I still hold this one, for diversity in my portfolio. It’s probably one of a few which I go ‘hmm’ at, over whether to continue holding or not. Think I bought when it was on a premium.

Civitas just increased it’s steak on Legal and General according to a RSN released this morning
Of course the shares will fall on the exdivided day sooooo!
@weenie this comes from panic selling. Should have known there was a reason i could get 79.84p for the shares!
“In addition, Civitas Shareholders who are on the register as at the close
of business on 19 May 2023 will also be entitled to receive and retain
the quarterly dividend of 1.425 pence per Civitas Share in respect of the
period from 1 January 2023 to 31 March 2023, as announced by the
Civitas Board earlier today (the “Fourth Quarter Dividend”).”
May still have sold. But Should have done some more research first. As the first thought that came into my mind was “i cant remember receiving a dividend”
Just noticed @weenie you bought with another brocker 3 years ago so you might be able to vote.
Also noticed legal and general own shares, not sure they will be happy with 80p!
Management have excepted an offer at 80p. Estimated NAV 111p
Up 43% on the day. I assume you will be at a loss based on the above statement “think i bought on a premium”
It doesn’t follow that shareholders will vote for it. Although management excepting the offer doesn’t help. Upto you obviously wherever to vote yes or no.
I assume you cant vote as you bought via freetrade?
I voted yes via the sell button.
This is part of my dividend income portfolio so I guess it’s at a loss, not checked. I’ll have to see if AJBell send me the details to vote. I’ll just keep the few I have with Freetrade.
I dodged a bullet with this one after being tempted to invest a few years ago.
The moral of the story?: being a cynical so-and-so can be helpful sometimes.
Nowadays, I try to avoid anything that feels fashionable or esoteric as an investment.

Of all my divi paying investments, this was one of my ‘hmm’ ones and only accounted for less than 3% of the portfolio. I don’t want to rush into anything so will just wait and see.
edit - oh, I see that I said that previously about it being ‘hmm’!

Yeah, I got a sense of Déjà vu when I read that…
I bought in February, I am up 30%, so I must have been at least 10% down as it went up 44% today.
If only every share gave that sort of return every 3 months.
The benefits of luck.
A possible replacement for Civitas is SOHO.
TRIPLE POINT SOCIAL HOUSING.
63% Discount
9.8% dividend
Gearing is 50% but…
“Debt £195 million 13 years interest only fixed at 2.634%”
Already invested the majority of my Civitas money, the remainder will go into SOHO.
RNS today LGEN buying SOHO (social housing same sector) on SOHO site. Time was 16.15pm price up 4.5%.
Probably up on takeover of Civitas.
Also noticed that there is rns on LGEN for the purcase today of soho that’s not normal AND the purcase of Civitas shares on the 5th may.
At least I think it’s purcase.
Either way LGEN doesn’t normal send rns for shares they’ve purchased.
You will have to go to Hargreaves Lansdowne or equivalent for the rns as I cannot post it. I get
“you cannot post a link to that host”
IE cannot post links to Hargreaves Lansdowne

Can’t sell this - please advise what will happen to my shares? Freetrade aren’t replying to my messages from weeks ago!!

I guess this is to do with the takeover which will take the trust private. You can find various announcements from CK Asset Holdings about this via the link below:
Youll get cash in your account when the takeover completes at 80p per share. Date for completion will be available via the rns service.

That date has been and gone, still no money.
Even had message from freetrade a week ago saying they would be paying the monies into accounts
.
Any ideas on holdup?
I got a pop-up in app saying that the stock has been removed and money added. However, I am not able to find that message anymore.
Also, this transaction doesn’t show-up in the activity list… again!
Bought some SOHO with money and have been adding to.
Was up 15%. Today up 2.5%. I have some decent dividends coming in so still buying.
9.4% dividend but freetrade can’t be bothered sorting out pid so minus 20%.
Recent update on property sales
PS … when they eventually arrive.
Week late so far.
