The Prime Minister of our country – like a pop-up clown-in-a-box. Randomly appears, unable to convey a clear message. God help us all
Correct me if I’m wrong, but Boris has given the green light for viewings and valuations if we are sensible I.e wearing the correct protective gear and keep our distance? virtual viewings are good but can not fulfil a proper look round for a buyer or tenant. I think if the property is empty we and we are sensible we can start getting back to it. if the vendors/ landlords/ tenantsare there extra pre cautions need to take place? your thoughts would be good to know guys and girls.
Government guidance notes on what estate agents can and can’t do should be published during the week.
Until then, my understanding is that we’re still in the same position regarding appointments.
Interested to hear others interpretations though.
I think the ban on visits to homes stops us in our tracks
My understanding from last nights’ Boris speech is that we have not been told we can get back to doing viewings at all, only that if you can’t work from home you can go to work while still observing social distancing etc.; the problem is his speech was far too woolly to give us anything tangible to work with.
I don’t think we should be doing anything more on viewings until we are given solid guidance from both Govt & NAEA.
