"... it will be especially troubling to anyone still holding shares in Britain's hard-pressed housebuilding sector — which, having fallen 48 per cent this year, almost all of that in the past six months, is already one of the stock market's worst performers."

Wow! That's a savage blow for the building trade. Correct me if I'm wrong but my understanding is that drops in new build numbers and builder share prices are indicators of future house price falls (sales prices lag behind the builder's share prices.)

Nice :)
