How comfortable are vendors with physical viewings in their own homes?

We look some recent research into how sellers felt about physical viewings in their homes

  • The recent Dataloft Homemover survey has bolstered reports of growing momentum in the housing market. The vast majority of vendors who were considering selling their homes before lockdown, still plan to do so.
  • So long as social distancing measures are enforced, 83% of vendors who are looking to sell their homes as soon as possible, say that they are either very or fairly comfortable with physical viewings taking place.
  • This renewed confidence in the market led to an 111% increase in sales viewings booked last week (Property Market Insights Report, Coadjute).
  • It is no surprise that those who are looking to delay their sale until next year were the most concerned with 8% insisting on digital viewings only. Source: Dataloft Homemover survey and Coadjute

In May 2026, pricing strategy matters more than ever. With more homes on the market and buyers watching affordability closely, setting the right asking price can make all the difference to your next move.

Against a noisy global backdrop, the UK housing market has quietly surged, posting its strongest week for sales agreed in 45 weeks. Demand hasn’t vanished, it has sharpened. Well-priced homes are moving fast, while overpriced listings linger, making strategy and timing more critical than ever.

More homes are competing for buyer attention, so sellers need more than a hopeful asking price. A smart launch, realistic valuation and strong presentation can help attract serious interest.
