I've bought as a 'probably forever' house, 100k under budget, and even after depleting savings to keep the mortgage reasonable, will still have a year or two worth of mortgage payments in the bank. Overall my thought on the property aspect is that it only ever comes back up - so as long as you're not looking to move again in the next year or two it'll be fine. Let's hope so. 8 years ago I could have hung myself because negative equity caught me out - now I've just sold at a significant profit it's taught me to remember to think long term. My thought on Brexit as a whole is that the reality of repercussions will mostly come down to panic. If we kept our cool, it'll probably all iron out. We will continue with our day to day business without much change, if any. But with social media and it being very fashionable to use the word 'racist' these days, I think we are in for some fun and games from the currently expanding club of people looking for something to be offended about. |

But it's worse for the side where you're not voting for status quo, you're voting to leave a union that has lasted for decades and will have huge ramifications on all our lives, especially younger generations. The facts were there, it's just a shame the remain campaign was so poor at articulating them and the leave campaign so adept at ignoring them (Gove: "we're fed up of hearing from experts"). But they were all there if people looked for them and challenged the downright lies coming from the leave campaign which weren't hard to invalidate with some personal research. People understand not everyone who voted leave did it for the same reasons, what I and many others are upset about is that friends and family members chose to support leave despite the campaign espousing such poisonous lies, factless jingoism, blatant racism, championing of Farage (conveniently until the vote was won) etc. rather than making a personal stand that such a campaign was unsupportable even if there were valid reasons to support leaving. |

I think when it comes to house prices its a case of supply and demand and we still have to many people for the amount of affordable homes so i cant see prices changing much....as long as the banks still lend of course..

A number of my foreign friends find it bizarre that we act this way. We actually need say 1 million houses built (slight exaggeration) to ensure future generations can have a house. With people living longer, there is a reduced likely hood of Granny / Grandad pegging it and covering deposits for grandkids. A huge % of the population are unable to get a mortgage until over well over 30 and that's in not too pricey areas. It's mental that in some parts of the country a joint income of £60k cannot secure a mortgage (with deposit saving thrown in). How many of your kids will be living in £400k houses, with nearly no social life as they need to pay the mortgage? Then what about Grandkids, pretty much no chance. |

So, as well as a conservative party leadership vote, looks like we will have some kind of labour civil war too, as the MPs mutiny against Corbyn, and then against the grass roots members who voted for him. The irony being that they voted for him for much the same reason as many of them voted Leave- to make a stand agains the Elites who ignore them otherwise.

Half the shadow cabinet resigning, when Hilary Benn starts to come across as centrist and rational you know we're in trouble.
Osborne/Cameron/Boris/Gove/May have all but disappeared what the hell is going on? No plan, no speeches, no statesmanship, they really are been shown up for the political lightweights I suspected they all were. Only Sturgeon is standing up as a leader, I'm gaining respect for her regardless of her political views.

Agreed with Strugeon, I absolutely can't stand her or the SNP, however as a political leader and standing up, then yes she there. Admittedly, it's easy to do when you know high proportion of country supports you, historically the SNP crumble fast when put under pressure on the losing side of things. |

I'm really hoping the Chancellor pulls his finger out and comes out tomorrow with a positive speech and also other members of the government.
Seems daft for the tories not to state some authority A because of labours self destruction and B, they are still the sitting Government. |

Sturgeon is vocal because brexit is clear cut to her and her party, they are united in being opposed to it. The conservatives and labour parties are divided on brexit so it will take some time to reform both those parties to align with brexit. The only other political party where this outcome is clear cut is UKIP, but now it has happened they no longer need to exist. |

Sturgeon is milking it for all she can. And doing it very well. She has this opportunity thanks to a pee poor labour alternative.
It's a fake stance really, as the EU members wouldn't all vote to let Scotland into the EU IMO. But she'll run again for independence. |

The chancellors response to this outcome and the market shouldn't be silence in my opinion, they're pretty difficult to shut up most of the time but the countries leading political figures seem to have lost their voice.
