Oh dear, two large companies combine and, like an intergalactic "event" only negative matter remains....a case of 1 + 1 = 0.2

Let me say - sp a year ago was 10x today's - so this business has earned its place in the 90% club....and maybe more to come, as they will need to go overseas for cash, if the UK is dry.

I doubt there is a UK Builder with enough dosh to bail-out this dullard. They all thought they could expand until the UK burst with immigrants - yet they consistently went for pricier properties and projects where ( even now), there is some doubt whether there are enough jobs to support new-build developments.

EDIT ( Nov 2015 ) - Seven years on and we're at 183p - so anyone that bought at the all-time Low has done very well - but the Market was fearful and that meant few were Buying. 2009/2010 averaged about 40p - that was a good time if you had the LT cash.
With the rise and yield-multiplier effect, this is looking like Buying it was "probably" inspired.... but it has not regained that earlier Value - which will surely take a lot longer.

I didn't realise until now that TW are paying a divi, due Wed 21st Aug (0.22p)

BlackRock > 5%

sp sub 100p heading south dearth of news except housing bubble prattle.

Buying op for me .

Taylor Wimpey has completed the merger of its legacy pension schemes, the George Wimpey Staff Pension Scheme (GWSPS) and the Taylor Woodrow Group Pension & Life Assurance Fund (TWGP&LAF), to create a new scheme called the Taylor Wimpey Pension Scheme (TWPS).

Taylor Wimpey has also implemented a pension funding partnership, which is structured to deliver to the TWPS a 15-year income stream together with final conditional payments of up to £100 million.

As a result of the implementation of the pension funding partnership, Taylor Wimpey's pension deficit on a funding basis will reduce.

As part of an upbeat review of the UK housing market, Goldman Sachs has added Taylor Wimpey to its 'conviction buy' list and upgraded its ratings for Bovis Homes and Barratt Developments from 'neutral' to 'buy'.

"Partly stimulated by the Help To Buy shared equity scheme, lead indicators such as UK mortgage approvals and RICS survey data strongly indicate a rebound in activity. Moreover, forward sales for UK housebuilders are currently tracking up around 50%, further supporting our view of a meaningful transactions recovery from 2014 onwards from depressed levels," the US bank said.

"Taylor Wimpey confident of delivering on FY expectations

StockMarketWire.com

Taylor Wimpey said it is confident of delivering on its full-year expectations, and is demonstrating further improvement in the quality of returns, which remains the company's key focus.

"Whilst the UK housing market has seen a marked improvement during the second half of the year, we remain disciplined and continue to capture shareholder value in every aspect of the businesswhile remaining focused on the long term health of the business," it said.

CEO Pete Redfern said the UK housing market has remained healthy in the second half of the year, with better mortgage availability and consistent demand for Taylor Wimpey's homes, leading to an increase in sales rates against the same period last year.

"Help to Buy continues to prove popular and we are seeing our customers from Edinburgh to Exeter using the scheme to get onto or move up the housing ladder," Redfern said in a statement.

"In this improved environment, we remain focused on the longer term; increasing our investment in the training of the next generation of homebuilders and delivering on our commitments to local communities."
