Homes Under the Hammer How I Missed Thee...

PasturesNew

Been working the last 5-6 weeks, so just delighted to find Homes Under the Hammer is still on .. it's just started (BBC1)

Oh, seen it.
Moo Moo's restaurant in Broadstairs Kent.
When this was on last time it's now a going business

Damn, was hoping for a new one or a re-run I hadn't seen

I enjoy HUTH too. I had a spell of not watching it because it seemed to be full of greedy people. I like it better when it is about a couple or family buying a home to live in. It's a pain sitting through the EA's bit though, so boring, I just like to see the transformation at the end. Can't believe the prices in London, though I guess they are out of date. Nearly £500k for a wreck of a house in Hammersmith the other day.

I'm off sick and spent yesterday watching HUTH catchups in bed on the Iplayer. Joy.

P's took his laptop to work today though

Spent much of yesterday indoors as unwell, but meant we managed to watch HUTH for the first time in ages. One of the properties was literally 2 mins walk round the corner from where we live! Can't believe the price it went for (even though that was at just about the peak).

It would be interesting to see a new series of these with all of the repo's etc... Be interesting to see how little houses are actually going for at auction.

Some more recent programmes have slipped in revisits in 2009. Amazes me how many people say when told the market valuation. "I'll rent it out till the market picks up".

We are at that stage in the cycle. Leave it a year or two more....

What gets me is how one of the so called experts (EAs) can value the same 20K more than the other.

This programme demonstrates near criminal irresponsibility from the BBC.:mad: Where are the wealth warnings in this? Would the BBC screen a programme where people are encouraged to gamble what they have on the derivatives market with no comprehension or discussion of the risks involved? Cheery presenters blithely describe 6% rental yields as "lucrative".


I don't need to remind people of the consequences of this Alice in Wonderland economics- insolvency of banks, individuals and now nations, a meltdown of the whole western economy, all treated with the gravitas of a home makeover programme.

Never mind Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross, people should be complaining about this.:mad:
