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.

hi tank that news is about three to four weeks old??????????SO WHAT NEW NEWS ARE YOU ON ABOUT?????OR ISIT YOU DON0T KNOW ANYTHING MORE THAN THE REST OF US????

you will see that i was correct on 3rd march .

Meanwhile, confidence among US housebuilders is showing no signs of picking up although, according to the National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo sentiment index for February, it getting any worse. The index stayed at 16 for the fourth month in a row, in line with market expectations. A reading below 50 indicates pessimists were in the majority.

there are so many problems attaching to the UK housing market at the moment, ranging from increasing unemployment, falling disposable income, falling house prices linking to negative equity and above all, a total dearth of mortgage funding.

for sure there will be a turn-around, and i certainly think the gov't was correct to take the drastic measures it did, but i don't see much recovery for 12 and maybe 18 months

cynic .good points . but people are paying more in rent than they would buying .folk who buy are not daft they will buy . that is my view and putting my money in what i think will happen. looking for 60p by june

contrary to opinion sp seems to be climbing slowly.....long may it continue

cynic just bough 29198 lloys cost 19635

your point is equally valid re renting .... it is indeed one of the anomalies EXCEPT that peeps cannot get mortgages

like your confidence tanker, have got a stack of lloy and hbos from the good times....would like to see 1.50p plus make me very happy.,.

lloysto say over 4b profit and fair value 105p

back to TW very close to selling N/A ASSETS
