As I said upstream, it is stupid to ascertain buying is always the right path for every individual at all times.

It clearly isnt, and some people have no choice.

The issue with this thread is the rudeness shown to people who think there is sometimes a time to buy, sometimes a time to rent.

Money is not at the heart of most peoples thinking, but some of the greedy so and sos here see that profit is the goal for everyone, and woe betide people who talk of losses as a fact of life...which they are for some.

Windmillers stuck with a highly leveraged portfolio are going to get hit in any price drop...maybe not 1 or 2 %, but who knows where it could go...it might be that prices continue to rise, and the windmiller "stocks up" some more...making his "empire" all the more risky.

Good luck to you all.

I've only seen rudeness in retaliation to some HPC trolls.... don't get so upset.

You are clearly in the wrong place then. The "M" in MSE stands for "Money". 50,000+ posts on HPC tells me you care somewhat about the property market.

All the HPC crew do all day is talk about losses. Admittedly, they have been wrong about them for the better part of a decade but that's neither here nor there.

That countofnowhere is the biggest loser of them all.

I read this what an absolute loser he is, I can t believe his posts telling people to F*** off, what a bitter and twisted loser. :rotfl:

They slag him off for not being a first time buyer and try to bring up old threads when he was making a joke about selling a car and not a house, found that funny,

In which case, saving money is what I am about by repeating that buying is NOT always the cheapest or the right thing to do.

For some, the saving in money is relative to the lifestyle they can achieve in terms of their current monthly outgoings...If you want a big place from the off, then unless you are wealthy, then renting is clearly the best option from day 1.

Saying otherwise and being rude is not helping anyone...some posters on here sound like the sales front for a firm trying to sell mortgages.

In all fairness, he claimed to be a first time buyer when a previous posting he made claims he wasnt..he was a seller before the FTB purchase he was posting about.

So, he is either a loon posting random posts or just liar trying to make a VI case. Certainly a poster not to get into debate with.

So what? It looks like bitter jealously to an outsider. He is £100k better off for making a decision. What a "loon".

there is a tendency to assign particular emotions to posters who are at odds with the cabal of high house prices are good set.

Please dont assign emotions to me, as you have no idea whether I am upset, ecstatic or couldnt care less.

rudeness is simply bad form and is part of the bullying that is going on...it degenerates debate when personal attacks are made.

no, it looks like a liar has been caught from his own words.

for all you know, he has never bought, never sold, maybe is posting from his cell or classroom.

All I know for sure, is that his claims for what is his experience are now known to be in doubt...

There are far more 'loons' on HPC than any other site that discuss House Prices. I see the Moderators have kicked the posting into the long grass and PPR'd the poster. Nothing like an 'open forum' :rotfl:

Yawn, if you read the thread. Nobody has cheered on unsustainable HPI, If you read the thread again you may notice that crashy has cheered on a housing crash...... P.S I wouldn't call it rudeness either, I would call it an adequate response to trolling from crashy.
