The housing market will be reopened today in a bid to get Britain moving again. Housing Secretary Robert Jenrick has told estate agents they can reopen immediately although they are being urged to use online viewings. ‘The housing market is one of the most important sectors of the economy and the ability to move home is also important to people’s lives,’ said Mr Jenrick. Estate agents, surveyors and conveyancers have been told they can reopen tomorrow. Estate agents are urged to make use of ‘virtual viewings’ online wherever possible.
