FTSE eases from 11-month high as housebuilders retreat

By Atul Prakash LONDON (Reuters) - Britain's top share index edged lower on Wednesday after climbing to an 11-month high in the previous session, with housebuilders giving up some of their recent gains and energy shares dragged lower by weaker oil prices. The FTSE real estate index fell nearly 1 percent after rising for four straight sessions. Shares in Taylor Wimpey, Berkeley Group and Persimmon fell 2.9 to 5.9 percent.
