Crashy I do not think you really believe what you are posting.
After all how can someone seriously say they started predicting a crash in 2007 without saying exactly when that crash would be?
I think you love all the attention.0 -
It's not the fact that people don't think prices could fall, it's your insistence that prices are going to crash. Nobody knows with any certainty what house prices will do and people should be aware that prices could just as easily rise as fall.
No, anyone with a basic economic/political sense can see that falling is the easier option, a main political party just laid out their election stall based on this happening....0 -
Cheeky but it happens all the time. Just got to hold your nerve0

It might be but you don't know for certain and have been saying it's going to happen for 10 years yet prices have increased.Crashy_Time wrote: »No, anyone with a basic economic/political sense can see that falling is the easier option, a main political party just laid out their election stall based on this happening....0 -

Can you predict EXACTLY when all danger of a "crash" will have passed please. If the best banking brains on the planet (supposedly) couldn`t predict the 2008 meltdown, how do you expect someone on a forum to predict EXACTLY when the housing market will correct ? There are far too many variables at play, but I think the direction of travel is becoming clearer by the day, especially when major political parties feel it is safe to say things like "Use it or Lose it" about property! We are a long way from the glory days of LLL Toto!0 -

That doesn`t explain why you feel the need to influence how others react to certain posters though?0 -

I'm not trying to influence them I just let them know that you have ulterior motives and are not trying to offer sensible advice.0 -

Why do you think they need help to work out what is sensible advice? As I said, most people can spot posters who have large mortgages trying to say that this is the way to go, while trying to shut down any discussion that says it might not be the way to go just as easily as they can spot someone who is obviously talking nonsense. IMO when the future PM is talking the HPC talk I am not talking nonsense

Quick Update - We completed on the sale of the property at the original price with the new buyer who was a delight to deal with. So in less than 8 weeks the sale was completed and the new buyer delighted. Glad we stuck to our decision. Thanks for all the support we got.0
