TeddyBear Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Just seen a poster for participants for a new property porn programme being made for ITV. Sounds like it should be reported to the FSA for trying to trick people into paying too much for "sale, one day only, outbid your rivals" properties. Here's the ridiculous story... ARE YOU LOOKING TO BUY YOUR IDEAL HOME NOW? • ARE YOU INTERESTED IN A ONCE IN A LIFETIME BUYING OPPORTUNITY AND THE CHANCE TO VIEW PROPERTIES AT A DISCOUNTED RATE? • CAN YOU OUTWIT RIVAL BUYERS TO BAG YOUR DREAM PROPERTY? Drive to Buy will give four pairs of house-hunters the exclusive opportunity to view three properties on the market at a special discounted rate. Travelling from property to property on the Drive to Buy bus, the house hunters are all looking for similar properties at similar prices. They can each make one official bid on one of the properties, but there’s a catch – offers can only be made immediately after viewing the property. Once the bus drives away the property is ‘off the market’. This is the first property programme of its kind that brings house hunters face-to-face with their house-buying rivals in a nail biting game of property poker. If you are a house-hunter in a position to buy a property in August - October 2011 and are interested in taking part in this original programme then please contact....

I do hope some bored HPCers have got themselves on the show and will ruin it by then telling the truth to camera :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Self Employed Youth Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Shouldn't property porn involve stripping? Lead flashing, copper piping, boilers etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
