Approaching 2 decades of getting the housing market wrong
Just bare with me some of you please that are defenders of housepricecrash.com. They are now fast approaching two decades of predicting the property markets movements, in other words they all advocated a property crash. The same names day after day, month after month and year after year, and get it wrong over and over…

why must everything go up?
sorry if in wrong place... why is it every year everything goes up? your council tax, your rent (if your renting), your broadband when you do a new deal , anything and everything!? i know each year you get a pay rise and this sort of levels it off in some ways but has it always been this way?

HPC.com has now become a Brexit protest group.. Brilliant
Who thought it would turn out like this :rotfl: The now near totally debunked housepricecrash.com has become a radical and aggressive protest website for remaining in the EU. Nobody hardly posts on there anymore to discuss a property crash that will never happen, I take my hat off to the posters that have given up and…

Question HPC
Is Bruce Banner the most bitterest bedsit man in the UK in the last decade, probably far longer :) ?? Does anyone know anybody that called the property crash so badly with maybe the exception of Bailystock who conceded defeat several years ago now. Surely it must be easier and better for you mental health just to buy a…

99.9% of debt in the world will be defaulted on. Only 0.1% is paid back.
Global debt increased at the fastest rate ever in history at the beginning of 2018. In just one quarter, total global debt jumped by more than $8 trillion. That is quite surprising as total world debt rose by $22 trillion for the full year in 2017. Thus, the increase in global debt last year averaged $5.5 trillion each…

What chance does a twenty something year old have in the South? Anyone else in a similar boat?
To cut a long story short. I've recently done some quick maths, and well, I'm extremely depressed by it. I'm no millennial moaner, but I simply need to express the issue to someone and see what anyone else is planning on doing? Because all I'm doing at the moment is existing, and delaying my life if anything.. feels a bit…

Reasons to leave the eu
Just to remind the remainers who think the EU is a utopian paradise: Cadbury moved factory to Poland 2011 with EUgrant. Ford Transit moved to Turkey 2013 with EU grant. Jaguar Land Rover has recently agreed to build a new plant in Slovakia with EU grant, owned by Tata, the same company who have trashed our steel works and…

Where to invest money in a crisis
Jacob Rees-Mogg's dad literally wrote the book Has anyone read it? I guess his son must have done as he has put his money in the EU Before he and his Brextremist chums push us into a 'no deal' Brexit and tank the economy?

Brexit the economy and house prices part 6
We appear to have reached the max page count 299 in part 5, so Here we are with part six. House prices in London year on year are down. Is this a result for the Brexiters? Is it good enough or would a full blown recession after Brexit force house prices further down?

House prices
There is a possibility that interest rates could rise next month. I'm not as confident as some people but let's assume that they do. This would be a huge downward pressure on house prices. Add in the effects of Brexit. More controlled immigration should relieve pressure on the housing market. More downward pressure. We…

The R word
An oft used economic indicator is the number of times the R word (recession) is used in the press, with usage peaking prior to and during a recession it is potentially a good leading indicator. Recently I haven't seen it used a lot, there is always talk of a slow-down, most related to Brexit but have we been so caught up…

Shared ownership or renting?
Hi, My partner and I are both 24 year old parents of two little boys aged 3 and 1. We have been living in rented properties for the past 6 years but due to rising rent and being able to get little for your money we thought we’d try and save for a deposit to buy a house of our own. We are now living with his 72 year old…

Why Northern Ireland is treated differently?
Why people in Northern Ireland are eligible for Irish passports but not people from other parts of UK i.e. Great Britain? It appears people in NI are getting best of both worlds in spite of being part of UK. Whatever happened in the past, it is better to move forward and not remaining stuck in the past. If NI wants to join…

Cash buyer near completion... brexit housing crash fears..?
It is very bittersweet for me that my mother's death a few years ago when I was 21 years old left me with enough money to be able to buy a three-bed semi in the local area (north Lincolnshire) at around £170,000. We are at the stage of signing all the papers for the purchase of this house and the fear of Brexit and a…

Carney - the man who keeps crying wolf
If you state something x n it will eventually become true seems to be his motto. Beit interest rate rises or implosion of the British economy Remind me - is the BoE still, in any part, independent from the Treasury?
