The UK has been enjoying a property boom in recent months. This boom is partly due to the stamp duty holiday introduced during the pandemic and partly due to COVID causing a surge in remote working, which meant people no longer had to live within commuting distance of their work and those living in cities could up sticks and move to the coast or the countryside.
Although, obviously, physical viewings of properties were put on hold during lockdowns, virtual viewings helped potential buyers have a good look at properties for sale. Virtual viewings, 3D walk-throughs and 360° virtual tours are still popular but nothing beats seeing a house in person and open days are a popular marketing method for estate agents in Essex and all over the UK.
