Scots housing market lags behind south

Housebuilder Bellway sold 300 homes in Scotland, just 36% of the usual level, over the last year as the housing market lagged behind a resurgent South.

The company, which sold well over 800 homes a year north of the border in the previous two years, said it is buying up land and reopening mothballed sites in the south of England.
