    I suspect that the critical mass of loads of people getting personal all at the same time has been reached.

    There's always some of this sort of behaviour, but now it's pack orientated it would seem.
    Chucky was behaving himself lately, it must have been hard restraining himself. But it couldn't last, so he's gone back to being a simple troll

    NDG - i've never seen you jump into a discussion and stick up for someone when someone has been insulted and vilified for purchasing a property or is in negative equity and tries to make a positive post and is insulted or even believes that property prices are going to rise.

    why would that be?

    I don't think that's entirely right.

    Firstly, here is an example of me offering helpful advice to a recent BTL LL:

    Perhaps you are right and I should do so more often. In some cases, I have thought of doing so, but others have already jumped in.

    So if you've got through the 39week barrier and you're sitting on the dole with an IO mortgage you are set.

    A bit of a pain when the time comes to pay off the capital debt though.

    But you said it was the capital amount that would do them in ( a little unforced glee in the comment below, about people in a sad predicament)

    Interest will be paid by the welfare system - it's the stupidly high capital amount that they'll have borrowed to buy the house that'll most likely do them in if they are stuck on a repayment mortgage.

    Thank you, HPI........

    As the starter of this thread and one who usually disagrees with !!!!!! but enjoys reading his posts, can I suggest we all call it a day on this thread as there seems little constructive to be added.
