9:37 17/05/2012 Crocodile Tears: Industry Report
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-18098956

Crocodile tears from House Builder institutions as The National Housing Federation and the Chartered Institute of Housing employs Shelter to front claim that the Government isn’t doing enough.

It may be true that we do not have enough housing in certain areas of the UK and Shelter are there doing great and valued work, but to say it’s the Governments fault is a little rich.

The House Building Industry has been helped out by numerous successive governments and it is still is through policy and tax savings, whether it be zero rated VAT, stamp duty holidays, planning policies, etc. – the list is endless.

Really it is time for developers to do some navel gazing and utilise the Billions that developers have in the bank to put it right.

This could be done through numerous ways maybe taking less ROCE, which is really short termism, but would fit into their present quick profit structure or maybe they could bring in business to developments and build up the areas long term wealth to sustain the build out of the development. Bringing in business could be achieved through direct investment in the business i.e. shareholding, commercial funding, etc. or even cross shareholding, this would give long term commitment to development and area, so giving confidence in the proposed development.

Maybe all large planning applications should include a section on ‘Long Term Wealth Benefit of the Proposed Development’, would bring to an area.

Stop hiding behind the petty coat of Shelter and tarnishing their good name and be proactive.

18:46 01/05/2012 House Prices Are Still Too High!!
It is still the case that house prices are still too high and unsustainable.

We are proping up a market through the government policies for the past 30 years, when we should be looking more to manufacturing and our export industries. The government create a Business and Commercial Bank out RBS to build our export industries.

The Housing Market needs a minimum 25% managed reduction in many areas to rebalance and enable the UK population wage to be realigned to property prices. We can not sustain a housing market as it is, otherwise we are building up yet another bubble that will burst.

SpikeyDT, thanks for the news items. Bovis's very low leverage and generally positive outlook also makes it an ideal takeover target in my view. By beedeeeye
