TV Tonight

Looks like house price obsessives (myself included) are in for a treat tonight on TV.
Just about to start is "The Truth About Property" on BBC2, which looks like great TV for the bears on here, while the bulls can watch "How to Be a Property Developer" on C5 at 8pm also.
Whoo-hoo!

Why can't they put all house price shows onto one channel and just merge any that start elsewhere into a 'master' programme?

Good evening: Get a Humax, record both, then fast forward though the carp bits at your leisure while posting on MSE...now that is multitasking!

I guess there'll be an Audi TT going cheap very soon - complete with vanity plate, garden shed and hot tub. What a banker!

I couldn't believe the comment that this guy was somehow "winning" on the property ladder. He's not building equity, he's spending it!Errors of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to combat it. - Jefferson0

And he's an EA :rotfl:
I think he's a sandwich or two short of a picnic
Makes me feel alot better though ........and I haven't got a TT, a 52" plasma tv or a garden chalet complete with hot tub and bar like he has.Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.0 -

I'm a big believer in planning for the worst, and hoping for the best. This guy is simply hoping for the best.Errors of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to combat it. - Jefferson0 -
Fantastic programme - it really exposes the rotten side of the house price boom that's so often presented as a massively win-win for everyone.
So many 'jaw dropped in disbelief' moments: The young baby essentially living in a cupboard, the woman who sold her house to a shyster 'we buy your home and rent it back to you' company, the idiot estate agent who was MEWing his way into ever greater debt to buy luxuries he couldn't afford, the couple living in a perfectly nice terraced house facing compulsory purchase so developers could build new houses that they could never possibly afford.....
Whoops, in danger of getting too negative and being banished to the ghetto thread just created to keep rational discussion under control :mad:--
Every pound less borrowed (to buy a house) is more than two pounds less to repay and more than three pounds less to earn, over the course of a typical mortgage.0 -

Don't worry - come January he's unlikely to have all that stuff for much longer, either --
