Feb 9 (Reuters) - UK housebuilder Bellway Plc on Thursday flagged challenging market conditions and said it would build fewer homes this fiscal year than the last, as a surge in borrowing costs and broader inflationary pressures drive homebuyers away. The FTSE MidCap firm, which constructs everything from one-bedroom apartments to six-bedroom family homes and luxury penthouses, said it would build 11,000 homes in the year ending July 31, 198 units lower than a year ago.
