Neil Woodford buys into housebuilders and property

[gambos49] 19/5/2017 18:42

Does anyone know the price at which the dividend was paid if you took the shares instead of cash
Thanks

First time back over two quid since the recent correction.

Probably didn't do any harm that this is Woodford's 7th highest ranked share in his new Income Focus fund revealed yesterday......show your hand and others will copy and boost the value of your holding.

Thought yesterday's leasehold review was slightly reassuring. The period concerned was only 4 years. Seems to have gone down well today.

The dividend chasers should be arriving shortly....

Leasehold review

As noted in our Full Year results statement, following concern expressed by some customers we have been in the process of carrying out a review into historic lease structures. The latter stages of the review have focused on a specific lease structure which provides that the ground rent doubles every 10 years until the 50(th) year, at which point the rent is capped. This review has now been completed and we are able to announce our conclusions and will now commence the process of communicating our proposals to our customers.
This lease structure was introduced by Taylor Wimpey in good faith in 2007. It was one of a variety of lease types used on new developments during that period until late 2011, when we stopped using them on new developments commenced after that date. From this date, our new developments have used RPI based clauses which reflect broad economic cost and wage growth, and which have over time become the industry norm.
The doubling clauses are considered to be entirely legal and are clearly set out in the relevant lease documentation. In addition, when buying their Taylor Wimpey property, all customers received independent legal advice as part of the standard conveyancing process.
However, notwithstanding the above, it is clear from our review that the impact of these doubling rent review clauses is now causing some of our customers understandable concern.

What price will these be sold down to after the Special dividend, is the question?

[michaelbinary] 16/5/2017 17:06

Special divi.........lovely.

[stewart64] 16/5/2017 15:57

Well I bought back in spite of my reservations at 196.6. Wasn't an intentional swing trade buying back a bit cheaper but faced with the stark reality of the poor fundamentals on some of my other stocks I cashed out TUI at a profit to get back in. TUI talk a great game but make losses, TW scare the hell out of me but have been making shed loads of cash. Backward looking granted.

[gbh2] 15/5/2017 15:00

I'm not expecting anything until Next week, I'd like to see 210p + by ex dividend date.

[banksy] 15/5/2017 14:54

Wow such a struggle today ... anyone would think you only had 3 weeks to get in for the special div ... oh you do!

Should buy a modest house somewhere in the UK and if more is needed there's another Million plus still in the account!

[jugears] 12/5/2017 18:55

Don't know of many house builders that supply solicitors, but what do I know I have only been in the industry for nearly 40 years.

[baracuda2] 12/5/2017 18:19

Spoole, if you have sold out you don't need to be concerned or posting here do you!!

[jugears] 12/5/2017 18:07

Baracuda2 Totally agree, Unlike ppi purchasers solicitors are at fault for not advising weather lease hold was good or bad, Sorry but if you don't own the land don't build on it, Not sure why one of the directors has sold so many shares, unless he is about to leave ?

[baracuda2] 12/5/2017 17:32

Well I can see why you've posted your last comments especially now you have sold out. The lease issue has been blown out of proportion and people like you are just trying to scare investors to sell so you can buy at lower a price. Customers who purchased a property with a lease should of read the small print, it's there own fault not the company's. It's about time this discussion about lease ended

[spoole5] 12/5/2017 17:02

Sold out this morning first thing, the leasehold scandal is only just beginning and has the potential to be ppiesque. I still am yet to find solid answers as to how many properties this applies to and as such there are too many risks here now. The money put aside does not cover buying back the freehold which is ultimately what any legal challenge will seek to achieve, plus damages, compensation and legal costs not to mention reputational damage.
