As I have said to others. I can not prove I am not an EA. So you win.0 -
Mate...on this board you have to back up stuff with Facts. Links, a bit of 'evidence'. It's no good just posting something anecdotal (unless you say it is ) and them expecting folks to just go along with it.
So? Why don't you back up your original post?
Oh FC, what ya' talkin' about? ...I find a few tearjerking, intense adecdotals and a few smilies highly successful here, and then there are those posters who are cliche merchants-say the same ones over and over again -knowing they'll convince everyone eventually
, the ones who type in large red, capitalised font.....I really am cnvinced by them....

Hi...this board can sometimes be a bit 'Cleverer than thou', Holier than thou'' and, unfortunately, ''More rascist than thou'' too BUT it's a great place to tap into all sorts of knowledge from all different places.OK, point taken. I was venting my frustrations without much fact. However, the thread has been useful for me as I now understand that my experiences are probably isolated.
What it isn't is a competition (us wimmin see to that when the blokeys get going) so, don't apologise and say ''You win''.....check back and come back with more........or hang out with us girls and talk houses, handbags and hubbies ....we hijack threads sometimes. 0 -
15 out of 71 properties STC in Needham Market. Just over 25% on Markert are STC, I surpose that is quite good if they all complete.
Maybe the EA is correct.0 -

I have been looking at the market there for three months now and the STC have been disappearing.
On another point. This bull trap phenomenon people say we are in. Surely if approx 25% of value has been wiped of the market already, the trap point is far to low; it appears that this point normally occurs in the top quarter of the loss?0 -
You don't think anyone will have learnt anything about excessive borrowing from the last two years, and the coming two years?
No, I don't suppose they will. But if, at a guess of course, interest rates hit 8/9% in two years, and taxation increases then maybe even those who have learnt nothing will have little option available.
no i don't think everyone will appreciate what has happened - many will not realise it.
i for one did not really notice the previous recession, looking back i probably did but it just bypassed me.
8% or 9% interest rates to me are really the top they could go to. it's would be political suicide for any future givernment to increase them any higher than this.
they'll just find other stealth taxes to tax people with - a minimum price per unit of alcohol for example 0 -

Ahh we didn't get a clipper home...we got a proper one bedroom house!
Not much better mind :rotfl:
Edit - We were on Orwell GreenWe made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.

Bull trap?
How are we in a bull trap?
Prices aren't rising.
Bears go on and on about a bull trap to ease their fears as soon as they see one bit of data about house prices rising but I've yet to see conclusive proof that a bull trap will even occur. The housing market is so illiquid I personally don't think we'll see one...... and no I'm not going to count a one month rise of house prices on one index as a bulltrap.
Bull$hlt maybe, but not a bulltrap.0
