Liverpool’s property market will “continue to thrive” despite new uncertainty over Brexit, according to an industry expert.

Yesterday (3 November) the High Court ruled that the government would not be able to trigger Article 50 to begin Britain’s departure from the European Union without approval from parliament.

Helen Griffin-Booth, director of Liverpool’s Bluerow Homes estate and lettings agency, says: “The decision to allow parliament to vote on Brexit could spell further uncertainty for the UK.

“We found that the initial 24 hours after the vote this summer was shell shock but people soon rallied round and got on. The past two months of property sales has been good for us and there is still plenty of room for growth in Liverpool’s housing market.

“The risk now could be that uncertainty creates a standstill – when people don’t know what to do they don’t tend to do anything at all, which could cause the market to slow again. That said, Liverpool is a unique city which I am certain will continue to thrive.”

A statement from the Prime Minister’s office following the High Court ruling said the government plans to appeal the judgement.
