AvidFan Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Uneven picture of the UK housing market... BBC turning bearish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29929BlackTuesday Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Never! It'll be "but 8% up overall in the year so that's ok" Remember the Bbc are the worst VIs of all time - they're the mouthpiece of No10. Shun them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deadman Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Well. That was like the feeling you get when you're very thirsty and you try to quench yourself with a tepid glass of weak lemon cordial. Absolutely pathetic. The BBC have no ******** whatsofu*kingever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OzzMosiz Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 I thought it was alright "London and South east rising, but take those out of the equation and house prices fell" Stuff about interest rate rises having an effect and debt issues and borrowing tightening. It was good......for the BBC!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

equitystasher Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 (edited) The most balanced report I have seen from the BBC for a long time. I would not expect the BBC to talk down the market unless we get actual MoM national falls. Ok so we had a EA stating in a area which was falling "were ok were ok" People believe EA's as much as politicians. Overall impression was that it was falling in most places and it was only the SE and London holding national prices up or a few areas where people are buying second homes. But on the horizon we have 5 interest rate rises affecting many people coming off fixed rates and problems from the US possibly affecting lending which was reported. I think us bears should be pleased with that report.No mention of the C word but no mention of supply and demand or BTL propping up the market either. A overall more balanced point I think.

GAL BEAR Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 I didn't think it was too bad, bUT WHY OH WHY do they always have to drag out some pathetic EA? Why not get a more 'balanced' opinion, I mean its like trying to get the POPE to admit there is no GOD !!! It ain't gonna happen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R K Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 I thought it was reasonably measured. Wales is f*cked W. Midlands is nearly f*cked London saves the day, smug grin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had that chap mention house prices reflect local economic conditions and then spliced in the US bit (credit conditions). These figures don't reflect the changes in the credit conditions do they ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The_Oldie Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 They are running this story on News 24, with a leader of "House prices fall in parts of the country". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
