Proudly voted remain. A global union of countries is the only way to commit global capital to the rule of law.

It will all get tempered in 2016 by interest rates.
I think the only issue at play is the gap between the rich and poor. My traditionally middle of the road friend said last night ' the bankers can f*ck off out of the county as far as I care, any tax they make for us is lost by them ramping the price up of our family homes '.

Home.co.uk has monthly Asking Price Index, so say something similar.

There will ineviatably be some uptick in asking prices as a result of the huge sigh of relief at the election results.
It may be 3% asking price increase this specific month, but I'd predict both asking and achieved prices will be up 5-10% over 2015 as a whole.0 -

It is month specific, uncertainty of who would win the election had a dampening effect that has now been released, though expect much lower rise next month

Yes, I'd agree with that analysis.
Now that Labour's threat of a so-called mansion tax has been rejected by the electorate, we would expect a temporary blip up on asking prices and perhaps a more muted rise for the rest of the year.0
