Housebuilders were on the march in what analysts described as a 'big week' for the Industry statistics given the General Election.

Galliford Try gained 2.1 per cent, or 5p, to 244p, Crest Nicholson added 2 per cent, or 4.8p, to 245p, Persimmon rose 1.5 per cent, or 20p, to 1372p, Barratt Developments increased by 1.2 per cent, or 5.6p, to 477.8p and Taylor Wimpey edged up 1.2 per cent, or 1.65p, to 143.8p.

The rally came as Nationwide revealed house prices rose 0.2 per cent in June despite high mortgage rates denting demand among would-be buyers.

The industry is also in focus ahead of Thursday's poll with Labour planning to build 1.5m new homes over the next parliament - or 300,000 a year - should it win power.

While this is seen as ambitious, plans to shake-up the planning system and build more affordable homes could benefit the sector. 

The Bank of England is also expected to cut interest rates once the election is out of the way.

Danni Hewson, head of financial analysis at AJ Bell, said: 'It could be a big week for housebuilders.

'For developers and their shareholders, it could be the klaxon call that gets Britain building, though there will undoubtedly be many uncomfortable discussions about exactly where development would best serve the country.'

It was not just the election here making headlines, however, with trading rooms gripped by the rise of Marine Le Pen in France.
