Summary

Rob & Rob are back again with another Friday market update for you.  It’s been a pretty busy week which neither of The Robs are complaining about right now.  So far, yesterday’s podcast episode where Rob & Rob were pretty bold on their boom or bust predictions, has been quite popular with a lot of feedback coming in.  One topic that the guys discussed on Thursday was the unemployment rate. Since recording, Rob D has been doing some further thinking and has been questioning if the UK hadn’t implemented the furlough scheme, would there be a higher rate of unemployment?  And is the furlough scheme just delaying that potential unemployment rate?  Rob B also shares his thoughts on the employment bounceback which is likely to be felt across certain industries.  Which industries does he think are going to make a comeback first and which does he expect to see a number of redundancies?  Tune in to find out. 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.

Welcome to our market update from the Property Podcast.

I'm Rob D here with Rob B on Friday, the 22nd of May.

0:07.0

We've got loads to talk about this week,

0:08.5

but before we get into that, we've got our little tradition

0:10.7

for how we start these episodes.

0:12.2

So Rob, how are you feeling today?

0:13.7

I'm all right, thanks Rob. It's been a busy week, so I haven't really had a chance to feel

0:19.5

not be particularly emotional one way or another so I know that's not a great answer to your

0:26.4

question but I don't mind being busy that's okay keeps me focused and busy and

0:31.0

productive and that's how I like it.

0:33.1

How are you?

0:33.7

Really good, thank you.

0:34.7

It's a bit of really good business week.

0:36.7

It's just been completely unconnected

0:38.8

to what's going on in the world,

0:39.9

but there's just been lots of positive stuff happening getting good results on things that we've

0:44.1

been working on for a long time and it's really pleasing to have that happening at a time when it's

0:48.5

more difficult to get things done because the team is dispersed and encouraging as well that you're busy because if you're

0:53.9

busy it means that things are happening and I think it's always better to be

0:56.7

busy but now in particular it's you definitely want to be busy rather than sitting

1:00.8

around twiddling your thumbs definitely and part of the reason we are busy is because we're podcasting a lot at the moment like this is an extra show.

1:05.9

But the podcast we put out yesterday which looked at the future of property and we discuss
