Sorry Hamish, Nollag, chucky, new home owner but I am a dude.
As for my original prediction didn't think they would cut interest rates to 0.5% to bail out the reckless. However I have said this a thousand times now and it is getting a bit borring. If you only way to fight your argument is to bring up a 2007 signature then you are truely on weak grounds.:exclamatiScams - Shared Equity, Shared Ownership, Newbuy, Firstbuy and Help to Buy.

so remind me again... you're saying that "Prices are going to start to fall from here on in" but your signature says they're going to stagnate. make your mind up because you discredit yourself with nearly every postPROPERTY BOTTOM - History tells us that property stagnates for years at the bottom, there will be no rapid rises at the bottom, don't rush.:think:0 -

I didn't say prices fell 6 months in a row.
I said Acadametrics showed prices falling 6 months in a row at the time.
Do you understand the difference?

House prices in England and Wales fell for the sixth month in a row in August, according to the FT house price index, the most reliable guide to the prices achieved by sellers in the property market, published on Friday.
Acadametrics, the consultancy that compiles the FT price index, said house price inflation “is likely to fall further still” because rises in prices last Autumn will gradually fall out of the calculation in the remainder of this year.“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.
Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.”

hold on let me get this right - you reckon "History tells us that property stagnates for years at the bottom, there will be no rapid rises at the bottom"Learn how to read and maybe you won't look so foolish.
You can not put together a reasonable argument so you go for name calling. You have no argument, you probably know whats coming.
i'm teliing you for a fact it doesn't but facts aren't important here are they...
but let's try anyway...
mid 1970s falls were never negative YoY because of high inflation - so no stagnation for years
1980s price falls were back to peak in about 16 months - so no stagnation for years
1990s - price fell for about 16 months, then stagnated for about 3 years before reaching peak 5 years later.
2008 price falls were reversed in Feb 2009 and rose between 10%-15% to now - so no stagnation for years
so remind me which "History tells us that property stagnates for years at the bottom, there will be no rapid rises at the bottom". Is this the history books according to Brit or reality because you certainly don't live in the real world if you think that was the case...0 -
