The 9.2p special dividend for the current year went xd on 1.6.17 and was paid on 14.7.17.

The Interims announced on 1.8.17 stated that next year's 10.4p special dividend will be paid in July 2018, presumably subject to AGM approval by shareholders. The xd date won't be advised until the Finals (around end February 2018), but it's reasonable to assume the xd date will be around 1.6.18, all else being equal.

Hiya.. what'll be the qualifying date for getting next years special div?

Another example of press being able to write opinion/hunch/feeling based on no actual fact. Hopefully this won't stall the recovery and only present a good buying opportunity. The Times article is a little more balanced but again wanders into the realms of their thoughts on a possibile further downside in respect of the leasehold situation. I guess a world where news was just fact wouldn't sell papers.

Just a sector wide short attack based on nothing of substance. Not for the first time either.

Propertyweek.com who ran the article this morning have now updated their story with the following:
"After housebuilder shares fell in early trading this morning, a spokesman for DCLG added: “The department regularly reviews the Help to Buy Equity Loan Scheme, with the last review taking place in 2015. To infer from this that the Help to Buy Equity Loan scheme will be cancelled is simply incorrect".

Bloody Fake News - how much has been wiped off the value of housebuilder shares today as a result!

FT article now out with Government response to todays "help to buy" story.

Government says it remains committed to Help to Buy. Any implication it would end early was “simply incorrect”.

Canadian or American he should still go back.

It's just the usual trading opportunity the funds take on housebuilders for whenever somebody from the BofE opens their mouth about interest rates. They aren't changing anytime soon, so it's one big shrug of the shoulders.

Personally smelling the opportunity here - huge volume move lower in one hour of trading means likely to recover as day progresses - nothing to worry about as far as I can see

[mr lol a lot] 04/8/2017 09:27

He's Canadian dimwit

I Doubt that interest rates will rise before the end of next year inflation may be increasing but the economy is slowing & how many people has help to buy really helped that wouldn't have purchased a house anyway IMHO probably only 5-10000 per year Personally it would be nice if certain people at the B of E spoke with Fact & not what might happen, In fact it would be better if a certain person F----d off back to America as I think he is doing more damage than good & his deputy assistant isn't doing much better either Im a great believer that if you talk an economy down it will go down.

Credit Suisse seem to have caused the issue this morning. Interestingly they feel they may have called downgrade on the sector prematurely. They ruined Royal Mails party earlier in the week. No facts to back up the downgrade purely their opinion. I think it may be a cappuccino after all.

Thank-you for posting Priteshpatel.
IMO it is good business practice to review whether value for money is being gained from current mechanisms (as it would be for any businesses - in the case it is gov't).
My reading of article, the independant evaluation seems to be a purely fact finding exercise with the remainder of the article all guesses and possibilities not probabilities.
Gov't policy will continue to be to encourage home ownership, the question that is being asked is purely is HTB a good vehicle for this and if so, does it need tweaking.

All IMO. :-)

[rb1206] 04/8/2017 09:09

I think also its due to builders d/g......

[m4rtinu] 04/8/2017 09:05

pritesh - thanks for link. MU

[martyn9] 04/8/2017 08:58

I'm sure housebuilders will create their own scheme to replace the government r2b at present.Pure scaremongering as usual.

[stuart37] 04/8/2017 08:56

Simple, Carney announces that rates will be rising within a year and the market makers have some fun!

[priteshpatel9] 04/8/2017 08:50

Here we go: H2B ending early.

[baracuda2] 04/8/2017 08:47

What on earth is going on with this today!!!

[clarky5150] 04/8/2017 08:44

All the builders are mirroring each other this morning.

[baracuda2] 04/8/2017 08:39

What's he said to cause this?

[martyn9] 04/8/2017 08:36

YF23, carney wants to keep his trap shut!! he called it wrong pre brexit vote with the armagedon thoughts on the economy.
