HPC On Here Trying To Cause Panic

I've posted this on a few threads, but thought it was worth creating a thread of it's own.
Be careful about listening to "advice" or comments on here.
The HPC (House Price Crash) losers are amazingly even more desperate than usual and are making stuff up on here and elsewhere pretending to be buyers pulling out, or sellers whose buyers have pulled out, hoping they can panic people and might finally get the economic disaster they've been wanting after 15 years of being wrong and paying a BTLer's mortgage for him:-
"I think we can all be pro-active now and do our bit to give any potential downward pressure momentum by getting on other forums that are discussing the effects on house prices and claiming that we are/were potential buyers who have now withdrawn or reduced our offers.
Don't underestimate the power of internet forums, the Daily Mail and Express frequently now have feature articles based on nothing more than threads on Mumsnet, MSE etc
It's all about SENTIMENT and we can influence it."

Be careful who you listen to! Some people really are that unprincipled, desperate and bitter.

Yes and hopefully will be soon.
The house did not plummet in value overnight.
Where is the proof that it is worth less now than 2 days ago?
Scare mongering *may* result in a drop in house prices but it will be gradual.
Ageing is a privilege not everyone gets.0 -
I exchange in 3 weeks and I am going through with it . Yes there MIGHT be a crash but there MIGHT be an earthquake in an hour. Ifs buts and maybe's are a fact of life. I am going shopping in a bit my car could break down or my wallet be pinched. Hang on I will stay at home and do an online shop. Oh wait I could have my credit card details stolen online......
Just carry on as normal I would say0 -
Blimey ixwood you certainly seem to be panicking about any potential drop in prices.0

Having a home to call your own. To know you made your choice (without your back against the wall), to have the home YOU WANT so close to being yours... finally.
It'd only be a loon that pulled out just because of some crazy stuff they read on the Internet, or random people pulled into the telly studios for their 2 minutes of fame.
You made your choice 1-2 months ago; have the backbone to believe in yourself and your choices.
The "worst" that can happen is you've got your own bolthole to ride out any ripples in.0 -
Yeah, I noticed the doom and gloom merchants posting yesterday.
I've never bought a house for the profit, always bought it live in.0 -
If you think about it, housing stock decreased massively due to Brexit, as before we could buy any house in Europe but now we're stuck on this silly island, so houses should be worth more now.0

There's never any proof that houses are worth any specific value, except what one or more people are prepared to pay for them. A house can plummet in value if no-one wants to buy it.
We pulled out of a house purchase because while we thought the house was in reasonable condition the survey revealed that it really wasn't. It was 'worth' one price to us when we made the offer, but it was worth a lot less to us when the extent of the problems were revealed.
Personally I'm hoping things stabilise rather than crash, we want a home to live in for a number of years not a financial investment. If we were mid-purchase I would imagine we would continue with it rather than pull out. As it is we aren't so we'll likely hang fire on making any offers until we know how things go over the next couple of weeks.Savings target: £25000/£25000
