Provided Martin also supplies a sub (normal) board for those who champion house price inflation.

How does that sound?

Sounds like the perfect solution!

I have had a quick look, but have not seen threads started to champion house price inflation, could you provide me with the links?

If you do find them, I will request a seperate sub-board, as it's only fair.

It's pretty mindless clicking on such threads, don't you think?

Or are you the sort of person who just happens to stumble onto a nudist beach to be "appalled" to find fat naked people there?

Some thread titles are designed to mislead my friend.


They are yet another trap awaiting the unwary.

Just had some new houses built round the corner from me (east anglia), all sold off plan (probly btl'ers). Still lots of demand here.. And other local areas houses snapped up VERY quickly..(friend just sold a 3 bed bungalow for £275k in 1st week). Although I accept there are regional differences..

Personally I hope house prices drop about 10-15% so I can avoid the ridiculous 3% stamp duty over 250k which doesn't buy much round here EA's, banks and the government have been bleeding us dry for too long now..

As a narrator perhaps.

Pointing out the silly bits.





Like Terry Wogan on Eurovision.

Forsooth my friends, I think I can just pull it off.

I am currently working on a storyboard for my new project.
I am yet to decide on you as presenter/narrator as you seem to have the preposition of a loose cannon that could make or break my project, but one has to take risks (a bit like the property market) to make an impact.

The home owning British public are yet to be convinced that tumbling house prices can be a good thing, but I am sure that the distracting qualities of a select bevy of beauties can convince them otherwise.

That would be Melissa's parting words at the end of each episode as she and I disappear into the spare room of the featured house.;)

Never mind my friend.......



"chacun a son gout" as the french would say



I have also been known to display restraint my friend.

Sometimes the circumstances demand it.


And I also have what the french would describe as "savoir faire"

These projects sometimes demand that as well don't they my holy friend?




Do not rule anything out my friend and good luck

It is possible that a HPC could come as part of a self-fulfilling prophecy. I'm still thinking about this, so bear with me whilst I work through the logic of this argument.

There have been a lot of HPC stories in the press/on radio recently, which I'm sure will have some owners nervous. Many will be thinking of selling/downsizing perhaps as a result.

So on to the market comes a glut of homes, which then don't shift, and the people on the rung below are nervous about making the next move up. So the prices drop, and house prices "deflate".

However, all these people who are moving have to find somewhere else to move to - be it rental or buying somewhere.

Net: the market will stagnate, and the only people who will move will be the ones who have to.

For a HPC, you'd need a major economic f***up where people were FORCED to sell their properties, at whatever price. I don't foresee that happening.

However, I can see the market stagnating, and slowing down. All this HPC talk will not result in a crash, but a growth slow down.



Feel free to pick holes in my argument. Unless you choose to make silly comments like "our friend" Sortofok.

Also, Saint - why are you obsessed by me and property programmes?

Actually, I'd love a job presenting a TV programme like that. I used to do quite a bit of TV and radio work, and I love DIY. I'm also opinionated enough to do it I suspect and wouldn't mind telling some moron buyers that they've paid way over the odds for a piece of rubbish!
