  • Sell now, wait for Brexit to tear the arse out of the market

    As someone making steps towards buying (not London), should I be sitting tight?

  • Yes! No! Maybe!

  • Your guess is as good as anyone else's.

    When I first bought in London I had people warning me prices were unsustainable. They probably still are, but keep going up.

  • The worst thing you can do is buy at the top of the market and sell at the bottom. or worse, be forced to sell at the bottom. If as @Dammit suggests Brexit kills the housing market we'll have lots of other problems to worry about, like the collapse of our economy.

    Otherwise, you'll be fine.

  • if interest rates went up significantly it would ruin the London market as borrowing huge sums of money would be untenable for most. I don't think that would happen as it would also ruin the spending power of a lot of the nation.

    If inflation goes rampant we are fucked.

  • Depends how long you want to live there and how your requirements for space may change (kids?). If you can pay the mortgage in a variety of stress scenarios you can ride out any crash and hopefully be OK on the other side.

  • A sweet fixie will hold it's value
