The two shysters encouraged people to think that house prices always go up. And thereby played no small part in the coming deluge of negative equity

Ah,so the national decrease in property values is down to two specific people? (who pitched a programme idea on how to find property for buyers that could'nt be bothered to do their own reasearch).Anyone who bought on the strength of a telly programme be it LLL or Andy Pandy needs their head examined.

Who said that? I said they played a significant role in ramping the housing market, I didn't say they did it all on their own. They did it for their own ends of course, they lined their pockets well throughout the process. Now thousands of ordinary people are paying the price.

Wasn't there a bit of a fuss a year or two back when Phil & Kirsty advised some couple on the show to put in a whopping sealed bid (well over guide price) on a home they were interested in on the basis that is was a 'dream home that they couldn't afford to lose' or some such rubbish?

Then, thanks to a mixup by the solicitors they found out that they had bid something like 70k more than the next applicant which was more or less at guide price. They ended up pulling out of the bid......

Yes, I covered it in this post

I think their signifigance is minute in the big picture.They did it to make a program topical to the current situation(HPI).If they have been granted a new season then we shall see how they adapt.Why do you begrudge these people a successful business venture?

How many millions watch their property !!!!!! program? Of course the had great influence. Everyone knows who krusty and phil are, especially those now wallowing in negative equity

Only a year or so ago the gruesome twosome had a program on C4 .. They were saying that house prices would continue rising at between 10-20% p.a. for the next 5 years at least! Boy, I hope that program gets a repeat. :rotfl:

You are absolutely correct.
But.
In the small picture.
They deserve a kicking.
