Berkeley Group halts half-built 20 million-pound London housing scheme

By Tom Bergin LONDON (Reuters) - UK housebuilder Berkeley Group Holdings Plc has halted construction at a 20 million-pound luxury housing project in London, it said on Friday. Berkeley Group declined to say why it stopped construction last month at the Barnes Village scheme in southwest London, where homes were expected to sell for up to 5 million pounds, local residents said. "The London market has got a bit tougher post-Brexit," he said, referring to the June referendum on EU membership.
