    Breaking News – A Lockdown Update for Homeowners and Landlords in Chichester

    The Prime Minister announced last night at 8pm, 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.

    So how do these new measures 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.

    At the end of this article, there is a link to the information the Government issued this evening.

    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 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’re Here for Our Community

    We will be available to take calls and respond to any property related questions you may have about this latest twist in what’s been a traumatic time for many of us.

    But unlike the first lockdown hope is now on the horizon.

    Here is the link to the Government’s latest Coronavirus guidelines. Page 17 features the Moving Home advice.
