The Americans reading this thread are not fully going to understand just how insanely regarded this bet was. What about the state of the current UK housing market enticed you into this?!
Well OP, you're in good company. UK passive evangelists @Monevator evidently tipping Persimmon and Berkeley Group from the comments on their naughty active 'Mogul' tier on Friday: https://monevator.com/their-first-home-the-next-buying-opportunity-members/ Can't say I'm feeling a warm glow when it comes to home builders here: - UK TFR 1.39 and falling. Population rise flattening out fast. London population down. Massive hostility to more immigration. All = fewer eventually buyers. - Planning system since 1947 prevents building at scale. - Crashes every 17 or so years in 1974, 1991, 2009 and arguably now. Central London prices (especially flats) falling like a brick (average Westminster selling price down £1.5 mn to £1.2 mn last year IIRC). Where London goes rest of UK tends to follow. - UK energy dependency means uniquely exposed to imported inflation (especially on LNG) and no sign rate cycle anywhere near topping. - Massive overhang of BTL flats being sold due to successive governments (from 2015 onwards) war on landlords. The numbers don't work. That gums up the entry tier on home selling and eventually effects reach up the housing ladder. - Grenfell / cladding remediation throwing more spanners in the works. What starts in flats doesn't stay in flats. There's no magic protective force field around new home builders. Then again, buy when there's blood in the streets and all that.....I your brave (spoiler alert, I ain't).
In 5 years time most of Europe will drive electric cars with current crazos in charge with the white hause, and the petrol wars that are ruining millions and billions of people’s economies. We have diesel selling for £2 litres in the UK let that sink in. EV s are flying of the shelves London is 50-60 % electric cars and 90% electric buses. The rest of the country will follow soon 5 years
The UK is no place for the rational investor. The country is run by people who aren’t qualified to be members of a local PTA.
Thank you, I appreciate that- And yes, the rent is unfortunately too damn high even for a studio, especially in the UK where the average post-tax salary barely covers the average rent in cities 😭 Surprisingly trading options was the only way I was able to afford food and bills, just trying to get back on my feet after a few unexpected flat repair/healthcare expenses :/
Yeah, we UK) aren’t building anywhere near as many houses as we need to. Also the markets fucked. Also interest rates are fucked. Also wages are too low to afford the houses. Also new build house quality is shit so no one wants to buy the houses. Good thing you only invested $132k😂
I guess you don't watch any news from the UK, Spain or France, let alone Sweden's elections.
Dude man, the UK isn’t doing well at all…. Why?!!!

Planning system remains difficult. Build costs have sky rocketed post Brexit and post COVID because of the cost of materials and labour. The cost of delivering infrastructure and utilities (eg electricity, pottable water, and foul water capacity) has sky rocketed. Utilities aren't even available at any cost in many places due to water system and grid capacity constraints. And the economy is really not in great shape (which hits personal and corporate earnings, and the commercial occupational leasing property market). Developing most types of property at scale in the UK is incredibly financially difficult, and in many places, land values are effectively negative. But Vistry takes the biscuit. It went through huge M&A driven growth in the run up to it's 'difficult patch'. Huge cultural and practical company integration issues. Huge competency issues (see prior profit warning when QS's teams massively underestimated build costs in certain regions). Demotivated C-Suite. If you want to own equities, buy an all world tracker and forget about it for at least a decade. If you need the money sooner, don't take punts on equities, and certainly don't cannonball your savings into companies and industries that you can't get under the hood of. An investor.

????? As property developer I tell people the profit you make from property is to be put in your ISA, SASS pension and stock bonds. Diversity in investment is the best way to avoid losses. UK property market if you going invest on it requires you to be patient either buying horrible properties and fixing it or holding it for years.

The wealth gap irl is astonishing. Per capital gap of UK is similar to Alabama
The real problem in all of that back then was Kwarteng as Chancellor. He had studied the impact of fiscal policy on markets first had at a hedge fund etc and at uni. The guy knew enough to certainly know better but supported Truss and her move too fast and break things approach irrespective. The public in the UK continue to fall for the “this is all due to Truss” line every time. It’s well past this now and hasn’t made a difference for years….its smart politics from Labour but omg how stupid are people in the UK in general to believe this today. About as well informed as the investment in Vistry this post is about (seriously?? A housebuilder when we’ve got an ongoing energy crisis and prohibitively high mortgage rates being determined by a compulsive liar in the White House at war with Iran??). Bonkers.
They went bankrupt over 5 years ago, the biggest construction collapse in UK history i think.

Complete and utter economic illiteracy and undoubtedly helps you to confirm your political views. Trust didn’t last longer than a lettuce and somehow higher rates today than the rest of the G7 is entirely her fault? Absolute mug’s view. The UK has higher inflation than elsewhere due to horrendous energy policies resulting in massive energy insecurity and an idiot premium consumers have to suffer as a result, a lack of approvals on new building projects, scarcity of capital due to extreme overseas investment bias relative to other G7 countries (there’s no real incentive for U.K. based individuals to choose to invest there rather than abroad from a tax perspective). I’m sorry but if you think this is due to Truss you a deluded. It’s been due to decades of Labour and Tory negligence and failing to plan for the future.

Damn that a high risk investment, putting £100k into a relatively small UK firm. I would not bat an eyelid had you put that much into NVIDIA or AMD/Apple/Microsoft etc but this?
"They" said building homes in the UK was virtually impossible because everyone objects. "They" are the non-dom owners of newspapers, businesses and landowners who don't want to have to answer to anyone when they want to make even more money.
This is absolute rubbish. [https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/crx2zz401935o](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/crx2zz401935o) They literally said 6 days ago that they reckon they'll get it done by 2039, which is only 4 years later than they initially planned. 🤡 /s Meanwhile, China will probably have built 25 new airports and 50 runways by 2030. GG UK
Don't overthink it. The UK's cooked and nobody wants to live here anymore.
You literally picked the worse plc housebuilder in the UK. Why did you pick Vistry over the others? Vistry decided to change their building model and operate a partnership model. They mainly focused on building out for single family build to rent or registered providers. Issue was, with these models, the investor / register provider enters into a fixed price contract with Vistry and if you don't predict inflation right in the contract you are in trouble, which is what happened to them. This is why compared to the other big PLC's they have seen massive losses. Persimmon, Taylor Wimpy or Barretts Redrow would have been a better shout. A lot of the grant funding also got stalled as we switched to new rounds in April 2026 which has delayed some starts too Though, government is putting in a lot of grant funding and now reintroducing a help to buy type scheme (your first home), so the plc estate housebuilders are about to get a lot of help.
UK housing is fucked - look at the state of london.
Nothing about the UK home construction industry is a good business.
UK takes ages to build anything, look at the third runway for Heathrow Airport as an example. Unless there is a proper catalyst for any of the home builders I’ll probably stay away from them tbh.
Logically it makes a lot of sense. The Government promised to build lots and lots of new homes. Big housebuilders are sat on large amounts of land ready to be used and there is such population growth that demand is vastly outstripping supply. The reality is that it's incredibly difficult to build in the UK at the moment, for many reasons.
Your account is in £ so I take it you are resident in the UK. What made you think this was a good idea? Have you ever been outside?
That is indeed a real photo. The UK are building massive warehouses and AI bases in close proximity to residential houses. What could possibly go wrong?
Why? Housebuilding at it's lowest levels in decades... UK literally famous for a overly complex, prohibitive and over regulated system that means nothing gets built.
UK mortgage rates are high and demand for houses has slowed because of this - people struggle to afford
Was he building the UK economy
You might want to look at what is actually happening outside the US before lecturing people about economics. “Do you seriously think any sane country would allow a heavily subsidized product to flood their country?” Yes. Look at Europe. The EU investigated Chinese EV subsidies, concluded they were unfair, imposed countervailing duties — 17% on BYD, 18.8% on Geely and 35.3% on SAIC — and STILL allows these manufacturers to sell their cars across the EU. It didn't ban them. It adjusted the playing field and let consumers decide. And consumers are buying them. Across the broader European market — EU + UK + EFTA — Chinese brands reached about 11.3% of new-car registrations in August 2026, up from 7.1% only a year earlier. That isn't some hypothetical future Chinese invasion. It's happening right now. Look at the January–August numbers: BYD: 234,099 cars, +144% Chery: 207,871, +280% SAIC/MG: 230,290, +20% Leapmotor: 73,297, +450% BYD alone is now selling more cars in Europe than Tesla over that period: 234,099 versus Tesla's 191,787. And in August alone: BYD: +128% YoY, 3.1% European market share, up from 1.4% Chery: +218%, 2.7% share, up from 0.9% SAIC/MG: +32%, 2.5% share Leapmotor: +220%, 0.9% share, up from 0.3% Those aren't internet commenters “demanding BYDs.” Those are actual vehicle registrations by actual customers. Even ACEA — the association representing Europe's established manufacturers — says cars manufactured in China already accounted for about 7% of EU car sales in 2025. So your argument that “no sane country would allow this” falls apart immediately. One of the world's largest and most heavily regulated automotive markets is allowing it right now. Europe isn't naïve about Chinese subsidies either; that's precisely why it imposed countervailing tariffs. The difference is that tariffs are not the same thing as banning competition. You can argue that Chinese state support gives BYD an unfair cost advantage. That's a legitimate discussion. You can argue that Europe should protect domestic manufacturing more aggressively. Also legitimate. But pretending there is no genuine demand for Chinese cars, or that allowing them into a major Western market would be economically unthinkable, is contradicted by what is already happening in Europe. BYD +144%. Chery +280%. Leapmotor +450%. Chinese brands already above 11% of the European market in August. At that point, saying it's all just “Tesla haters desperately wanting BYD” isn't analysis. It's coping.
>European's have way less fat people 66% of Adults in the UK are overweight, 30% are obese. THey don't have any of the things you just said.
People keep mentioning this show to me. Maybe I should check it out🤔. My whole interest was triggered by those articles saying that a UK vacation would be cheap (during 2022) and I thought that the UK was resilient and the pound's value would recover some. Probably a very bad thesis lol.
You can't say cuck without UK... lol, imgur banned
The Model Y was the best selling car in the *World* in 2023, missed it by a hair in 2024. EU/UK/EFTA registrations are up ~43% YTD vs ~39% growth for the broader BEV market. 'Tesla is basically a dead fish' is a both a joke and a reddit pipedream.
its crazy how fucked europe is .... and its even crazier that EU leaders wont even consider thinking about considering the problem untill after they return form thier 1 year vacation. mean while the UK is asking the problem is has allergies.
adidas has completely won the street fashion culture war here in the UK
16 p/e because the net income is historically low, with historically low margins. Price to sales is now at 1.1 (!), which is super cheap. I know Nike isnt currently as cool as it used to be but it still shifts 50bn a year, and is still ubiquitous where I live (the UK). I don't think a brand this ubiquitous that sells so much can fall much more than 50bn market cap before being bought out.

In the UK if we trade more than 4 trades, tax free allowance disappears
You’ve been reading it for a long time, because it’s been true for a long time. The fundamentals have been upside down for quite a while. Stocks are more overvalued that before the dot com bubble. A big difference is that AI provides much more value than a random website that was useless. There is a lot a value yet to be realized from AI, so theoretically the market could absorb this for a while. What is unique right now is the US debt. Our debt is 125% of our GDP, third highest in the world. Japan has the highest, but theirs is almost entirely held inside the country in the Yen, so it’s more sustainable. Those around us, like Italy, France, UK, etc. are facing serious issues right now. Yet here we stand with our thumbs not ass. We’ve been downgraded once already, so we are now AA debt, not AAA. We were downgraded partly because nobody here will do anything about the debt crisis. And it is a crisis. Our spending, and lack of revenue (taxes), is so out of hand that we are already borrowing just to pay the interest on our debt. Interest payments are nearly 20% of our budget - more than our defense spending. On top of this, there is pressure on the dollar like we’ve never seen. I don’t mean inflation, which is pretty good. 20 years ago we were the unquestioned world currency. While still true, the world has been pushing for a second currency for a while and the dollar stranglehold is starting to show some cracks. Plus, we aren’t viewed like we aren’t viewed like we used to be. We are not good partners for anyone anymore, including our closest allies. So yeah, you’ve been hearing this for a while, because it’s been true for a while. Ignore at your own risk.
lets goo UK in talks again
Pumps going dry in France was because one specific company was undercutting prices as an anticompetitive tactic to push out competitors. Oil and refined products is sold on an open global market - if supply in the Middle East is reduced, people buy more from other sources - but reduced supply means that prices go up as bidding increases to secure suppliers. This is why when people talk about bullshit like "lets drill more for our own oil in the North Sea" like certain people are saying in the UK, they show that they do not understand how the oil market works. Or how the oil industry in general works.
I bet there's some buybacks. Maybe even moving shit around. UK 30y just shot up.

Canadian here. You've permanently fucked your relationship with our country. Glad to see you're taking on other enemies like... the UK and France while cozying up to Russia, China and North Korea.
Yes nice. For non-US residents we can’t buy LPs like EPD as US charges us massive tax. For the others we pay 15% WHT. UK stocks have no WHT (for anyone) which makes companies like BTI attractive. We can buy a mid stream UCITS ETF which includes some LPs - I have a position in it - current dividend yield around 5%. Which is not bad as there is no WHT. REITS are looking more attractive unless you think long term bond yields are going alot higher.
Check out NATWEST bank in UK, 6% dividend and still undervalued compared to market. The situation is the same for several of banks in EU/UK - just no as much interest as in US for capital.
UK traders sold off all the NIKKEI gains (๑•̀ᗝ•́)૭
Worth separating two decisions here. Getting in was one timing call; pulling out now and waiting for a better moment adds two more (when to sell, when to buy back), and each of those can be wrong too. For what it's worth, Vanguard's 2012 study ("Dollar-cost averaging just means taking risk later") found that investing a lump sum beat spreading it over 12 months in roughly two-thirds of historical periods across the US, UK and Australia, simply because markets rise more often than they fall. A dip in the first week after buying is the normal case, not proof of a bad entry. The more useful question is whether this money really has a long horizon; any part you might need in the next few years was never a stock decision in the first place.
6 trillion btw is more than the GDPs of the UK (4.3 tn) or Germany (5.5 tn)
I think this UK air base 'terror attack' is just a psyop. They even released the 'terrorists' on bail.
Ok, but in all seriousness - did we actually recover and went back into the golden age? It feels like when you are running a marathon but you were rushing at first so now you are just trying to make it to the end. You are still running but there's no breath to catch. 2008's crisis ended but it didn't feel like it went back to normal or better after that. At least not in the UK.

$9 a gallon in the UK, I wish we had your prices. We've always been more expensive than the states though...
Yeah and what about if you dumped it all at the start of the year? For example, in the UK the start of the tax year is around the 7th of April, which is when the yearly savings limit for ISAs resets. But also funnily has coincided with the April Bullshit of the past couple of years (eg, Liberation Day). So if I'd put 12k in on those dates, I'd have done WAY better than putting in 1k a month. Even though that would also just be pure lucky. But lump sums seem better than a monthly trickle, if you have the money.
As someone not from US, I found out rates were around 7% about 3 days ago. That sounds crazy to me, but in the same articles it mentioned how people locked rates at 2-3% in 2021-2023. I assume you guys can lock rate for the duration of mortgage term? I thought we had high rates on UK…
it’s also worth noting that when this run on the bonds happened to the UK, the prime minister was out after serving only a few weeks. Maybe time for Mango to go retirement home?
when this type of run on the bond market happened to the UK after the bad liz truss budget, the bank of england stepping in and bought bonds then tactically offloaded them, why is the US fed doing absolutely nothing?

Yeah I think about this a lot. I'm English but looking over at you guys, I think the tide will turn back to being pro-immigration. Immigration is built into the fabric of your country and you at least have a good 50% of people who aren't hostile to it unlike many European countries. Regardless, global population decline will kick in within the next few decades. I think the estimates have it at about 2060 where the world population tops out? That's assuming birth rates remain the same and there's no reason to believe they won't continue declining. With regards to Japan, they're a special case. Robotics and a pretty insane working culture are what set then apart. I don't know what things are like in the US, but can you imagine automation really taking off? I definitely can't over here in the UK. Not at Japanese levels. Bear in mind that we have a decent portion of people arguing that we (as customers) should be paid to use self-checkouts. Don't know if you have that there. But then there's AI. Fuck knows where that lands us. Any prediction will likely be wrong, but my best guess it that AI basically wipes out most office jobs. We have mass unemployment and people are forced into manual work and particularly care work. Consumerism will likely decline, but manufacturing is really more about defence anyway (at least here it is) and there will always be a need for that regardless of population sizes. As we enter into a world of "might is right" again too, I can see defence being a really solid play.
Where are the customers? Where is the Profit? I'm not saying he is right on everything, but AI is clearly not in a healthy state and the whole business model is questionable. AI companies are not profitable and the enormous investments you are talking about are essentially wasted. This is not long lasting infrastructure. By the time most of these DCs will be built, the support life cycle for the hardware will be over or have 1-2 years left. Customers are incurring higher and higher costs building harnesses around inherently untrustworthy software and the ones that pushed through are now starting to wrangle with a lot of data privacy regulations and sovereignty requirements. AI isn't useless, but in their drive for first mover advantage, scale and therefore market leadership the industry and the market have gone absolutely mad. It's like the advent of the train in the UK, only that today's AI infrastructure won't be around for 50 years to drive some kind of industrial revolution like those railways did.
Or maybe the UK and Belgian authorities know more than colostitute on Reddit. Hmmm … wonder who’s right?
No. The UK and Belgian governments weren’t “tricked.” Damn you guys sure work hard to change what happened.
So that means it’s ok for Iran to attack civilian targets in the UK and Belgium? Nope.
"we're ending cashless bail". in the UK? what is he talking about?
Ya.. that’s true. Trump and his administration are incompetent, waaaaaay out of their depth, and a bunch of liars. But the UK and Belgium ain’t the USA.. or Israel..
Yup.. Forget the Iranian TERRORIST ATTACKS in the UK & Belgium this year. Whatabout Israel! Never change Reddit.
You wanna try the UK LSE message board, I was in a tungsten miner this summer & it’s the only place some stocks are discussed. The amount of petty arguing on there is unreal, it’s mainly wealthy old timers who’ve been investing for years, they know their shit but they argue like kids.
> UK Police say 5 men arrested under counterterrorism laws near a US-run air base in England will be released on bail.
Is the market tanking because of Iran's attack on UK airbase?
