Britain's pandemic-driven housing boom is likely to cool when tax incentives are withdrawn but changes to the market caused by COVID might keep pressure on demand, a Bank of England policymaker said on Thursday.
House prices rose in the 12 months to March by more than 10% in annual terms - the sharpest increase since August 2007 - spurred by demand for bigger homes as more people work from home, as well as the government's support measures, data showed.

Bill Brodie Good, CEO & Technical Director of Alien Metals, commented:
“The excellent initial assay results we’ve seen from our maiden drilling program on the Han**** licence,
recent field work carried out on both licences, and along with the continued surge in demand and price
for Iron Ore, have underscored the rationale for this acquisition and we are delighted to be increasing
our stake in the Hamersley Project to over 90%. By obtaining the major controlling interest, we will
have greater flexibility to both manage and monetise the Project as our continued exploration moves
it up the value curve.
“Iron ore has recently broken through the US$200 per tonne barrier, driven largely by global
infrastructure demand and stimulus spending as economies look to shake off the COVID-19 economic
slump. These factors are showing no sign of slowing as global demand for Iron Ore continues to rise
and we see continued resilience in the price. Against this backdrop, we feel this Acquisition is highly
value accretive for the Company and will deliver significant value for shareholders.
“The Company is in the process of commencing a follow-up drill program on the Han**** licence with
a view to generating a maiden JORC compliant resource and, once permits have been received, we will
commence our maiden drill program at the Brockman licence as well, which contains historic BHP iron
prospects and remains an exciting licence in its own right.”

What is your dividend policy?
• Following a request made by the PRA to large UK banks in March 2020, the Group suspended the payment of
dividends on ordinary shares for the remainder of 2020 and cancelled the payment of the final dividend for 2019.
These actions were undertaken as a precautionary measure to preserve capital as the spread of the coronavirus
pandemic led to a UK wide lockdown, with the potential to create a significant and prolonged downturn.
• In December 2020, the PRA announced that dividend payments could recommence, provided that this was subject to
a prudent framework for the setting of such distributions. As a result the PRA established a cap on distributions for
year end 2020. Given the Group's strong capital position at the year end and the Board announced a final ordinary
dividend of 0.57 pence per share, the maximum allowed under the PRA's guidelines.
• The Group will update the market on interim dividend payments with the half-year results, subsequent to reviewing
the PRA's update on distributions which is expected ahead of the half-year results reporting cycle for the large UK
banks. In the interim the Group's dividend accrual in the quarter equated to 5 basis points and is currently based upon
a pro-rated amount of the 2020 full year dividend in accordance with PRA guidance.
• As previously stated, the Board intends to resume its progressive and sustainable ordinary dividend policy with the
dividend at a higher level than 2020.
