Yeah, that's very interesting, a HPC in a town 600 miles from my front door.

Yep, that`s what Hamish said during the last crash.....:rotfl:

Ah yes, I forgot.
It's all about getting one over Hamish.

I nearly spat my coffee out at that!

You, of course, wouldn't ever partake in "getting one over" someone or a group. must be why you are so quiet on the HPC threads

I can't see what Hamish did that makes him so worthy of countless threads about him on their site. The entire forum is obsessed with Aberdeen purely because Hamish lives there, mental. Wish I could wind them up that much

I'm not aware of the history of all this. At the risk of stirring unwanted nonsense, could someone tell me?

From posts around there I always assumed Hamish was a BTL landlord. Wrong? Why do the HPC guys think that he is?

Probably best to let Hamish explain, however IIRC he owns two places and one has a relative living in it

Hamish is not a BTL landlord, and repeatedly stated so.
You probably assumed he was as the landlord label gets applied to anyone not blindly following HPC dogma.

Not a BTL landlord.

We paid off our first house by 2007, then needed to move, so bought another one.

Neither house is rented out, one is lived in by us, and the other we provide for an ageing relative to live in.

"The HPC guys" get apoplectic about me because....

1) I had a choice to buy or rent in 2007 and chose to buy - and that decision put me well, well ahead financially versus renting since then - which clearly makes me Satan

2) I have more than one property - which clearly makes me Satan

3) While they were busy being catastrophically wrong for the last 7 years - the World didn't end and the rest of us just got on with enjoying the recovery - which clearly makes me Satan

4) I haven't been particularly shy about winding them up over any of those facts...;) Which obviously makes me the Anti-[STRIKE]Christ[/STRIKE] Crash....

All good fun though.*













*Unless you're an HPC-er still busily buying a house for your landlord 7 years after being warned by Hamish it was a pretty bad idea....:)

I haven't posted there in nearly 7 years and they still freak out about house prices in a small Scottish town miles away from anywhere.

It's quite remarkable.:D

Thanks Hamish.
