errrr...you?

You seem to be getting mixed up Wotsits. No doubt because you seem to care so very much yourself.

The question was, who cares when "technically" something, is bought.

Because whether lite was right or wrong (and it looks as if he was quite, quite wrong) it doesn't matter in the slightest, as I stated from the start that the Q1 figures were most relevant.

So lets argue about the correct use of an apostrophe yeah, cos thats much less embarassing than the spanking you just received.

It was a simple question with a little smiley given your spelling mistake.
Sorry you didn;t get the humour in the post.



For your five points, I simply refer you once again to your mortgage papers, it will clearly define when you bought.

As for your important question, your right, it doesn;t matter, nobody really cares.
It's just fun seeing you wind yourself in knots not willing to admit your mistake and that you boulght in Feb and not Dec

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:Sorry Lite. I was updating my post, so you've kind of wasted your time. I will repost.
But thanks for this, because it just puts a cherry on the BOOM HEADSHOT moment.

You have been telling a near two year storyline which wasn't true.

Right you are light. Your running with the "I mean't you either bought or you didn't" fall back position. Presumably you consider Inanity less embarassing. :rotfl:

Yet initial comments like this...

hmmm, wre you about to say you bought two weeks ago before you remembered you said years

w and y are nowhere near each other on a keyboard for it to be a simple spelling mistake

An offer and acceptance in legal terms doe snot conclude the bargain.
Only when the transaction has taken place is the exchange completed and the product could be considered as bought.

Given that you cannot accept the reasoning so abbundantly hown to you, how about referring to the dictionary

http://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/british/bought?q=bought


http://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/british/buy_1?q=buy


Quite clearly your belief that making a verbal offer and reciporacal acceptance constitutes having bought the property, however quite clearly the transaction has not been completed because you hadn;t paid for it.

Alternatively as I have pointed out to you before, refer to your mortgage documents and they shall show you when you bought.

OMG! He's still at it.

First I believe I will destroy your pedantic efforts in a humiliating fashion, prior to highlighting the Inanity of your pedantic efforts.

1) Buying a House In Scotland:
Concluding Missives and the Conveyancing.
If your offer is successful, your solicitor and the seller's solicitor will then negotiate the "missives" which are the formal letters passing between them dealing with the finer points of the contract which will finally be concluded... Once "missives have been concluded" (roughly equivalent to the "exchange of contracts" in England) you are contractually bound to buy the property at the agreed date of entry and the seller is bound to sell. The date of entry may be some weeks, or even months ahead, and it is at that point that the full purchase price is payable.

2)now thats resolved, heres the most important question.
What does it matter? Who bleedin' cares?:rotfl:

I said at the start that the Q1 figures were relevant, and thats about that really.


Like I said, you appear to find Inanity less embarassing.
You've regularly demonstrated a reliance on meaningless pedantry even when losing the most inconsequential of arguments
Light by name, light buy nature.
I'd encourage you to reconsider.

IveSeenTheLight

you are contractually bound to buy the property at the agreed date of entry

Therefore you have not bought even when the missive are signed, you are just contractually and legally bound to do so at the agreed date of entry.

In your case Feb, not Dec

Answer: You, me and ISTL at the very least.

Given the arguments we have on here on a daily basis about whether LR lags etc. I'd imagine that others care as well.

The day you complete is the day that the sale is recorded and mortgage funds released. The date you agreed the price obviously matters too and this will tie in somewhat with the mortgage approval figures - this gives some advance warning of what we might see in future LR releases (or the Scottish equivalent).

So technically it matters.

You used to argue that because of lags, prices when you joined HPC were much higher than the records suggest. You used to argue this a lot - the technicalities really seemed to matter to you then - why not now?;)

Are you still smarting from the forum drubbing I gave you a couple of days ago when you ran off in tears shouting "RetardMan" (LOL, pathetic) over your shoulder as you left.

You're fabricating an argument where none exists wotsthat.

I've said from the start, I bought in December 2009, and I also said - if I gave a hoot about global averages - the Q1 figures would be more reflective of the average prices when I bought. That would be the lag.

This is what I said.
This is what I have kept saying.:rotfl:

So we're right. The date that I agreed the price (december 09) matters.
I do hope Light takes notice of your admonishment.

His meaningless semantic pedantry does little to cover up the fact that he started out by insinuating that I hadn't bought,
and has had to climb down to wittering about the legal interpretation of "buying". For no apparent reason.

Fair enough. Although the critical difference is that Renovation man doesn't actually land the blows JB. He just keeps saying he did and hopes no one notices. They do.

So effectively, to all intents and purposes, in every way that matters, you've "bought" when you signed the contract yeah?

Hey light. You forgot to answer the important question too. :rotfl:

Sure. Everyone is in no doubt you land with every shot. Are self-inflicted "BOOM HEADSHOT"s to be celebrated?
