Today the UK has voted to leave the European Union after 43 years in a historic referendum. In an extremely close result, Vote Leave has come out on top [52% / 48%].
So no more bleating on about 'In or Out' as we now know the direction, the details will follow in time no doubt but it is going to be a long road and very little will change for up to around 2 years, apart from politicians jobs of course.
We will keep posting news items in or "News in General" on where the country goes from here across the days, weeks and months ahead. Numerous speeches are expected from the government, Bank of England and the EU of course.
Apart from that it is business as usual if you are thinking about buying a Holiday Home or moving full time to France, just a bit more paperwork to do in the future [and we do that for you anyway] so all that means is a little more work for us and our agents on the ground but... hey, we are used to paperwork...
The Stocks and Shares and the Currency Markets have been hit as predicted, at the time of writing sterling has plunged 10% and 7% against the US dollar and euro respectively.
