As of the 4th of January 2021, the Scottish Government has given the green light for the property market to continue operating during the restrictions. This means that we are still able to provide our services to those interested in selling or moving house.
We have put in place some guidance to help protect our vendors, staff and customers. It is important that we all follow these rules to ensure the safety of everyone and prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
Please find below some frequently asked questions and answers as well as our guidance on how to remain safe while selling or buying a property.
Can I still move house during the current lockdown?
Yes. The Scottish Government has permitted house moves to still go ahead. This means you are still able to sell or buy a property in Scotland in tier 4.
Please see our guidance further below on current procedures in place to keep everyone safe.
Is your office open?
We are currently in the process of moving to a new office and hope to be working from there when able. Please keep an eye on our Facebook for more updates. We thank you for your patience.
Is now a good time to sell my property?
Yes! Rightmove data showed that sales went up over the festive period and we expect interest to continue through the New Year. Despite restrictions, people are still very much interested in buying properties. In a supply and demand scenario there are not enough house to adequately deal with the current demand.
Can I still get a valuation? How is it carried out?
You can still get a free valuation for your property. One of our agents will come out to value the property and follow guidelines to ensure your safety. We also offer desktop valuations if you would prefer but we advise that it is best for someone to value the property in person.
Are viewings still permitted?
Viewings are still permitted but it is important to follow safety guidelines.
