10. In what ways have you had to adapt your business in this current climate?

During the first lockdown we had to work from home but since coming back to the office it has been non-stop. Some clients are still uneasy having people walk around their home, for that reason we have invested in 3D technology to create virtual tours so people can look around without the need to physically be there!
