Inside Track reborn?"Mrs. Pench, you've won the car contest, would you like a triumph spitfire or 3000 in cash?" He smiled.
Mrs. Pench took the money. "What will you do with it all? Not that it's any of my business," he giggled.

I think these guys were advertising for the last few years. I doubt there's anyone left who thinks now is a good time to jump into BTL, but who knows?0 -
Anyone who drives for a living and listens to any commercial radio will know these characters have been pounding the airwaves with a very annoying jingle for quite a while. they advertise in London a lot ( on LBC) and Ive heard them also on local radio in the Norwich & Northampton areas.
Im fairly sure that this company was one of the advertisers going on about buy London hotel rooms for a "guaranteed return of over 7%" a while back ( those adverts have dried up as well anyone noticed :rolleyes: ) Even then Id repeatedly shout at the radio saying "you can get more than that at the bank you muppet"
I must ask does anyone know what the legals are in terms of trade descriptions for something like this, it seems crazy that they can get away with being SO misleading. "youll learn the best property investing techniques". Tell that to the losers from INside track!!!
Inside track used very similar language. I accept that there is a level of personal responsibility that must be taken by the losers from the inside track debacle, but it seems to be that those losers who have been in the daily mail with thier scores of unsellable new build, are those who now the least about the property market in terms of economic patterns and cycles.
I think that this is actually a story that the government should be ashamed of. HOw can SO many members of Joe public, buy SO much property effectively in deed only, owe SO much money? That the lenders can lend and lend as property only goes up? How can the government turn out a population SO uneducated in ecomonics/markets that they could believe this bubble would never pop.
Gordon brown was a shocking chancellor, as he presided over this whole disaster with low bloody interest rates and ALLOWING the banks to rampantly lend to a rampantly borrowing populace? Was the extra SDLT really worth it?:beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
This Ive come to know...
So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:0 -

Every pound less borrowed (to buy a house) is more than two pounds less to repay and more than three pounds less to earn, over the course of a typical mortgage.0 -

On closer consideration, this made no sense.0
