Today the world is watching, much more than we could imagine. Our story is the headlines across the world. It has dominated our lives, discussions, televisions, news, and the anticipation has been overwhelming. The countdown started, and it seems surreal that we are now here.

The decisional vote for whether there will be an actual Brexit will be known today. So, what will we talk about tomorrow? A lot.

No matter the outcome, the focus will be on where we go next. Much of the discussion will be centered on our economy. The housing market especially will be the focus, and since it is so tightly related, the lending market as well.

Much of the financial energy of the UK has been on hold. It has hovered waiting for the wind to move it one way or another. Now the vote will unleash the winds and we will end up somewhere. That somewhere will require us to look at our individual financial health. It should happen anyway, but the Brexit issue will require a keener eye and more focus.

Homeowners will be considering remortgages, first time buyers will be working harder to make their dreams of ownership come true, and both sellers and investors will be looking for their own opportunities in the new financial realm that will be before us.

Lenders won’t have to wait for the Bank of England to make a move that will help their position. So, you might want to let loyalty to a lender fall at your feet and do what is best for your position. Look for good remortgage or mortgage deals. Shop around, and be ready to take advantage of the opportunities that are available or present themselves. The next few months are going to be different, no matter the outcome of the vote. There will be no more hovering, the winds are coming.
