A phenomena I noticed is a lot of young hard working types came in from Europe to work / set up businesses here. On the whole they rented not really being settled here and the Brits who tend to own property made a fair bit of money without working through property income and appreciation. Now thanks to Brexit the young hard working Europeans have partly gone, while the older Brits who were used to not really having to work are not really taking up the slack. I'm not quite sure where it all ends up.
