【Bloomberg】Brexit Housing Crash Fears Stay in London as Regions Catch Up

The Brexit-inspired decline in London’s property values has yet to cause any serious ripples in other areas of the U.K.

It’s a national divide that’s all too apparent to real estate agents in northern England who aren’t too worried about the U.K.’s departure from the European Union.

“It’s a different world from London in the north,” says Jonathan Morgan, sitting in the Leeds office where his property management company Morgans has operated for more than two decades.
