    These posts become boring.

    Not as boring as listening to the "I've made so much money on property in the last 10 years, you should invest in property"...

    Not as boring as the endless property programs on daytime TV.

    Not as boring as various posters telling me that my property will be worthless come the crash.

    Who told you your property will be "worthless"?

    Do you own a new build flat by any chance? :rotfl:

    Both extremes are equally tedious.
    I'm somewhere in the middle, being a recent buyer, but someone who also thinks that prices are unrealistically high.

    A trend I have noticed is for even mild questioning of house prices to receive semi-abusive replies from a small band of people who are determined that prices must not be questioned in any case. It strikes me that a certain mindset is present; one of fear. Allied with this is the hope that by shouting the loudest then their expectations will become true.

    Bruno.

    You are a sad t0sser and should seek some help.

    Your posts and your videos are hideous and are the ramblings of an sick, deluded idiot.

    I love the luxurious surroundings in the background by the way. You've done really well for yourself

    Sorry to kick you when you're down, but you are a pr1ck.

    #1. The people that run these "sell your house and rent back" companies are generally lying thieves and are best avoided

    #2. This time next year house prices in general will be lower than they are now

    #3. Cheap houses are a good thing not a bad thing

    More than a !!!!!, I think he is actually mentally unwell (and no, I'm not saying that as an insult, I'm serious.) Some definite autistic/schizoid features apparent.

    Its not me who is predicting the fututre. Surely the tealeaf readers are the HPC lot. They have been predicting the future for years now ( and been wrong ever since) I take it, it is these people who are thanking you for your ridiculous post. I base my opinions only on what I see and I see no crash.
