Re: Furture One major risk is refinancing of loan. If banks want repayment now I think it is game over and 0p. I agree though, you could treat it as an option. Also, if markets tank for whatever reason I cant see this bucking the trend, no can I see the Italian economy bucking the trend if there is a WW recession despite current encouraging signs. Tempted to inevst, but I am resisting the little red guy on my shoulder.
Furture Looking at the company does anyone have a view - I am not invested but wondering whether to buy as an option (quick sale value still in 80p or so even with 50's valn by directors)?Any feedback goodFD
Re: Outlook On investors' interest in buying Italian property at a discount, see today in the FT:[link] TCF's trades at at an implied discount of more than 50%.
Outlook I added this this holding recently at around 88p. With NAV now being 239p, mostly due to the rise of the Euro against the pound, I sense that Laxey Partners may now look for opportunities to realise this investment. They own a considerable portion of this company, and their various funds own about 70% of Spazio which is the main underlying investment of this company. I would think at this price, there may be interest from parties to gain access to Italian property essentially half-price.
