  • Like it or not the housing market is all about speculative investment

    Not really true either, I don't think. Even though large numbers of people have been investing in the market speculatively , most of the houses they bought are still lived in. Ok, so there's a very, very small number of "buy-to-leave" properties kept empty — but even if these were all sold, my guess is that there would still be more people wanting to live in London than there are houses available for them.

  • Since 2011 London population has increased by around 120k every year. If Brexit and cheap Pound mean people are moving elsewhere in Europe there could be a lot less demand. Apparently house prices in Fulham ave dropped 10%, partly because of expats moving back to Europe.
