Property Market Awaits Outcome of Historic Parliamentary Votes
17 January 2019
It has been an historic week for UK politics as MPs voted on two significant and divisive issues which set the tone for the property market in 2019.
The first was the meaningful vote on the Prime Minister’s Brexit deal which was unanimously rejected, followed a day later by Opposition Leader Jeremy Corbyn’s unsuccessful motion of no confidence in the Government.

Property experts PrinvestUK commented: “The Government needs to ensure it resolves the Brexit deadlock as soon as it can to end the uncertainty that has gripped the property market as we head into 2019.”
