... over the next 2 years and this will be my proof
32 Gray Street, Hartlepool, TS24 8EN

(Look it up on Rightmove)

I bet a similar house in the same area will cost £50K in 2 years' time.

:)

p.s. Where is that house price thread sticky?

    Very good. The property is at auction, so will probably go for more than 38K in the first place (as most properties sell for a good margin over guide), and also is likely to need a good level of work.

    You then show a "similar" property in an EA window in good condition in two years time for over 50k, and hey preso, you're "prediction" is validated.

    Have you thought about becoming a magician

    Similar houses in similar areas couldn't be given away 15 years ago.

    You could buy a whole street for 5k

    That would have been an even bigger profit.

    #1. The people that run these "sell your house and rent back" companies are generally lying thieves and are best avoided

    #2. This time next year house prices in general will be lower than they are now

    #3. Cheap houses are a good thing not a bad thing

    Presumably I can take it that Hartlepool is a hellhole then. I was under the impression that it's a nice spot. No idea why.

    OK, fair point,

    nethouseprices shows Perth Street as having 8 sales recorded so far this year with prices ranging from £40,000 and £51,000 but average £45,771.

    I bet the first 8 sales after 1 Jan 2009 are 25% higher.

    In case you hadn't already worked it out - the entire global financial system is predicated on the assumption that you're an idiot:cool:

    Ha ha, yes. I'd forgotten that! Didn't they also vote in the football mascot (Hangus IIRC) as mayor?

    I'll have a tenner charity bet with you if you like. My belief is that house prices are going to fall and it's the hellholes that are going to be hit hardest.

    Ten quid to my charity if the average of the first 8 sales on Perth Street , Hartlepool after 1/1/2009 is less than £57,213.75. Ten quid to yours if it's £57,213.76 or greater.

    Up for it?
