A positively toned update, earnings beat likelihood maybe gets pushed into the H1 2025 update. Lettings MSF L4Ls continued at 8% as they were in the interims. Sales MSF LFLs started to accelerate in H2. This stood out with regards to H1 trading.
"We have seen strong demand in January within our financial services business as customers continue to enjoy more affordable rates. The combination of a strong sales pipeline which has increased by 71% to £39.4m (2023: £23.1m) and current mortgage rates give us confidence in achieving a positive H1. "

Foxtons material beat and positive outlook tones for the year ahead. 2% on revenues, 6% or so on EBIT. Expect a similarly positive update at TPFG over the next couple of weeks I reckon. Probably helping push this back towards 450p
Eric
FOXT is now on 14x FY25 P/E
TPFG is on 11.6x, a 17% discount, which is quite hard to justify |
Also would expect an update from Foxtons tomorrow, which should also be quite positive given the noises their management team have been making over the past couple of months. That should be a bit of a read across

Mortgage Advice Bureau MAB1 update well received today around the health of the overall market as well. Would expect a positive update from TPFG over the next fortnight which I think will be well received.

I agree 100% now we need to see the price action close above 430 indicating outside market demand/support and heading towards 500 and beyond AGW. |
4 director buys at the end of the financial year is pretty significant. |
 Ready for the next leg up. 500p target IMV
Great story if they keep on with accretive acquisitions to drive chained earnings power every year fuelled by free cash flow. Extract the major synergies. Director buy cluster @400
Winkworth a sitting duck?

Guy Gittins, chief executive of Foxtons, echoed her comments, and painted a positive outlook for the property sector.
He said the estate agency chain’s under-offer sales pipeline is at its highest since the EU referendum in 2016.
I reflect a very similar positive outlook on on the year ahead, particularly when you look at the sales and lettings markets still recovering from what happened with the Covid shock and the budget of 2022 the market, we know for sure the sales market will be considerably better in 2025 than it was in 2024.
Each time we see even, even a small interest rate reduction brings with it a wave of new buyers being able to come back into the market. So we start at the start of this year with great momentum. We’ve seen our under offer sales pipeline – that’s the number of sales that we’ve placed into solicitors hands – the value and the volume of that pipeline is actually at its highest rate since the EU referendum. |
I cannot for the life of me understand why PFG did not step in and avoid all this publicity? Northwood is a PFG brand
A quote from a local newspaper covering this story, it has also been quoted on other sites:
The business behind a branch of estate agency Northwood in East London is reported to be going into liquidation after closing its office doors.
The Romford franchise has shut up shop and its website is redirecting customers to the Southend-on-Sea branch while its telephone number is going unanswered.
And local landlords claim they are owed rent payments, the Romford Recorder reports.
PAYMENTS STOPPED
Landlords tell the newspaper that their regular monthly payments have been delayed before they recently stopped altogether.
One property owner, who has used Northwood for 20 years, said the experience was “hell”. And another landlord said he had been left “in the lurch” by the closure of the branch.
“I was quite lucky that I’ve got a relationship with our tenants, so I’ve managed to sort something out with them,” he said.
“If there had been an issue with the property like a leak, they wouldn’t have anyone they could have contacted, because they shut their Romford office.”
RECOVERY PLAN
A spokesperson for Northwood head office told the Recorder that it is “supporting a recovery plan”, which will address any arrears owed to clients.
“While Northwood GB does not exercise day-to-day control over the conduct of its franchisees’ businesses, it deeply regrets the distress and inconvenience the company’s difficulties will have caused to those affected.
“At this early stage in the process, efforts are underway to contact landlord clients of the company, with the priority being to assist and support them in liaising directly with their tenants.” |

Today’s selloff by the mortgage director is not going to help. First, the CFO sells down and a new CFO with no AIM experience is appointed. Next, the CEO issues more and more options. Now, the mortgage director is selling off at 415p.
This lot is starting to worry me. |

Is TPFG affected by goings on at MAB1 and this FCA review? They did have some exposure via the mortgage advisors inherited from Belvoir. |
Thought it would drift but not all in one day. Think a few were panicked into selling when they saw profits evaporating after the recent run. The fundamentals are still there, so still a long term hold for me. Maybe just a tree-shake. |
I just bought a few more look like sells. |
Always thought this would drift after results, hopefully there should be resistance around the 450 mark. Lets hope they announce another aquisition soon. |
Still here, still happy. My limit buy before the results didn't work, didn't drop low enough or I would have a few more. |
Steady as she goes. A big position for me and quite happy with it. |
