At 8pm yesterday evening further lockdown measures were introduced to tackle the rising number of Coronavirus cases putting a strain on our NHS. Like many, we were glued to the TV to see what the new lockdown would look like and how this would effect our lives and livelihoods moving forward. For estate agents and our clients, the advice from the government hasn’t changed: • You can still move home. People outside your household or support bubble should not help with moving house unless absolutely necessary. • Estate and letting agents and removals 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. We are thrilled for our clients looking to move before the stamp duty holiday comes to an end in March and also for our team, who can continue to work with the same care, dedication and professionalism we saw throughout 2020. As a local independent business, we appreciate the privileged position afforded to us in this latest lockdown and pledge to do all we can to minimise the risks to our clients, our amazing team and the community as we continue to operate...
With the government announcing that the property market is staying open during England's second nation lockdown, we wanted to detail all the things we continue to do to keep you safe....
*Latest News* The Government have unlocked the housing market allowing us agents to get back to work and our wonderful customers to get moving. Viewings, Valuations and Home Moves are all back on the table as acceptable reasons to travel. Our policies for our first phase of reopening are contained in this blog post.
The Covid-19 pandemic and Property Ladder's working practice... Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, from Monday 23rd March 2020, we have taken the decision to work from home to ensure the best social distancing practice for our brilliant team and our lovely customers. Whilst our premises are shut, we are still working remotely so please call 01603 666006 (Norwich) or 01603 898100 (Spixworth) if you need us. We are able to conduct limited physical viewings, some virtual viewings, Facetime valuations (Or Whatsapp video, Facebook messenger, zoom, skype etc.) and telephone mortgage appointments so do please stay in touch. Whilst we want to do our bit to shut this nasty virus down ASAP, we know (From the many enquiries we're still getting) that there are people out there with property needs we want to help fulfil. Together we can beat this so stay strong Norfolk!
