Then one must presume that they did not own a home prior to the Referendum result, so this news should not affect them really.

This isn't good news, dear. You do realize that things being more costly isn't good for consumers, right? Wait until Article 50 happens. Prices are going to go through the roof.

This report may only show a snapshot of the past few weeks, but that makes it all the more concerning that there has been such a big slump in such a short space of time.

I am not sure what point you are making by posting the link?

Because some people denied that Brexit would spook the markets, and dismissed all the predictions as 'Project Fear'. The pound has been on a downward trajectory for a while, but it just fell off a cliff!

The report in this link is a warning that a recession could, potentially, be on the horizon. And I don't remember many politicians on the leave side admitting that could happen.

The Brexit shock has given the economy "a good kicking" according to a special set of surveys of businesses taken in the wake of the European Union referendum vote, which suggest the UK economy is now contracting at its steepest pace since the last recession in early 2009.

The “dramatic deterioration” will significantly increase the odds of a major monetary stimulus from the Bank of England next month to support the economy.

So... Brexit has caused house prices to rise. Bad.

Brexit has caused house prices to fall. Still bad.

What WILL satisfy remainers, I wonder? I'm sure they'll let us know eventually, I mean, they think they're so much more intelligent than people who voted out, right? Ask them... they'll tell you.
