Would be nice to have seen a bigger purchase but to be fair to him I don't think he earns a great deal. ONJohn has some bee in his bonnet - probably best to ignore every word he says.

Could have had them in the float for 2p cheaper. Or in a couple of months for 10p cheaper i suspect

Foxtons' share price bodes ill for the London property market

But since March, the share price has been falling. And by Monday this week, the share price had fallen to 261p – a 52-week low. The market cap had slid to £740m.

Foxtons' listing price was 230p, but the shares opened almost 20% above that when they began trading in August last year. In other words, they are back where they were on their first day's trading.

Here's the share price chart of the year to date. I've drawn two black tramlines around the current price action – the direction this one is heading in is fairly clear.

Foxtons share price

The trend is clearly down – and as am I forever saying about trends, they are powerful things that can go on for much longer than anyone expects (look at the US bond market).

Even at this level, Foxtons is hardly compellingly cheap. It's on a price/earnings ratio of 20. Now, for 2013, it saw strong growth on the previous year: revenue was up 16% on the year at £139m, while pre-tax profit was up 57% at £39m.


But 2013 was about as good as year as you will ever see in the London property market. Foxtons had a 22.5% jump in sales. So 2014 forecasts for £163m in revenue and £55m in profit might be too bullish.

A quick survey of Rightmove shows that transaction levels in London and the surrounding areas – where Foxtons mostly operates – have almost come to standstill. Whether it's down to tighter lending, excessive valuations, no more Russian buyers, or whatever reason you care to attach – property is no longer selling as it was six months ago.

It doesn't make that much difference to Foxtons whether a house sells at £1m or £900,000. The important thing is that it sells. So the biggest threat to Foxtons isn't falling house prices – it is falling volumes. Turnover is more important than price. But the turnover has vanished – and that is what this falling share price trend is all about.

And encapsulated in Foxtons' price is everything you need to know about London property. When London is in a bull market, it's good for Foxtons. But when London turns – this is what happens.

Simon...I did not raise the question but if I am not mistaken brokers usually take a few months before issuing research notes on new entrants to the market.

I see RMV came out with decent results today...I am sure OnJohn will have something to say about them lol

Lloyds wanted to sell the entire the full kabodle that they still hold i suspect but nobody wanted it. A failed float and a big overhang i suspect

Each of Lloyds Development Capital (Holdings) Limited and LDC Parallel (Nominees) Limited, holding, in aggregate 47 per cent. of the Existing Ordinary Shares and 19.9 per cent. of the Enlarged Share Capital, have 6 month lockin only!!!!


SIX MONTH LOCK IN ONLY

You may not want to bring this up at any London dinner parties, but there are tentative signs that the bubble in U.K. housing prices that's helped boost the economic recovery by underpinning consumer confidence may be running out of puff. Given the British obsession with home ownership, any evidence of real-estate deflation will complicate the Bank of England's efforts to nudge borrowing costs higher.

July marked the first month of no growth in London house prices since December 2012, according to figures last week from research company Hometrack Ltd. A different gauge showed the slowest pace of London gains in 15 months in June, according to the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors.

And today, Lloyds Banking Group's mortgage-lending unit reported that only five percent of people say the coming year is a good time to buy a home, a 29-point drop in just three months.



Are profits also linked to prices as well as volumes. Yes. thats another problem

Got a hot shot as Head of Sales (age 30):



Alan's sales career started as a Telesales Consultant with a top ten UK mortgage lender, where he was quickly promoted and became the company's youngest Business Development Manager at the age of 22. In this role he became the top selling Business Development Manager out of a sales team of 42. Alan then joined ULS Group in 2009 as a National Account Manager and in 2012 he was promoted to Head Of Sales, where he is now responsible for all sales across the ULS Group. Alan was shortlisted at the 2013 British Mortgage Awards in the Young Achiever category and won the award in 2014.

Just a bit of fantasy conjecture....

If mortgage approvals average c.60K until next March and the company performs like April and May for the following 10 months:

2014: PBT = £2.341m + 162K interest payments = £2.5m

In April and May y/e 2015 PBT has increased by 70% compared to the same months in y/e 2014.

£2.5m x 70% = £4.25m, minus 20% tax = £3.4m, divided by 64.7m shares = 5.25p.

42.25p divided by 5.25p = 8x.

*Edit - that conjecture doesn't take into consideration IPO fees.

Nurdin,

When you spoke with Numis did they mention when a broker note will be issued?

Doesn't look like ULS have hired Edison.

Welcome on board nurdin - I think this is a pretty good one. There isn't a stock on the market that you can't pick a hole in. I think Simon Gordon has made some valid points and there is a lot of good info on this thread already.

Nurdin,

It's all in the Admission Document on their website.

As for your question:

Nigel Houth went from 45.6% to 27.23%

Lloyds Development went from 46.99% to 19.95%

One other director sold 1%.

That's it.
