I'm still wincing at the thought!

I need a good day on the market to clear my mind :)

[5bag] 30/5/2014 09:54

I always have a fire extinguisher handy. :-)

[gbh2] 30/5/2014 09:44

5bag, I don't have the same masochistic tendencies as you appear to have, nor am I keen on chart trending, however I am willing to wait until after the dividend is paid before making a decision as to whether I can make more elsewhere.

PS Don't get too close to the BBQ or your preference may be granted ;)

Help to Buy means more homes - Taylor Wimpey

New figures released by the government today reveal that there have been 27,861 sales through the Help to Buy scheme - 20,548 through the equity loan version for new build and 7,313 under the mortgage guarantee.

85% of the the sales are to first time buyers with the average price of a home sold under the equity loan scheme being £204,805 and £151,597 under the mortgage guarantee version.

More than 94% of Help to Buy completions are outside London although the south east is the highest region for Help to Buy equity loan, the north west for mortgage guarantee.

Prime minister David Cameron, visiting a Taylor Wimpey site in Ilkeston, said: "Help to Buy is an important part of our long term plan to back those who want to get on and to secure a better future for Britain."

Taylor Wimpey ceo Pete Redfern added: "Help to Buy equity loan enables us to build more homes on the sites we have already got open and has given us more confidence to invest in future sites and infrastructure which creates more jobs and economic activity locally."

Some good burn creams around these days ;-)

5bag, I like the sector but I'm fast running out of reasons to hang on to shares that are going nowhere fast.

I've been in and out a few times this last three years so another spell out may be on the cards if the only interest is a HFs two step for the next six months.

gbh2, keep an eye on the sector data IMO. If outlook remains rosy for next 24 months, as it could be (it won't dry up outside of London anytime soon, HTB extended to 2020 will help) income funds will be all over this one like a rash. They've aimed for returning £200m to shareholders next year. That's a fair old target. Next related co to report is BWY, IMS on 5th June. This is going to run a fair bit IMO. Until at least Q4. Interest rate rise maybe Q1/15 but only tiny, and very slowly, will make next to SFA difference to potential homebuyers. All IMO. DYOR etc and GL.

imo lots will sell and return for the 2015 special dividend, that said I thought we'd see more buying for the one that's imminent!

[speedsgh] 29/5/2014 16:45

Not sure this yr's special div is big enough to get people buying in especially for it. Next yr (6.16p) is a different kettle of fish mind.

[5bag] 29/5/2014 16:23

14002, a good run up to year end, with bigger dividends next year.

[montyville2] 29/5/2014 14:44

1.54p per share

[gbh2] 29/5/2014 14:43

1.54p per share, I had expected a buy in running up the the 6th but it's not transpired yet, question is, what's left to keep folk holding once we pass the record date??

[westdean] 29/5/2014 14:39

How much is special divi worth? Is it a sizeable amount?

[thegameofmoney] 29/5/2014 13:43

Ah ok thanks

[bluerunner] 29/5/2014 13:10

6th June is the qualifying date for the special dividend.

[lostuser] 29/5/2014 13:10

The special dividend will be paid on 3 July 2014 to shareholders on the register at close of business on 6 June 2014.

[thegameofmoney] 29/5/2014 13:04

gbh2 what is on the 6th June?

[scrabble1975] 29/5/2014 12:43

Talk of baby step interest rises. Personally, I wouldn't be surprised if they don't come earlier than Carney has suggested/stated. He did a similar thing back over in Canada.

[gbh2] 29/5/2014 12:27

Going to be interesting after 6th of June deadline!!

[lostuser] 28/5/2014 18:53

I'm sure I read that the special divi can only be cash

Edit:

"Shareholders approved the payment of a final dividend for 2013 of 0.47 pence per share.

The final dividend will be paid on 21 May 2014 to shareholders on the register at close of business on 11 April 2014.

The Board has also announced the payment of a special dividend for 2014 of 1.54 pence per share.

The special dividend will be paid on 3 July 2014 to shareholders on the register at close of business on 6 June 2014.

The Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRIP) is not available on special dividends.

Will next weeks divi be paid as normal meaning if you normally have the reinvestment to shares will this still apply or will it be paid in cash. Only reason I ask is because this is a special divi. Does this also apply to next years specials
