Bearing in mind there apparently is no actual shortage of property in the UK... When this is over who's gonna buy all these highly priced and not exactly generously sized new houses and flats?

Interim Dividend cancelled. All sites closed. No further financial Guidance possible at this stage

[andybristol] 24/3/2020 12:04

Which site? Is it official yet?

[death by donut] 24/3/2020 11:26

Think bdev are doing same , just not official yet. We all turned round and left site this morning after being informed it was shutting.DYOR of course

careful. Everyone lives somewhere. Population has been expanding quicker than properties built for decades. That's my investment case in a nutshell and with or without CV people will be living in homes, be they private or rented, homes are needed.

Taylor Wimpey have now suspended payment of all dividends, and closed all sites. I wonder what will happen with BDEV.

Difficult to imagine property prices will hold.
Buy to let will collapse, no confidence, high unemployment.

This crazy love affair with property will be over.

yes, bloody monday for all those that bought into the suckers rally today, builers/oilers/CCl et al.

[arja] 20/3/2020 20:47

35 p I think I remember

[taffee] 20/3/2020 06:03

Less shares were in issue then as there was a fund raising I think

[kulvinder] 19/3/2020 22:00

If I remember right I think it was even lower than 90p Porche, I think it was nearer 50p.....

kickingking ,
good point sport and builders hammered again today . IG markets have increases their
margins a lot and will not allow shorting in some stocks which is a pain ! but sadly shorting is the only game in town and especially after some stocks rocketed yesterday as not sustainable .

These went down to .90 in the last recession. All this stuff about housing shortage, im not sure there is and with the brexit fiasco huge number of europeans have left and are leaving uk. melt down housing sector, same old in uk, every ten years. House prices will halve.

[rwlly] 16/3/2020 11:59

Yes we need lots of houses but somewhere along the line, the word AFFORDABLE has been left out of the eqasion.

[smurfy2001] 16/3/2020 11:55

Think i'd be tempted below a 150p housing shares are really lagging in terms of weakness.

[rwlly] 16/3/2020 11:54

The problem we have got is that the majority of people think the stock market and the property market, is a one way ticket to make money. but I am afraid that anybody heavily invested in builders, with a very large mortgage is in big trouble.

[spcecks] 16/3/2020 11:41

The UK needs houses desperately so these will bounce back as BDEV are a good run company.

[kickingking] 16/3/2020 11:33

When a lot people start losing their jobs, there won't be many people buying houses. This will cause house prices to come down and less profits for housebuilders.

[arja] 16/3/2020 11:18

who said that no no stock goes down in a straight line and normally they do NOT !
the dow and nasdaq will probably tank on opening offering no support to the UK market .
