It's not facts picked out of the air, it's just plain facts.
Seems your goal was an own one

I certainly mean small . Valued around 1994 at a little bit over £40k . So back to fundalmentals . A 3.5 times salary would have amounted to a joint incme of of less than £12k . At the peak , I am told one sold for £200k . Not sure about that but I do know that a mate of mine paid £170k , split up with his partner so had a big deposit. So working on the old controlled system , 3.5 of lending , assuming no deposit would reflect a joint income of a touch under £50k .
So don`t go on about all this rubbish of supply and demand . Totally agree that the population has risen a bit but not to the extent of pushing prices up to this amount . I know for a fact there was a load of lie to buy , 125% of the house value as a loan . Our friends at Northern Basket Case .
IMH opinion , inflation is far higher than quoted , my wife and I have had our pensions raided by Brown . Annuities have crashed . What would have been a decent pension is smashed . 0.5% rates, a massive cry for help . The UK has driven itself into a hole . Hey , friends in Spain and Ireland are telling me what is really going on , not very pretty . To me , the IR is nothing less than keeping the pack of cards from a major collapse .
Even at the dumb prices I could buy a couple of flats , mortgage free . Great , once again depriving folk that wish their own place . Not a big axe to grind as I don`t have a mortgage .
Why would anyone, in this climate , think prices will keep rising ? Deluded at best . The great dream , well the final days of Thatch has taken to it`s final conclustion , by Nu Labour is now finished . Now we have the toffs in charge with Cleggy boy.
Methinks that some of these pumped up bulls are in fact trying to reassure themselves .
Its an easy one. Migration figures didn't plummet in 2008.
Yet house prices did.
Oh, and add to the mix the fact that the root causes of the economic collapse and crash are well researched, understood and documented.
The bulls are of course talking utter rubbish.
They're the HPC equivalent of the "intelligent design" brigade.
Dress up their fblind faith with half arsed discredited arguments.0 -
Oh get real Blankie. You start a thread entitled "property bulls disgust me, selfish people" with a rather nasty attack on a whole group of people, and then throw a pompous hissy one when people come back at you and the terribly sensitive Geneer in similar terms. It's laughable really.
It is laughable.
Never fails to get you lot frothing at the mouth though does it?
I'm absolutely amazed at the number of supposedly intelligent people falling for wind-ups like this time after time and at great length.
It is clear B Blank is a WUM is it not? Hold a mirror to him and you see sibley.
