m4: not exactly although it had an influence. Rising inflation is spooking the market, and the fear of bad debt increases has also affecting the banking sector who are obviously exposed to mortgages. Add to that the massive decrease in retail spending people are wondering if this is a warning sign of a forthcomming downturn in economic spending. Add a pinch of the chineese economy facing problems and then add a dollop of brexit on top and you have this thing called uncertainty.

Re 21115.
Yes, that's it. But now another five years of it. Fill your boots.

A bit early to say, but was all this share price movement caused by expectation that HTB would end sooner rather than later?

My mates a contract carpenter, he said business is crazy at the minute. Can't see bad news in update. Maybe 174 is realistic in next few weeks.

IC on the budget:

Major housebuilders breathed a collective sigh of relief after the Help to Buy scheme was left largely intact in the Budget. Crucially, the facility has been extended by two years to March 2023. This gives builders the visibility needed to plan their land purchase requirements, and while the government has stated that there will be no extension after 2023, the scheme has already been extended twice.

I think these will now steadily climb back to about £1.74-1.80 where they will probably stay for a while.

[gbh2] 30/10/2018 15:51

Lucky on occasions having made what I was looking for elsewhere.

[m4rtinu] 30/10/2018 15:38

Good call today gbh2.

[gbh2] 30/10/2018 14:07

180p was a pivotal price in the past I'd be happy with seeing that again by next April.

[doyden] 30/10/2018 14:01

You can't keep a good company down. TW will be back up to £2 again before next April.I'm hoping the price doesn't rise too quickly though as I'd like to buy some more with the dividend to be paid soon.

[gbh2] 30/10/2018 12:56

Yep, up just under 2% atm tlobs2, but I'll wait for the update.

[tlobs2] 30/10/2018 11:58

Good timing gbh2


The outlook appears to be a lot brighter..........


Perhaps the doom mongers have got it wrong again :-)

[gbh2] 30/10/2018 09:50

Back in this morning & looking forward to Update on the 13th Nov.

[jonwig] 30/10/2018 08:16

Lack of interest here for nearly 18 months!

Just possibly the housing market will be mildly encouraged by the budget ... judging by absence of negatives!

Opinions welcome, as this sector has never been my forte.

What do you make of over 70 million shares traded yesterday

[disneydonald] 29/10/2018 22:27

IMHO HTB scheme extension should be taken as good news. Builders expecting it to end at some point, so finishing in 2023 gives plenty time to plan. Although the extension is only for first time buyers and is capped at 1.5 times average price first time buyers by region. Also good was formal acknowledgement that Letwin review cleared builders of land banking. Be interesting to see how the Market reacts tomorrow, glass half full or half empty ? May also help to accelerate sales to non first time buyers over next couple years before HTB stops for them

[martyn9] 29/10/2018 14:38

jug,i stand corrected, yes billion dollars!!

[stewart64] 29/10/2018 14:29

7 ran....house prices more than tripled between 1996 and 2007, they are currently up 15% over the last eleven years or an inflation adjusted fall of about 20%. You are making historical comparisons to a decade boom that saw prices rise 200% compared to a steady decline in real terms over the last decade. Halifax house price index..200 (1996) 630 (2007) 730 (now).

[jugears] 29/10/2018 13:48

7ran, OMG LOL !!!!!!! What an absolute plonker you are, Must be school lunchtime again.

[jugears] 29/10/2018 13:46

martyn9, wasn't it more like £595 million , I think you are confusing £ & $

[7ran5ac710n] 29/10/2018 13:11

95% certainty level within next 18 months, once the post-Brexit bubble has popped...All IMHO... °|°

[martyn9] 29/10/2018 12:52

Bearing in mind they sold their canadian arm off for nearly a billion, that helped somewhat.

[jugears] 29/10/2018 12:44

Hernando2-1 billion was an incredible amount of debt the fact they managed to pay this debt off during one of the worst periods the uk has ever experienced is just shows what a good company this is, what ever happens short term Tw will be around for a long time yet & think the share price has a long way to go yet.

[hernando2] 29/10/2018 12:35

Back then they should have been made bankrupt, but it looked like the problem was so big the banks just kept them on as a zombie until things improved.

i almost bought at 12p , then a bit later someone I knew who worked there said it looks like things are going to be ok, that was at 30p, I was still too scared , but got in after the brexit vote.

They are in good shape i think.
