Latest: A Coronavirus Update For Home Buyers And Sellers In England And Northern Ireland 2021

Moving House in Covid Times

The property sector has been one of the highlights of the COVID-19 story so far. After a shutdown of the industry in the first lockdown, the Government gave the go ahead for estate agents and lettings agents in Warrington to continue to work, meaning that people could still move.

The slight easing of restrictions coupled with the Stamp Duty Holiday gave our industry – and the economy – a real boost and according to the Office for National Statistics, UK average house prices “increased by 7.6% over the year to November 2020”, the highest growth rate since 2016.

We and other estate agents across the country have reported increased demand, and a strong appetite from both buyers and sellers to get moving.
