COUNTY estate agents said they do not expect too much change in house prices in Herefordshire following last week's EU referendum result.

There is a question mark over whether the vote to leave the European Union will have an impact on buying and selling houses.

Richard Butler from Richard Butler Estate Agents in Ross-on-Wye said: "The interest rates are now confirmed to stay low. It is just down to the general public as to whether they start not buying houses and not buying cars and not buying anything. That could drive the country into a recession, like any other change in the economy.

"People will still want to move if they want to downsize or want to get a bigger house. As long as the interest rates stay low there shouldn't be any issue."

Sales negotiator Edward Sargeant from Flint and Cook in Hereford said he does not believe there will be a big negative impact on prices.

He said: "I would say the phones have gone a bit quiet in terms of people wanting to view properties and people buying them. But we still have lots of evaluations."

He added: "It was really peaking in the property market. It is going to cool off just a bit. There will be no sudden changes. I think the south east and London are going to take the hit more than Hereford county."

Sales negotiator Dave Jenkins from Connells said: "Fingers crossed things remain the same. We are still selling houses for good prices and there are plenty of buyers around."
