Director dealings: Urban and Civic director ups stake

Duncan Hunter, independent non-executive director of property developer Urban and Civic, acquired 100,000 ordinary shares in the London-listed firm on Thursday.

Hunter, who is also the executive chairman over at EQL Capital, purchased the shares at an average cost of 305p for a total value of £305,000.

Urban & Civic said it wanted to double the number of sites it had in development.

When turning in its results for the six months to 31 March, Urban and Civic's net asset value had expanded to £458.8m, up 4.3% from 30 September 2017.

The developer recorded a pre-tax profit of £10.1m, up from £4.2m a year earlier, due to increased housing sales and its disposal of the Hampton Hotel at Stansted Airport.

As of 1625 BST, UANDC shares had grown 0.56% to 1.70p.
