Northern Ireland dealing with pent up demand after reopening – The Northern Ireland housing market is dealing with a flurry of activity after reopening on Monday 15th June.
The Guild of Property Professionals said a significant number of enquiries usually occur at this time of year – and losing March to June to the lockdown is only exacerbating this process.
Art O’Hagan, managing director of CPS Property, said: “As expected from the enquiries we received over the past few months, we are currently dealing with the pent-up demand that has built up over the lockdown period.
“With demand for houses is currently at a premium, there is no time like the present for vendors to get their homes valued and get their home listed.”

O’Hagan saw over 140 viewers booked in for the first week of trading as a result of the pent-up demand.
Similarly, Daniel Henry, partner at Bensons, said: “When we returned on the 15th we had to deal with a surge of pent up demand. There were a large number of viewings needing to be organised and a significant number of new listings to be measured and inspected.”
Henry added that the office has been adapted to facilitate social distancing, while access is currently by invitation only.
