Hi the most balanced property show on TV is back, should be a good watch.


The Truth About Property

Mon 12 May, 8:00 pm - 9:00 pm 60mins
Are You Crashproof?

How does the turmoil in the housing market affect you? Are you able to weather the mortgage storm? The Truth About Property returns for a new series as house prices fall and the housing market is slowing down.

In the first programme presenters Andrew Verity and Jenny Scott travel throughout the UK to find out how households would survive a housing crash. Andy meets the Sawbridge family in Sheffield who are struggling to pay the mortgage and keep a roof over their heads, whilst Jenny meets a property investor who is sure there is money to be made even when times are hard.

Yep. To be fair he was pretty subdued on re-interview He had been laid off obviously, was just selling his car and turning down his lifestyle. Then he gets a job as a 'part time mortgage advisor'. Great

Didn't really get much out of the show. Pretty much obvious stuff really.

My heart bleeds for the chap that will now "only" get £1.4 Million for his house!

Yes. Buy it cheap and sell it cheap. Thats the way to make a fortune, especially in btl.

Off to China on holiday, he hasn't learnt a thing.

The programme may have stated the obvious to those that come on here, but it may have been an eye opener for the less well informed.

I thought that myself! He's not learnt a thing. Like a lot of people I suspect you've been using their house as a cash machine.
How do you stop it though?
