‘One month on’ after re-opening from Covid-19 lockdown – David Phillip Estate Agency

Covid-19 has changed the way people work and live, we hope that people are weathering the storm, staying safe and adapting to the new ‘normal’
When David and I opened our Estate Agency business in Bramhope at the end of 2018, who would have thought a little over twelve months on when Covid-19 resulted in a lockdown, a ‘short term’ business pause, followed thankfully by just over a month of our office being open again, we are now working in the new ‘normal’ way too.

Release of pent-up demand leads to Rightmove’s busiest ever day on May 27th

Home momentum has been building rapidly in the two weeks since the housing market properly re-opened – this had led to a number of records being achieved on Rightmove.
Both the number of visits and the amount of time people are spending on Rightmove has achieved new highs.
On Wednesday May 27th visits exceeded 6 million in a day for the first time, which is up by 18% on Wednesday May 29th last year.
The busiest day for time spent on Rightmove was Saturday May 23rd with over 47 million minutes spent collectively.
In the new survey, Rightmove has found a wave of new buyers now entering the market since before lockdown – of those people who had no plans to move earlier in the year, over a quarter of them (28%) are now saying they are planning to move.
