Former Bank insiders agreed. “Policymakers already know there’s a car crash ahead. It’s better to put the brakes on now than wait until you’re about to hit the wreckage,” said one.

+ c7.5% at c2.30pm. Looks like my top-up isn't going to happen today.
Ah well, I take comfort from visualising the shorters who must feel like their balls are in a vice. Bwahahaa :)

And just to confound the shorters:

With the pound plummeting post-Brexit, foreign investors are cashing in on luxury properties at a lower price in the UK.
Overseas buyers can save around 10% of the cost of a property worth £1m, according to report by The Guardian.
The pound rose to $1.50 on the day of the vote, in the hopes the UK would remain in the EU. On Thursday the value of the pound was $1.29, the lowest it’s been since 1985.
Head of commercial development Mark Cleverly at property consultancy Arcadis, said their family offices, that cater to wealthy clients, have been “pretty active” in the market.
A buyer from China was able to buy a £1m property for £112,245 on Tuesday, according to Cleverly. Similarly a buyer from the US could save up to 11% or £102,740.
He said this rise in foreign interest will provide a much needed boost for the UK construction sector given that many residential projects were put on hold since the leave vote. Developers may be suspending work in order to wait to see if construction costs will fall.
“More buyers means a more buoyant market, which can only be good news for the industry,” said Cleverly.

Third world? Bit ott...and yes people will want too.

1.30 against the dollar.Sadly the UK is now a 3rd world country. Why will any foreign money want to invest serious money into an economy where there is total uncertainty.
Come back in three or six months.

Falling knives and all that.

Cheers Eeza...useful article..I took a holding yesterday in Standard Life Property INVESTMENT trust :)Too add to the nibble I took here

[jrphoenixw2] 07/7/2016 19:57

Thanks Eeza, interesting article.
I'm going to 'gird my loins' prior to the close tomorrow, and consider if the time is right for a top-up. That said no rush, I'm sure there's more drama [broadly from the market/economy etc] to come. Ho hum!

I'm watching closely too, but am bearing in mind 'A week is a long time in politics'. More to the point right now perhaps 'A weekend is a long time in EU politics', and I'm cautious how the market will close on Friday vs the background of rudderless uncertainty.
I'm LTBH so care somewhat less about precise entry point. Personally I'd like to see a bit more er... 'embedded confidence' before topping up further.
