A positive attitude is something that goes deeper and has an effect beyond surface cheer. Negative attitudes promote fear, and a narrowing of focus and the mind, while positive attitudes do the opposite. No one should live in a constant state of “fight or flight”, but negative attitudes create exactly that scenario.

Studies have also shown that having a true positive attitude makes your view of life seem broad, full of possibilities. That view leads to actually living your life in a way that makes it natural to be exposed to and acquire new skills. People with a positive attitude also get their leg over more frequently.

is the housing market outlook dire?

Possibly for london, but the rest of the country???

We've 200,000 odd homeless.
We have hundred's of thousands migrating to UK each year all needing housing,and that's before we take into account rising population already resident.

UN Migration pact going to make migration a human right> Where do you think they'll mostly head to???

Welfare state
NHS
Both free.

Housing stocks going to boom and buying on weakness is the play.

Only fly in ointment a Corbyn government.
Then we're all up the khyber pass without a paddle.

Unfortunately, positive thinking is not going to save the housing market.

The outlook is dire.

[tlobs2] 13/12/2018 14:14

Christ there are some miserable extremists on here today...... give your heads a wobble lads and lasses.


You are only on this planet the once so why not enjoy it with a positive outlook? :-)

If it is looking like a Brexit with 'No Deal'... Or on WTO rules as some would say...
It'll create alot of uncertainty and take alot longer to iron out than many think...
Imv, the coming months will be volatile until some sort of clarity is available...
Personally, I disagree with the 'once Brexit is sorted, it'll be business as usual'!

Well, Boris doesn’t care whether we stay in or leave, his priorities revolve around becoming the Prime Minister. He would happily stay if he thought he could be PM. Notice he is quite happy for Jacob to take the media flak, whilst he bides his time.

If labour get in you can guarantee Council tax will soar across the board, alongside their "Garden/window" tax which will result in many being forced sellers.

Housing market will implode as will much else.

A large propertion of Jewish community will hurriedly sell and leave.

We'll be Venezuela in 18-24 months

Helpful post thx

Separately, I’m sure it was a genuine mistype but the balls up on the share buyback date and the need to call a meering to rectify it could / has been taken as signalling the board believes the shares are undervalued. Even if TW don’t then actually launch a buyback. Not a bad unintended outcome?

If the Labour Party get in,you can pretty much guarantee that second home ownership will attract increased taxes but more than that,rents will subjected to controls that will lead to a contraction of the rental market itself.Thats what happened when the Labour Party meddled in the 1970s.Properties were withdrawn from the market particularly due to the increased threat of sitting tenancy.I see that Labour in the polls have 38% of the vote,lagging the Tories on 39%,which is remarkable.The Tories greatest ally are Corbyn and team.Looks like that Rees Egg Nog and Boris have interpreted Brexit as involving leaving with No Deal.I don't think that's what the majority thought when they voted out since they were assured that it'd be easy peasy as the EU ceded to all our requests.We have years of uncertainty ahead of us.Let it be remembered we have to attract foreign capital to fund our deficits.

I wouldn't be surprised to see new taxes for second homes introduces over the coming years.

The party is over.

House sales are being affected by the additionsl 3% on second purchases. This is in effect if you have any intetest in other properties. And many btl landlords are being hit with that along with decreasing tax relief on their mortgage interest. If you buy a house at £200k to develop and flip, you are now 6k down with additional levy. I think it would be maybe 1.5k if sole property opposed to 7.5k on a second property. So sales are more limited to first time buyers and people just moving. If you dont exvhange on the same day, ie you own both houses even for a short time you pay the 3% and have to claim it back from hmrc when you eventually sell.

[up10] 13/12/2018 10:49

House prices going down, interest rates going up, looming recession, brexit.

Take your pick.

[1carus] 13/12/2018 10:47

UP10, I think Tlobs has called you out. If you want to simply deramp go somewhere else. I have nothing against anyone's opinions but relentless statements with no reasoning is tedious for us all on here. I don't really want to filter you because I enjoy hearing everyones point of view. Engage a little more and provide more reasoning if you post.

Low through lack of certainty in Brexit and mainly London and south east. Once this MogFog lifts normal service will be resumed

On what do you base those words of wisdom on then ?


This is the last communication from the company relating to how things are going .....

Pete Redfern, Chief Executive, commented:

"We have delivered a strong performance during the second half of 2018, with very good sales rates supported by positive customer demand and a supportive lending environment. This builds on our strong forward order book and puts us on track to meet full year expectations.

.......

Our current total order book, excluding joint ventures, represents 9,783 homes, which is 12% above last year (2017 equivalent period: 8,751). This order book stands at c.GBP2.4 billion (2017 equivalent period: c.GBP2.2 billion), an increase of 9%.

But unfortunately, with fast shrinking profits

[zoro9791] 13/12/2018 05:14

Well not that much. Also outside EU immigration increasing ( as predicted ).

[marksp2011] 13/12/2018 01:30

DR

You forgot making the environment so unattractive that the poles, roms and bulgs went to friendlier shores, reducing labour supply and some of the demand for rented accommodation especially larger houses that were then sub let

Clarky, I don't see her rolling her sleeves up and it isn't a part time job. ;-)

More seriously.. Gov's frequently talk of building more houses but they don't build any! Their reduced stamp duty for first time buyers and Help to buy is financial assistance to buy the houses that are built, but I can't recall any policies in recent years that will mean more houses will or could be built, apart from:

1) The penalty tax for sitting on land for speculative purpose. I have read of it but not aware of any land owners being levied the tax.
2) The encouragement of small co-operative schemes, that seem to have few takers.

IMO :-)
