Vote for No Deal to reduce house prices by a third Watch
Announcements
I'm not sure Mark Carney has ever really known what he's on about, but he is in uncharted territory. Anyway, he's said that no deal could reduce the UK economy by 8% in the short term, the pound fall by a quarter and house prices fall by a third. The first point is bad, the second is brilliant for exporting, and the third would be absolutely fantastic.

House prices falling doesn't help with supply, it just allows those that still have jobs a better chance of buying. Those that lose their jobs could also lose their homes - not very nice.
How many voters knew the consequences of voting leave? Better than the BoE?

The Bank of England is meant to be neutral. Clearly Mr Carney does not agree.

Usually in business you work out a worst case scenario, a best case scenario and somewhere in the middle.

You obviously didn't read the article.

Regardless, the article states that “if we get no trade deals by 2022” what if we get trade deals with Countrty X, Y and Z?
Furthermore. It’s rather meaningless without any probabilites.

I only heard the report on the radio.

The BoE does economic modelling, not political.

House prices falling due to a reason such as Brexit would mean that interest rates would go through the roof, leaving potential house-buyers in a worse of position, not better. The Net Price is only one component of the affordability of houses.

This. If house prices fell by a third it would be an unmitigated disaster for the UK. It astounds me when Brexiteers can spin stuff like this to be a good thing. Literally calling for an economic meltdown in the name of ideology and/or seeing fewer brown people.

It would be electoral suicide if the Tory party let house prices drop, so yeah, it's pretty unlikely. I hope.

Laws of supply and demand say it can’t happen.

That's a bit of an oversimplification, to put it mildly. Maybe you should look at what happened to the US housing market after the subprime mortgage debacle.

We don’t have their stupid loan book, they didn’t have a housing shortage and their loan book is what kicked off a massive drop in prices.

But for people who think he is doing this as some dire financial warning that we should take heed of your wrong. The guy has been bashing Brexit for 2 years now.
