I am neither a low wage earner, unemployed nor the lazy but I have some sympathies with those unable to buy because of the ridiculous cost of housing, trapped in the insecurity of rented accommodation to line the pockets of those who, like many on this forum, seem to rub their hands in glee at the money they make.

I've never heard such pathetic schoolboy drivel from those on here who seem to get a kick out of denigrating members of another forum. I can only guess you are not children because of the supposed wealth and property you claim to own, but if it wasn't for that I'd assume you were children.

I'll leave you to your puerile utterings, back slapping each other about how much you've made and how much better you are than those less financially astute (or prepared to put so much effort into greed for their own benefit) and say thank goodness not all mankind is like this.

Actually, I do know where you are coming from.
If I did not know the history of HPC website and saw all this I might think the same.

Don't think any of the homeowners/landlords on here are really bad people.

Most of us had our cages rattled by a bunch of people hoping house prices would crash. They were spouting out all these statistics and reasons it would happen.

Landlords and Buy to Let investors were targeted as greedy. To be honest, that was fair enough. The problem was they took things a step further and started slagging off normal homeowners/ families and hard working people.

Most people were members of HPC are the two sides had heated debates on who had it right or wrong.

The crashers did actually call it right. There should have been a crash.
However, what they did not factor in was the government.
No way would they allow prices to crash. They moved the goalposts.

Instead of putting their hands up and taking some stick, the HPC admin decided to ban all the homeowners.
Most joined this forum. There you have it.

Really it's not surprising it's a well spoken about topic.

This thread seems like the final say in the matter.
An old crasher post revived and to the victors the spoils.

Maybe now we can all draw a line under it.

Am I the only one who reads the title of this thread in the style of Murray Walker? Yes? I'll get my coat then.

You might be the exception but even those that are sympathetic tend not to make a stand by selling their houses for less than market value.

You might be nicer than those rubbing their hands with glee but in practice you're the same.

JencParker seems disinclined to state whether she would be prepared to sell her house for less than market value in order to help a poorer FTB get on the ladder.

Principles seem to go out of the window when there is money involved.

I'm not aware of having been asked that question.

More to the point, it is irrelevant in this thread. My comments were on the puerile attitudes towards those who are on another board. I have no knowledge of the history of the other board as Sibley has pointed out, but if what he says is true, then all parties are as childish as each other. However, what is of concern is that those in a position of power (wealth) seem to have lowered themselves to the levels of those more vulnerable.

If you want a more highbrow financial discussion then I'd suggest you go to the Pure Money boards such as the pensions, savings & investments and various renting, house buying, mortgage, endowment boards.

Something tells me that you won't though.

So any discussion other than 'highbrow' entails denigrating others less fortunate?

Mmmm.... should have gone with my first thought - leave you all to your puerile discussions. Although, as Sibley seems to have said something sensible at last, I will echo him

OK, bye. :wave::hello:

Good luck in the other boards, but as I said, something tells me that you won't be gone long.

A lot of threads go this way.

Is HPI good or bad etc? In practical terms it doesn't matter a jot because whatever people might think they will all behave the same in all but a few isolated cases.

When they sell everyone wants the maximum price. The only difference is that they might engage in some hand wringing and try and clamber to the moral high ground.

If you want young people to buy cheap houses sell them yours cheap. Not sure the idea will catch on.

I can't see why you would expect anyone to sell there own residence cheaper than market value (after all they have to live somewhere) and assuming they have children then there children will need all the assistance they can get from an asset there parents owned being sold at some time.

Wanting lower prices for the good of the younger generation is entirely different to selling your own house at below market value! I am a homeowner and would not be upset to see house prices fall if it meant the next generation of buyers don't have to become slaves to mortgages when interest rates go up.
