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!!

Client feedback

Can not recommend enough. I have used Samantha Robertson Strong for both the purchase and sale of my old house and she was amazing from start to finish. She always went above and beyond and always dealt with things in a speedy and efficient manor whilst always explaining exactly what was happening. Thanks for everything Sam.

Winston Solicitors provided an excellent service throughout our house purchase. Their tracking system kept us updated at every stage, and communication via email and phone was always clear and prompt. They were also very accommodating in providing printed copies when we needed them. Overall, we were very happy with their support and would gladly use them again in the future.
