UK property funds are signalling significant poor appetite for the UK economy generally post-Brexit and I think it's heading into a recession.
Only thing that will reverse the trend will be fast resolution of which EEA model the UK prefers.
Both a weakened GBP and a UK recession were looming large. That is, irrespective of whether Britain chose to stay put or bail out of the EU, both events were a distinct possibility. Brexit just happened to make them more visible.
The property sector on the other hand was a bubble waiting to burst. It might keep chugging for a short while even after the gating fiasco, but I don't think there is that much gas left in the tank. Add a tax hike that was introduced last year and prices have nowhere to go but down.
By panicking/quitting the EU first, Britain has saved itself from some unnecessary headaches.
The main purpose of the stock market is to make fools of as many people as possible.
