I suspect the current reaction is due to Boris putting a damper on a quick return to work.

Recent purchases paid off well this morning, share price still 40p below my holding average but at least I now have some free cash :)

The punters on here haven't got a clue.

Lots more trouble to come.

SELL

craftyale .
you must be joking think that small punters are making the market for you to
profit from ! have you heard of algorythmic trading used by institutions ?

Building sites to say open till late and at the weekends

I'd also like to pass my thanks onto all the naysayers, without you I wouldn't have the opposite side to my trades. It's a market and you make it. Rather than spend my time or energy trying to convince you that the sky is blue........I 'accept' your view and give thanks. Also on an anonymous board you may just be playing the weak.......snapping up cheap shares sold on the back of projected fear. Unethical perhaps but effective.

Looking forward to another good week. From April 1st of £1, perhaps a 60% gain by May 1st. Not a bad return in a month for any share price. Redrow updated this morning.

Will also need removal firms - hard for them to work singly.

Not just viewing homes but also conveyancing, maintenance etc.. need solicitors and surveyors..


gb, I expect there were sales which were due to be completed as the lockdown was announced.

It's early days and the true impact of the lockdown will not be known for a while.

Clarky - interesting observation. Clearly B&Q not covering themselves in glory. If government are not careful, or perhaps not clear enough in guidance, they will be overtaken by events. Some of the guidance to police has made their jobs more difficult. If, as you say, people are starting to breakout of lockdown, this will just set us back months. It is a hell of a drag with the restrictions but we have to be patient. Problem is government has refused to discuss exit strategy. Perhaps because they foresaw people jumping the gun. On the other hand, if we knew rational for next stage, perhaps we would hold off going out a bit longer.

Many buy off plan so that cash will have continued flowing.

I would imagine viewing a new house would be difficult. After all it’s a standard house that has had possibly hundreds of people visiting. Don’t touch any door handles, don’t open any cupboards, don’t touch any fittings etc.

[m4rtinu] 24/4/2020 16:32

Going to visit show home might be classed as non-essential travel. Especially if not local. Though B&Q could easily be thought as such, too. Also, actually moving house was restricted initially to special circumstances. Not sure what current thinking on that is. Just depends what new guidance, if any, government are prepared to issue. And when. At least TW are thinking ahead.

[m4rtinu] 24/4/2020 16:32

Oops. Double post.

[tlobs2] 24/4/2020 16:30

They have been selling the houses online it would appear.The update was far better than I thought it was going to be. Very upbeat and just what was needed.Perhaps the UK media can learn from this. Miserable gets.

[doyden] 24/4/2020 16:08

I note from the trading update the other day that TW are only restarting building but not opening sales centres/show homes. Surely if the likes of B&Q can reopen, they could make viewing of show homes by appointment only, have tape in sales centres etc to enforce social distancing. I'm sure there would be many safe ways to allow potential customers to continue to view and buy houses without putting the customer or sales staff at risk.It's good to see that they've still been managing sales even with sites closed though. Dividends could return more quickly than we think.

[jugears] 24/4/2020 16:02

Oh look Tw is nearer to £1.70 than £1' funny that isn't it !

[craftyale] 24/4/2020 13:49

No pullback here. 230 from the brokers note seems nice however Liberum have had some unusual stances on a few companies I've followed in the past....when they get it wrong they seem to hang onto their opposing view. A stopped clock is at least correct twice a day.

[arja] 24/4/2020 09:08

inevitable pullback on profit taking and not helped by falling US markets after UK close yesterday .But i think the building stocks will keep edging up in a short term uptrend and might just be the friday blues today .

[mikepotash] 24/4/2020 09:04

Don't forget that the employer also get rebated on the Erni and pension contributions, so saving is approx10% greater.

[milliecusto] 24/4/2020 08:50

Looks like a good day, agree will see 170p short term

[sharetalk] 24/4/2020 08:39

Housebuilders will bounce back strongly.
