sikh,
I apologize - I misread the date. |
“ more cheaply “ Thicko. |
Agreed and with divi dropping next Friday we get to buy more cheaper. |
But their aren't many consequences if your a private home buyer, buying a house to live in? unfortunately the markets get spooked by a puff of wind these days, nothing more than great buying opportunity IMEO. |
JAF,
My post from yesterday was when share price was rising, lol
As gullible investors didn't understand the consequences of the budget.
The budget is great for the NHS (and TLY) but not for housing market and HBs. |
Sicktit has copied & pasted the same post on all hb's BB's, meanwhile the hb's carry on building & selling houses lol most 2nd home owners buy an old terraced house or a cottage by the sea, why would anyone buy a new build for A. a second home or B. a property to let out (unless you are paying cash in the first place) as you would never cover the repayment cost from rents if you had a mortgage. |
Share price drops, sikhthetech posts.
You could almost set your clock by it. |
Budget.
CGT up. Not good for investors.
Significant rise in Stamp duty on 2nd homes from 2% to 5%.
No replacement for "help to buy". No significant help for FTBs.
Budget not good for b2l/2nd property owners. |
I agree, it’s crazy. The company I work for has a share scheme, but I’m definitely a “working person”. When I retire, hopefully in few years, all my income will come from shares, by way of a defined contribution pension scheme (no gold plated final salary scheme unfortunately). I may not be working any more, but everything I have will be the proceeds of decades of work and saving. |
"Starmer pressed of whether his definition of a “working person” includes those who earn part or all of their income from property or shares.
Mr Starmer said: “Well, they wouldn’t come within my definition.” END
I thought company staff who are part of a share save scheme are defined as 'Working People'
The PM should make his definition 'Working People' perfectly clear to his electorate. |

Lol, just lol! |
Sure, there are plenty of empty houses in places where there are no jobs and no-one wants to live. The housing shortage is where houses are in demand. |
Target the current issues around empty homes, buy to let, Air BnB oversupply and this will go a long way to resolving housing issues.
There won't be a need to build 1.5m new builds.
If empty properties are brought back into use then this would go a long way to solve housing issues.
The govn wouldn't need to build hundreds of thousands of new builds.
Tackle buy to let, as evidenced by landlords using platforms like Air BnB. Tackle empty homes.
Why are we building homes when so many are standing empty?
"There are just short of 700,000 empty and unfurnished homes in England, according to the most recent government figures, external. Of those, 261,471 are classed as “long-term empty,” meaning no-one has lived there for six months or more.
If all empty homes were brought back into use, the housing crisis would be solved at a stroke and, arguably, the government would not have to build 1.5m new homes." |

Budget looking like it might be daylight robbery,,,,, Last thing anyone will be doing is splashing out on a waste of money. IMO |
Mortgage rates are continuing to come down - best 5 year fixed mortgage rate is 3.74% (via First Nationwide).
Once we get through the budget, you'd expect these improved mortgage rates to really improve transaction volumes |
Inflation falls to 1.7%
Am I going to be correct yet again about a BoE base rate cut in Q4 2024?
"Beckers2008 - 19 Sep 2024 - 15:54:19 - 19085 of 19113
Remember my statement...
BoE base rate at 6%
Absolutely no chance.
Q3 2024 interest rate reduction?
Absolutely every chance.
I was correct yet again!
I expect the UK's next rate cut to come in Q4 2024 followed by four quarterly cuts in 2025 and one cut in 2026 resulting in a 3.5 per cent base rate by the middle of 2026.
Watch and learn trolls, you have lost the argument as I told you over a year ago.
Now when is the UK house price crash going to happen, lol, just lol!" |
Sikh,
I don't think I exactly said that, but if it makes you happy, then OK. |
Jaf1948,
It's good you and your mates value my input, especially as the newsflow has been as expected.
Inflation down to 1.7%, so should get another interest rate cut soon. As expected, rates were kept higher for longer and I wasn't expecting cuts until the summer.
However, the govn is planning huge tax rises. Tax rises will negate some or all decreases in interest rates.

Time 2 retire,
The company/sector newsflow has ALREADY been as predicted, hasn't it????.
The prediction was also that the BoE won't start to reduce interest rates until summer... My calendar says it's June!!!
Best to trade |
sikhthetech,
Why do you never post on the days PSN goes up ? |
Dunno bout the Halifax buyers in droves news. My agent says he’s just not seeing it. Tho probably dumping a rental while mortgage affordability is improving. Who on earth wants to bother upgrading to EPC C just to get shafted by whatever tax disincentive they are planning next ? |
@juliemara, it’s the last government that did it, the one of last few years. Suits Tories to keep social mobility down and protect the old money. |
THIS "government" has killed the Buy to Let concept! |
