Hamish doged my arguements because he realised that I am an intelect he cant argue with without looking silly.
2-0 to Mr Blank!
Bulls on the run!I am not a financial expert, and the post above is merely my opinion.:j0 -
OK Hamish, it's time to tell us what you found down the back of your sofa. Was it "unlimited funds", or £1.73 in loose change, an old copy of "Your Home" with some of the pages stuck together, and something that might have been that bit of Haggis that went missing a while back ?30 Year Challenge : To be 30 years older.

I hope RennovationMan never reads that. :eek:
I haven't really read many of geneer's posts. I know there is this geneer vs Hamish thing going on, but I suspect my encounters with Hamish are somewhat different to his. I don't know about geneer, but I do have some respect for Hamish, even though I don't always like is online attitude. I hope Hamish doesn't read that either.
Its not a Geneer vs Hamish its a Geneer vs all bulls! Anyway, you are right about Hamish - he has a very good grasp of the market, provides excellent data and he is a big loss to the other sites that banned him because he undermined their "the end is nigh" arguments.0 -
Is the rise in BTL replacing FTBs just another symptom of wealth transfer to a smaller financial elite ?
Real incomes for many are set to fall over the next few years. This will create opportunities for people with money and influence to become wealthier.0 -

I think it might be, and if so, I think it is a bad thing. Mind you, it might not be as bad as first thought. If more property gets owned by fewer individuals, then maybe it'll shift the focus from "must buy a house (or two)" to a more relaxed approach about the roof over our heads. That might be a good thing. I hear that in some other countires, where their economies are doing OK and their population is far from poor, they have much bigger rental sectors than the UK. There is hope for us yet !30 Year Challenge : To be 30 years older. Equity : Don't know, don't care much. Savings : That's asking for ridicule.0 -

He does that to me a lot of the time, keeps telling me i am dumb but when i question one of his statements that i think are incorrect he never responds, he says this is because he hasnt got time to answer every silly post he reads, funny how he keeps dodging the ones that prove him wrong.0 -

For example, after finding only £1.73 down the back of his sofa (rather than unlimited funds), he never reported his findings. Maybe he's popped out to spend it on a can of Irn-Bru.30 Year Challenge : To be 30 years older. Equity : Don't know, don't care much. Savings : That's asking for ridicule.0 -
We dont need FTB's anymore.
Another load of tosh from HPC. They thought the lack of FTB's would cripple the housing market. It's actually made it better for landlords. Funding and tax breaks improving and low interest rates here to stay for at least 5 years.We love Sarah O Grady0 -

Didn't even find that much..... It seems Mrs McTavish must have got there first.

Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.”
