Managing property viewings in lockdown

Since the first lockdown last March, the housing market has adapted well to the changes and evolved to offer homeowners safer ways to buy or sell.
 
From face coverings to dealing with the possibility of cancellations, viewings during the pandemic present many new challenges, but we're here to help you at each step, so we can ultimately safeguard the wellbeing and health of all parties.

View virtually, where possible 

The safest way to view property during the pandemic is from the comfort of your own home.
 
Many agents have turned to the latest technology during these uncertain times, allowing their listings to be viewed at every angle, so it's worth exploring your options online to narrow down your search. 
 
By using virtual video tours or FaceTime sessions, prospective buyers can see a 360-degree shot of every room before deciding whether they're interested in proceeding with an in-person viewing or not.
 
Be flexible where you can 

There are many things that can throw a spanner in the works and it’s worth preparing for any cancellations that could occur due to rising infection rates.
  
And if you have any COVID-19 symptoms, you must postpone a viewing and self-isolate in accordance with government guidelines.
Adhering to safety practices

So that we continue meeting your property needs, everyone should ensure the latest guidelines are followed to minimise risk and spread. This includes: 

- Having no more than two households inside a property at one time 

- Making sure masks are worn at all times 

- Avoiding contact with doors and surfaces, sterilising before and after viewings where unavoidable

- Keeping at a two-metre distance 

- Washing hands before, during and after the viewing
