Green Light…Move!

Since the lockdown restrictions were implemented in March, more than 450,000 people have been unable to progress their plans to move house. The Government has now announced that house moves and viewings can resume again in England from today! (13/05)

What has changed?

The Health Protection (Coronavirus, Restrictions)(England) (Amendment)(No.2) Regulations 2020 come into force today. In regulation 6, a reasonable excuse to leave the place where you are living now includes the following:

  • To undertake any of the following activities in connection with the purchase, sale, letting or rental of a residential property:
  1. Visiting estate or letting agents, developer sales offices or show homes
  2. Viewing residential properties to look for a property to buy or rent
  3. Preparing a residential property to move in
  4. Moving home
  5. Visiting a residential property to undertake any activities required for thesale of that property

Who can start work again?

  • Property professionals
  • Removal companies
  • Estate agencies/rental agents
  • House surveyors
  • Home builders and show homes

This is all under the prerequisite that such work is carried out under social distancing and safety rules.

Get moving!

Now that the Government has freed its restrictions on the property market, allowing buyers and tenants to view properties and move home from today, let’s take full advantage.

As conveyancers we have been able to operate during this lockdown period but with obstacles in our way. This is the Green Light we have been waiting for!!

This is the fourth time we have trusted Winston Solicitors - Sidraa Razaq in particualr! Amazing, efficient, and fast service each time. There has never been a delay from her end. Many estate agents always pester us with their own partner solicitors but we always kindly reject them and choose Sidraa. We would always recommend Sidraa and her team!
