anyway off you go Prof jog on now and be a good little lad...

TROLLS!!

Will just come out with any bulls**t in order to get attention, how much money are you will to put on it then and how will you secure that bet.

How about £5000, do it all through MSE(can the staff help with this) and i will donate half of the money to any charity that MSE see's fit(would prefer crisis or MS though), my two shifts are from 3pm to midnight on the days i said at Ivax quays, royal docklands, London, E16

I will be more than happy to meet anyone on the day, so come on MSE and Martin Lewis(i know he is a top guy for raising money for charity).

So come on Mr Cocky, lets see if you have the balls:)

lol - sales people.... how desperate are you to buy a house??

Not that desperate. If you read my posts properly, you'll find that out for yourself. I don't think I've been on record stating I want to, or am looking to, buy another house anytime soon?

Sure, I'd like a bigger house. But then I don't think I'm particularly unique here.

As I say, you need a change of ammo, or to give up.

allegedly BTL only contributed to 7% price rises over 13 years .......

That is an interesting figure which I have not come across before and it does suggest that BTL has little impact on the housing market. Any chance of a link to its source?

Thanks.

Salespeople?

Half of them are VI's, touching cloth, in the same position as EB69.

I didn't realise our own version of these people on this forum....Ghouls, Hamish, Sibley etc were Salesman.

Is chucky a salesperson? Check out his thread yesterday, trying to swing something from nothing, and prove that 7% falls actually mean you are worse off, so buy now, buy buy buy. He's just a salesman. Indeed.

Salespeople are people that sell things.

Ghouls, Hamish, Sibley, Chucky, - I don't know what issues you have with these people but I don't know them and don't know or care if they are salespeople or not.

One of us is getting confused telling the difference between the real world and these boards. I think it's me TBH.

claiming posters are like sales people or are sales people is very desperate... and very sad...

you don't understand very much and the best bit you don't understand is that other people have a different point of view than you. even better than most of these people have more often than not been much more correct than you.

give up?? i reckon you'll be in the same desperate situation in 5 years time.

chin up though...

we didn't want to stay in Uni accomodation, we wanted our own house. And luckily there was a market out there for us to rent one from.

You pays yer money you takes yer choice.

So if your university was providing good, cheap accomodation then there wouldn't be a requirement for BTL. Which sounds good to me.

Only for first years and some 'special' cases...

Three problems:

a) Universities don't seem to want to build lots of houses for their students as they are happy for landlords to provide them
b) Universities haven't got any money at the moment so building or buying accomodation is the last thing on their mind at present
c) Universities are funded by taxpayers. Why should taxpayers fund accomodation for you?

Yes, yes, I know. Still interesting how the beginning of the property price boom coincided with an upsurge of university attendance. BTL-tastic innit.

That's an interesting way of looking at it I guess.

You're generous. Thanks.

You say 'failed system'

Being facetious.

but I imagine most universities and most students are pretty happy with the arrangement we've currently got.

just like the riots demonstrated...(!!!)

There wasn't many of us at Uni who wanted to stay in halls after the first year for a number of reasons really, so private rentals suited most people.

How terribly convenient you fit in with the system you think is so glorious.

What would be the difference to society of a university buying a house instead of a landlord? Students would pay the same rent or possibly even more - my uni rent was more in halls than it was in a private house.

No difference I guess. My own university flat was cheaper than the rooms I rented which were cheap for the area for the time, but that's just my own personal experience.

I also would still ask the question whether the public would want their money to buy houses? And I say that fully aware of the irony of that statement in light of us propping up all the banks. But is it really wise for universities to be buying loads of houses? Is there a requirement for that?

No but is there really a requirement for BTL landlords to hoover up the properties which previously would have been typical FTB places??

Oh yeah, for their pensions and their own private wealth.

Funnily enough the main BTL landlords/barons I know were previously drugdealers (should say drugfarmers, iyswim).

This was their way of going "legit" but there is plenty in common, such as:

• Drugdealing and BTL seen as easiest way to make the most money with least effort
• Drugdrealing and BTL exploitative of the most vulnerable in society
• Drugdealing and BTL don't require any skills, intelligence or expertise

Sure there are others but I'll await the barrage of flame first.

:cool:

---and if you can be a drugdealer and a BTL at the same time you'd do really well in the student accomodation market.

You might have a valid point there - not.
