The markets been softening for about a year now and will remain flat until after Brexit. We'll likely continue to see a dip/fall for 24months until confidence post brexit starts to gain momentumn again.

I'd expect to see a 10-15% slump on current prices.

Also many more people are moving out of the city...as such the outlying areas are likely to remain steady and creep up slightly.

This slowdown would be happening regardless. Brexit is an irrelevance, despite what the media pump.
People are skint........and (unfortunately) will be for a very long while.

We are just entering the mid-cycle wobble of the 18-year property cycle. Perfectly normal.

You're right in that we're at the pint in the Property cycle where we'd anticpate a plateau, before a brief surge towards the bubble burst (historical evidence suggests this) but with the added curveball of Brexit it's brought that plateau forward by a couple of years.

I would love the value of my house to drop back to what I paid for it in 1981, so that my children, who lived in it throughout childhood and adolescence, could inherit it without having to sell it in order to pay a fortune in Inheritance Tax. I suspect many will have no sympathy for me - or my children.

You could always sign it over to them in order that inheritance isn't an issue...having said that its only an issue if you leave more than £400k...

You could do that, but if you continue to live there you will have to pay them rent at market value, and they will have to pay tax on the rent as income.
The government don't miss a trick!

I agree I heard this from a tax expert on the radio. There is also something about a gift that if you die within 7 years your estate pays full tax. Doesn't seem fare that Inheritance tax was supposed to be for the rich yet many normal people especially in the SE are now in that bracket. I have a pension and no mortgage so on paper I am a millionaire doesn't feel like it though. So far the only solution I have is to take out an equity release mortgage and spend it.

Labour will hate it but if the Tories have any sense they will massively increase the inheritance tax threshold.

I do hope there aren't any British retirees moaning about this and then when it comes to building new homes on green sites near them or golf courses they're moaning about that as well.

It would remind me of the Caterham nimbys re the golf course housing plans on the chaldon road but being lib dem pro-Europe and relaxed immigration policies.
