yesterdays press
some of these foreign buyers are not only sitting
on big gains, but the strength of the £ could add on
15% currency gains over last twelve months alone,
making it tempting to sell up, and more expensive to buy
£ x 15.19% x rouble
£ x 16.77% x nz$ etc etc

would like to see CGT due on BTL,s paid at time of sale

- Savills has booked an H1 pretax profit of £26.4m, from £24.7m. Revenue was £547.0m, from £430.8m. Interim dividend was up 7% to 4p a share. "The Board remains confident in its expectations for the full year," it said.

CEO Jeremy Helsby said:

"Savills has delivered a strong first half performance as a result of the contribution from Savills Studley in the US and the strength of our existing businesses in key transactional markets of the UK and Asia.

"Our performance in these markets mitigated the effect of the pre-election slowdown in the UK Residential market, where, lately, we have seen activity levels starting to improve.

"In line with our US growth strategy, we have continued to build on the Savills Studley platform in the US with three bolt-on acquisitions and recruitment across the country.

"In addition we have bolstered our rural business in the UK through the acquisition of Smiths Gore and look forward to the near term completion of the acquisition of SEB Asset Management AG.

"Looking to the second half, we currently see no significant change in the overall outlook for our business. Our core markets continue to be highly demand-driven as a result of the continued substantial capital allocation to real estate around the world.

"Furthermore, in many markets we are now seeing rental growth and increased occupier confidence. Savills is well placed to act on the opportunities arising from occupier and investor demand globally."

10/Jan.Sat Times,builders & estate agents come crashing down,as analysts buy
recommendations are torn up, due to the unexpected nov drop in construction
just 10days ago we were told to pile in?

the big city sell, in the short term, still seems in full swing, the problem is
the affordability of rents for tenants,
which investors risk taking a hit on, but they need capitol appreciation to
hold up over the next decade
if there is wage deflation in retail, there is wage inflation in construction
the last time mortgage rates were this cheap, was july 06 when prices
started a decline, its only two short yrs since the green shoots appeared
the last cycle similar to current situation was 72/74 when prices jumped 35%
a cycle with a short term big spike seems risky/flawed,

wandsworth house prices up by 35%in a year, so how can you have a near zero
inflation rate, this spike has given me a chance cash in/ downsize, before
the euro mess comes to a head, and far east cash now cherry picking europe's
best props,as Louvre Hotel group

15/4 regional papers in UK of which e/agents are main source of income, have
suddenly changed their tune, from ramping prices to "worrying upward pressure
on house prices" is'nt that HPI? what is the point of using pension cash to buy a BTL
with a 5% rent return if prices possibly drop by up to 26.1% over next five yrs

I see Standard Life have just topped up their holding with a couple of hundred thousand shares; probably helped today's move upwards.
