British homebuilder shares slump on lack of clarity over first-time buyer plan in budget
· Economic Times Markets
Shares of British homebuilders plummeted following finance minister John Healey's budget speech about housing initiatives. The delays surrounding the launch and funding of the awaited 'Your First Home' scheme have analysts worried that it won’t receive long-term financial support.
