I don't think their name "Telford" indicates where they operate - East London according to Shares.

The current sp 1.50 is more-or-less the price prior to the Olympic Bid, which probably gave the sp a boost, withouit looking to far to the cost involved.

It's been all downhill for the last 12-months - Oooo deary.
The yield isn't good, despite the fall.

Do not forget market is always looking ahead and 6 month better than 3........

Central London house prices show biggest fall in 7 years after Brexit
Wed, 3rd Aug 2016 11:50

LONDON, Aug 3 (Reuters) - House prices in London's most expensive areas recorded their biggest fall in nearly seven years in July after the Brexit vote reinforced a downward trend caused by a rise in property taxes, a consultancy said on Wednesday.

Knight Frank's prime central London index fell 1.5 percent last month from a year earlier, due to the uncertainty created by the June 23 referendum and a rise in property taxes which pushed up prices and brought sales forward to the start of 2016.

"Since the vote, a number of buyers have requested discounts due to the climate of political and economic uncertainty," Head of London Residential Research Tom Bill said.

"The decision to leave the European Union has provided a backdrop of short-term uncertainty that is affecting behaviour in the prime central London property market," he said.

Prime central London stretches from Notting Hill and Knightsbridge, home to department store Harrods, in the west to the City of London and Islington towards the north and east.

In Knightsbridge, prices fell 7.3 percent last month, the biggest drop of any of the 15 areas examined whilst the biggest rise was 5.3 percent in the City of London.

Property prices in the capital's most desirable areas began recording annual declines in the run-up to the vote, according to Knight Frank, but July's fall is the biggest since October 2009, when Britain began recovering from the 2007-8 financial crisis.

But Knight Frank said that the primary reason for the decline remained changes to stamp duty, a property tax, which raised the amount paid on the most expensive properties and on second homes and buy-to-let investments, key to the central London market.

Commercial property took the biggest hit in the wake of the EU referendum with investors pulling out money from funds, forcing some to be suspended.

But there have been warnings in recent weeks from housebuilders and estate agents that residential property prices and demand could suffer.

Britain's biggest housebuilder, Barratt Developments , said last month that it might slow the pace of construction to prepare itself for an expected slowdown. London-focussed estate agent Foxtons blamed Brexit for its slump in profits.

Knight Frank said rental values last month fell 3.6 percent in London, a city where many young professionals cannot afford to buy their own homes due to high property prices.

The number of prospective tenants fell 6.8 percent year-on-year in the three months to the end of June, impacted by the vote, it said.

This may not be as bad for Telford as it is in central London ,Telford build cheaper more affordable homes (half million pounds) which is not so much in the high end .

Soon be making the sound of a pound.

With the interest cuts just announced to 0.25%, the ones to benefit most would be stocks with plenty of borrowing.
Is TEF is one of them?

Borrowings
In March 2015 the Group secured a new revolving credit facility for £180 million which was increased from £120 million. This new facility runs until March 2019 and allows the Group to be much more flexible in its approach to site acquisitions. It is governed by standard corporate covenants together with site covenants on a portfolio basis. During the year the Group has benefited from a significantly reduced rate of interest compared to the previous facility as the rate is determined by the Group's gearing which has remained low throughout the year. The margin payable on the facility can vary from 2.8 per cent to 4 per cent dependent on gearing.

During the year the Board took advantage of favourable market conditions on longer term interest rate hedge products and entered into an interest rate swap on a proportion of its future anticipated drawn debt. This has reduced the Group's exposure to interest rate increases and will become effective from 1 October 2016 expiring on 4 March 2019. The swap initially secures the interest rate the Group will pay on £50 million of debt increasing to £100 million from 4 June 2017 as the Group's debt utilisation is expected to increase over this period.

As at 31 March 2016 the Group had utilised £40 million of the facility (31 March 2015: £95 million) leaving £140 million of headroom for investment in the existing and future development pipeline. Gearing has reduced to 9.3 per cent (2015: 43.9 per cent) although this is expected to increase in future years as the Group utilises more of the facility. The headroom in the facility along with the increased equity due to the placing means the Group is in a very strong financial position to enable the significant growth expected over the next few years.

ST of IC today - So, ahead of a pre-close trading update in mid-October, I rate Telford’s shares a buy on a bid-offer spraed of 289p to 289.5p and have a target price of 370p. Buy.

Ouch director selling after last week rise and another 10p today.....

Midday Market report

Housebuilders including Taylor Wimpey and Berkeley were lower after new housing minister Gavin Barwell gave a strong indication of a material shifting in housing policy, hinting that controversial Starter Homes scheme will be scrapped and the government will pursue policies to expand the public sector and private sector rental markets.

Analyst Robin Hardy at Shore Capital, who pointed out that housebuilders instead used the various government stimulus measures to create a golden trading environment with substantial benefits for margins, returns, cash flow and dividends, said the new policy direction "likely to see a change in the dynamics of the house builders' profitability especially if there is any adjustment to the scope and scale of Help-to-Buy".

Current trading
Telford Homes continues to hold a positive view of both the current and future housing market in non-prime areas of London due to the significant imbalance between the supply of homes and demand for somewhere to live.  This imbalance underpins the future prospects for the business and as a result the Board has not revised the Group's growth targets following the outcome of the EU vote. There is a housing crisis in London with many more homes needed and the Group expects to play an increasing role in delivering those homes.
 
The Group started the current financial year with a substantial forward sold position that has subsequently been enhanced to exceed £650 million of revenue to be recognised from the year to 31 March 2017 onwards.  As a result the existing development pipeline has been significantly de-risked putting the Group in a strong position. 
 
In terms of the current market environment the Group is pleased to report that it has experienced increased sales activity in respect of residual availability across a number of developments.  Since the start of September greater interest levels and more visitors to the central sales centre have resulted in an increased number of reservations.  Particularly pleasing is that this has included the sale of three of the remaining penthouses at Horizons, E14 where the average price is over £1 million and is therefore well in excess of our usual price point.  The average anticipated price of open market homes in the Group's future pipeline is £517,000.  
 
The Group's next significant launch will be City North in Finsbury Park, a joint development with The Business Design Centre in Islington, which is planned for November 2016.  This development is now underway and the Group recently announced the successful signing of a £110 million loan facility with LaSalle Residential Investment Fund, which will fund this exciting scheme of 355 homes, 140,000 square feet of commercial and leisure space and a new entrance to the underground station.  As with previous developments, the Group expects that the product and location will be attractive to a range of buyers both at the launch and thereafter.
 
PRS (Private Rented Sector) or 'build to rent' remains a significant focus for the Group following the sale of The Pavilions, N1 to a subsidiary of L&Q and Carmen Street, E14 to M&G Real Estate.  Following these two development sales Telford Homes has recently progressed to detailed discussions on a third transaction with a prospective purchaser.  There has been a noticeable increase in institutional interest in PRS investments which complements the Group's desire to extend its involvement in the sector and to benefit from stronger returns on equity and lower gearing as a result. 
 
Telford Homes has a strong and accelerated development pipeline as a result of the purchase of the regeneration business of United House in September 2015.  The Group has resources to add to that pipeline due to the £50 million equity placing in 2015 and has been able to take a selective approach to prospective acquisitions.  An increasing number of opportunities are being appraised with some sites now the subject of more detailed negotiations.   
 
Interim results and outlook
The Group's reported profits in any given period are driven by the number of open market completions achieved and there were far fewer of these in H1 2017 than H1 2016.  This is purely down to development timings which are all on track and in accordance with the original programmes but do not always fall equally across the year.  Completions of individual properties are proceeding exactly as planned with no unexpected delays. 
 
As a result of the weighting of completions across the year pre-tax profit for H1 2017 will be lower than last year but entirely in line with expectations.  The interim dividend is proposed to increase in line with the anticipated full year profit growth and will not be affected by weighting between the two half year periods.  To date Telford Homes has secured 95 per cent of the open market homes anticipated to complete in the year to 31 March 2017 and 87 per cent of the gross profit expected in the year.  The Board's expectations for the full year to 31 March 2017 and further into the future remain unchanged and the Group is on track to deliver significant growth in both output and profits over the next three years.
 
Jon Di-Stefano, Chief Executive of Telford Homes, commented:
"We have seen a robust market place in recent weeks, with encouraging sales activity and increasing interest from institutional investors.  We are very pleased with the progress of our move into delivering schemes for the 'build to rent' sector and I am delighted that we are progressing discussions on a third transaction to add to the sales already achieved to L&Q and M&G Real Estate."
 
"The Group has made strong progress in the last six months and remains positive about the long term prospects for the housing market in non-prime areas of London. The imbalance between the supply of homes and the need for somewhere to live is not diminishing and this underpins our plans to continue to grow Telford Homes over the next few years."

There is a bounce since yesterday on the housing stocks.
The reason for the weakness on TEF must be some on the know of a slow down on sales on the 1st half.......

...... As a result of the weighting of completions across the year pre-tax profit for H1 2017 will be lower than last year

your selective extraction omitted the very important but entirely in line with expectations.

Telford Homes at bargain basement prices
By Harriet Mann | Wed, 12th October 2016 - 14:08


London-based housebuilder Telford Homes (TEF) has seen a bounce in sales following the EU referendum in another sign that the UK economy is holding up despite doomsday predictions. Investors clearly have faith in the cyclical housing sector, chasing AIM-listed Telford's high-yielding shares north Wednesday.
"We have seen a robust marketplace in recent weeks, with encouraging sales activity and increasing interest from institutional investors," said chief executive Jon Di-Stefano in an optimistic half-year update.
Results so far are in line with expectations, and only lower than last year due to the timing of development completions. A "substantially higher" proportion of profits will be posted in the second half, said Di-Stefano, who has not adjusted Telford's growth targets since the Brexit vote.
Jumping 5% to 311p, Telford shares are up 22% from their post-referendum, two-year low of 254p. Its recovery has lagged housebuilding peers, however, and the shares are still about 40p below their pre-vote levels. Di-Stefano told Interactive Investor in June that the market often struggles to understand Telford.
Decades of undersupply underpins growth, as demand in non-prime London remains strong
But Peel Hunt analyst Gavin Jago, who upgraded his price target on Telford just three weeks before the referendum, still thinks they're incredibly cheap, predicting 56% upside.
"Given the strong forward sales, solid demand for its products and increasing PRS [Private Rented Sector] opportunities, in our view, the market is significantly undervaluing this growth," says Jago. "Together with a CY 2017 yield of 5.6% we remain very comfortable with our 'buy' recommendation and 485p target price."
Decades of chronic undersupply underpins growth forecasts, as demand for homes in the non-prime areas of London remains strong.
Since September, Telford has enjoyed higher reservation numbers, including the sale of the three remaining penthouses in its East London Horizons complex, where the average price is over £1 million.

"There is a housing crisis in London with many more homes needed and the group expects to play an increasing role in delivering those homes," the group said Wednesday.
Over £650 million of revenue has already been forward sold to be recognised this financial year, up from £640 million in June, so investors are reassured that the development pipeline has been derisked, improving visibility. The average price of the open market homes in the pipeline is £517,000. More detail will be given in November's interims.
PRS builds are still a large focus for Telford after the sale of The Pavilions, N1, to a subsidiary of L&Q and Carmer Sterete, E14, to a subsidiary of M&G Real Estate. Institutional investors are clearly keen to get a slice of the action - these deals lock in long-term rental income - and PRS developments also de-risk the business for Telford.
So far, the company has secured 95% of the open market homes to be completed in the year to 31 March 2017 and 87% of the gross profit.
Next on the cards is Telford's joint development with The Business Design Centre, City North in Finsbury Park. A £110 million loan from LaSalle Residential Investment Fund will finance the project to build 355 new homes, 140,000 square feet of commercial and leisure space and a new underground entrance.
Peel Hunt expects an increase in sales from £245 million to £291 million in the year to March 2017, with adjusted pre-tax profit up from 32.2 million to £33 million. Look for £44 million profit the year after. An estimated full-year dividend of 15.7p this time gives a prospective yield of 5%.

Not sure if they will be able to get the asking price for sky scrapers over Stratford. Watching them go up and as a cockney sparrow I would not want to live there now!!

There are no cockneys left there , don't worry the foreigners will buy them .
