Problem is I guess, that there may well be an abundance of 1 beds on the market by that time. However, it would need to drop in value by over 30% (based on a conservative current market value), to get less than what I paid for it.
Your real risk isn't in the value dropping by 30%, it's in simply not being able to find a buyer for months on end and then having to delay your departure until you've sold. If you're definitely leaving the country, I'd be prepared to sell in a hurry any time between now and then should the market start to look a bit wobbly.
It's a bit like your pension, you need to move your funds into something less volatile as D-Day approaches.
