Actually got a bit worried, thought I've messed this thread up. Checked back and it's a Hamish one - so no matter.

Well the Board Guides will be pleased - they'd have nothing to do if you weren't here

Sorry mate, I am going to stop ribbing you now

I get the feeling that with Martin hiding the board, yet not closing it, he has played a masterstroke, imagine all the carnage on the other forums if all the guys on here moved around the website. By keeping it open he has contained us all in one place.

Not just the forums. Imagine the carnage if I were to leave my PC and like actually open the front door and walk out of it.

That must be the nod for fc123 and LIR to appear,?

No, just to say I do think Misskool is cool, and actually gets a rough ride from us. I actually like her.

Edit. I think this thread has gone way off topic, anyone know what it was about ?

Boo...I was looking for a bit of excitement there but fair enough

It was one of Hamish's bear baiting ones so you didn't miss much :rolleyes:

I have no idea why they feel the urge to mislead people into missing their once in a lifetime chance to buy below long term trend, but they do. I can only put it down to "misery loves company", and I do hope that as few people as possible miss out due to the rantings of some doom-mongers on here or hpc.

But whatever...... I've done my bit, and you have been warned.

The rest is up to you.

I believe people should buy when they are 100% sure they are ready to do so... i.e. found a reasonably property at a price they can afford, saved a decent deposit, have a stable job to pay the monthly mortgage repayments, (barring any life changing circumstances) ready to commit and see this as a life long investment.

She does like pressing the 'move' button a lot though;), seriously though she has been very kind to me.

I agree, but while I dn't always agree with her moves, I can agree to differ. MAny of them are , well, correct!

I'm glad she's been kind to you. I knew I liked her for a reason.

Bump, for relevancy.

Hamish you are talking rubbish.

This time next year house prices will be within 5% of where they are this year.
In 2 years time house prices will be within 5% also.
And I suspect 3 years time as well.

There will be no boom - GDP growth will be slow and unemployment will remain stubbornly high.

There will be no crash - prices have already dropped a lot and IRs will remain very low.
