(Reuters) - Countrywide Plc (L:CWD), Britain's largest estate agency by revenue, posted a 9 percent fall in first-half core earnings, as the political uncertainty in the run-up to the spring election deterred customers from finalising transactions.
Adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization fell to 41 million pounds in the six months ended June 30, from 45 million pounds a year earlier, Countrywide said.
