House prices and transactions affected by lockdown

Research from the home investment fund Hearthstone showed house transactions are estimated to have fallen to around 50% of usual volumes in March and "possibly as low as 10% in April". Meanwhile, estate agents have reported an increase in inquiries for property around the country from buyers based in London, with house prices in the capital at risk when restrictions on moving are loosened.
