why is it that TW appears to get the brunt of people's frustrations the UK
housing market?, it's just one of multiple sector listed stocks.

If Boris and Rishi want lower house prices, they won't extent the Help to Buy program.

Simple!

It's a bloody accident waiting to happen anyway.

[martyn9] 07/8/2020 12:09

Sikh, are you actually invested with TW?

[doyden] 07/8/2020 11:56

In which case they will just extended it again. By the way, it wasn't Davius who mentioned the help to buy extension, it was me.

[sikhthetech] 07/8/2020 11:46

Doyden,

The Help to buy extension you refer to is only a 2 month extension to help those who were caught up because of the lockdowwn.

The Help to Buy scheme ends in 2023 and there are no plans to extend it..

"Separately, the government’s new Help to Buy scheme, which will replace the current scheme, will come into place from 1 April 2021 and run until March 2023 as planned and there are no plans for further extensions."






If HBs and BoE say it'll be 1-2 yrs before we're back to pre-covid levels then there'll only be a few months of the H2B scheme left.

"Times like these offer life changing opportunities"

Absolutely. Everyone will have their own risk/reward and their own views on what is a good buy in price, when major risks are factored into the price..

The placing was at 145p and yet we're at a significant discount to the placing price.
Why aren't those who missed out in the placing buying in huge amounts?

> Just wait till rates double overnight to protect the pound.

I only look in from time to time and don't post much, but that one gave me a laugh and brightened my day.

The fear of it, interest rates rising from 0.1% to 0.2%, and the catastrophe that would be on the housing market :0)

[doyden] 07/8/2020 11:38

Oh really? That's not what it says here - https://www.gov.uk/government/news/help-to-buy-scheme-extendedThe current help to buy scheme has been extended until Feb 2021 and then a new scheme is being introduced to run until 2023.Plenty of scope for housebuilders for another couple of years at least then.

Although I think TW does offer a fair price, and it may still fall further, my comment was really expressing that most on here are way more fortunate than most. The current market as a whole offers a good oppptunity and I have had regrets at not being invested early enough in similar market turmoil. If you are lucky enough to be into a share that quadrupels over a relatively short time period, like 5 years, it can be totally life changing. An event that most people never even contemplate being a part of. Whether your veiw is long or short term, whether you do both either for investment or some degree for the fun of it, just being here probably means that you are more fortunate than otheres. Good luck to all.

The pound seems to be doing just fine even with increasing talk of negative interest rates. I read yesterday that it is believed rates may stay at 0.1% or lower for the next five years.Oh and just to add to the mix, there is talk of abandoning the 2% inflation rate and instead targeting income growth. The government now has a massive debt problem with the money they've thrown around in the pandemic. They would be quite happy and have already accepted that a period of high inflation wouldn't be a problem.In a nutshell, the BoE would previously have increased interest rates to combat rising inflation, especially if it rose above 3% but based on news articles I've been reading, they aren't likely to rise any time soon.

An official statement from him??

[ftir1] 07/8/2020 11:23

martyn,

Rishi Sunak on tv

[sunshine today] 07/8/2020 11:21

Jugears.

You have lost the plot, simply because, in your lifetime houses have been a one way bet.

[jugears] 07/8/2020 11:17

sT I will be dead by then.

[sunshine today] 07/8/2020 11:11

Just wait till rates double overnight to protect the pound.

[martyn9] 07/8/2020 11:05

Ftir, where's your evidence to back that up??

[ftir1] 07/8/2020 10:48

On another topic, it sounds like Boris Johnson is not going to be extending the Help to Buy program.

House builders are stuffed for the foreseeable future.

[ftir1] 07/8/2020 10:34

If you "actually do" want to double your money, there are far better places to put your money than this pile of poo!

[1carus] 07/8/2020 10:26

For those of us that have money to invest either here or elsewhere, we should consider ourselves fortunate despite maybe looking at 'paper' losses over the last 8 months. Times like these offer life changing opportunities that many folk are not even aware of, with their monies simply being eroded in the bank or bland pension funds. The discussion on here is generally fun, but it is clear that some people have a much longer term view than others and hence people have differing views. As someone who generally holds for the long term, my view, and its only my view, is there is a potential to double your money here over 5 years with both share price and dividend. I could be wrong - only time will tell. For some, that would be a poor return it seems... they should start running investment funds if they are confident that they can out perform that though.

You both need to pull your heads out of your backsides.

This will go well below £1.00
