Shares in housebuilders fell dramatically this morning as Taylor Wimpey, Berkeley Group, Barratt Developments and Persimmon all saw loses of nearly 10% in morning trading as the UK was thrown into political turmoil over Brexit.
Taylor Wimpey’s shares fell 9.1% to 147.35p early Thursday afternoon as Berkeley Group saw a 7.05% drop to 3,400p, Barratt slid 8.35% to 500.2p and Persimmon lost 9.52% to 2,128p.
