Property survey, with Harry Potter on offer

Property lawyers, surveyors, estate agents and other property professionals are invited to take part in a snapshot survey of their experiences in the extraordinary year of 2020

The survey is being run by tmgroup, the property search and data business, and there are 60 gifts on offer in a prize draw for those who provide feedback, including family tickets to ‘The Making of Harry Potter’ Warner Brothers Studio Tour. Other prizes include £100 John Lewis vouchers and Hotel Chocolat hampers.

For your chance to win, take part in the survey before 10.30am on 5 January 2021, at: bit.ly/3ogfIGD.

The short survey aims to capture a picture of how 2020 has shaped the property transaction, showing the challenges and successes as well as predictions for 2021.

Joe Pepper, CEO at tmgroup, which also provides sales progression software mio, said: ‘Change is inevitable, as they say, however the rate and speed of change this year has been unprecedented, as the pandemic has forced everyone to work differently―practically overnight. Whilst this has been challenging, to say the least, it’s also accelerated the adoption of trends that were already emerging in the property industry, which I believe have and will continue to bring long term benefits.’

The findings of the survey will be published shortly after the survey closing, and winners will be notified within 28 days. View the survey at: bit.ly/3ogfIGD.
