BELLWAY (+ others)
An enquiry into potential mis selling by Major Developers such as Taylor Wimpey, Bellway, Persimmon, Linden Homes, Barrats etc of new homes with onerous lease clauses that have resulted in home owners facing in some cases doubling ground rent every 10 years. These clauses were hidden from buyers during sales process and concerted effort by sales people to discourage potential purchase of freehold at point of sale. The clauses are so onerous that owners of these homes cannot now sell them.
Subsequently Developers have sold on the leases to off shore freeholders who in many instances are subsidiaries of the same Developers. I had informed Taylor Wimpey that I would purchase and was told I had 5 years to purchase. The lease was sold without my knowledge in less than 2 years to one of these companies. In my case it was £5,900 to purchase from Taylor Wimpey and 6 months later I was quoted £44k to purchase from the new owner of the freehold.

Bellway said Wednesday it expected to generate record annual revenue as historical low interest rates supported demand for affordably priced new housing.

For the 12 months to 31 July, the company expects revenue growth of around 16% to almost £3bn, well above the £2.56bn seen last year, and operating margin of around 22% roughly flat year-on-year.

Bellway broke through the 10,000 homes barrier for the first time in its history, selling 10,307 new residential dwellings, an increase of 6.9% from 9,644 homes sold last year.

Strong sales demand was seen during the year, with a 7.0% increase in the reservation rate to 200 per week, up from 187 per week last year.

'There remains an underlying requirement for additional, good quality and affordably priced new housing. This is supported by the availability of Help to Buy and an environment of low interest rates, which despite the recent Bank of England decision, remain close to a historically low level,' said Jason Honeyman, Chief Executive.

'Overall, trading conditions are favourable and customer confidence appears robust, with this reflected in the cancellation rate, which remains low at just 11% for the full year (2017 11%).'

Bellway said Tuesday annual profits and revenue grew double digits on strong demand for new housing, though the company warned that Brexit could weigh on the busy spring selling season.

For the 12 months to 31 July, profit before tax rose 14.3% to £641.1m and revenue increased 15.6% to almost £2.96bn, well above the £2.56bn from a year earlier. This was in line with the company's guidance released in August.

The gross margin fell to 25.5% for the year, from 25.9% compared to the prior financial year, driven by the reduced income following the sale of freehold reversion interests.

The company's sales were also boosted by the Help-to-Buy scheme, particularly in London, where affordability was most constrained, the company said. Help-to-Buy accounted for 39% of completions.

Bellway sold 10,307 new residential dwellings, an increase of 6.9% from 9,644 homes sold last year.

Robust demand for affordably priced homes supported a 2.9% increase in the reservation to 176 a week in the period, up from 171 a week from a year earlier.

Forward sales were strong as the value of the order book was 7.9% ahead at £1.47bn, compared with £1.36bn last year.

'The Board are mindful that the forthcoming exit from the EU in March could pose a threat to consumer confidence during the busy spring selling season,' said Jason Honeyman, CEO.

'Assuming that market conditions remain unchanged, however, this healthy position should enable Bellway to further increase output in the year ahead.'
