1 in 3 chance of London’s property market crashing by 2019?
August 30, 2018
We can all see for ourselves that there is a slow down of price hikes in London and also out to some others parts of the country. Brexit and the scaremongering behind ‘a hard Brexit‘ and a ‘no deal Brexit‘ are making some fearful of a crash in the UK and of course a possible financial effect on investors within the real estate market. The Daily Mail online leads with a strong and damaging headline of a predicted property market crash along with statements such as a significant correction being due. Is this part of the hurricane of false comments surrounding Brexit that circles around us these days, or is there something more to it and in deed a long awaited correction is due very soon?
