Well - first UK must 'really' decide to leave EU and enact Article 50. Then - there will be at least 2 years of the departure process. And even after that's over, a lot will depend on what trade deals UK is able to secure in the near future. But while all this goes on, what's really going to hurt UK in terms of economy is the uncertainty and resulting reluctance of international business to invest.
