    Seeing as you are consistently wrong about house price predictions I really hope the OP didn’t!!!

    No I wouldn’t. But the difference is I don’t offer comments and advice with a motive of trolling for house prices to crash.

    I offer help and advice based on usually past experience.

    You however bang on about all houses being too expensive, worthless and would never buy any that anyone asks advice on....simply because you are a regretful renter longing for house prices to crash.

    Tell me have any of your house predictions over last 10 years been correct? Well it’s NONE, so as you have no idea why should anyone listen to your ‘advice’? You are a troll and all anyone has to do is look at your posting history to see that.
