We believe our role serving people and the community during this time is a crucial one, and we want to make sure our customers can find the homes they need safely and easily. Our whole team is working around the clock remotely and we are busy implementing a range of measures to minimise the need for physical contact for both property viewings and transactions.
Many of our users are concerned about physical viewings, so here are some of the initiatives we’re working on to make that an easier and safer process:

The virtual tours and digital tenancy options were ahead of their time for 2020. For keeping tabs on property listings and market updates without constant browser tabs, I use Kepo to turn those pages into live desktop widgets: https://kepo.ai
Clear update on virtual tours and safer property viewings. The practical breakdown is still useful because simple online workflows make it easier for people to compare options before committing time. For AI image and video iteration, I use pips2: https://pips2.com
I needed a quick avif to png solution for a project, and this tool worked instantly in the browser.
Snappy read—finally a property update that doesn’t feel like decoding a floor plan on a napkin. Clear take on supply vs demand and tips buyers can actually use. Now if only flipping square metres to square feet were this easy—warm up with kg to lbs.
Daft.ie’s Covid-19 update on virtual tours and digital tenancies feels like ancient history! Looking back at those unprecedented times is so surreal, I practically need Fancy Old English Translator to translate the old pandemic-era property jargon!
