AtW - come move to London!

Nah, I like the "province" - houses are bigger for the same price, cheaper overall and people are more laid back - London is too busy.

Don't forget that there was a over-pricing fraud going on with some developments, particularly popular in Docklands.

At an auction organised by Allsop last Monday, a flat in an upmarket area of Leeds that was bought for £400,000 in July 2007 sold for just £159,000. A reduction of 60pc.

"City centre flats haven't fallen 17pc – it's much worse than that."

I don't agree. These properties were never worth what they were sold for.

The developers just managed to find (several thousand) numskull southern BTL'ers who were preared to pay over the odds because, by London standards, they "looked cheap".

Quite possibly, you anal-retentive autistic geek.

So now you are not so sure then?

So, that makes you very confident that he is a majority shareholder?

So, a chap named Alistair Humphrey owns a company named Eadon Lockwood & Riddle? Should I bother checking the Companies House data or not? Nah.

Ah I didn't realise if you bought or created a company it had to be in your name. Silly me

As I know you're ignorant the following phrase suggest ownership:

"Alistair Humphrey, whose Eadon Lockwood & Riddle estate agency "

[AtW]

He owns the company from what I see so is entitled to make any decisions he thinks fit.

This is your preferred model of capitalism - he is actually going to be all right and will probably get a very large bonus for keeping company profitable (by sacking staff). He should have been sacked first for incompetence with a heavy penalty for bad decisions made under his watch - now that would be my model of capitalism (no rewards for failures).

And he'll still make more profit than you

There are several dull posters on this board, but one person stands way above the rest spouting the same old crap day after day after day...

Please don't quote him. My life is immeasurably enhanced not having to see his dull crud. At least atW's crud is so wacky it's entertaining.
