TONIGHT WITH TREVOR MCDONALD – LOOKING FOR HOMEOWNERS/FIRST TIME BUYERS

Tonight with Trevor MacDonald are looking for homeowners and first time buyers for a programme.

Specifically wanted

First Time Buyers, is it the right time to buy, have you put off buying to see if the market will slow down?  You’ll be able to talk through the issues with an expert, probably Kirsty Allsop, who’ll see if they can help

Existing borrowers worried about negative equity?  Are you in an area where house prices may fall below the purchase price.  This time you'll be talking to me.

If you fancy it call Emily Knowles, Assistant Producer, Tonight with Trevor McDonald on 0161 827 2206 or 07767 654072 or email emily.knowles@granadamedia.com .Don’t worry it won’t cost you a thing,she’ll call you back.

Kirsty Allsop an expert?

Pal

Kirsty Allsop an expert?    :D

LOL.

This programme will be worth watching. I fully expect Kirsty Allsop to advise that house prices are all grossly overvalued and FTBs shouldn't touch them with a barge pole.

Kirsty Allsop an expert........

Purleese.......!!

The crash (sorry, soft landing / stagnation) is imminent, yet on LLL she tells us "If you snooze, you loose"

...... and just watch her when someone tries to oppose her "Property will never crash" tunnel vision, she gets all red and emotional. All the toys come out the pram.

Poor girl. Hope she has a handy bolt hole.

I look forward to watching Kirsty eat her hat in early October:

"Not even with a soft landing because there isn't going to be a fall, and you can't have a landing without a fall."
"September, mid-september, we'll see the market comes back up. If it doesn't come back up this time, I'll eat my hat."
Kirsty Allsopp, on 06/09/04, BBC Radio 5.

So what are you going to tell them? You were brainwashed by Kirsty, sorry but you'll just have to tough it out?

When's this going to be on air?

The programmes already filmed and in the end they didnt use Kirstie they changed the nature of the prog slightly. So it was me and a woman from Your Mortgage magazine and estate agents.

Nobody with vested interests in hoping the bubble is not pricked then...

I am looking forward to seeing "Location location location revisited" in a couple of years time where Kirsty goes back to visit people who have bankrupted themselves buying an overpriced palace in the country for the wife and a flat in London for the husband to shag his secretary during the week.

Well in my interview, I said "i wouldnt listen to anyone who tells you house prices won't crash. And i wouldnt listen to anyone who tells you they will. I don't know. They don't know. We don't know. No one knows. Anyone who says they do - is lying."

In fact i had this debate before on ITN news a week ago with

HEad of estate agent body who said "definitely no crash"
Chief Economist for a consultancy who said "definite 30% crash"

I said "no one knows, you just have to plan for worst, hope for best, it's all just speculation and everyone needs to realise that.  Anyone who tells you they know is talking rubbish"

The funny thing is they both then agreed, on the fact I wasn wrong, experts can make predictions and hence they are accurate - even though they were both experts and predicting the opposite outcome.   Lovely world.
