Not bothered, just wants to rubbish it and make sure people dont panic and do something daft like drop their house prices. As the years go on I am more inclined to think there is a government agency at work as opposed to some a-hole self serving BTL/2nd hand house salesmen type....then again, maybe not.

sta100 Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Twenty thing I didn't buy a house in 2007, invested in a business instead and created something real. Now do I not only have enough money to buy something decent in cash, I didn't make it sitting around doing naff all. Even if there's a massive HPC I can go out and generate more wealth, so no wonder people like you are constantly crapping it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why did you feel compelled to do that? I disputed a post that stated that with half a million quid give or take they couldn't afford anything decent in an area just outside of London. I presented four properties covering a large area of the SE that went against that assertion, and am awaiting any sort of reasoned argument except 'feelings' - as Shapiro quite wisely said, facts don't care about your feelings. The facts are that someone who allegedly has a six figure deposit and a six figure salary can very much afford plenty of decent properties, however unfair it may be they cannot buy their dream 4 bed house in leafy Guildford or wherever the heck they are trying to buy. I was then asked by yourself do I not wonder how my children will afford housing which is why I then spelt out my likely financial position in a few decades time. I am not uniquely talented or rich, I am part of the reasonably well off middle classes who likely all have a similar position to myself. I bet there are hundreds of thousands of people just like me with savings, shares and a property. It was not an attempt at bragging, it was an attempt at answering a question you put to me. It is your issue entirely that you have taken this as showing off or being self-congratulatory. Now of course instead of trying to put any sort of counter argument together as to why 500k is not enough, you have decided to just sum it all up as babble to avoid having to explain anything. Spectacular. Well done. I haven't clicked on page 5 yet, but I'm sure it will contain the usual suspects in the usual echo chamber shouting troll and estate agent.

Yup and here we have it, the troll catcher general. It is quite fascinating that this person thinks that this site has such wide reaching and deep societal penetration that I need to come online and make sure that prices don't crash. The entire country comes on here to get their property news, so I have some dark agenda to keep up prices. What an utter clown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I just can't imagine what your identity would be if it turns out that HPI is just a cancerous ponzi scheme that's screwed up society. Surely the ego would be particularly scared if all those gains were wiped out tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely the ego would be particularly scared if all those gains were wiped out tomorrow. I have said repeatedly that I don't see my house as an investment. I have said repeatedly that I am nothing special, and am just an ordinary middle class bloke. I have only recently brought in, so not sure what gains you are talking about? I believe that things have gone up in 2020, and the wider press / publications would tend to back me up on that fact. I'm presenting an alternative opinion, and as usual it is just dismissed as trolling or someone with a huge ego, or an estate agent or whatever. I don't disagree that HPI has had a negative impact on society, and it has had a negative impact on me over the years in terms of what I can afford. Take a step out of the echo chamber.

You don't even have kids yet, but you are happily conceding they would be entirely dependent on your financial circumstances in order to get on the ladder - and you are "at peace with it." Priceless.

Unless the area he is looking in is Mayfair or Kensington then it does prove a point. But. He won’t post any specifics so this is a pointless discussion. I’m not conceding that any kids of mine would be dependant upon me for their first property, but it’s a possibility hey? Much as BOMAD has helped increasingly large numbers in the current day. I’m at peace with not losing my mind about it. I don’t know how many times I can say to you I don’t think this is a great situation. This is boring. I’ll let you have the last post.
