Q&A on re-opening of the housing market in England, with David Cox
Webinar recorded live on
David Cox joined us to provide an update following the Government’s announcement on 13th May that home moving activities could take place again – subject to strict social distancing guidelines.
Rightmove director and housing market expert Miles Shipside quizzed David on the new guidance and we then opened the floor to answer agents’ live questions, in an extended 90 minute session.
David covered advice on viewings, re-opening your office, PPE, property management, the furlough scheme and much more.
