    There will be no Brexit dividend for Britain.

    Not just a day, just a few mins (As Borris withdrew), I was quite surprised at what a short price Gove was immediately after Borris withdrew (about 9/2) bearing in mind that he might appear as untrustworthy. He is currently 8/1, but who knows what other twists and turns will be introduced before this is played out.

    What are the odds now.
    Do you have a link as I would quite like to follow the betting.
    Thanks

    2 houses in my town dropped their asking price today (south west). So it begins!

    She also said there would be no free movement after we leave. Which surprised me TBH.
    If I don't reply to your post,
    you're probably on my ignore list.

    I spoke to my mortgage advisor yesterday and he was saying things won't change any time soon. He thinks that since it will be two years until we actually leave the EU, things won't start changing until the treaty is signed and again when we leave.

    This is just his opinion.

    Only Brokers are under the misconception that a massive change hasn't already occurred. Who wants to risk high LTV lending in a falling market, one with potentially no bottom?

    Rics -

    Which is a round about way of saying prices have fallen already and will continue to do so/.

    Here's a Guardian article about it.

    Quite a different take on what is possible to reduce/ deter immigration and still stay within EU rules. If some of these ideas had been implemented remain would've won by a landslide.

    She said reducing net EU migration need not mean undermining the principle of free movement. Well yes so why didn't the government do something about it earlier - it was obvious immigration was people's biggest concern. It's not even as if they argued how brilliant it was because they set such a low migration target.

    They could have done UKIP without a referendum if they thought this version of free movement was correct and acted upon it.

    I genuinely wonder what the house price crash lot get out of their doom sayings.

    If they were actually any good at it they would not be posting on here as they would have made a fortune in predicting the market last time and would now be multi millionaires living on their own island somewhere (doubtless predicting that those houses were about to crash too)

    Indeed. Plus the fact that many of them have been saying it for years and years.

    Perhaps they'll be right one day, but many of the thousands of people who have bought in the meantime will have been happily living in their houses and will be buffered by increased equity.

    tl;dr - if you think of property as a home or long-term investment, you won't get stung by a big crash.
