I posted but they didn't allow mine through.
Also looks like their page navigation is screwed. I can't see the comments on pages 2 and 3. Good old UTV huh!
My one went on too. The 'Homeowner' chap is a bit confusing.... No crash but it could go down by 40%.... what the hell does he call a crash then!?
yeah VI radar going off a touch here...or else he's clinging at straws of some odd description
On 21 Feb at 13:27 - Recent FTB from Bangor said:
I bought at the start of the 2007 (admittidly in a panic) and the value of my apartment continued to rise. Only now does it appear I am heading towards negative Equity. I do wish I hadnt bothered buying but as I intend to move to a bigger house this year (in the unlikely event of finding a buyer for my current place)my hope is that my target house is coming down in price quicker than my currrent house. So even if I sink into negative equity, it will be OK as I should still pick up a bargain wiht my next house (aside from the fact of the annoyance that I should have just kept renting int he first place). Nonsense?
....from the UTV site....OUCH!!!!!!!!!

If you compare the Ulster University reports from Q3 and Q4 2007, you will see that the falls quoted in the article are for just a 3 months period. So house prices have actually fallen by £6,500 a month.

He/she might be in for a tough ride - apartments are almost guaranteed to fall way faster than "bigger houses"! What a mess...
The BBC are reporting the following:

Semi-detached: £243,223
Terraced: £199,392

Something does not add up....

Yea... I have been published
Oh boy... could anybody (in their right mind) read that post and want to buy a house now?
You would think they would have corrected my typo/spelling mistake.
Attacking house prices is like attacking Van Morrison.
It's something that gelled to two communities together.
When i talked w. Helen Carson she told me about the Troubles and how we should be grateful for the future Negative Equity, repossessions and destruction of our economy at the hands of a property bubble that made everyone (who owned property) richer than their wildest dreams.

Hi Max - when exactly did Helen C say all this? Was it recently? I noticed a very sobering report from her in last nights Belfast Telegraph. http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/homefind...icle3447575.ece
this was about 3 months ago - i was so pissed off with her Windsock opinions with the bottom line of "things are going to be alright"
I'm going to give her a call in a few months when - having followed her recommendations people would have lost their salaries worth on houses.
I was also annoyed at her asking Estate Agents to give their views on the property situation.
The thing is that all news is pretty much sindicated - she doesn't do that much - but you might expect someone whose job it is to report the news - that they might have some foresight about the situation here.

There is no link. It was a comment allegedly made by HC during a phone conversation.
Nobody has made any comments after mine, in the UTV link. Boy do I know how to end a discussion.

Presumably the UTV team don't moderate postings then!?!? Comedy gold (if it isn't a wind up)...

Who remembers Harry Enfield's Stavros character? Who thought of him when they read this? And all the nonsense we hear about our wondrous schools?
I sent him this...
are you on drugs?? It's plain to see that you'll soon be sitting in negative equity and you're grasping at straws to be honest. For a "canny" investor....you should use some of your 1.8million portfolio to buy a dictionary too...

It really is worrying when an individual with such limited grasp of English grammar can get hold of so much money.
