    Was chatting to a good local EA last week about the Brexit impact around here (Zone 4 London).

    She was saying it really hadn't impacted them greatly at all, a few transactions they had people wanting reductions, usually where they were in a chain and selling elsewhere in London in areas of the market with more BTL/Investor activity (its heavily Owner Occupied round here), and they were getting pressure on the price on their sale.

    Generally though very little impact for them and they basically have nothing left on the market to sell at present, what they had listed is basically all SSTC or Sold now.

    Obviously only one tiny area of London though.

    Of course, of course, that's why asking prices + transaction numbers falling and supply increases...

    Brexit saga has not even started yet, lots of drama yet to come, and the political currents are shifting in the EZ/US, should be fun to watch.

    I fully agree, but I'm surprised that the mere act of voting Brexit didn't have a stronger impact on confidence and sentiment than it has around my neck of the woods anyway.

    My wife put one of her properties on the market last Tuesday, she has just accepted an offer for the full asking price.

    Yes, there are houses selling every day and what? How can you be an uni lecturer when you think one single sale affects the trend?

    Just watch the linked data, are you able to understand it with your phd?

    Sorry I should have realised that you would not understand, so I will spell it out for you, you said asking prices were falling. That is why I pointed out that we got the asking price offered within a week of it going on the market.

    My lectures are delivered to between about 30 to 150 students depending on the module. What do you do for a living.

    I have not read the linked data, Sorry but I was not interested enough.

    I read what I find interesting, pain has got nothing to do with it.
