Hi
A friend has asked for a bit of advice. He owns a BTL flat and because tenants never to seem to open windows, he is thinking of getting an airbrick installed in the kitchen. Are there any building regs that he should be aware of ?

Anyone here know please

Granted the MD is a plonker, but this share price is madness. Surely for a Co making money, paying a divi this is far to low and the price doesn't cease to stop falling!. Now valued at 2.5 million on a turnover of 8.6 million and profit last year of 500k (previously a bit higher, but a large write down last year), it seem very undervalued...unless i am just trying to convince myself as i jumped into this one!

Think the reputation of this share within the market is also a big problem, as 'the old in out' says. Also the MD owning just under 90% of the shares doesnt help its tradability...but we can take comfort that he must be rather unhappy about how much his holding is now worth!
Oh well, to posh twits crashing more cars!

BTL IS BIGGER THAN YOU THINK!
============

Concerns are growing that many amateur landlords have fraudulently used residential mortgages to fund their buy-to-let properties.

These so-called "disguised" buy-to-lets occur when landlords ? typically those with a handful of properties ? pose as owner-occupiers to obtain cheaper and more flexible residential mortgages on property they have little or no intention of living in.

The financial regulator has uncovered the practice following a recent downturn in the buy-to-let market. Stagnant or falling prices for some city centre apartments have led to a number of landlords trying to offload cut-price properties quickly at auctions. The Financial Services Authority (FSA) says analysis of properties sold at auction last year found that although many were commonly classed as owner-occupied by their sellers, 80 per cent were in areas where buy-to-let was prevalent, suggesting that many were ?disguised? buy-to-lets.

The FSA said that consumers abusing residential mortgages often did not understand the risks associated with the buy-to-let market and did not have alternative sources of finance to cover ?empty? periods when they were not receiving rental payments.

Landlords struggling to rent out their properties have also had to deal with a slowdown in price growth. The average price of a new flat increased by just 0.8 per cent between the second quarter of 2004 and the first quarter of 2006, according to the FSA, leaving many amateur landlords with poorly-performing investments. The FSA said the percentage of repossessed properties appearing at auctions had risen to 25 per cent in December 2006, up from just 8 per cent in February of last year. It believes this number could increase in coming months as higher interest rates bite.

Not wishing to sound too gloomy - btl appear to be drifting - there is no positive news and buyers will not be interested in a co.whose profits are reduced despite t/over being about the same.

xavico,

spread can be a lot smaller when you actually deal. Ask your broker. In spite of the problems btl have had this fy, I believe that they are very likely to recover
lost ground, at least to the 50p mark in the next two months. I am holding till then to see what happens. Good luck, but most of all DYOR.

geeforce,

The info I have is that the person behind the co is a bristol man who was a financial adviser and started btl because he couldn't get a like replacement hire for his nice car when he was in an accident. He has kept a large amount of the shares to himself making it a highly illiquid stock. The shares have plumeted since the admission and he has taken a hefty knock as have many others who invested. The market is limited and clearly the results have not been great although no doubt he has made himself a lot of money. But that is not enough to put off punters. If the company makes money and pays dividends then can not see why people would be put off.

Just had a guy on the phone from Wills & Co re this company. Anybody got any information on either BTL or Wills?

BTL or should that really be B2L? Buy to let is not as dangerous as Dotcoms because, of course, B2L is long term. Dotcom short termism applied to B2L, as a speculation, will probably have meant a hefty tax bill on both capital & income. Most B2L'ers are using the income as their (early) pension.

There's still property investment bargains out there, just like value investment bargains in the stock market, but you just have to do your research to find them. Flats above shops or ex local authority can still offer value as long as local amenity is good. Keep on trucking!
Cheers

Interesting news from BTL although I think they're just trying to play catch up. Their full year result being about half of ACE's interim figure and I don't think they can fairly claim to fix things without a significant investmnent in systems. There is no mention of the value of the software development.

BRISTOL & LONDON PLC

COMPANY-WIDE SOFTWARE IMPLEMENTATION

Bristol & London PLC ('Bristol & London'), the leading specialist supplier of
prestige-only cars to the credit hire industry, is in the process of
implementing software across its business that should transform fleet
utilisation and improve Bristol & London's leading positions further in cash
management and customer service.

The implementation of the system is scheduled for completion by the end of the
summer, 2005.

The software has been developed by DBS, a specialist in bespoke software
solutions for logistics businesses. The main focus of the investment has been to give Bristol & London the leading position in fleet utilisation. The scope of the abilities of the software is much wider, however, and will provide benefits to the business vertically from the initial order of a hire car, verification of non-fault, sales monitoring, fleet deployment and delivery - right through to its return to Bristol & London.

In addition to the strengthening of the finance function as a result of the
appointment of Lewis Ross in September 2004, our investment in systems is part
of Bristol & London's ongoing commitment to position itself at the forefront of
the credit hire industry through the provision of the best customer service and
continual improvement in prestige-only fleet utilisation. Bristol & London
believes that such investment is key to delivering increased shareholder value.
