LSL Property Services PLC, down 13% at 229.00p, 12-month range 211.00p-411.00p. The company says trading conditions since its first half have been trickier than expected, amid mortgage market turmoil. "Across the market, this has given rise to a reduction in mortgage activity and new house sales, and an increase in fall-throughs of previously agreed sales," LSL said. It means there is a "wider range" of full-year outcomes than expected.
