Housing Market Remains Open!

Housing Market Remains Open!

 

Housing market activity returned on the 12th May in England and has continued ever since due to the Government's belief in the importance of the sector and confidence that agents are operating safely. 

 

Following the Prime Ministers announcement yesterday evening I am pleased to report that whilst England will move to a new national lockdown, Estate Agents can continue to work and house moves are permitted to go ahead.

 

The Government guidance states:

"You can still move home. People outside your household or support bubble should not help with moving house unless absolutely necessary.’’

‘’ Estate and letting agents and removals firms can continue to work.’’

‘’ If you are planning to move home, you can go to property viewings.’’

‘’ Follow the national guidance on moving home safely, which includes advice on social distancing, letting fresh air in, and wearing a face covering."

 

Clearly responsible behaviour by everyone involved and adherence to safety guidance and social distancing is now more important than ever. 

 

We take the safety of our employees and the public very seriously and will continue to follow our Health and Safety Policy vigorously and our commitment to ‘virtual’ where possible will continue.
