Anthony buys pad in Redcar despite credit crunch
THE CURRENT credit crunch hasn’t put first time buyer Anthony McIntyre off investing in property.
The 21-year-old, pictured above, has climbed the first rung of the property ladder, buying a one-bedroom apartment in Redcar.
He has just moved into the flat at G2 Redcar, a development purposely aimed at first-time buyers.
Having previously lived with his parents in nearby Dormanstown, Anthony - who is a scaffolder for Corus - wanted to move out and find a place of his own.
He says: “There’s a lot of talk about a credit crunch, which is worrying people who want to buy a house.
You need to get out there and actually do something.
I’ve lived in my apartment for about a month now and everything is going great.”

He is doing well for himself, not only can he afford a poorly decorated flat he has also invested in silicone bicep implants. Well done that man, he really understands the state of the market.:D

Man buys an apartment
It's says something about the condition of the market when it becomes news a FTB has bought a property. Good luck sailorboy.0 -

I was thinking more along the lines of what's a bloke doing with a pan in his hand?Where is the stack of dirty plates and empty pizza boxes?
I'm also curious how he's heating up whatever's in the pan when all the hob knobs are turned off :rotfl: , not to mention the cooker switch on the wall is also in the off position :rotfl: .
I'm also convinced that that head and the body are actually from two different pictures, ie. some photoshop trickery at play.
And !!!!!! is that "feature" wallpaper all about? :eek:
Like I said - so many things wrong with that picture.

So are you saying this is in fact a fake, and an apartment in Redcar hasn't sold after all?
The market really is screwed.
Time for a ROFL emoticon methinks.

I'm also willing to bet theres nothing whatsoever in that pan he's stirring on the turned off hob he's standing at.
Its a visual metaphor for the housing market!0
