Brexit uncertainty and a weak market in London and the
South-east have conspired to put housebuilder insolvencies at a four-year high,
according to data obtained by accountancy firm Price Bailey. It said Insolvency
Service figures showed 343 housebuilders went bust in the year to September
2019, up by 26% on the figure last year. The number reflects a difficult market
for SME housebuilders unable to benefit from the government’s Help to Buy
subsidies and hampered by political and economic uncertainty, and equates to a
rise of more than two-thirds on the figure from just four years ago. Read more
