leefam83 Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 On the BBC news this morning, Halifax reports 25 year low of FTB yet , yet they still show people talking about "help from parents " " New mortgage products", When for the love of God will these ****ing muppetts see the light. What do they have to see before they admit the market is F***ed. At least we are seeing mainstream commentry on one of the fundamentals I suppose, but all it would take is for the BBC to end their report on a truthful note and we would have a result. Does anyone see anything positive from this report from a bearish view ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dnd Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 (edited) Only FTB's left buying now are suckers for spin and the rich/inheritence Given all this spin - they MUST need FTB's in the market - I'm just waiting for it to collapse Edited January 28, 2006 by dnd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battenberg Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 This was also on teletext yesterday. They pointed out that it now takes around 5 years for FTB's to save for a deposit and they need on average 23k compared to approx 9k 5 years ago.

Elizabeth Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Actually I have noticed less not more of this sort of tripe in the press lately. Its probably on there rota of topical discussions, to be dragged back on a regular basis, but less and less people are willing to be the brain dead happy clappy moron that writes/presents it.

The ave FTB does not have this sort of money. Loads of people Ive known put down they are FTB, when in actual fact many have owned in the past and still have equity in a savings account.
