Are predicted price reductions of 50% for Prime Real Estate in London realistic?

21/07/2016

Even before Brexit prime London property values were falling from their 2014 peak. I cannot help but feel this is a pessimistic view - on speaking to Middle Eastern clients, London remains their focus for high end Real Estate purchase especially as it has become considerably cheaper for them due to the fall in the value of £. 

KPMG are expecting prices to fall outside London at 5% which I can see is likely if not happening already.

The French bank said that Brexit could result in jobs in the City being cut and businesses potentially moving abroad, if access to the single market is denied. City workers would then have to sell their homes, which are mostly in very expensive areas of London, in order to relocate. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/property/house-prices/prices-of-luxury-london-homes-could-fall-as-much-as-50pc/
