Flash Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 The FT today reports that the Paragon CEO, described as "absolute nonsense" the prediction that the BTL market will surge as result of new SIPPS rules. He said "There is a lot of hype about SIPPS creating the next bubble. It's not a mass market product and the flow of business from this will be modest". (sorry I don't have a link) How about that? - straight from the horses mouth! It probably won't stop Brainclamp banging on about it though. Interesting that the FT in their own comment, highlighted that the provision for bad debt at Paragon has risen from £11.1m to £15.9m.

bubbleturbo Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Well, they have got to say that really. These companies are scum and 90% of stuff that is printed is put there for a reason: With little (not enough to cover inflation) or no capital appreciation, BTL properties are basically declining in value. Loads of BTL muppets have piled in and driven rents into the floor. So much so that, as we know, the rent often does not cover the interest on the mortgage, let alone repairs, voids, etc. Paragon are spinning a story to try and prevent more BTL muppets from running to the exits. Some BTL people must think that SIPPS will increase rental supply and plunge rents further and it may now be a good time to sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnlyMe Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 BubbleTurbo Agree, I trust nothing that is written by these people. Maximum profit in minimum time is all they are after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Posted November 24, 2005 Author Share Posted November 24, 2005 Well, they have got to say that really. These companies are scum and 90% of stuff that is printed is put there for a reason: Any public company attempts to carefully manage what is printed about it. Many spend huge sums on PR in the process. It is very important for people like the Paragon CEO to manage investors expectations. i.e. if shareholders are expecting earnings upgrades as a result of SIPPS and it doesn't come, the share price will collapse and CEO could get the boot. Your man here is simply covering his ar5e. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
