[andrewkelly] 24/10/2016 11:28

As was expected BWY - Bellway Results good as expected,
Nothing to change next several yrs till housing shortage full filled

[taffee] 18/10/2016 11:09

the reason the shareprice is falling is because the property market is a speculative bubble fuelled by props and nzirp etc.....there is no shortage of property its just in the wrong hands...at any one time there is a shortage of supply( also effect of props forebearance nzirp etc) but that is changing from what I hear...its a mega bubble and its bursting albeit slowing so far!



Average wages for self-employed workers are lower than in 1994-95, researchers say.

The Resolution Foundation said that while the UK's self-employed workforce had grown by 45% since 2001-02, their weekly earnings had fallen by £60.

It blamed the rise of lower paid jobs and the financial crisis, which had reduced pay rates.

RCS - Royal chartered institute of surveyors said first time in 7 month interest has increased - comment made on Bloomberg this morning

[lauders] 13/10/2016 02:32

My opinion, probably totally wrong, is that the market is quite strong at the moment and people have better opportunities to make "fast money" on more speculative companies for the time being. Hence money is going to those places while it can. When/if things turn perhaps the "safer" larger and dividend paying companies like BDEV will come back into favour?

As I say could be a load of rubbish but that is my opinion for what it is worth.

[robbiereliable] 12/10/2016 17:25

Anyone know what's going on with BDEV? Took the opportunity to top up on the initial dip, dividend soon... Why is it going down?

All House builders have had very positive strong results,
With the shortage of houses and the Governments £2 billion plan
All bodes well, but the market is at all times high

Belway will come out with good results me thinks and ofcourse 24.7 dividend

[lauders] 07/10/2016 16:59

Don't you get that back in dividends/capital return nowadays NKSharpe? Seems a good investment to me and one that should keep giving.

[nksharpe] 07/10/2016 16:56

I paid 40p for these and just kept them, over 600p at one time. No worries for the long term I think

More houses built should eventually lead to lower prices, therefor lower margins.

[the_equaliser] 07/10/2016 15:29

Just sentiment,
Moving between sectors
Ftse is top heavy
Wouldnt be surprised if an insti cashing in aswel

next rise will be towards BWY 6 month figures 18/10

No bad news at all if you do research
