It has been confirmed that:

  • Renters and homeowners will be able to move
  • Removal Firms and Estate Agents can operate
  • Construction sites can and should continue
  • Tradespeople will be able to enter homes

This is great news for renters, buyers and sellers who have the need or aspiration to move home.

This means that we can continue with arranging viewings with seriously interested buyers, valuations, home surveys, inspections and other necessary property visits, all in line with the Governments sector-specific guidance, which we have been following since May 2020.

Therefore, if you would like to talk with us about anything related to your forthcoming move, please call your local branch/department for up-to-date information and guidance:
