Listed housebuilders suffered share price slides of between four and seven per cent yesterday
Housebuilders have seen their share prices slide following George Osborne’s summer budget.
A sample of seven housebuilders saw share price decreases of between four and seven per cent yesterday, as investors reacted to the news that tax relief on mortgage payments is to be restricted to the basic rate of tax for those buying to let.
Housebuilders back in May saw their share prices jump following the UK General election that saw the Conservatives form a majority government.
