The second article comes from the BBC and examines the number of property sales currently on hold because of the coronavirus pandemic .
The third article is brought to you by Legal futures and looks at a call by Conveyancing firms to extend the furlough period after the lockdown has finished to give firms time to recover once the market stabilises.
The fourth article comes from Legal cheek and takes a look at whether firms will need their expensive offices any more after having got used to working from home.
The fifth article comes from the Negotiator and reports that HSBC has stopped giving Buy-to-let loans in possible signs that they have little confidence in investments in the future housing market.
The sixth article also comes from the Negotiator and examines an anti Rightmove campaigner who is accused of working with Rightmove's competitors.

Next, Legal futures looks at how new file openings are crashing at most firms but legal staff have really stepped up to work hard to help during the crisis.
