Why would house prices drop? People who are living in them aren't suddenly going to all leave

Yes, exactly - they'll stay put at home, so less movement in market, less demand - price goes down.

Also foreign demand will be reduced, who the fook among the wealthy wants to live in London when they can choose to live in Paris, Vienna, Berlin and have zero hassle? It's not like taxes on the rich are much higher there.

Maybe you should move to London: London house prices suffer biggest slump since 2009, as pound keeps dropping - business live | Business | The Guardian

Indeed a 4% drop in one month and still a few months from a no deal Brexit. Given the scale of redundancies now going on in the City, hardly surprising.

OMG. Not more gloom for house prices? Not going up again?

When will we get some good news and they drop?

Why would house prices drop? People who are living in them aren't suddenly going to all leave and live on the street creating a glut of empty properties. I would have thought the reverse would happen. Loads of cheap £s for foreign buyers would push up prices in the capital which would ripple out through the country.

I imagine the pound and the stock market would have a blip but start to recover eventually as the deadlock would finally be broken and individuals and companies can finally start planning with a bit of certainty again.

Housing crashes don't happen because the population suddenly plummets and everyone leaves their houses. Housing crashes occur when there is a recession usually combined with rising interest rates.

The thing is, the uncertainty has been going on for 3 years now, the blip has been in evidence for 3 years. Still no sign of the easiest deal in history. Still no solution to the Irish border. Still just empty promises and playing the blame game.

I am more certain than ever that Westminster is full of people who don't believe in democracy.

Imagine what will happen to the pound on that day. Not to mention house prices, economic standing etc etc.

Boris Johnson's team considering dissolving parliament in October

The show down is coming soon. Looks like there will be a no confidence vote beforehand for which he'll probably get some Labour support.

It's probably going to be a close one. Interesting though would be whether the Labour MPs who vote for him in the first confidence motion would vote for him in a second one in November with the country falling apart at the seams. No deal Brexit, closely followed by a GE ?

be afraid

Elections decide which party will lie to us.

Referedum is a vote on a specific issue. The result of which will be ignored.

It's not being ignored, but it doesn't seem to be working out.

I'm mixing up people voting for something based on promises & lies, versus people voting for something based on promises and lies.
