JUST over half of aspiring first time house buyers are holding off because of uncertainty over Brexit, a new study suggests.
Research for financial services provider OneFamily indicated that a similar number believed property prices will fall after the UK leaves the EU at the end of March.
A survey of 1,100 adults currently saving to buy their first home found that only one in five will buy a property before March 29.
One in five currently saving to buy a house said they would be able to go ahead if prices fell by 5 per cent.
Nici Audhlam-Gardiner, of OneFamily, said: "At times of uncertainty it's always hard to know what to do - do you wait and see, or carry on regardless?
"For many, market fluctuations as a result of Brexit could give them a golden opportunity to get on the housing ladder."
