I don’t know about you, but ever since the EU Referendum in June 2016, politics seems to have been unavoidable.
Turn on the TV, or open a newspaper, magazine or news app, and the coverage of Brexit, Parliament and the EU has been constant and consuming.
And not just in our personal lives: Brexit is a conversation that has come up time and time again in a business context.
The significant uncertainty around the UK leaving the EU resulted in many things property related stagnating. Many people and businesses have been sitting on their hands and putting off bigger decisions and projects.
Wherever you are on the political spectrum, we now know where we stand – it seems it’s highly likely the UK will leave the European Union at the end of next month.
You might think that’s a good thing, you might think it’s a bad thing; but that’s by the by – the point is that it’s most probably going to happen.
When it happens, and when the markets get going again (which they already are this past week), there’s every chance that we should see funds being released once again and money beginning to get moved around – residential property investors are even predicting something of a mini-boom.
So, my question to you is this: how are you planning to capitalise on that certainty in 2020? What are you going to do to hit the ground running and ride any wave that presents itself?
I hope that’s given you some further food for thought over the festive season. All that’s left for me is to wish you and yours a very happy and peaceful break.
Here’s to an interesting - even exciting - 2020 and doing our very best with whatever it throws at us!
