Homes snapped up

The number of homes are selling within a week has hit a 10-year high, according to Rightmove. Summer is usually a sleepy time for the housing market, but this year it’s been boosted by the release of pent-up demand plus the stamp duty cut. In July and August over 33,000 homes sold within a week of going on the market - twice as many as last year.

HS2 work begins

The first shovels are in the ground to start work on the controversial HS2 rail project, which officially kicks off today. The companies in charge of building the line claim that they’ll create 22,000 jobs over the next few years.

Get your 5-a-day

Pret’s giving everyone the jitters with its caffeinated plans to get everyone drinking litres of coffee with its new subscription service. For £20 a month, coffee lovers can get up to 5 hot drinks every day for free. The service will open for business on 8th September.

Quarantine confusion

From today, holidaymakers in Portugal, French Polynesia, and some Greek islands will have to quarantine when they get home. But only if home is in Wales. If they live in Scotland, they have until tomorrow at 4am to get back, and if they live in England or Northern Ireland? No need to quarantine at all. The split rules have confused many, and meant some people booked expensive last-minute flights to avoid a quarantine that’s not going ahead.
