January 07 was not even the start of the crash. They rose for several months after Jan 07.
When they are at Jan 06
prices, you gonna do the same?
If you had read the thread you would have seen that house prices were being compared to 2004. ISTL and myself highlighted that not all areas are at that level.

I've read now and it makes sense. Someone talked about the UK average price, so to get them off the scent you looked at a specific area again ignoring what they were talking about0 -

So are we expected to believe that you own BTL's in Westminster and Kensington and Chelsea, chucky?
Pull the other one.
We all know that ISTL's in Scotland, where prices lag the rest of the UK, but I don't believe for one second your claims that your properties are in this airy-fairy land where prices never, ever fall.
I doubt you could afford Merthyr Tydfil.
Personally, properties in my area are back in 2004, so as I have absolutely no urge to move to Merthyr, Westminster or Kensington & Chelsea, I don't really give a damn.
I daresay there are some FTB's just crying their little eyes out right now because they can't afford to buy in the 2 most expensive boroughs in the UK...or are there?
Actually, as you well know, property there is bought largely by foreigners, who are finding property 30% more affordable, thanks to the devaluation of the pound. Hence higher prices.
If you're going to tell me that most UK property is bought by foreigners, and hence this applies across the board, I'm just going to tell you (a) you're wrong and (b) you need to get out more.0 -

there at feb 2007 prices
forget about me and where i live - here's another area close to me with i's bad and good parts.
accept the facts because it seems you're the person that needs to visit that real world not the MSE world is yourself...
here's a post from the one of the other denial nutters from this board from last September...

Er..that's back to 2006, actually, not 2007. And your point is...?
Right chucky - so now you want us to believe you own property in Hammersmith & Fulham AS WELL AS westminster, AS WELL AS Kensington & Chelsea.... Really?
Come off it, chucky - you claimed initially you were talking about prices in 'your area'.
So where exactly is YOUR AREA, chucky?
Don't just show me a pretty, entirely unrelated graph of some random area.
Tell us all exactly where this Utopia is of which you speak.
Go on.0 -

please try harder but you believe what you like just like you don't believe that there is property at 2007 prices.
the real point is that you've asked where the Utopia is of property still at 2007 prices i've given to you ISTL has too and you still don't accept facts
if you don't believe it up to you -
and another one
as you can see these areas do not exist
have another look Hammersmith and Fulham it is 2007

believe what you like the facts are there for you to see
http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/newreply.html?do=newreply&p=14583923 from September 2008there were discounts and it suits me to purchase property for my partuclar circumstances. i also purchased that had corporate tenants that renewed on me buying the property - which means i have rent for a guaranteed term from their company.
i have no need to brick it (as you so politely put it) - i am in a position that i can go and purchase these properties with large amounts of cash and still have cash left over to have a healthy lifestyle something that you would not understand and looks like you are probably very jealous of by the way you try and provoke my posts.
falling property prices are for the moment irrelevant to me as my price per sq foot is probably at 2004/2005 prices so they have a hell of a long way to go to get there especially for Central london prices - Notting Hill and Kensington if you're really interested.
so !!!!!! we know that you single, we also know that you find social interaction dificult but give up on me please - it's got to be very boring searching and looking at my every post to snipe at.
get a life and get rid of your obsession with me please!!!
why are you so obsessed where i live!?
i'm lucky to be living there and as long as i know where i live that's all that matters doesn't it - except to you0 -
I told you not just to give me pretty graphs of random areas.
They prove no more or less than me posting pretty graphs of random areas where prices have fallen huge amounts.
Averages are what matters - specific areas only matter if you actually own there or are planning to buy there.
You own in Notting Hill & Kensington?
Pull the other one with knobs on.0
