er.... am I right in thinking that EAs also need to have no formal qualifications, and are pretty just second hand car salesmen/women advising you on the most significant purchase you're likely to make in your life?
She's not alone!
Yes you are right, EA's are just failed used car salesmen/women. No qualifications required or needed. All you do is hire a shop front, buy a digital camera, a printer, a couple of dodgy suits and a tub of hair gel and you're away.0 -
Nothing to do with "Homes under the hammer", another programme saying how asy it is to make thousands. Just as bad as KA.0

Someone once said to me that EA's were nothing but monkeys in suits. That might just sum them up perfectly0

We'd just like her to do the decent thing and crawl away to hide in a large enough hole until property prices reach 2007 levels again - after inflation.
Which won't be anytime soon.

If you seriously think one person or one TV programme has the power to create a bubble like the one we experienced, then you need your head looking at.
Well, there were a whole raft of 'property !!!!!!' programmes and as far as I can tell most of the people presenting them or featuring in them as regulars, had very strong links to the property industry. ie. A strong vested interest in talking up prices.
What will BBC do for daytime programmes now, and channel 4 for evening shows?--
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 -
