Back over 600p4 Aug 2017 11:43
looks like this whole HTB review has been overblown. Short-term it will be a huge positive if the rview goes for a phased ending. Stretched wannabe homeowners wil bring forward purchases in order to avail of the scheme. Wasn't it due to expire in 2020 anyway? Speaking as a holder I just love the smell of fresh househunter in the morning and that particular group ain't going anywhere anytime soon. Profit takers have been spooked out and as anything below 600p is a bargain here, then there are plenty ready to step in. HTB has inflated the market at the lower end and brought down some price which would be 600k plus to just under that figure. Therefore the laudable intention it has to help ordinary people has not only not worked, it has been positively harmful. Barretts should not be relying on artificial props like this.
