Reply to: oh dear (tm): Exodus from EU may spark correction in the rental market

No doubt they asked the top managers in the international companies. The top managers want to stay in so there is a ready supply of cheap migrants to do menial tasks.

Immigration only benefits the rich. Their views are not objective.

On that basis, vote leave.

International companies could flee from London if the UK severs ties with Europe finds survey

Up to 200,000 workers could leave London if the UK exits the European Union, resulting in a huge correction in commercial property prices, research has found.

A study conducted exclusively for The Telegraph by property information group Geophy found that a predicted exodus of international companies from London if the UK severs ties with Europe could bring up to 1.6m sq m of commercial property back onto the rental market – and could mean price corrections of more than 35pc in some areas of the City of London.

The research looked at how international companies could look to reposition themselves post-Brexit, focusing on US and Asian banks and financial services companies who currently have offices in the capital.

This would have never happened under Labour...

How many other companies would be more interested in us if we leave the EU? #feckthebalancedargument

There is nothing more slow, painful, stressful, infuriating, convoluted, expensive, outdated, backward, incompetent, nonsensical & tedious as buying a property in England.

Good luck.

Yes there is. Buying one in Scotland with the daft "Offers Over" and the nail biting anxiety as you wait for an answer on your sealed envelope with all the attributes you have listed to still to come.

Buying property is the biggest investment in life of almost everybody in UK, yet it's so slow

I am already in process of buying a flat - got survey done, solicitor looking at draft contracts, all rather slow

Takes longer with leasehold properties. Hope you've given the lease a good once over.

Have not seen the documents, survey seems OK.

So you might finally be able to afford a flat?

House prices and rents in London need to come down.

But companies will not leave London. Who wants to relocate to some foreign place where they don't speak American?

Oh so because you and I eat our croissants correctly and don't buy ones from Tesco we are productive.

Not just that, but we are also very talented and modest too

[SueEllen]

That's because they know how to eat correctly their croissants

As I stated French workers are more productive than UK ones. However sacking them is damn hard....

Or as it's more expensive to employer people in France you employ less of them and so they are more productive. In the UK you can employ people on various contracts and they still count as being employed even if they do 4 hours a week, so productivity is lower.
