The Masked Tulip Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 The blonde lady representing the national federation of estate agents was hilariously very poor IMPO. The bearded economic guy was brilliant - he used the term housepricecrash, said that loads of people are going to lose their homes whether the economy picks up or not, says that there should have been a lot more repossessions by now if it had not been for policy not to repossess. Brilliant bear feast for a HPCer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
neon tetra Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 The guy with the beard came out with some good lines at the end. Worth watching, and pleasing that he got in phrases like House Price Crash and BoE punishing the prudent in order to keep people who have borrowed too much in houses they can't afford...

Shotoflight Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Lovely. Economist ended on a high note. Not BOE's job to punish prudent and save overstreched mortgagees who shouldn't be in houses they obviously can't afford in the first place. Expects many more repos in this crash to purge the dysfunctional market and aid recovery, eventually. Lady EA inarticulate, ill informed, blinded by self interest and worse than useless. A disgrace on women's day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ursus darling Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 don't you know that "a survey in america reported that house prices were VITAL to the economy, and that equates to jobs" she was a complete airhead. would love to see this discussion in 10 years time. she was absolutely terrible.

Beardy said worse than the 1990s for the HPC, "It's not the BoE's job to prop up the housing market" Has Jonathan Davis got a false beard by any chance?

Brilliant bear feast for a HPCer. Seemed to be saying that if it picked up, mortgage and base rates are going up, if it didn`t, mortgage rates are going up anyway. Game on, there will be a big HPC, it was always in the post, I think Postie man just swung a leg out the van. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
