Which UK house builders shares should I buy?

Question

I want to buy shares in a UK housebuilder while the prices are at rock bottom, as part of a diversified portfolio, I know I should do research, this question is part of my research.

Answer 1

I think its a long way b4 they go "Rock Bottom"

Buying shares in housing within the next few years can be compared to throwing you money down the toilet.

US dollars may be another matter, They have been on a decline for about five years or so. After the elections the dollar may rise with confidence.

Answer 2

None at the moment, alot of companys could go bust!

Answer 3

l would buy the worst basket case and that is Taylor wimpey they are the biggest and so recovery would be swiftest from the largest house builder.They are heavily in debt and it is currently being refinanced.Leave for a few days and buy at 50p.Sell at £2.50 2 years later.Barratts is still worth a punt,less debts but has risen quite a bit (£10 though last year)

These are the two that are always in the limelight.Berkeley Group is well run,but has not dropped as much.

l bought Barratts at 31p and stupidly sold at 47.5p,now they are 127p

Answer 4

do not buy any house builders, the market has not bottomed and it's nowhere in sight. there will likely be many companies going out of business or stronger players buying weaker ones, but overall looks rather bleak.

Answer 5

maybe companies that build Eco houses?
