According to the Daily Telegraph report, facing the current situation of stagnant demand for new houses, the Labour government is considering reintroducing a new version of the previously discontinued "home buying assistance program" aimed at providing support for first-time homebuyers. Boosted by the news, UK real estate stocks continued to rise, with several developers' stock prices increasing, led by Crest Nicholson with a rise of 8.2%; Vistry up 5.2%, Persimmon up 2.8%, Taylor Wimpey up 2.7%, Bellway up 1.8%, and Berkeley Group up 0.6%. However, Barratt Redrow's stock price fell against the market trend by 3.6% due to increased profit pressures shown in the half-year report.
