Of course you have an account over on HPC. All the goons have. You're just ashamed about what you've posted over there. Why join one forum to discuss house prices but not another. Doesn't make sense.

But I really do not :rotfl:

See this is the problem with this board, you have got a stereotype in your silly little head and you cannot shift it.
You can keep saying it as often as you want, yet you have no idea if I have an account or not, but it makes you fit in with the over whelming message of this board.

And the silly thing is I would not have shame in opening an account on HPC, I am sorry nearly if all of you have been banned on there, but you are all probably behaving like you do on this board.

"BALANCED"

You must be kidding. It is the same 12 guys logging on everyday flooding the board with the same message with a few other not so regular, but regular enough, picking on the only two guys with a justified worry about

the UK economy and probable/possible outcomes that could well happen.

I started of with every intention of a civilised debate, it is impossible on this board. But I find the aggression very telling, the ideas of the few bearish posters are the major worries of those who for whatever reason do not want any backward trend in house prices.

P.S And I know I will have to keep repeating this.. I do not have an account at HPC, but Hey, that will not stop you lot.

I've never had a HPC account but this site is balanced, I have been logging on for a few years am not a BTL landlord. If you don't think it's balanced you must have a blinkered view. I argue with people who state categorically there will be as crash because it's impossible to be that certain.

Didn't you pretend you hadn't even heard of HPC until the other day?

I would not say the other day, but not until I read the huge thread that is now on here.

"Pretend"??

Justify that statement with something a little better than a wild guess. Just because you log onto that site everyday, does that mean everyone else might.

Secondly, why have a massive thread on here if everyone else is reading it every day and people "like me" are already members.

See, this is the very point I am making, there is no sound logic or proof to any of your daily rantings and set mantra, you have no way of knowing if I have an account on HPC, it's what sits well with what you would like to believe.


And I really do not have an account with HPC, that is the most laughable bit about all this, but you and your little chums will post that I have everyday contrary to that FACT


Seriously, why don't you dozen guys on here go and open an account at HPC, it really is all you ever talk about, can you not see how laughable it is. Go and "debate" in that "balanced" way that you do, who is stopping you?

Thanks. Just moving across the road to a larger House. I need more room, and it's got a Garage you could park four cars in!

EA came round yesterday,so House is now on the Market. Two viewing this afternoon.

Good luck, did you think of extending (saving on agents fees/stamp duty/solicitor etc.)? I was thinking of doing that (still might) but I really can't be bothered living in a building site for a few months.

Which reminds me, I must buy four Smart cars so that I can do the same. :-)

I'm a bit miffed about having to cough up nearly £25k for stamp duty,EA fees and Solicitors costs, but in return I'm getting what I want, and there's not another house with so much room in the Road. I'd thought of extending, but wouldn't even achieve half the extra space I need.

Getting what you want, counts for a lot.

We don't actually need any extra space, the reason that I was/am considering extending is that our 3 bed house isn't particularly large, yet it is on a large plot, and in a good street, and there is a shortage of good 4/5 bed detached houses here in Dorking. As we will probably move in later years, it makes sense to get the max value by extending. But I don't fancy going through all that disruption, I suspect that we will at some point, but at the moment it is always 'next year'.

I am detecting a certain amount of bullishness in the housing market of late. A number of people with cash are talking about “buying later this year”, or “taking advantage of these low rates”.

A gent I met at a drinks party at the weekend was very keen on a property in Kensington because it was down from £3 million to one and a half. Foreigners, we are told, are taking advantage of the falling pound to buy prime Central London property. Viewing activity at my neighbour’s unsellable (or overpriced) house is increasing. At the recent Savills auctions, London properties in decent areas were still fetching surprisingly good prices.

There are even some at the great refuge of the bears, website housepricecrash, who are now considering buying, though well below market value.

From lower interest rates and quantitative easing to almost forcing banks to lend, the government seems to be doing everything in its power to engineer a bounce.

But it’s a mistake to buy now. It’s a big, big bull trap…

Great prediction on moneyweak. I bet those HPC's are 'coining' it now.

His analysis was "house prices must fall because it matches the pattern on this picture and because of silver".
