Good luck James

The problem with a site such as HPC is that you can be become totally blinkered, you have too always keep an open mind.

I still think the housing market has a shock coming to it, and like most shocks it will hit us when we are least expecting it and will the become "obvious" to all the "experts" out there.

But for those expecting a huge sharp fall in property prices are seeing that scenario slowly disappearing and a slow long deflating one taking it's place.

What was put into place to prevent the crash in 2008 is still going to bite us in the bum at some point IMO, we basically said to the markets "back off us mate and give us a huge stimulus and we will pay you back when I start getting my big wages again"(GDP).

Anyway, welcome to the MSE, and good luck with your new house, your input will be interesting coming from a man that turned rom the darkside:)

Thanks HSW

I would not be surprised by a shock coming to the housing market at all. I think a massive correction should happen for the good of FTB and for everyone in general and the economy, nothing really comes good of high house prices, and then people dont have spare cash to spend on anything else other than high mortgage costs. so really this is bad for everyone.

but with the government doing all it can, i think, like you that it will be flat or 1-2% falls for at least 10 years. For me i just ran out of time, because of my age. i could not wait another 2 years let alone 5 or 10. I have just put myself in a position where if they crash it does not really matter to me anymore, because i dont plan on selling this house for 20 years, if at all.

Welcome aboard James.

Just not thinking houses are going to fall to 10p a pop is enough to get you banned from the forum hpc.co.uk.

There are two forces of darkness at work over on the forum hpc.co.uk

1) Bruce Banner



This nefarious individual longs for house price crash like a no armed man with an itching scrotum longs for arms. He claims to have half a million in the bank and he will go to any lengths to justify his inexplicable decision to rent while giving his comparably pitiful savings yield to his landlord; a man Bruce Banner claims to run rings around in financial acumen.

Bruce Banner shamelessly and ignobly projects his financial situation onto young and desperate new posters yearning for advice. He confuses them with his arrogance, his innumeracy, and the fact that anyone who tries to point out that he can't add up his own personal situation, yet alone advise on those less fortunate, is immediately deleted.


2) The Masked Tulip



This individual haunts the forum hpc.co.uk rather like the witches in MacBeth. He paints the pages of that forum with long incantations which he hopes will summon unemployment, foreclosure, homelessness and misery on pretty much everyone so that he can get a cheap house.

When challenged, The Masked Tulip will squawk and preen like a startled rooster, before ensuring that his antagonist is promptly banned.

I believe if these individuals were removed it would be just a short walk into Mordor and regime change.

thanks for the welcome Rugged Toast.

I agree with you about Bruce Banner, he is always trying to convice others with his business acumen and just ends up talking a pile of $h!t. like your good-self i just laughed at his posts never took any notice of him at all.

I think with Masked Tulip he was, like us all, convinced of this massive crash/ correction coming and needed to the housing market, and the area of the country he was in public sector workers were over 50% of the jobs, and there was no way it could continue, i think it is more frustration on his part how again the governement were supplying the area with non jobs and high wages, and this in turn fueling higher and higher house prices, so HPC was an ideal place to vent his anger.

Most of the people left on HPC are clearly deranged. There's no other way to explain their behaviour and delusion.

There's a chap who was yesterday labelled a troll for stating his belief that London will not collapse. He can expect a silent ban before the week is over.

The weird thing about the HPC forums is they no longer post any threads from the MSE forums. They used to have great glee trying to humiliate posters here, particularly the ones on the Dealing with Debt forum. I don't know if Martin 'fired a shot across their bows' but for whatever reasons, it looks like they're not allowed to quote us.

As for the posters there, they're clearly deluded. I was banned after pointing out to Realist Bear, house prices were going up in West Sussex, not down as he stated. Six months later he bought

That's a bit mean of them picking on people who have fallen on hard times and ended up in debt. After hearing that I feel less sympathy for the fools now. Hopefully it was just a handfull of them.

They still have the occasional misogynistic thread about Mumsnet on there, which is quite illuminating (women are only slightly less feared and misunderstood than landlords and estate agents).

I congratulated a guy on HPC forum for 'shock horror' buying a house he was happy with and for a price he was comfortable with and got roundly flamed by the regulars. Of course a lot of it was removed by the mod's in case people read it all and thought that the forum was full of bitter morons.

I got barred from HPC for pointing out to them that their main graph of projected house prices was actually too bullish.

This is because it is based on the published Land Registry data which deliberately excludes significant numbers of "under value" sales.
My point was that if the house changed hands for that price, that is its value and it should be in the data.
Therefore HPC were significantly under estimating the amount by which the market has already fallen.

My account (in this name) stopped working the next day.

Shame really, I used to enjoy the "Most overpriced *****" thread.

what is wrong with them, i signed up and i can't seem to post or edit my posts, i have emailed the administrator many times with no reply.

You're banned. This also happened to me. So I wrote to my MP about their outrageous action. He in turn raised the issue with David Cameron. He was trying to solve the Middle East crisis at the time but he dropped that and immediately dealt with the HPC crisis intead. Anyway, the upshot is I got re-instated. So I suggest you do the same, it worked for me at least.
