Should Rightmove be shutdown during the Lockdown?
Pro: Although most estate agents are refusing viewings, there will be some direct viewings arranged with vendors (esp, Purplebricks) that are encouraging people to break the rules.
Against: Many self-isolating people use this as a major form of entertainment.

Keep it runningProperties for sale. Will remain on sale. Doesn't mean that viewings will take place. EA's can work remotely and be prepared for when restrictions are lifted.
Many people may decide to delist their homes as time passes. Has been quieter fora few weeks. Hardly anything new coming onto the market.1 -
Also, what about similar businesses like Zoopla, On the market , others ?
it wouldn' t be fair to close rightmove and leave those open.

Possibly one of the silliest polls I've ever seen on here. Get a grip!
