FT.com (10 April 2020) Property sales go virtual to work around Covid-19

"A house in central London recently sold to an overseas buyer for £6m. “This is a large property on a prime road that will be his family home,” says Jamie Hope, managing director of Maskells estate agency, who is handling the sale, reports FT. "The sale is due to complete this month, but the buyer has yet to set foot in the place, having seen it via a virtual walk-through, made using the 3D camera system Matterport."

"Since the beginning of March [2020], sales of Matterport’s 3D cameras have jumped 630 percent," reports FT.
