Savills sees cautious on signs after half-year profit plunge

Profit before tax in the six months to June 30 slumped 69% to £7mln due to higher costs amid closures

Savills PLC (LON:SVS) said it has seen recovery signs since lockdowns were eased globally, mostly in residential markets.

The FTSE 250-listed real estate advisor said it is unclear how quickly trading will return to pre-pandemic levels but low interest rates are favourable for the sector.

Shares were flat at 769.5p in early trades on Thursday.
