Debate House Prices


In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non MoneySaving matters are no longer permitted. This includes wider debates about general house prices, the economy and politics. As a result, we have taken the decision to keep this board permanently closed, but it remains viewable for users who may find some useful information in it. Thank you for your understanding.

    Great stuff, love to see them get some of their own medicine. Nice to see that my comment on their Express thread has now overtaken the bearish guy on there. They've been Sibley'd again.

    Thanks Turnbull

    Quite a useful and balanced view of that site, unlike their moderation policy

    LOL it's like therapy for the embittered.

    I thought this obsession only stretched to a few forums. Clearly I was wrong. The obsession seems to be far more involved than I thought. Even got blogs about said obsession, feeding the obsession.

    Meanwhile, theres an article on the Guardian on families being £14 worse off a month and having the lowest amount of disposable income for however long. Everyone else is commenting about energy bills, food etc etc. And then you have turnbull, straight to houses, straight to interest rates. Even the comments are basically saying "oh good lord, shutup".

    Some bright spark has commented
    "The
    Social Business Group is the publisher of Mindful Money; a Social News
    and Knowledge Network for the investment community, created in
    conjunction with HSBC, Henderson and Schroders."The Same Henderson and Schroders whom have billions invested in European property...... ?"

    Gotta say, it does seem to me as if the blog writer is a lot more familar with HPC and its debates than he lets on.
    No point in picking apart the rather obvious bias and inconsistencies in his position. Just another internet nutter.

    Is this the same turnbull that is so confident about house prices that he hasn't bought one and still lives with his sister?
