Bradford and Bingley shares...

HI, i've got a few B&B shares (5,500) i wandering if anyone had any ideas what value (if any) per share they will be valued at? i understand that a valuer has been appointed by the government - any ideas when they'll be valued by?
Also i understand (but could be wrong) that a similar process took place for Northern Rock shares that decided on a value of zero? is it likely to be the same for B&B..?!

Thanks, Jim.

    I think you'll be lucky to get anything for them. On the Northern Rock thing, I think that was the provisional decision but not the final one, so it does look likely that NR shareholders will get nothing.

    It's anyone's guess really, but NR doesn't set a good precedent.

  • Thanks, i'll not book the Mauritius holiday just yet then!
  • Check out the UKSA (UK Shareholders Assn) as they are campaigning for a decent valuation of the shares. They believe a fair value is 80p per share:

    I think the highlights above should give a clue to the worth of BB shares.

    I'm sure they do. Unfortunately no-one else does.
  • Thanks womble, it makes interesting reading. Some hope for me then, just hope that cardsharps in deciding the amount!!

    They believed that a "fair value" for Northern Rock shares was significantly higher than when they were eventually suspended...
