The property market has had an interesting year so far. First came the ‘Boris Bounce’, swiftly followed by the coronavirus pandemic and the ensuing lockdown.
Now, as we emerge blinking into the sunlight, you’d be forgiven for wondering what will happen next.
On Monday July 13, Lindsay Cuthill, head of Savills’ country department, took part in an #asktheagent on the Country Life’s Property page, @countrylifemagazine.
Lindsay answered your questions on the new trends in the market, how to buy, how to sell and everything in between — including the freshly-announced stamp duty holiday.
