UK house prices could crash by as much as a fifth if
Boris Johnson pursues a no-deal Brexit, and the biggest falls would be in
London and Northern Ireland. Reflecting the potentially vulnerable state of the

5.4% and 7.5% across different regions next year if a new agreement with
Brussels was not in place by 31 October. The analysis of average house prices
across the country showed no deal could trigger a nationwide decline of about
6% in 2020 and that and a drop of between 10 and 20% was “not out of the
question” if the market reacted more strongly than expected. Read more on the
