You have to laugh. Remember how Geneer and co keep going on about how ex HPC bulls are gutted about being banned . :rotfl:

Now their only choice will be to come on here. We'll be waiting.
They will get their come uppance. We refused to let house prices drop.

They lost and their manky site going down proves it. I'm glad. Now they can get saving and pay for my retirement. :rotfl:

I'm quite jealous of Sibley as it happens. I mean theres not many of us has a swimming pool in their front room.

What is it with some posters and HPC, the venom I have see thrown at them from here and other boards is incredible, after all they are just giving an opinion.
At the very least HPC are conveying a message that many 100.000's of young people are experiencing.
I personally feel like the underlying message of an imminent property crash that HPC promotes has now being proven incorrect and very wrong.
They failed to understand that it really was different this time, immigration, shortage of house building, over generous welfare state and HB and far more spin on deception with property related indicies to start with.

Many of the posters on that site would be better served becoming more pro active and making the unfairness of the UK housing market known.

I still do not rule out a crash, but I think it quite unlikely, but that still does not me respecting the many good thought out debates that are taking place on sites such as HPC.
When critics attack HPC with the verocity that they do you can only summise that they are more frightened then they let on and are trying to shout down the message.

It's as clear as day that it's those with greedy vested interests in keeping property prices at ridiculous levels who spew the venom, and straw man arguments, against HPC. The message of HPC, and PricedOut, is that property prices should return to affordable levels. Why anyone believes this is not a benefit for the country and everyone in it would be a mystery were it not for the obvious greed and self-interest permiating every post from the sibley's of this world.

Some people just want to become part of the 1%.

Bit of a bad time to become part of the 1% as far as i can see.

It's not really that HPC *want* prices to return to "affordable" levels that makes it bad. It's that they *believed* that was inevitable, and conned a load of gullible financial numpties in making horrendous mistakes. Then they banned anyone who took a contrary line, often while many of the ringleaders were giving up and buying themselves. It's a despicable site, and it's more of a cult than anything else.

Prices don't change due to what seems right to a particular group, and by definition house prices are affordable to the group that can afford them. That has never been all of the population, and as supply dwindles, the percentage that can afford them decreases. All you have to do to predict house prices is look at the shortfall between supply and demand, and as that is going only one way, the long term pressure is for increases. You can sit and feel smug at small falls this year, but that's going to be reversing sooner than you think, and you've missed the cheap mortages and your rent's increasing.

As opposed to the 'buy now before prices go up anymore' brigade that conned people into buying at massively inflated prices, overborrowing and overstretching themselves with mortgages they simply couldn't afford; pushing prices ever higher and pricing out generations of people who can't even afford a crappy 1 bed flat or starter home?

HPC 'conned' nobody, the sentiment is sound. Were is not for government and BOE interferring in the market, and the aforementioned greedy VI's pushing propaganda and still trying to con people into buying overpriced property, there would have been a 'crash' of sorts. Despite the name, most posters on HPC want a correction, not a crash.

Try reading [STRIKE]some[/STRIKE] all of Sibley's posts on various sites, then tell me what's despicable.

When you have FTB's that cannot even afford the previously mentioned 1 bed flat or starter homes, that argument is redundant.

Smug? Why would anyone who just wants affordable property prices have any need for smugness? We're not the selfish greedy ones.
