Nobody move or the estate agents get hurt!

From the BBC:

Some 77% of members asked by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) said that the Brexit impasse was holding back activity.

New buyer enquiries, sales, and homes being put on the market all fell in February, the survey said.

This would mean a "challenging spring" for housing and the economy, it said.

That's the sort of Project Fear article that encouraged people to vote Leave.

B, vote Leave, get cheaper housing! That was the threat, which sadly failed to materialise....

"vote Leave, get cheaper housing!"

It's a monument to the stupidity and arrogance of the ruling classes that they couldn't see that the "vote leave, have your house fall in value" threat aimed at the landowning classes translated to the above when viewed by the landless.

B, exactly :-)

I remain convinced that it was Project Fear wot swung it for Leave.

Mark Wadsworth said...

B, me too, it was getting ridiculous and that just provoked contrarians into thinking "OK, bring it on!"
