Interestingly the Plentific surveys also found that , three months on , there has been a 50 % rise in homeowners who are more likely to make home improvements in the wake of Brexit . These figures illustrate how , in this instance , the post-Brexit panic has subsided and the public are feeling more relaxed about spending money .
This change of heart is particularly apparent in the North East and North West of the UK where the number of homeowners likely to make improvements has more than doubled . 21 % of owners in the North West are now more likely to attempt a home improvement project with the North East at 19 %. Statistically , the North majority voted for Brexit which could explain why they are adjusting faster than the South . Cem Savas , Co-Founder of Plentific . com , commented : “ We knew Brexit would have massive consequences for the UK housing market and our research shows that the public are still unsure of our future . Despite the fearmongering and confusion that has surrounded the topic , Plentific ’ s statistics show that homeowners are now more relaxed about the idea of spending money on their property .”
