Tworzenie stron wwwBritain's housebuilders are building fewer homes in the face of tighter mortgage lending and an uncertain price outlook, but slashing volumes and costs may not be enough to lure back investors to the battered sector. Britain's major builders completed fewer homes last year - about 76,000, down around 10 per cent on 2006 - as higher interest rates and the global credit crunch drove away buyers. And things are set to get worse, with analysts predicting 10-16 per cent fewer new homes this year, a price fall of around three to five per cent and a drop of some 20 per cent in transactions. Such worries have pushed shares of major house builders including Barratt and Taylor Wimpey down more than 50 per cent in the past six months. The stocks have recouped some of the losses since mid-January, as value investors entered the market, but analysts warn of tougher times ahead and prolonged volatility, as data so far sends mixed signals on the market conditions. "Tighter credit is the major constraint, and this is unlikely to change for a while. So no one is expecting that a short, sharp shock will be followed by a swift, V-shaped recovery," Charles Stanley analyst Tom Gidley-Kitchin said. Citigroup and KBC analysts agree the sector is cheap, but they caution that any revaluation is unlikely until late next month and May when more solid data on the spring selling season is available. 1.
