On this specific issue, I doubt there is much overlap between those that voted to leave and those that own properties outside of England (either vacation homes or just not living in the country).

You'd be surprised. There were TV interviews back in the day where Brits living in Spain admitted to voting Brexit as it would be a better direction for the UK. Even though they had emigration.

When asked they had assumed there would be no change for them personally. The old "have their cake and eat it" line.
