Only 7% have sold one or more homes as a direct result of Brexit and 57% do not envisage their property investment strategy changing following the Brexit deadline.

PareshRaja, chief executive ofMFS, said: “There is a sense of Brexit-fatigue setting in across most financial sectors.

“But importantly, while some predicted that this uncertainty would cause house prices to tumble and property investors to flee the market, today’s research demonstrates that appetite for real estate as an investment asset has remained strong.

“It is positive to note that the majority of property investors have been actively seeking new opportunities regardless of Brexit, and such buoyant behaviour looks set to continue over the coming months.

“Although a degree of hesitancy at times like this is inevitable, the research underlines the long-term strength of bricks and mortar investment to weather such periods.”
