Higher lows for the last month, gagging to breakout by the looks of it.

[nurdin] 10/7/2009 08:31

Yes looking quite strong today

[sportbilly1976] 10/7/2009 08:24

A nice chart ;-)

next proper resistance once it breaks is around the 225-230 level. Added to monitor.

Lots of builders sounding more upbeat and things better than expected.

Results in a month and directors buying heavily.

This is better - if mortgages are on the increase but remortgages are falling that means that new mortgages for house purchases are rising even more sharply:



The number of mortgages approved for house purchase rose to a 13-month high in May as buyers continued to return to the property market.

A total of 31,162 loans were approved for people buying a property during the month, 7% more than in April, the British Bankers' Association said.

The figure was also 16% higher than it had been in May 2008, the first time the annual measure has shown an increase since November 2006.

But the ongoing weakness in the remortgage market dragged down the overall lending figures, with total advances of £7.7 billion the lowest since February 2001.

Net lending, which strips out redemptions and repayments, also fell for the third month in a row to £2.3 billion, a level last seen in early 2001, when the average mortgage taken out for house purchase was just £74,400, compared with £133,600 in May.

The number of loans arranged by people remortgaging fell further during May to a near-nine-and-a-half-year low of just 24,847, 60% below levels seen 12 months ago.

But despite falling for the fifth consecutive month, the BBA said loans for remortgaging and those for other purposes, such as equity release or buy-to-let, appeared to be stabilising at their current low level.

BBA statistics director David Dooks said: "Steady monthly increases since last November have seen the number of loans approved for house purchase recover to levels seen in early 2008, although gross and net mortgage lending show a subdued wider mortgage picture.

"However, unlike much of the mortgage market, the high street banks are still seeing lending growth and improved mortgage availability is reflected in higher average loan approval values."

UK mortgages increase in May to 31,162, compared with 29,018 in April, well ahead of expectations:

Read the Taylor Wimpey statement today?


"Despite some regional variations, we have seen continued stability in the UK
housing market since we reported our full year results on 30 April. Our net
private reservation rate remains at around 0.6 per site per week, with prices
broadly flat and cancellation rates below the long run average. Whilst mortgage
valuations and availability are still issues, there are signs that the situation
is beginning to improve. We do, however, expect to see the normal seasonal
slowdown over the summer months."

Must be a positive for LSL, RMV and the like imo.

Good buying this afternoon.

Another director buy just announced :-)

Saw this from the Cristie Group too today:

""There are early signs of some pick-up in the residential property market.
Activity in the market for smaller property based businesses normally follows
subject to an approximate six month delay."

You may be right. Retreat was not overly dramatic.

[cockneyrebel] 16/6/2009 10:34

Dunno but someone's just bought 150K @ 148p - I wonder if the CEO is buyin again?


I think what you're probably missing 40KJ is the fact that the reduced overheads mean that future sales fall far more to the bottom line. And when we het to September and we are comparing this year versus the last year when Lehmans was collapsing then the comparisons will be a lot better imo.

Seems to me that however much optimism there is, news can only be so good relative to 07 and 08 trading. Therefore, I sold 26000 on 12/6/09 at 150+. Can anybody tell me why my trades don't reflect in ADVFN data. Data for 12/6/09 shows 24000 bought and 6000 sold. Meaningless when I know I sold 26000.

Since 27th April, Embley has bought 650k shares spending best part of £750k and yet, reading back through the thread, very few posters can see any underlying value in the shares and many have been shorters including the esteemed EK :-)

This guy is obviously either very rash with his hard earned or clearly knows something ....

Must be worth a punt so I followed him in with a few myself.....

[cockneyrebel] 12/6/2009 11:14

CEO buys 250K (£50K worth) just 8 weeks before the results - a lucky punt ah?

CR

Major breakout on the chart - through last April's high.

CEO has just bought another 250K :-)
