EDIT: Appreciate it's just a bunch of experts but think the stuff I copy/pasted from the EIU also stated this as the most likely course of events, incomplete single market access in return for restrictions on immigration.

Given that many EU countries are suffering from migration problems it could be to our advantage if we call for migration limits in all EU countries, thus making freedom of movement within limits a norm for everybody and thus not a special condition just for us.
Let's remember that failing to manage our immigrants is the fault of
our government and therefore something in our gift to put right. Changes of policy and strategy by the UK could do a great deal to overcome the disadvantages for British nationals created by the presence of large numbers of immigrants.
