One possible upshot of people being unable to move may be an increase in remote working. This means people will have to change their houses to accommodate this. Networking, wifi, garden offices are all on the up. I install garden office buildings and we are doing really well at the moment.

I saw the fact that we had networked the house as a selling point – not necessarily a major one admittedly, but one that could appeal to certain people who would value a connected home (home workers, those consuming large amounts of media).

However, the estate agent showed very little interest :)

I guess the truth is that against the cost of the property the cost of putting in networking, or making a bedroom double as an office, is relatively low.
