's position is worth something in itself. The good thing is I don't think they can do much about it ultimately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
