New SCSI Special Covid-19 Residential Report
 Residential Markets Report Launched Today The new SCSI Special Covid-19 Residential Report presents key residential market findings from the post lockdown period. The SCSI carried out a report of over 260 chartered agents nationwide in order to measure the true impact of Covid-19 on activities across the property sector. The report presents the true impact of Covid-19 on: Property sale appraisals & purchase enquiries Property viewings & bidding activity Renegotiations & failed transactions The rental sector The report finds the property market to be resilient in maintaining values and property activity in the post lockdown period. However, it is likely that much of this sustained activity could be due to pent-up demand resulting from lockdown. The research also indicates that the rental market has and will likely continue to face challenges as tenants struggle to meet their financial obligations.
