Just reading an interesting article in The Sunday Times where it is mentioned that immigration will need to be relaxed in order to fill massive labour shortages in retail, construction & hospitality. The salary threshold for a worker to qualify for a Visa also lowered and more importantly, the shortage occupation list expanded. Changes to the Post Brexit immigration system now a must, government officials admits (no **** Sherlock)!!
It doesn't take a scientist to work out what this means for the housing market!! Persimmons is in a prime position to take advantage with land resources available as well as a significant amount of dry powder ready to be deployed in the adquisition of further sites!
I must say, the more I think about the dividend cut, which by the way still attractive at nearly 5%, the more I realise how diligent and forward thinking this company is!
