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!!

I was recommended Sidraa Razak, Winston solicitors for my house conveyancing. I found the service I received was excellent. Sidraa and Tom were communicative, responsive, and thorough. I found them friendly and supportive throughout the ups and downs of what can be a stressful time. Thank you

We used Wintson Solicitors for the purchase of our first home. The process was well explained and done quickly by Michelle. The rest of the team were also really quick to answer and help when Michelle was not available.

I decided to use Winston Solicitors's by recommendation from a work colleague who was impressed by their service. I was selling and buying a property and the the whole process was extremely efficient, and not at all as stressful as I had imagined it to be. Emails were quickly responded to and any queries by phone were answered straight away. Big thanks to Leasa and the team for their excellent service.
