UK: NORTHERN ROCK POSTPONES SALE OF CARE HOMES
Article Abstract:
The sale of its care homes by UK-based mortgage bank Northern Rock has been postponed following the ending of its discussions with property group NHP. The talks began in November 1999, as part of a reorganisation involving branch closures and increased telephone and Internet operations. Northern Rock has confirmed that talks with other interested parties are continuing, and the sale is expected to be completed later in 2000.
