  1. Because fewer people will want to live and work in Britain - especially London - as the economy contracts and companies relocate. As there is a perception that demand will fall, so too will the number of people seeking to buy investment properties. Those who do want to live in the available housing will have less money available to spend on them which changes the gradient of the demand curve.

    That's way way off.. The way people are talking the country cleared over the weekend .

  2. Because (a) demand will fall and (b) people will have less money to spend.

    How will demand fall..? There's 2 years of negotiations first.. Demand won't go away for a long time. The same pressures that were there last Wednesday are still here today

  3. Will house prices rise or fall?

    It’s good news for first time buyers who are struggling to get on the property ladder.

    The Treasury claimed house prices could be hit by between ten per cent and 18 per cent over the next two years, meaning it will be easier to buy.

    House prices in London are likely to take the biggest hit, losing and average of £7,500 in three years, according to National Association of Estate Agents.

    The average outside London is will be around £2,300.

    But it all depends on the Bank Of England’s stance on interest rates.

    How will house prices fall when there's a housing shortage ..?

  4. Why would international banks moving out of London - as many now will - go to Edinburgh rather than say Frankfurt?

    London is the finance capital of the world and that will never change.

  5. May have something to do with the fact the French would move the border to Folkstone if the UK exits the EU and will not stop them crossing the border into the UK any more.

    then we use the Dublin agreement and send everyone of them back

  6. They are being recruited from all over the world especially the Philippines and Indian sub continent, but is that acceptable that a first world country strips out people who have been trained at the cost of a 3rd world country denying their citizens medical care or possibly are they being trained by these countries to a lower level in the knowledge that they will be recruited by us and then be a living export earning hard currency for the originating country as people send their wages home.

    If that is the case we are now being conned ourselves

    maybe if the uk paid a decent wage then all the doctors and nurses would come back to the NHS. Went to hospital in Perth and every person from the receptionist to the doctor was british
  7. I dispute your numbers - but in any case, taking in economically active young people should be growing the economy, not harming it. If the UK imported pensioners it might have more cause to worry but, as it goes, it seems to be quite good at persuading its pensioners to head off to Spain.

    That's not true, the way to grow an economy isn't by numbers but by investment

  8. How many were coming to Perth every year, when it was a city of a million? Did we hear outcries of the social damage, or did we hear boom town?

    Well I'm sure if a couple of million people dumped themselves in Perth the effects would be the same. Just wait till the China agreement gets going in full force and it will be the same

  9. One thing you can assure is 200-400 thousand people coming to the uk every year. It will take the uk government to build a city the size of Coventry every year to house and look after these people. No amount of being in the EU will be able to do this, that's right a city the size of Coventry every year to be built

  10. I'm really not sure why people are being given this misinformation to be honest. All it seems to do is cause stress and worry unnecessarily.

    Certainly does mate.. We're on a flight on the 27th to Heathrow .. Watch this space

  11. My wife flew on her Australian passport with a one way ticket - they didn't know she was a UK citizen with a expired UK passport and it was no hassle. Australian citizens are granted a visa on arrival

    And that's what I thought, but I have been advised that a uk citizen who doesn't hold a uk passport cannot get a 6 month holiday visa in their Australian passport

  12. I'm just a bit worried as the uk consulate said she wouldn't be able to board the flight as she is on a one way ticket and doesn't have the correct travel documents as a British national cannot get a holiday visa on a Australian passport

  13. Got told that she as she has an Australian passport and she is a British national she has to fly to the uk on her British passport. It's all very confusing, spoke to the uk consulate in Perth, Sydney, Australian consuLate and Singapore airlines and it's like a hot patotoe with them all saying different things

  14. Not been on here for a long time, been busy packing up.. I'm a few months late but I'm leaving on the 27th of June.. Major problem is that I forgot to get my daughter a uk passport in time and I'm Being told that Singapore airlines won't let her board the flight from Perth to London. I have applied for her uk passport but I won't get it back in time
