leashold scandal = ppi of the house building industry

Based on the current trend I think £2.00 is very likely this week.

Looking like the day we might achieve orbit.

Well not held above £1.95 this calendar year by close. Looks like it might today. Certainly a popular share on an otherwise lacklustre day.

Just make sure they're flogging houses complete with Freehold because latest reports are that "some" companies are with holding the Freehold with a view to selling it on later at an inflated price.

No fee, she just took my mobile number and said that as soon as a suitable property is released I would get a text message.

[m4rtinu] 10/4/2017 08:57

I wonder if there is a fee to be on the list?

gbh - agree about the training, pay and standard of jobs.

Ex-Div date this Thursday 13th April @ 2.29p paid 19th May

[gbh2] 09/4/2017 19:04

Decent jobs with Training & decent pay are the things that are lacking in today's job market.

[m4rtinu] 09/4/2017 18:54

gbh - I would argue the problem for youngsters is in your first para.

[gbh2] 07/4/2017 10:56

I don't think those of us that's been in the housing market for years will have much trouble with buying, we switched houses after 25 years sold our first for 18x its purchase price, now after another 25 years our current house is worth 10x the purchase price.

It's those trying to get into the market that need the job & salary opportunities that we had in the 60s, 70s & 80s because the current age of zero hour contracts is no good for anything IMO.

[tlobs2] 07/4/2017 10:07

After 25 years in the same place (and the kids now grown up) we are now in the housing market again.

As fast as anything decent comes up it's gone within a couple of days. It's crazy. I might even have to go and look at a new one at this rate!

Do TW offer shareholders discounts?

;-)

Jobs & money supply will be the key, but if the Business leaders keep on screwing every penny they can out of UK businesses then both jobs & money supply will be in short supply.

[tlobs2] 07/4/2017 09:23

Those special dividends look safe :-)




Perfect storm of housing shortage and cheap mortgages predicted to trump Brexit and buy-to-let tax hike

According to the Centre for Economic and Buyout Research (CEBR), house prices will grow 4.4 per cent, or £9,000, this year, rising from £211,000 to £220,000, reports the Daily Telegraph.

This would be a marked slowdown from the 7.5 per cent for 2016, as tracked by the Office for National Statistics, while next year is expected to see growth slide further to 4.1 per cent.

But for the following three years, the growth rate will accelerate to 5.7 per cent and then beyond six per cent. By 2021, the average house price will be £272,000, says CEBR.

These figures will sound high to those who have been following private sector house price indices from the likes of Halifax, while Nationwide yesterday said prices rose by just 3.5 per cent in the year to last month.

The trend is the same, however, with house prices coming off rapid growth rates of recent years, but remaining in positive territory. Many believe that by private sector measures, growth will slow to around two per cent this year.

Not the time to be selling, IMHO factors other than the big Dividend driving this at the moment.

[grahamite2] 06/4/2017 11:25

Sold yesterday at 192 - made sense with an acquisition cost of 132 only a few months ago. I could easily see it getting to £2 and beyond, but on the other hand the market has had a very good run and there could be a "sell in May and go away" mini crash. Time for a bit of derisking I thought.

[tlobs2] 04/4/2017 15:56

Looking very strong again today up 1% and with nearly thirty million shares traded!

Those dividends look like they are enticing buyers in :-)

Extract from Markit's Construction PMI for March.

"March data revealed a slowdown in growth across the UK construction sector, led by a weaker rise in residential building activity."

[communityheat] 04/4/2017 09:13

Is the UK about to have a district heating scandal? One needs to ask if house builders and Heat providers are cashing in on installing incorrect heat specification generating extra cash?

[banksy] 04/4/2017 08:57

Would expect share price to start motoring soon , final div 2.29 per share as of 13/4 with spec div 9.20 per share as of 1/6

[gbh2] 04/4/2017 07:50

That's the (only Bad news is News) BBC for you, no mention of the 1000s of houses that were ok!

[garycook] 04/4/2017 07:32

How can you have 140 problems with a new house !!!

[folderboy] 04/4/2017 06:31

Not the greatest publicity:



A homeowner has told BBC 5 live he's spent the last two-and-a-half-years trying to sort out the 140 problems with his new house.
