Renton 21606 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 (edited) BoE predicting house prices to decrease by a third in the event of no deal. Cheers CT. We can add that to food prices going through the roof and food shortages, medicine shortages, planes grounded, driving licenses not valid abroad, loss of EHIC, loss of skilled jobs on a scale not seen since thatcher, decrease of NE GDP of 16%, NHS, schools and all public bodies fucked, conflict in NI, break up of the UK.  But at least blue passports (which are considerably less useful than the maroon ones were).    Edited September 13, 2018 by Renton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prices in some parts of the NE havent recovered from the levels before the 2008 recesssion yet. Plus what good is lower house prices when you haven't got a job or the banks reject you on affordability, or interest rates are sky high?  I appreciate you want a correction but having to trash the whole economy to get it isnt the answer. Edited September 14, 2018 by Renton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44851 Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 The majority of that house price reduction would be felt in London and the south east. We're not going to see a 35% reduction up here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it, because London will always have an inherent supply demand problem, lots of foreign buyers, and will be most insulated from Brexit.  However, if Nissan goes, along with its supply chains, what effect will that have? It's our region predicted to have a 16% GDP fall because uniquely we have a surplus in trade with the EU. I think we'll take the brunt of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddockLad 17246 Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Wasn’t Carney suggesting 30+% is a worst case scenario and that the BoE current stress tests for retail banks ensure that they can withstand any sort of financial fall out that this would cause?  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 21606 Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Hmmm, what motive could a company owner of a low end drinking chain have in supporting Brexit?  Some people will undoubtedly profit from us all being poorer, Tim Martin fits the bill perfectly.

Renton 21606 Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 BBC's idea of "balance". Passing off a pub landlord's opinion as valid as the governor of the BoE ffs.  The BBC have been fucking horrendous in reporting Brexit to the extent I'll not defend those wanting it scrapped now. ITV, channel 4, and Sky have been much better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
