STOCK WATCH

SHARES in Britain’s second largest listed developer, British Land Company, have been choppy over the past few months amid uncertainty in the property market.

They started climbing in April from around 600p, reaching 674p in mid-May before slipping to less than 630p as the company said it expected uncertainty to persist for some time. Yesterday, however, shares were relatively stable, rising only 0.08pc, or 0.5p, to 631.5. Profits grew 7.4pc over the latest year.
