Summary

Rob & Rob are back again with another Friday market update for you.  Although at the beginning of the week Rob & Rob weren’t feeling too positive after Boris’ announcement on Sunday, by Wednesday their moods had certainly lifted as the property market turned up the gas and got going again. Even better news, surveyors are now starting to be un-furloughed which is a huge boost for the property market and means property processes that had been put on hold can get moving again.  House viewings are also starting to pick back up! Of course, this doesn’t come without some precautions being put into place and there will be some restrictions. Plus everything won’t go back to ‘normal’ straight away but it’s certainly a step in the right direction. And that’s not just Rob & Rob being positive about a bad situation, there’s actually data to prove that we’re moving forward so you’ll have to tune in to find out what that data is. Enjoy - and we’ll be back next week!   We’d love to hear what you think of our new market updates over on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. You might even have a question you’d like us to cover in the future - if so, pop us a message on social and we’ll see what we can do.   Make sure you’ve liked and subscribed to our YouTube channel where we upload new content every week!  If that wasn’t enough, you can also join our friendly property community on the Property Hub forum.

Hello everybody Rob B here with Rob D it's Friday the 15th and this is your market update

0:05.6

now we kick start these in style every week by getting into our feelings and Rob

0:10.8

how are you feeling this week? Today, I'm feeling great.

0:14.4

On Monday, as you know, because you spoke speaking to me,

0:17.2

I was not feeling great at all.

0:19.2

After Boris's announcement on Sunday, I was feeling really pretty miserable on Monday morning. I spoke to a couple of other people

0:26.1

in the team who remarked on how downbeat I was compared to usual. But over the week, some things

0:32.0

changed in reality and things changed in my head as well

0:34.7

But on Monday when we spoke you already there you were way ahead of me on seeing the positive side of things

0:40.3

Well, I do like to put a positive spin on things, but I've gone downhill in the week when I've realized that

0:45.1

barbers still aren't opening I look like a bear at the moment so my positivity

0:49.9

starting to zap away I'm worried that if I go go for a walk in the woods people are going to think

0:54.2

I'm a wild animal so I've got to be careful. I've actually ordered some scissors off

0:58.8

farmers and some thinning out scissors. Yeah I't got any YouTube videos for a while.

1:03.0

But like you say, once we kind of understood what was happening and all the information

1:09.3

filtered through, because let's face it, there wasn't a lot to work with on Sunday with the

1:12.8

announcements I think there is a lot to be positive about in essence the property

1:17.1

market is back to what it was before no but back up and running yeah absolutely or at least starting to be up and

1:25.1

running yeah Wednesday was the big day because that's when we got the specific

1:28.1

announcement about the property industry and I think there's been the expectation that something would be said around specifics on

1:35.7

Sunday or at least I had the impression that something would be said around that.

1:39.2

Then there was something else on Monday which I thought would have more detail and it didn't really.
