Ian Wilson certainly thinks so....

Despite changes to the tax treatment of buy-to-let investors we remain very positive about prospects for the private rentend sector as the fundamental drivers all remain in place. We have a strong balance sheet, five great property brands and an experienced management team leaving us well placed to EXCEED our strong performance in 2015.

Albanyvillas, that's not the picture i'm seeing with more and more needing to rent..
Spooky the market didn't expect them to achieve those forecasts given the 30% slide in share price. Should move up from here imv.

Fabulous set of results involved. Revenue up 38% profits up 42% and dividends up 40%. Rosy outlook with more to come from legal services tie up with L&G. :))

Can't complain about expected EPS growth here...pedestrian??

[battlebus2] 04/4/2016 15:43

I even went to the trouble of liking it :)) Had these on my weekly results watchlist along with hostel world so plumped for both....

[glasshalfull] 04/4/2016 15:38

LOL Battlebus. Wondered if you had observed my tweet...and see that you have ;-)

Picked up some earlier today as a read across from peerBVR (Belvoir) which was +16% earlier today on a decent set of results.

My thanks to the excellent AIM prospector for flagging back in November 2015 & also for reminding me of the prospects earlier today.

I agree bamboo and have been nibbling a few, looking forward to results.

Looking somewhat oversold.

[pyemckay] 04/11/2015 13:30

fallout from property sector falls. Nothing to worry about imo. its very lightly traded also. no volume behind the move down.

[nigthepig] 04/11/2015 13:27

Chrisfillyour boots - what's happened here then?

If PurpleBricks is being valued at £250m next month and easyProperty at £75m then MCO should be worth at least £60m or 300p per share.
