Impact On Uk Housing In Case Of Soft Brexit

Currently, the total value of UK housing market is more than £7. 14 trillion. Some of the key economists, financial organizations and journalists were surveyed by Bloomberg News, and the views of 10 economists were recorded who said they did not agree with the remarks of BOE Governor Mark Carney’s of plunge in home prices by thirty-five per cent in three years in case of no deal, in one of the worst situations.

Savills believes such could be one of the extreme situations when the financial stability of the country becomes an issue. Seven out of ten economists said the prices will gain in the range of 5 to 10 per cent, even in the conditions of soft Brexit, and two said the prices will gain more than 10 per cent and only 1 felt the prices may flatten or decline. Most investors believe Brexit has been responsible for creating uncertainty in the market where some impact on the economy will be felt due to regulatory transformations in job creation, affordability and tax issues. The worst fall in prices was witnessed in 2007 when the prices fell by 19 per cent in the Q3 2007 to the Q1, 2009. Experts do not agree that the housing prices will plunge in the coming months by more than 10 per cent, even in the worst of conditions. Rightmove said the prices grew 0. 7 per cent in the month of September and sales were predominantly higher in most of the regions. Nationwide said August asking prices grew. Experts find the prices in Central London will grow at the rate of 4. 7 per cent in the next five years and the rates in Greater London will grow at 12 per cent rate. Fresh supply needed in some regionsGovernment need to improve housing in city such has Liverpool and replace existing stock with new. Growth of city such as Manchester was restricted by poor housing supply for the new workers in the city that includes the millennials and the Gen Z. This study was concluded by Colliers International where it found highest number of jobs was created in media, telecom and technology, healthcare, banking, legal and government sectors but the housing supply fell below requirement.

Also, one of the biggest problems is the lack of good homes at proper locations. Proper distribution of house is needed where everyone is able to make use of the housing supply. In another research by Sky News, UK is facing mini housing crisis where the government needs to plan fresh housing projections and create new targets to meet the growing demand of rising population in the some of the cities. The housing pressure on some growing regions such as Scotland and Northern Ireland is not due to lack of supply but, mainly, as people are moving out of the city seeking jobs in other regions. At the conference of UK housing associations Prime Minister Therasa May said she would allocate extra £2billion towards social housing, to provide stable housing. The associations are preparing to secure land-to-built these new homes. Also the prime minister said she remains committed to the help to buy programme to promote home ownership.
