negative equity is only a issue if you want to remortgage or sell. Otherwise just wait for the recovery.
Yes, but you'd feel bloody stupid if you bought at £900k months before brexit only to see your gaff being £500k after brexit. It's an event firmly timetabled and a very real chance of an epic fuck up and a slow recovery. The opportunity cost of £4ook is not insignificant.
Anyone with a second property coming to the end of a mid term time scale would be trying to shift it before Brexit I'd have thought.
Apologies to @GwGs

Just as you’d feel stupid if post brexit the £900k house only falls to £850k but interest rates shoot up and that £850k debt becomes unaffordable. You’ll wish you’d locked in on a long term fixed rate at the higher purchase price because it was £2k a month cheaper to service the debt (based on a fictional 4% rise in rates).

Population growth in London > rate at which properties are being built.
Or
Demand > supply
Or to put it another way
