I am a bit puzzled as to why building stocks have performed so badly and underperformed the market ? I guess they will not be able to get the raw materials they need .

Do you think it is the correct thing to do. My personal opinion is we are about to get the property price correction we should have had years ago.

That's almost 50% drop with no bounce

Astonishing though profitable for some

Equally astonishing is the rhetoric.. Either its an over reaction or there's something we don't know

It's like something out of a sci-fi movie... Can this really be true...???

I'm a bull and have been drip feeding more money in slowly.

[rwlly] 13/3/2020 16:50

Found one, where do you think the share price will go from here?

[minerve 2] 13/3/2020 16:23

I'm a bull.

[rwlly] 12/3/2020 17:21

Where have all the bulls gone?

[taffee] 11/3/2020 09:06

There is something about the monetary policy which makes no sense over the last 10 years... I mean every economic model suggests these are irresponsible decisions the results of which are unknown... How bad are things out there?

[taffee] 09/3/2020 12:07

Wow... What a payday for shorters across the market

Any bounce from here is another selling opportunity... For me that is

Who can plan for a virus event.... Don't underestimate the stock-market ability to shake thing up!

Hopefully the virus will be contained but the rhetoric is so scary who knows the truth?

Keep safe all

Any reason for today's fall? All the other builders are up 1.5-2%!

Homeowners stuck with costly leaseholds given hope of payout

"Although no decisions have been made on redress, buyers who were not told that their property was leasehold before they put down a deposit could have their homes made freehold and customers with onerous ground rents given refunds and have their leases redrawn. Housebuilders who do not co-orperate maybe taken to court."

No mention of special div yet.

[squintyflinty1] 21/2/2020 12:24

When is the special dividend going to be paid and how much is the special divi?.When does it go ex- dividend?

Incompetence or will be classed as fraud! Barratts promoted their new homes connected to a heat network as low carbon but some customers are given leaky heat setups that inflate energy usage causing additional costs, additional emissions and a misery. Yet the cost and carbon comparison avoids measuring the effectiveness of the heat units that Barratts allegedly installed?Is Barratts submitting phoney planning applications with claims of reducing emissions?

1000s of newly built homes are being promoted to be low cost and low carbon via the use of a heat network solution. 100s of new home owners are complaining of excessive monthly heat bills relative to actual requirements. 100s of customers complain of mysterious energy usage in the form of heat. 100s of customers have no idea that they are given a heat exchange configuration that has the ability to inflate energy usage without intention. A heat leaky setup with a delay valve at the point of heat exchange has equal environmental impact of an out lawed gas boiler but companies like Barratts are getting away with a loophole because the cost and co2 comparison does not factor the leaky issues! Allegedly because the heat is "inside the home". Strangely Barratts does not inform all new occupants of the issues and how to minimise the pitfalls. Instead customers heat their cupboards 365days and the more they download the more "green electricity" is generated and sold on at a profit but where does that money go? At the expense of customers they unintentionally use more energy to help boost productivity of the local energy centre causing more harm than good?! Whilst customers are told of a 10% reduction of co2 they may have to use twice as much! Therefore the saving could be a phoney and potentially an 80% increase in comparison to using traditional methods of heating. Its time Barratts informs all its customers why their heat bills are so so expensive and their carbon footprint could be far greater than if they had their own stand alone heat system.

odd that BDEV hit today even before US markets started to come off !

[lowcarboncheats] 05/2/2020 11:10

Are some Barratts homeowners unknowingly and wastfully heating their cupboards to help boost productivity and profits of the on site low carbon heat network energy centre that generates alleged green electricity and sold on at a profit. The more household download heat the profits start to increase.

[salver2] 05/2/2020 10:19

It’s about time taffee and his mate leaky Porsche gave us their special views on the housing market views which they have been wrong on for ten years - even in dec taffee insightfully told us how bad the housing market was and how he’s shorting house builders - maybe we readers should club together to help him out!

[lowcarboncheats] 05/2/2020 09:14

Barratts has left behind a legacy of causing more pollution under the presence of "low carbon heating" via one of their heat networks!!!! Xxxx://www.theguardian.com/money/2017/feb/05/district-heating-fuel-bill-regulation Come on Barratts come clean and help households minimise the energy usage!Oh the more heat households download the more green electricity is generated and sold to the grid - who is profiting from that? If there was more honesty that would mean households would be leaner and cleaner with their so called low carbon heating but that would reduce the profit of selling on green electricity and would expose the unfairness of costs associated with a low carbon heat network.

[lowcarboncheats] 05/2/2020 09:09

Barratts still remains hush hush over the cause of this customer xxxx://www.theguardian.com/money/2017/feb/05/district-heating-fuel-bill-regulation Its partially caused by a delay reacting valve and activating the system regularly without intention. Every time a customer boots up their heat box it consumes energy to heat up also undeclared in the glossy brochures he delay reaction means absorbing heat from a secondary source ie hot water tank! This inflates energy usage

[lowcarboncheats] 05/2/2020 09:04

Its rather alarming how a plc company like Barratts can continue to spin their environmental policy yet claim quiet about its recent unfair activates of installing equipment in 1000s of homes and claim its low carbon heating. Barratts with its partners are not telling homeowners why their monthly heat bills are usually exclusively high relative to actual requirements.Maybe its about time Barratts told its shareholders about the delay reacting valve that has the ability to inflate energy usage? What about some households are unknowingly cooling their hot water tanks prior to temperature increase? All this inflates low carbon energy and magically still declared are a reduction of emissions!!
