Leaving the EU would quite probably cause a crash in the rental market and knock on effect on the price of houses.

Are you saying the shortage is mainly due to EU migrants?

If we left the EU we would probably taper leavers and many of the Eastern Europeans seem to be marrying & breeding with the locals so those would probably stay.

Inflation as usual will reward those borrowing.
