Chinese investor eyes up high-end house builder Cala Homes for takeover

My Geordies are from Jarrow & Hebburn :)

Sunderlanders are mackems, Newcastle nob-jockies are geordies. Your ignorance on this matter is alarming.

[gbh2] 28/10/2016 20:34

Simply a filtered Nobody as far as I'm concerned!

clarky5150 - 150k gets you absolutely squat down south, not even a mobile home on a bit of waste land - and south is where all the jobs are

battue, guess we'll have to differ on that point, not to worry I can live with it :))

gbh2 Not sure whose charts you are using but there is definitely no gap on july 6th or anywhere else post brexit the few that were formed have been closed from 110 to 170.3.

150k buys a 3 bed detached in most areas of the East Midlands excluding the obvious sought after postcodes.

[tlobs2] 28/10/2016 15:56

You can buy a street for that in areas of North Manchester ;-)

[raffles the gentleman thug] 28/10/2016 15:29

Nice idea but you can't build squat for £150k.

Much better to cut top end stamp and allow developers to make a margin on this to deliver affordable housing.

[tlobs2] 28/10/2016 14:30

I think the stamp duty needs to be relaxed for the next five years on properties under seven hundred and fifty thousand. This would help stimulate growth in the middle aged sector who are the ones who are more likely to buy new houses.

The younger first time buyers will then have more entry level properties available to them.

I'd also like to see all the new build developers dedicate areas where affordable housing can be made at a cost that is in reach of first time buyers i.e <£150k

[raffles the gentleman thug] 28/10/2016 11:19

Personally can't see them removing the 3% on an additional home, as its a fair thing to do to try to eliminate competition for first time buyers, and I think serious investment buyers are now looking through it and not deterred from investment.

But I think they do need to change the tax deductibilty of interest expenses for BTL, because it will only result in rental cost inflation, which is exactly what they don't want to see.

Otherwise I think the top end rates will change, since it has just resulted in liquidity drying up and developers shelving projects left right and centre. Almost every developer is now having to swallow stamp duty on any purchase over £1.5m, which is exactly why they won';t build at this end of the scale anymore unless policy changes - and its most certainly in the Government's interest to change it

ALWAYS raffles

The only people I trust are thee and me even then, I'm not so sure about thee ;)

[raffles the gentleman thug] 28/10/2016 11:10

always the conspiracy theorist eh gbh2 :-)

Personally I see stamp duty tweaks as a very low cost an effective way of delivering a big economic boost, with the real possibility that an increase in transactional volumes more than offsetting the headline rate cuts.

Just about every interested party is lobbying for a change

[ianood] 28/10/2016 11:08

Reversal of 3% stamp duty on 2nd homes and BTLs would be useful

[redartbmud] 28/10/2016 10:57

They leak in advance of announcements now. After all, the thousands of spin doctors employed by government have to do something to justify their existence.

[gbh2] 28/10/2016 10:52

Recent experiences suggest this government (like those before) are not very good at keeping anything under wraps so my guess is that institutional interest will be the first indicator of what the government is planning for the Autumn budget.

It'll be interesting to see shortly whether Hammond feels the need to stimulate transaction volumes in the housing market via tax cuts - that could really lead to some short covering.

My personal bet is he, like any sane Chancellor, will, and that is not remotely factored into share prices here

Hopefully a swift and rapid rise back to 150p/160p just in time for a few corporates to start buying in.

Don't blame you tlobs2 ... no value added on TW coming whatsoever from that particular poster

[tlobs2] 28/10/2016 07:53

I have used the bellendometer button and filtered both arja and runwaypaul who clearly appear to struggle with the basics.

Looking at their style of writing they could be the same deluded shorter.
