House builders cheapest sector in the market. Wimpy and Crest Nicholson the best value.

Its my understanding that that's how the HFs make their money, sell it down all day and then buy back a chunk at the close.

My hope is the day traders have sold out today and that tomorrow we may get a more balanced buy/sell ratio, preferably n favour of a climb back.

[tiger20] 07/7/2014 17:07

Two large buys at the end of the day both in excess of £0.5m

May give a more positive start tomorrow

Bovis /Galliford Try/BDEV all give reports this week

BBC website - local authorities in England and Wales are calling for measures to build half a million affordable new homes before the end of the decade.IMHO these small dips in the share price will be barely noticeable in the coming months and years. That goes for most house builders.

All a bit lacklustre today. Trading update is good though.

[gbh2] 07/7/2014 10:51

Institutions have no incentive to drive price up at atm and as there's very little PI pressure the HFs can drive it down as far as they wish,

lambing season over, one depressed taffee

[stew roc] 07/7/2014 09:17

You don't need to tell me. I lost my business because of the recession and yes they should have taken measures 6 years ago but hindsight is a great thing. 99 people out of a 100 probably bought into the housing boom without questioning the risks so really no one seen the crash coming. At least now the government and banks etc are taking measures to prevent it happening again. It might be 6 years later but better late than never and that's coming from someone who was badly affected by the recession.I'm assuming your short on this share otherwise I can't understand your constant negativity towards housebuilders. I know I wouldn't spend loads of time on a bulletin board on a share I had no interest in.....long or short!

[knocknock] 07/7/2014 09:08

no shares, no house, no life, no soul!



no mark!

[taffee] 07/7/2014 09:06

Too late this should have been done 6 years ago instead prices have been artificially inflated and our banks pushed to lend into the biggest bubble in history..........all bubbles burst badly

[stew roc] 07/7/2014 08:57

I've held Taylor Wimpey for a while although this is my first post on here. All in all I think it was a solid statement and there was no nasty surprises.It's also good to see that the Bank of England have promised to raise interest rates in small increments over a long period of time to prevent a housing bubble going pop. And with banks being stricter on lending criteria too then I think these are all positive moves to prevent the housing market from crashing.I have a property that I rent out on a residential mortgage and interestingly last year my mortgage company had certain criteria I had to meet and one was that my rental income had to be at least 125% of my mortgage and last month when I was seeking to get consent to let for a further 12 months they have told me this figure has to be 140% now. I for one would rather banks and the Bank of England in particular were taking steps to protect the housing market even if it means some short term share price reduction if it means house builders are safe long term and indeed banks too.

I guess share had already anticipated a strong update given the run up.... probably a small pull back now on the positive news... then consolidation and further price strength on broker upgrades etc...

[gbh2] 07/7/2014 08:20

Markets will wait for US to open and indicate direction!

[taffee] 07/7/2014 08:17

Great update but what does the future hold?...are we in a bubble in prices
And will they drop?...interest rates are on the rise and property market is
On the edge..falls could be dramatic if history/other bubble pops are to be
Believed

Indeed, and with H1 results at the upper end of expectations I would expect some analysts to nudge up their forecasts today. A highly positive update that seem dismissive of any of the recent sector negativity. Along with imminent updates from other housebuilders, its likely to bring the sector back into focus

Reads well, lots of positives, even expecting Spain to contribute to 2nd half figures.

[1gw] 07/7/2014 07:12

Another strong update. I can't see anything to complain about in there.

[gambos49] 06/7/2014 22:59

Should be a good day tomorrow with the trading statement

[gambos49] 06/7/2014 16:55

Are Bdev still in the top 100 or have they lost their place ,is there a more up to date list thanks

[mike456] 04/7/2014 23:41

TWs share price has risen by more than 10% since that list was compiled :)

[deanforester] 04/7/2014 22:49

Have a look at and you will see that TW. is at position 104 and BDEV at 105, with about £34million difference in their market caps.

[gambos49] 04/7/2014 21:55

Anyone with up to date list of ftse 100 presume we have moved above Bdev . Are Bdev still in the 100 or did they drop out after first 1/4.Thanks

[5bag] 04/7/2014 19:14
