If Brexit slashes a third off house prices in the U.K. then that is to the long-term benefit of society.

Re: Brexit
Like the Government wouldn't intervene if house prices fell too much. The governments housing policy for years has been to prop up the house market as much as possible lest values fall and screw over the economy and their voter base. The government would sooner find ways to extract more money from the young before they dare let house prices fall.

I agree with you 100% but many may not and as such, this potential price drop would add another parameter to the mix ...

By the very same logic Let's round up all the feckless workshy and put them in chain gangs, because let's face it it's to the long-term benefit of society.
Of course both my and your posts are grotesquely wrong due to sweeping generalisations being made with no attention paid to the underlying mechanics and knock on issues.

The last date on that chart was 2nd January so I have taken todays rates from Google
On 23rd June 2016, £1=$1.46. Now it's $1.29. 11.2% drop
On 23rd June 2016, £1=€1.28. Now it's €1.13. 11.7% drop

House prices in some of Britain’s wealthiest areas have had up to 25% wiped off their value in 12 months as Brexit turmoil continues, according to the estate agent Your Move. That has meant typical price falls in some cases of almost £500,000.
|
Amazing that some house prices have 'fallen' by almost 500k
In many areas, that alone would buy you a 5 bed detached with double garage and swimming pool

Re: Brexit
According to Channel 5, a poll shows that 1.6 million people have ended their relationship with their partner because of differing views about Brexit!
16% of people have found the subject to have caused a strain with friends, relatives and colleagues (with 2% saying that they have completely cut off people because of Brexit.)
Does anyone here have a different opinion to their partner and how have you handled it?
I think it's rather an extreme reaction, but it does go to show how passionate people are about this subject. I've not known such a divisive issue since the miners strike.

Well, she's currently speaking to Parliament and the main points announced at this moment in time are:
- The fee payable by EU citizens to stay in the UK is to be abolished.
- Workers rights will not be eroded.
- She will hold more talks with the DUP Re: The backstop.
- She will never reopen the Belfast agreement.
- She will be more flexible & inclusive.

She has said nothing new that's of significant importance whatsoever.
