Arc & Co. recently teamed up with Zoopla’s Head of Research - Gráinne Gilmore to co-host a 2-part webinar on the UK property market. Grainne presented recently published research which revealed that demand for housing in England has jumped above pre-lockdown levels, with 60% of potential buyers saying they will push ahead with their plans. Arc & Co. then outlined what is happening in the UK mortgage market from a broker/lender perspective and also, what is happening in the commercial & development lending space.
Watch PART-1 below, which covers:
Presentation of Zoopla’s research - led by Grainne Gilmore - Head of Research at Zoopla

PART-2 is also featured below, which sees us discuss the research and build on some of the trends. We discuss:
Pent up demand
Which aspects of the UK government support for the economy has shaped the property market outlook for H2 2020
With the projections of economic decline, whether people will sell now, if they have the opportunity, but then rent to see how the market goes
Whether the London property market recovery is slower due to businesses not been open, or are we seeing a flight to the countryside?
