If we vote for Brexit what happens
Comments

was thinking.....there must be higher living/running costs associated with the properties and areas that are in a bubble and susceptible to a crash so any money saved buying at the bottom of a crash would start getting eaten away by these costs?
or have I missed something

I think a lot of people are looking for things that might indicate prices are falling and Giving them much to much credence this has been going on with HPC crowd for a long time. Prices could be falling but there is no firm evidence yet.
There won't be any evidence until the LR data comes out for July at the very earliest, and that will probably show (massively) reduced supply rather than price drops. It's a speculator's market, everyone wants to time it right.
The only things we have so far are anecdotes about Central London prices sinking, housebuilder shares slumping, and valuers downgrading prices. Plus some agents struggling because they presumably can't get sellers to reduce prices down to where they need to be."The only man who makes money from a gold rush is the one selling the shovels..."0 -

But Farage showed Syrian refugees on his poster, and surely he wouldn't lie!I am not a financial adviser and neither do I play one on television. I might occasionally give bad advice but at least it's free.

And all that is a million miles from where were sentiment wise at the height of the bubble mania, that with the Brexit vote has me feeling very positive TBH.0 -

We both agree that immigration is NOT in the best interest of the people of the UK.
Whereas I think it's very much in our best interests. Have a read of the New Scientist article that I linked to.
What this shows is that those voting leave and those voting remain feel very differently on a number of key issues.

The "Do you think of the following as a force for good ..." chart is the most interesting. In addition to not liking the EU, leave voters don't *tend* to like immigration, multi-culturalism, feminism, social liberalism, the environment, or globalisation.
It's no wonder they don't see eye to eye with remain voters, who *tend* to be younger, harder working, and better educated.I am not a financial adviser and neither do I play one on television. I might occasionally give bad advice but at least it's free.

Brexit seems like a wise move if the events of the weekend in Germany are an indicator. Hopefully the UK will be out by the time Germany starts doling out EU passports to the extremists who came in under the cover of the Syrian refugee crisis.“Britain- A friend to all, beholden to none”. 🇬🇧0
