House prices would fall by 35 per cent over three years following a chaotic no-deal Brexit, according to a briefing given by Mark Carney to the cabinet today.

The governor of the Bank of England told senior ministers that spiralling mortgage rates would crash the housing market in a stark presentation. He was briefing them on the Bank’s preparations to cope with the aftermath of leaving the European Union without a full withdrawal deal next March.

He outlined Bank of England modelling on the consequences of the EU agreeing a skeleton deal, one in which a few ad hoc arrangements are struck and a worst case chaotic exit.
