The property market will remain open despite the new lockdown

BREAKING NEWS

The Prime Minister announced at 8pm yesterday evening people in England will be going back into lockdown today, following a surge in Coronavirus cases.

The tighter restrictions include schools shutting until the February half-term for most pupils. People must now work from home if they can, and only essential shops can remain open.
Which leads us to how these new measures will affect people wanting and needing to move home.

According to the Government’s latest advice issued on its website, people CAN still move home as long as they follow the guidelines in place.

The section which addresses the property market states:

Moving Home

You can still move home. People outside your household or support bubble should not help with moving house, unless absolutely necessary.

Estate agents, letting agents and removal firms can continue to work. If you are looking to move, you can go to property viewings.

Follow the national guidance on moving home safely, which includes advice on social distancing, letting fresh air in, and wearing a face covering.
