    Of what, that my original prediction of this house selling at 70k will be correct?

    We would never sell at that price! Making our selves short 85 lowest.

    With Hard Brexit looming I think that may be optimistic, can`t believe you didn`t take 78.

    Ignore crashy. He’s well known as a bitter man in his 50s living in a crumby bedsit having made bad predictions and now gives poor advice based solely on his own bitterness. I pay more heed to people who’ve done well.

    Parliament, the EU and the PM don’t want a hard brexit and even the bookies give it 28/1, although undoubteldy the continuing uncertainty is affecting sentiment.

    Houses are not liquid and sometimes it takes a while to find the right buyer.
    Webuyanyhouse are well known to drop the price closer to exchange knowing people are desperate, so many people would advise you against them.

    I’d give it even less chance than 1000/1 of a hard Brexit. Reason? It can only happen if EU veto an extension but it isn’t in their interest to do so, they’d have free reign to give a long extension, which benefits the EU project image.

    What if May tried to do no deal on her own? JC will call a VONC which will 100% pass as their are enough conservatives who are more than happy to see the government fall than a no deal Brexit.

    So guys, don’t worry about a no deal happening. Ironically, even as a remain voter, I’d rather a no deal than Theresa May’s deal, but alas, deadlock.
