    Come Oct 31 will the uncertainty be extended even more?

    It’s uncertainty that will make the house price correction even lower

    It comes from attaining assets you want to hold onto, resentment and dementia.

    The chip on your shoulder appears to get larger daily.

    Trump recently suggested his strategy just walk away with no deal and refuse to pay them anything

    I’m thinking more and more it will end up no deal, but the uncertainty could be extended even more.....

    Half the population does not own any property at all? How should they pay?

    The government just types zero on the end of their bank account balance

    boom x10

    its called quantitative easing to confuse the simplicity of it
    The thing about chaos is, it's fair.

    The UK should save the divorce bill and build even more affordable homes with the bullions, just walk away. RIP the band aid off in one go, yes it hurts to start with then we can rebuild.

    Slowly taking the plaster off is more painful and even more damaging

    Yet again no calculation or commonsense, just "build loads of houses" and of course flood the market, just join the xenophobes and racists "leave the EU with a no deal". What you hoping for there?.
    You post in a way that gives the impression a big massive wrong is happening to most people in the UK when in fact most people by far are doing OK. If you really want a house roll your sleeves up and start at the beginning like the rest of us and work years/decades to keep that home, it's worth it. Your plan seems to be waiting for people to crash and burn so at some point you can step in.

    I read the posts on HPC and I feel zero sympathy for every single one of them, a good relationship, home, career and never just handed to you pain free, it's something they just do not get.

    They will never come to an agreement

    The EU won’t back down and the brits will never agree to what they want

    It’s going to be no deal chaos

    All we can do is prepare now

    Yep, people who just recently signed on the mortgage line are going to wish they never listened to a bunch of landlords and 1990`s buyers. At least rates are still low but I reckon any further EU break up could see rates spiking, the market just dribbled it`s dummy again because the US doesn`t have much excuse to cut either. Funny old times.
