Covid-19 Guidelines

Since the 19^th July 2021, we are still urged by the Government that everyone involved in the home buying and selling process to continue to follow good hygiene practices, including regular hand-washing, sanitising, and cleaning. These measures will help prevent the spread of infection.

Coming into close contact with other people

While most legal restrictions on contact with others are no longer in place, we are still urged to continue with caution and personal responsibility in situations involving physical contact with others.

Face coverings

We recommend still wearing face coverings if visiting us at Ednaston Park, going to a viewing, conducting a viewing and on valuations.

Viewings

Aside from self-isolation rules, there are no legal limits on the households which may view a home in person now. We would, however, continue to recommend that buyers take advantage of any opportunities to view homes remotely before committing to view in person where possible. We will still ask you to attend a viewing wearing a face covering especially with some properties there can be areas difficult to social distance.

It is important that everyone continues to follow the safe hygiene practices as described above, and you should let in fresh air if people are viewing your property. Our main aim is keeping clients safe for all our customers.

Valuations

Aside from self-isolation rules, there are no legal limits on the households. We would still recommend keeping the amount of people to a minimum where possible. On valuations we will always ask if you would like us to wear a face covering especially if you have many areas where social distancing is difficult. Our main aim is keeping clients safe for all our customers.

Tradespeople in the home

Tradespeople can continue to work in other people’s homes unless customers or tradespeople are self-isolating.

Members of the public should ensure their homes are clean and safe before tradespeople enter. This may involve cleaning items being carried by removals firms, wiping surfaces such as worktops and door handles, letting fresh air into rooms, and seeking to delay work if either party is showing COVID-19 symptoms.

Going further than this guidance

The above guidance describes the minimum best practices you should follow to help keep yourself and others safe.

If you want additional measures or reasonable conditions in place for your move, please talk to us about how to proceed.

These measures could include, for example, placing a cap on the number of visitors viewing your home at any one time. These measures are at the discretion of the homeowner and we would ask you to accommodate their wishes.
