National Lockdown No.3... but the housing market remains open!

Quick Read- The property market remains open during the new national restrictions and here is what we are doing to help you move home in 2021.

THE ANSWER: YES- you can still move house during the new lockdown!

The government has introduced new lockdown measures for the third time. There is however good news for the housing industry as it has been given exceptions under the new restrictions, unlike the first national lockdown.

So what exactly does this mean?

Well the following activities are permitted and therefore exempt from the stay at home message:

  • Viewing residential properties to look for a property to buy or rent
  • Moving House
  • Visiting a residential property to undertake any activities required for the rental or sale of that property.
  • Valuations can continue and agents can visit your home to prepare marketing details (ie photographs & virtual tours)
