Thanks. I think this is either going to rocket or fall off a cliff. Cup and handle is looking like a bit more of a mug now!

TW. shortly becomes a tightly focused, largely deleveraged, much more profitable unit.

It will be re-rated accordingly, shame this is taking so long but I guess some big players would prefer to see the proof before increasing their positions.

The housebuilders have hit the headlines recently following the positive results from the sector in the UK last week and the contrasting US data this week. Taylor Wimpey (LON:TW), Britain's second biggest house builder by value, said sales and prices continued to reassure, echoing comments from peers.

Pent-up demand for new housing has been subdued by the scarcity of affordable mortgages. Even so, the group's order book at the end of April has risen from 4,684 homes at the end of last year to 5,681.

Taylor Wimpey said it remains on track to hit its target of a double-digit operating margin in the UK next year and it has experienced further improvement in the margin on sales in its order book, due to greater emphasis on higher margin family homes rather than apartments.

In March, the group announced the sale of its North American and Canadian business to a group of private equity firms for $955 million £600 million, which subject to regulatory approval should be completed by the end of June.

Signs of recovery for housing industry after 25 per cent rise in number of new homes started

The housebuilding industry showed signs of recovering during the first quarter, with the number of new properties started jumping by more than a quarter.

By the end of march, work had started on 29,140 new homes - 26 per cent more than the previous quarter.

It marks the highest level of new-builds since the second quarter of 2008, according to the Department for Communities and Local Government.

Second half of the year poor for house sales and estate agents activity really slowing, rate prospect uncertain.

Taken my profit and may buy back in later in year

Good luck to all
