The comment I'm reading out in this video (reproduced below) was from last night's video: "18 Verifiable Reasons UK House Prices ARE Crashing in 2023 - Prove The Doubters Wrong"

It made me so happy I had to share it with everyone.

Just got a 400k offer accepted on a house listed in July 22 at 500k (reduced to 475, then 460 then 425 to then accept by 400 offer only because I said to the agent to encourage the seller to stop holding out and chasing the market down- get ahead of it). Better yet an identical house (floor plan, garden size, condition) round the corner (same estate) was completed in Dec 22 for 500k. Genuinely got a 20% off/pre-crashed house!!! Only viewed and offered after seeing Charlie’s encouragement to disregard the guff! Because 400 is our absolute ‘post-truss’ max and didn’t think there was a point seeing a 425 list. He also stopped us paying 450k (our pre-truss max) for a smaller place in Aug 22 through his don’t overpay mantra. When we see new headlines in 6-8 months saying HOUSES CRASH 20% we will be sitting in our home thinking “yup, we know, we did that!” rather then “oh god well there goes our deposit!”

I am FTB. To all other FTBs, there is hope no matter your budget, Charlie is 100% right GET OUT THERE AND VIEW. Charlie is also right about being nice to agents, the agent actually persuaded the seller to take our 400 offer rather than the seller wanting it!


Direct to Charlie, thank you. You have single handedly got my wife and I to likely avoid negative equity (we have 15% down on this and it’s 20% crashed already = 35%) and have bought for the long term - intended to stay 8-10 years and grow into the house. Granted -20% price may not be the bottom of the market as you say but we’ve reached a point where we need to move - been looking for a whole year almost to the day. In the game of blackjack that buying a house at this time is, we got dealt a 17 and stuck rather than twisting (waiting longer in market) to get a perfect 21 but with high risk of losing out by drawing a 5 or higher.

Thank you Charlie. Genuinely, thank you. If we ever cross paths somehow I will recognise you and buy you a beer at the least."

Thank YOU for that wonderful encouraging story!

Remember, to have a good chance of getting your offer accepted, you need to have a mortgage in principle in place first. If you don't have one, talk to my hand picked magic mortgage guys, they're independent and can access the whole of the market. Pop your details in here and I'll put you in touch: https://mhwc.co.uk
