Admin,
Can we please have a HPC sub-forum?Well life is harsh, hug me don't reject me.0 -
50% price reduction basically means that all the BTL speculators who bought post 2003 would loose their shirts.
:j
They'de loose their entire portfolio and their own home and any nice cars, TVs etc that they have bought with the money they have defreyed from their tennants. (Sorry I have little sympathy for people that help cause a house price boom that destroys our entire economy...)
That's why the BLT brigade start shouting obsceanities whenever anyone suggests prices could drop.Bankruptcy isn't the worst that can happen to you. The worst that can happen is your forced to live the rest of your life in abject poverty trying to repay the debts.0 -

The average BTL is bought on a 40% mortgage. Thus for the average BTLer a 50% fall in prices would mean only losing 5/6ths of their investment, leaving the income stream intact, all things being equal.0 -
Yes but where does the other 60% come from?
Go on, you know you have to say MEW!
Besides I explicitely stated those who joined post 2003 who tend to have a far higher %age. (Upto 120% in some case!). I wont argue with your 60% figures as they are probably correct as an average, skewed by the BTLers who bought places outright in the last crash or who have paid off their mortgages.
If BTL was such a good idea, estate agents etc wouldn't actually be TELLING you about it, in fact they'de be trying to talk you out of it... keep it for themselves! They are only tell people about it as they've finished buying and need people to sell their BTL properties to at a profit!Bankruptcy isn't the worst that can happen to you.
