Covid-19 and property investment: a market and lending update

The video below is a recording of a webinar hosted by Jarrod McCabe from Wakelin Property Advisory and Stuart Wemyss on 31 March 2020. It covers our thoughts about COVID-19’s likely impact on the residential property market.

  • And we answered some listeners questions.

We apologise that the video is a little fuzzy at the begging but clears up around the 13 minute mark. We hope you enjoy this presentation.
