Hello, I am from housepricecrash.co.uk, and I firstly just wanted to apologise for the quote (see above) from our thread discussing this thread. If you check out our thread, the person has now apologised. It was a misunderstanding, they had not realised that this is a website for mums.
More impportantly, the reason we find this thread so intersesting is that it is an example of "real" people beginning to figure out that the lies and spin peddled by the BBC and other media about the housing market do not match with what people are experiencing in real life.
MissJones sums it up when she says "It makes me mad when the BBC report house prices have risen yet again, they havent where I live."
Well, they have not risen anywhere. It is a lie. House prices are falling everywhere in the country, and properties are not selling, but the media are not reporting it, because all they do is regurgitating the manipulated figures issued by mortgage lenders and estate agents. You should also be aware that many BBC hournalists own buy-to-let properties, and therefore will try to talk up the housing market in their reporting. I did an interview on BBC Radio West Midlands yesterday and in the middle of the interview the show host himself admitted that he was a buy-to-let landlord himself.
If there is one lesson to be learnt from this discussion, then it is that you should all take the word of the media with a pinch of salt.
As for those people on here whose property is not selling, there is nothing wrong with the property. It's the price that's too high.
