Deckard Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Compulsively posting in every thread that the time to buy is NOW, DON'T MISS OUT ! Enjoy negative equity you BTL trolls, and keep the entertainment coming. I suggest that every day we honor their most laughable efforts in this thread.

It's the reason I've returned actively in 2020 ? Speed1987 confirmed he's a landlord, which explains an awful lot about his "buy NOW!!" posting.

dougless Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 With a bit of luck Sunak's Stamp Duty bung will temporarily fire up the housing market before it goes into a death spiral. Incidentally, has anyone noticed the similarity between Sunak and a Don Martin cartoon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sammersmith Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 (edited) I do think landlords will take this opportunity and start buying if they are able. They are not getting SDLT removed completely, but they are getting a discount in the form of the basic rate being removed. This is as good an opportunity as they are going to get and they know it. I also think unsophisticated buyers will jump in and not see the contradiction of paying £20K more to save £5K SDLT. I know people like this and similar happily ignorant people were giving testimonials on BBC News earlier. They might be saved from their stupidity by lack of mortgage deals on their low deposit. What happens in November will be interesting. Furlough is definitely gone and i suspect the weekday £10 restaurant sub and £1k to keep staff on till January isn't going to cut it. SDLT changes will be hailed as a success and could be extended beyond April. This would have the opposite effect by removing the urgency though. HTB could be extended then too. I was planning to buy Jan/Feb and had my eye on a few places. I think i'll sit this particular boom out and push back my plans till post March. Only adds a few months and i can't see the optimism lasting longer than that. Edited July 8, 2020 by sammersmith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamcasting Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 The thought that a VI, someone in negative equity, an EA or a BTLer would waste time posting to this forum is laughable. This forum is pro-HPC which has pretty much a negligible effect on the general public, pretty much due to almost zilch exposure. If I was in such a desperate state for any reason because of property and I was trying to big up the market or anything, there would be absolutely zero point in trying to do it here.

24gray24 Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 I suspect the government thinking is to get the housing market turning as normal by Christmas. But it's what lenders do on ftb's and their deposits that decide the house prices. Given the stagflation warnings, people won't want their savings in cash, so this could prop the market up for a few months. Alas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamcasting Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 What's actually sad is the fact that the regular guys who post to this forum should have been right. House prices actually should have fallen really hard after 2008. They didn't, because there's been a paradigm shift that they can't understand. Fundamentals don't play a part in any market and haven't for at least 15 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamcasting Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 The real worry for those who don't own a property (yes, own, not mortgaged) is the fear they'll end up holding a bag of worthless fiat, whilst having nowhere to live at the same time (well, I suppose there is that underpass) Based on this socialist government, it wouldn't surprise me that even those with very large mortgages get to stay in their house regardless.

It's been 15 years, and this is a long time, but do you feel this could continue for another 15, or 50, or 100 years? Will there never be enough stimulus that could increase prices and the, increasingly priced out, population will always want higher prices? This is an honest question as I often hear people saying that this is a new normal but to my mind 15 years is short in the grand scheme of things, and in the last five years the stimulus seems to lack the boom effect of 2013/14.

Roman Roady Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 I enjoy the range of views on here. However I too have noticed the increase in VI promotional posts of late...I take it as a barometer of the situation. Is there a list of offenders?

It's a really good question, but I believe the paradigm shift was strong in the early phases which caused a lot of damage over a relatively short period of time. Not so sure about how long we find ourselves in this new world, except to say that today is very very different to 20 years ago. Personally, I see a lot of deeply damaged people who are really going to struggle over the next few decades, both financially and emotionally.

These trolls could really do with practicing a bit of self-discipline and keeping the mask on for more than 30 seconds. It's a bit obvious what the game is when you get a concerned-for-your-wellbeing post and then 2 posts later they're lashing out with the insults. This new batch is definitely not the creme de la creme of trolls. Edited July 8, 2020 by Dorkins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its about I won't invest my money but I also don't want others to invest their money and profit from it. Corbyn followers have same mind set. They can't stand anybody succeeding by taking risk, investing , profiting. Keep watching this space, in 10 years these commies will be saying "I will buy only if prices fall back to 2020 levels". They don't want to take risk in housing but are happy to invest in covid driven investments. Ignore them, their hatred will be rewarded with one more Tory victory until New Labour emerges. Success, planning, patience, risk taking always attracts envy and jealousy. Ignore them. Continue to invest in what you believe and manage the risks. You will succeed.

Blink Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 What person in their right mind would buy a house now, to save £3k on stamp duty, when if they simply wait a few months they'll save twice that in the crash?! If I ask, are people are that stupid, I mean it rhetoricaly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
