If we vote for Brexit what happens
Comments

White voters voted to Leave the EU by 53% to 47%.
“Two thirds (67%) of those describing themselves as Asian voted to Remain, as did three quarters (73%) of black voters.
“Nearly six in ten (58%) of those describing themselves as Christian voted to Leave; seven in 10 Muslims voted to Remain.”
That's a huge number of racist Muslims, Black and Asian voters that wanted to leave.
1 in 4 black people are racist.
1 in 3 Asians are Racist
surely that's what you mean.

Pre April the kinds of places i was looking to buy were going in days...now they are staying unsold, EA's and vendors will slowly cut prices but there is still some delusional mindsets by vendors who are upset they didnt sell earlier in year or 2015 when the london commuter belt was totally booming
I personally dont see a "crash" happening, due to cheap credit and domestic demand for good condition properties, but without doubt there will be reductions and even if you are buying long term home, if you can get it for 15% less which could equate to a 50k saving why wouldnt u wait. Also my partner who is an EA has seen more ppl last week renegotiate down by 10-20% and some vendors have accepted as they realise they could wait and get lower and they need to sell
Anyone who offers high asking prices in todays market is a fool
Wasn`t a lot of domestic "demand" BTL though?0 -

yep a lot of demand for 1/2 bed flats close to a station was going to BTL, who are chain free and sometimes cash buyers.
But these have now dried up massively in the areas I'm looking in0 -

Osborne to cut corporation tax from 20% to less than 15%:George Osborne is planning to slash corporation tax to less than 15 per cent in an effort to woo business deterred from investing in a post-Brexit Britain as part of his new five-point plan to galvanise the economy.
While the chancellor did not backtrack on his warning that leaving the EU could push the country into recession, he told the Financial Times: “We must focus on the horizon and the journey ahead and make the most of the hand we’ve been dealt.”
In his first interview since Britain voted for Brexit, Mr Osborne said he wanted a leading role in shaping Britain’s new economic destiny, laying out plans to build a “super competitive economy” with low business taxes and a global focus.
Mr Osborne wants to set the lowest corporation tax rate of any major economy, announcing a target of less than 15 per cent, down from 20 per cent now. He said Britain should “get on with it” to prove to investors that the country was still “open for business”.

Looks like brexit is already looking good for Gideon. It's bailed him out from failing his fiscal rules and now he gets to cut taxes for business.
I bet he secretly voted leave.0 -
