Adding meat to the bones now as building up to the dividend, i agree jug we should see the share price floating around £2 by summer/autumn.
A special dividend to be discussed/announced towards the end of the year.

[jugears] 16/3/2021 09:21

Bare in mind that on that day the share price will fall at least as much as the dividend, but my gut feeling is that these are heading for £2 by the summer, best to tuck away for the long term or at least next years bumper special dividend. Sincerely hope the naysayers filled there boots last year when the market bottomed out, Apart from RR my holdings that I purchased in the crash are up over 80% on average.As expected, Its worth remembering that know matter what is thrown at the world it always recovers, it may take a year it may take 10 but it always recovers,Last year was one of those once in a life time opportunities to buy cheap shares & those that can see outside the box have seen very healthily rewarded.

On the ex dividend date actually.

[lostuser] 15/3/2021 12:36

You can do whatever you like with the shares after the record date. You can sell them all and you will still get the full dividend.

[khufu1] 15/3/2021 11:50

Jugears- can I ask for some advice. On the matter of dividend due shortly, when qualifying for dividend, is the calculation of one's holding depend on the number of shares shown on 6th April, even if I sell some shares later before dividend is paid?.
What I mean is if after 6th April I sell some shares 2 weeks after that date, do I get less divi? Many thanks.

Britain’s house price boom is not too big to fail

Government policies have kept values rising but cannot continue indefinitely



"This has left the housing market “too big to fail”, says the boss of one of the UK’s largest housebuilders, who fears government policy to encourage buyers is feeding an unsustainable bubble. There are concerns that, along with the stamp duty break, the decision to keep estate agents open through the lockdown has kept prices rising. That might lead to the government having to keep intervening to prevent consumer confidence and spending from collapsing along with property values. "

"Sunak’s promise of state guarantees of mortgages worth 95 per cent of a property on homes worth up to £600,000 is a bigger mistake. If banks are unwilling to finance buyers on those terms that should be a warning for the government to stay away. There is no evidence of market failure. If anything, the state’s role should be to discourage banks from lending to borrowers without sufficient buffers, given the potential damage to the wider system from defaults. "

Can I see 200p on the horizon? ;-)

[jugears] 10/3/2021 07:33

Gbh2, it certainly is, best year I have had investing & in business since the financial crisis. Apart from retail & leisure nearly every other industry is booming at the moment so not worried about mass job losses affecting the markets & stamp duty holiday ending will have no effect on sales due to the huge demand for new houses. Looking forward to my bumper special dividend next year.

[gbh2] 09/3/2021 18:20

Going to be an interesting & lucrative year Jugs, certainly my best since year 2000 :))

"measures to support the market including last week’s budget announcements,"

The budget last week was the event, where govn support like SDhol, furlough was kicked down the line, giving the property market a little bit of breathing time.

The share price when brexit was agreed was 176p, so not a lot has changed.



sikhthetech10 Jan '21 - 14:35 - 3153 of 3161 Edit
I think the catalyst, up or down, will be Stamp Duty hol, whether it is extended or not. Also, what happens to Furlough and any tax changes in the Budget.

I think we will see strong demand & house price growth right across the country as for london that market is finished,

[tlobs2] 09/3/2021 11:00

Property prices in Yorkshire and the north-west could rise by almost 30% over the next five years, more than double the rate of growth in London, a leading property firm has predicted.

Researchers at Savills had expected house prices to remain flat in 2021 across the UK, but measures to support the market including last week’s budget announcements, combined with the easing of lockdown measures, have led them to revisit their forecasts.

Lucian Cook, the head of residential research at Savills, said 2021 had been set to be “a complex and uneven year” for the housing market. “But the outlook has improved since the beginning of the year given the speed of the vaccination programme, the expected relaxation of social distancing measures and government support for both jobs and the housing market,” he said.

The company said it now expected prices to rise by an average of 4% across the country this year, and by 21.1% before the end of 2025. This would take the average cost of a home in the UK to £279,644.

Over the next five years the biggest increases are forecast to be in the north-west of England, where prices could go up by 28.8% to an average of £227,879, and in Yorkshire and Humberside, where Savills predicts a 28.2% rise, taking the average to £220,921.

Yes, it's all events. Except when it's not...🙄

Anyway, fwiw (not a lot) I'm even lighter here, as the gap has now been properly filled and I am seeing (today) some rotation into precious metals with treasury yields falling - possibly (only a guess) a swing out of the some of the economic-focused stocks into other areas like precious metals.

Not any sort of forecast, or advice, just what I think may play out. Because none of us know, really...

[jugears] 09/3/2021 09:10

nice to see these being manipulated back up because lets face it Tw's Sp has nothing to do with company or market performances & never has, unfortunately its looking very likely these will be £2 before divi day which is a shame really as I get less shares for my dividend but you cant have it all I suppose.not sure if this is rellevent but I have seen a substantial increase in new HB customers in recent months, my current lead time has increased to 12-16 weeks normally 4-6 weeks

Police have arrested a manic depressive found banging his head repeatedly against a wall whilst chanting, "I am right" "I am right" ;))

[cupra kid] 08/3/2021 15:31

A nice confirmation of breakout today. Good to see

[jugears] 07/3/2021 17:47

gbh2, unless they double production soon then they will continue to rise, supply is definitely not coming anywhere near to meeting demand.

[gbh2] 07/3/2021 12:41

House prices are to reach record highs this year :))

[sikhthetech] 06/3/2021 15:57

Backs up my view in #3518 about guaranteed 95% mortgages announced in the budget.


Negative equity risk
Wilson continued: “The inability to get a mortgage because of unemployment will once again fuel a slowdown in demand. Simple economics means that lower demand would further reduce prices. The 95 per cent borrowers would be most at risk of negative equity.”
