Kaboom. Another bull meme obliterated.

So, lets get this very straight.

Would you agree that:

You have never, ever claimed, specificially in Edinburgh, that period homes have held their value, which has skewed the averages, and therefore resulted in an understated decline in the cost of the typical FTB/!!!!!!/new built property?

No Fubs. I've never claimed they've held their value.
More expensive properties can skew averages. Doesn't mean they
haven't taken a knock.

Sorry to dissapoint.



Incidentally, I don't really consider FTB or new build to be Sh*tty.
Thats a charactatisation more prevelant in embittered bullish fall back positions. For obvious reasons.

I know you don't subsribe that that theory of course.
I mean, you bought a sh*tty studio flat after all.

A knock - now thats the point isn't it - how relative a knock to new build/!!!!!!.

It's just back when you wanted to prove that Edinburgh FTB houses had fallen more than the averages suggested, you repeatedly stated that the high prices & demand for family homes were the reason for high averages. In fact you repeated it so much, your 'skew' thing became somewhat of a meme in itself.

I'm sure this is in some way entirely different from 'bulls' venturing the exact same opinon.

But fair play to you - you have comprehensively demolised & obliterated your own meme. Just the same one you happen to have shared with some .. uh.. bulls.

FWIW, from what I see in my locality, it does seem to be new build thats taken the biggest hit - but we did get an awful lot of it.

Oh I'm pretty sure its been said within the last year.

Sorry rob, I forgot that all you non-bulls were forced to reboot your online identities after the big ol' crash you utterly failed to see coming.
Didn't realise you would be so sensitive about it.

And lets face it the bulls don't have that many original ideas.
Pretty much everything you say is a well worn exercise in logical contortionism or banalities perfect in the 4 years...thats right 4 YEARS...since the crash hit.

Geneer, I've said this before, but what on earth are you gibbering on about? I may be one of these hateful property owners or 'bulls' as you refer to them, but I bought in 2010 having delayed purchase from 2007/2008, so why are you fantasising these motivations on my behalf?

Silly bull. In edinburgh, the "family home" bracket includes quite a fair old number of £500000+ town houses etc. Hardly your suburban 3 bedder with garage.

Just to be clear, these expensive properties in Edinburgh's prime areas - New Town, Marchmont, Morningside etc. - are predominantly Georgian and Victorian.

What was your 'bull meme' again Geneer?

He does seem to be making quite a song and dance about people agreeing with him.

You tell me Robmatic.
You seem to be drawing a correlation.

I suspect you will fail. :rotfl:

That appears to be the point now.
As opposed to the point a couple of posts ago where you
suggested I had claimed that period property was holding its value. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Actually, I repeatedly stated that skew was the reason for high averages.

Again, the claim that period properties held there value is your fabrication.

No doubt something to do with the fact that a certain section of the forum keeps getting so gosh darned excited over short term transitory spikes.

The opinion you've fabricated you mean.

Or I haven't. Because my meme has nothing to do with the "meme" you've fabricated.

Last time I checked terraced houses had taken a bit of a slamming too. :rotfl:

Thanks for posting the links Fubra. Clear evidence that I did not if fact suggest that large period properties were immune to the crash.

Of course I did already correct your significant error in post 92, however happily you were getting so over excited that you decided to run with it anyway and hope for the best.

Tee hee.

Of course not, I would never suggest that there was any sort of correlation between Georgian and Victorian properties as described in your OP and Georgian and Victorian properties in Edinburgh. To do so would defy all credibility.

Thanks for the clarification by the way.
