Average price of FTB properties down 23% since peak says lloyds.

Wasn't there a excert from ESPC showing that 3 bed properties had risen (not troughed) in the timeframe.

IIRC correctly, geneer proclaims to have bought something like 20% below that average, but of course an average is just that and there will be properties more expensive / cheaper than the average.

That does not detract from the trend has been increasing in his VI area.

Exactly Einstein. My "VI" area.
Which, the whole of Edinburgh, really isn't.

And I didn't claim to have bought "below the average".
I confirmed that I bought 20% below what similar properties were selling for around peak.

This of course is based on Registers of Scotland information for specific properties.

So you will understand why the "average" for the "average" 3 bedder across the whole of edinburgh means very little to me,
and indeed hasn't meant all that much for the last 4 to 5 years of my pals best efforts.

Funniest thing is, its not as if I didn't keep telling them this.

Its just that you seem quite interested dear.
One might even say obsessed.

Geneer you have made a bit of a dogs dinner with your retrospective "2009 property purchase" announcement.

To avoid any further confusing announcements (like your 2009 'purchase') in the coming months or years, could you confirm:

1) That you have made no other purchase or sales since 2009?

2)Also for absolute clarity could you confirm you have not made any purchases or sales pre your December 2009 one (in case you announce next week that you bought 10 BTL in 2001 that you had previously omitted to mention)


Kind Regards

Jackanory is a time proven classic to which I can;t recall the theme tune.
what does run through my head is this little ditti

It's quite apt with the "many voices", "many names" and "many faces"
to be honest it's the chorus that i remember.

Maybe he could put as his signature

"I'm a storyteller and my story must be told."

The Storyteller lyrics
I'm the Storyteller,
And my stories must be told.
I have many stories,
Tales for both the young and old.

I have many voices,
To describe many places.
Many names have I,
And many faces.

In Russia I am Ivan.
In Sweden I am Jan.
In Germany I'm Johan.
In England (America) I am John.
On websites I'm geneer

From my many travels
I have gathered many tales.
To teach you good sense
When all else fails.

Sometimes there are tears.
Sometimes there is laughter.
But always a Happily Ever After.

Eh? I rather assumed that was one of you frothers TBH.
Wasn't one of your shining moment.

You also seem to conveniently forget the other property investments I made in 2000, 2004 and an new addition in Dec 2011

And?

You still bought in 2007.

Of course, once the rules of the timing game turn against you,
the bulls decide that the rules should become much more complex.
As Rinoa will no doubt refuse to testify despite his spectacular meltdown under similar circumstances.

Taking the news well then Lite. :rotfl:
Funny, a few of your pals also prefer to go for the "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO PLEASE NO IT COULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED" position.

But The moment was prepared for.



Which is in no way enormously satisfying.:D

I am genuinely pleased for you if it's true, which if it is, means you've been telling stories for the last 2 years.
If it's not, your telling stories now.

Either way, your a self professed conman and story teller

P.S. Your avatar has no relevance to this website, best you tootle off and "gloat" there

Nice graph.
ooooooo it's quite a battle and for the first time ISTL seems to have the upper hand. How's it feel ISTL?

Tut geneer, one would expect with your prescience, your intellect and your ability to read the market you'd have bought in April 09.
Unless you've been telling porkies about your prescience, your intellect and your ability to read the market?
Still I'm sure there is a perfectly good reason you waited for prices to go up £20k first? Isn't there?

I think there's a Mrs. Geneer and she told him enough's enough. There's nothing like having a wife to stop yourself peering too far up your own a**e.

If I log on here in the evening my wife looks at me with a sympathetic look that says "arguing with strangers about house prices again dear? That's nice". Sometimes I'm so embarrassed I pretend that I've been looking at pornography instead.
