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!!

We used Winston's (Samantha) for our house sale & purchase. Very impressed with her dealings with us, keeping us up to date with progress and always happy to answer any questions we had. Nothing was too much trouble for her. Colleagues who asisted her, were equally helpful. Would have no hesitation in using them again or recommend the firm. First class service.

We used Winston Solicitors for our first home purchase based on a friend’s recommendation, and we couldn’t be happier. Samantha Robertson-Strong was exceptional throughout the entire process. She was professional, efficient, proactive, and more responsive than we ever expected. She explained everything clearly and answered all our first-time buyer worries with patience and reassurance. We couldn’t recommend Samantha enough. Thank you again for all your help.

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.
