BKG share price has fallen a little over a 100 points since I sold. Should I consider buying back today or wait?

Half the Middle-East and SE+NE Asia buying safe-haven assets, which sit empty year-round. You can barely get through a town-centre in Singapore, KL, etc without some agent-spiv [Knight Frank, Savills etc] trying of flog off-plan property in London*. And these people are doing that because there is a solid market for them. Such off-plan sales are what pre-fund many new developments, including BKGs

Same in the complex where we currently live, it's considered a similarly safe-haven spot in the region. Reckon no more than 10% of the units are occupied in any way. But if the Middle-East implodes it will be buzzing here very quickly IMO. Same at the condos on the other 3 sides of ours [the 4th being a hillside you couldn't build on].

* One memorable time I was in the mall at Bugis Junction Singapore, and had a guy pitching building plots under the Heathrow flight path, Hounslow or similar, 'with the prospect of getting planning permission in future'. That was perhaps the extreme example; but they're touting even such because there are buyers!

monty ... you really are full of it, with your silly bear calls whenever the shares are down and then going into hiding whenever they go up. London can I remind you is a city of nearly 9m people, and widely expected to be 10m within the next eight years.

Office for National Statistics has boroughs like Tower Hamlets expected to grow its population by 25% by 2024. So your arguments as ever are insane, since the city needs to conservatively add 50,000 new homes for a decade just to meet already tight demand. The former Lord Mayor of London and Sadiq Kahn have both confirmed this on numerous occasions, and despite you beaking your nose out the window of a train whenever you pass through the supply-demand imbalance is as tight as ever

Not saying of course Berkeley, but London is a building site of 2 bed 2 bath flats, just can't seeing them all being sold.

Certainly, the ideas get floated well before the policy comes out.
So that date is [perhaps] an end-point; perhaps we will see 'floating/testing ideas' between here and there?

remember phoenix most measures are always speculated upon and leaked well in advance of their announcement.

Believe something has to give when builders like Berkeley are pulling back from development precisely because of it. People have always squealed about Stamp Duty before, but developers have never "downed tools" like they are now, and London has a very serious problem if it is unable to add 50,000 homes a year for at least the next decade

Answering one of my own questions earlier, re: when is the next pre-budget Autumn Statement? [and will SDLT be amended]

'Chancellor Phillip Hammond announced he would deliver his first Autumn Statement on 23 November. It will reveal the government's taxation and spending plans as well as its assessment of the UK economy in the wake of Brexit.'

And another quote, this time from the Telegraph's morning e-mail round-up 'City Briefing'.
---------------------------------

'BEST OF THE BROKER NOTES
"Of all the five housebuilders to report, detailed results have all concluded that trading has remained remarkably stable in the weeks since the EU referendum"

Charlie Campbell, of Liberum, comments on Barratt Developments full-year results.'

From today's Telegraph:

'Many of the fears of the impact of the Brexit vote on the housing market have subsided, as confidence returns after a short post-referendum dip.

The residential market survey by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors reported that house prices in both the short and long terms would rise, for the first time since April, but London is expected to experience little change.

A major problem is the lack of properties for sale on the market, and that continues to boost house prices: the level of new homes on the market slipped again, though less steeply than last month. The level of buyer demand fell too, as did the number of homes sold. But those polled appeared confident that the number of homes that are expected to sell in the next three months will rise.

Inquiries from buy-to-let investors were reported to be low, with a net balance of 57pc more respondents citing a decline than a rise. Respondents also said that they believed landlords were more likely to decrease rather than increase their portfolios in the next 12 months.

Stamp duty was cited by many of those surveyed as being one of the main problems for a sluggish market, particularly at the top end in homes worth over £1 million. Jeremy Priestley, an estate agent with Berkeleys in Poole, Dorset, said: "Stamp duty, not Brexit, is the principal decelerator."' [continues]

But volatility of the shares is a little inexplicable given over 36% of share price covered by forward cash, and over 50% of whole market cap covered by cash falling due within two and a half years ... but I guess it takes all sorts ... but then what's one man's pain is another man's pleasure ...

Yes BKG's share price is not £35 any more but the dividend is extremely attractive.

^+1, the government have created an entirely self-defeating policy with current SDLT.

People move less = less job mobility = less dynamic economy.
Entry costs higher = less foreign investors [new developments are often pre-funded by off-plan sales, often largely sold to foreign investors].
= less new build = less supply of affordable housing.
Which in total = people move less, prices get squeezed higher than they otherwise would, and those who might get a look-in on affordable housing find much reduced supply.

Brexit has also made foreign investors nervy. So... here we are re: the likes of BKGs current share price.

The trouble with Stamp Duty though is that George Osborne's scheme was designed to be self funding - using higher end tax rises to subsides cuts at the lower end of the property market. So I guess conceptually thats difficult for the Treasury to get its head round.

But from a perspective of what's good for the economy, London, one of the biggest cities in the world, needs at least 50,000 new homes a year to meet demand. And it will only get that if developers are incentivised to build.

At the moment BKG, one of the largest London developers, is quite clearly not incentivised and is cutting deliverable capacity. And that is not good, and will only mean a large shortfall in supply, and squeezing up prices of modest family homes - achieving the exact opposite of what the Government wanted.

Good find jrp. Feel that we should also be getting a reduction on the excess stamp
duty.They will be lobbied to at least reduce the additional 3% that George Osborne recently put on for second/holiday homes,or he may even leave this alone and reduce the base stamp duty.

Caught my eye this morning...

'Viewings of homes in London’s wealthiest areas have shot up almost 50 per cent since the EU referendum as buyers hunt for Brexit bargains in exclusive districts. Price falls in areas such as Chelsea and Knightsbridge have combined with the post-referendum drop in sterling to draw buyers back into the market, figures from estate agents Knight Frank show. – Financial Times

They were no more than inline results from BDEV - however the encouraging thing is that net private reservation rate is up year-on-year from July 1st, again showing no negative Brexit effect
