Should people wanting to sell hang in there?

as the mortgage famine forces a generation of FTB-s to enrich their landlords instead of themselves.

I thought mortgages where fine, just the house prices where too high.

I would also like to point out that its the landlords that force FTB's to enrich landlords, they are the ones buying everything and they are the ones rising rents to feed there own greed...

I do agree that we need to get building... fast.

I've got a weird but true story about HPC.

I'm back in UK for a holiday. I visited my friends at the company I used to work at. A guy who still works there introduced me to the HPC site. He's an uber bear.

I asked him if he was still a member?

He told me he is but was put on moderator watch 2 weeks ago and cant post. Also another one of his friends the same.

He reckons the only thing it could possibly be was he sounded a bit negative last time he posted. Along the lines of 'Is it really going to happen'.

Sounds like they are tightening up. You need to be a real nutter to be able to post. No other views welcome. Not even slightly negative.

I cant see the point of belonging to a site where everyone must agree. They obviously know they would lose an argument with bulls.

thanks but all that is saying is that the BTL purchases/business slowed down down in 2008 and supply was restricted that pushed up rents.

what it doesn't say is that FTBs were pushed out of the market in favour of BTL investors, i'm waiting for anyone to prove that.

You are denying the evidence in front of your eyes. Property is crashing as we speak. The party is over. Sell up and rent, invest your money in shares and rake it in. Stop wasting your time trying to talk up the market.

Do you really need that proven?

And before we go any further.....what would be acceptable "proof"? As I don't personally believe anything will be acceptable, in the quest to argue against it.
