Upcoming move to London - Brexit Repurcussions?

Expert Info

on 25 Jun 2016

Hello, I am an Australian with a duel passport (Italy) and I have had a planned move to the uk for the past year, and I leave in a mere 3 weeks, with the result of the referendum I am in a slight panic! Is anyone else in this situation or have any advice? Should I be concerned entering the uk with my one way ticket in 3 weeks time!? Thanks :)

Hey cocoren,

I don't think you have any cause for concern at this stage. The visa requirements still remain the same - until the government decide on the next steps. It is said that it'll take two years for any concrete changes to come into effect.

As long as you fulfil the current visa criteria, then you'll be fine.

Have you got a job offer in the UK?

Hello, I am a Swedish citizen who has lived in the UK between 1996 and 2014. I own my only home property in London and recently returned to Sweden to take up a job post here. I have been really anxious the last few days about the future of my flat in London. Will I suddenly have less rights as an owner, will I pay higher tax and also can I just come and stay in my own flat as I please in the future. Please advise what EU nationals in my situation can expect. Many thanks in advance

Hi there,

It's too early to say what the impact of Brexit will be on foreign homeowners in the UK.

They haven't even started negotiations on the exit deal and it is believed that it would take 2 years for the UK to withdraw from the EU.

Naturally, this move has far reaching implications for the Brits and citizens from other European countries.

At present, your situation has not changed from the pre-Brexit days so you can carry on till we know more.

Try not to stress till there is more information available.

Good luck
