    As a "neither" I wouldn't say they are all losers, some obviously have well paid careers (based on what they say-who knows) and have amassed fairly huge deposits but who sadly seem to be waiting forever for the crash to happen. If they have 100k in the bank they think they have done the hard bit and that should be enough for them to buy a house cash without a mortgage, but in many areas that is just a pipe dream.

    I expect there may have been a few in the above group a while back. They cleared off about 1-2 years ago whe3n they realized their crash had been called off by the government.

    The usual suspects posting on there now are just the twisted not haves. Most are divorced, lazy, low achievers who just want people better off than them to lose and sink to their level. Just spite.

    You only need to read the posts.

    I stopped bothering with their stupid views. I want to speak to people in the game. If you were in the local DHSS office looking at people signing on. Would you care what their take on house prices was? :rotfl:

    You lot should save yourself a lot of angst and refrain from reading the HPC site, clearly.

    Ah but that is the point of this whole thread, these bulls just can't tear themselves away from HPC no matter how irrelevant they think it is, I wonder why?

    Absolutely. There's more than enough frothers on here than for me to visit HPC to find more! The frothers on the other side though, like nothing better than visiting our nutters to assure themselves they are somehow superior.
    All good fun though.

    To be fair, the clue's in the site name - housepricecrash. I think it's fair to expect that members are going to advocating a crash at all costs so that they can get a cheap house.
  • It's the way these vultures cheer on and openly celebrate other peoples misfortunes just so they can pick over the corpses of others. In this case they happily applaud the news that a young family have been made jobless and homeless. Hanging's too good for these ghouls.

    I used to feel a bit cheated. Some of us were members for 2 years or more. We argued our case that house prices would not crash. As soon as it was obvious we were going to be proved right the Mods banned us from the site.

    It would have been nice to put them right on the site. I think they still get the message anyway.:rotfl:

    I think their may be a fair few BTL landlords on here who seem to rejoice in rents rising, not much difference really.
  • Yes, I presume that sleazy Sibley and all the other HPC rejects are getting well paid for continually promoting a rival website. It not, then they are clearly even more stupid than they would first appear.

    Highlighting the abhorrence of others is not the same as promoting it. If our ancestors had been as lily-liveried as you in turning a blind eye we'd all be writing in German.

    Move on, I suggest.

    You mean pay the market price for the house?

    Cheap is a relative term. Can get cheap houses now, compared to the average price in the street.

    "Can pay less" (or fewer) for a house, would be more appropriate.

    Or in many peoples terms "take on less debt for a house".
