A second ‘lockdown’ with national restrictions for England comes into force this Thursday 5 November. However, unlike the first national lockdown the Government has confirmed that the housing market in England will stay open.
The Government has confirmed that
- Renters & homeowners will be able to move
- Removal firms and estate and lettings agents can operate
- Viewings and valuations of residential properties to buy and rent can continue through the national lockdown period
- Tradespeople will be able to enter homes
Estate and Letting Agents must continue to follow the existing COVID-19 safety guidance and should also follow government guidance on coronavirus and renting
