porca misèria Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Just heard (maybe 20 minutes ago) on R4, talk about FTBs, FirstBuy, houseprices, etc. Someone uttered the core HPC heresy: FTBs should just hang in there for the time being, and wait for prices to fall. Some more HPC wisdom, but I only had half an ear on it so I couldn't give detail. Which HPCer just got onto R4? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other was someone from "priced out". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some more HPC wisdom, but I only had half an ear on it so I couldn't give detail. Which HPCer just got onto R4? This is actually pretty common mainstream thought now. When was the last time you heard an argument against this (apart from on niche VI websites and 5 years old property porn which keeps getting recycled on the tele). No-one wants high house prices. To be honest, I knew few people - usually conceited gits - who wanted HPI in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordonBrownSpentMyFuture Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 0:45 - 0:46 : Consumer advocate Martin Lewis says... "I think the real problem out there is that we have a national issue over... some people seem to think that renting is a dirty word, you have a right to buy a property and it's the only form of inflation that we celebrate... "The real solution to getting first time buyers in there is for house prices to come down and that is a national debate that we need to have." I think that warrants a and a couple of Thank you, Martin. Now will you please say that on your own website - preferably the housing forum. Thanks.

GordonBrownSpentMyFuture Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 That interviewer was a total ar se. Clearly had no grasp of the situation whatsoever. Could barely contain himself with insincere excitement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
