Policy For Physical Viewing Of An Occupied Property

We are delighted to be able to offer you an appointment for a viewing of the above property. Our policy for physical viewings of occupied properties are:

• We will give you specific instructions on where to park on arriving at the property.
• We ask that only members from the 'family unit' attend and ideally as few in number as possible and no minors. If you cannot attend without bringing your children we will need to discuss this beforehand.
• We will open all doors (and windows to allow good air flow) so that you can walk round the property without the need to touch anything
• Because the property is currently occupied we will arrange for the occupiers to either vacate the premises prior to you entering or it may be they have permitted us to have access whilst they are out, in either event, we will be present in the house whilst the viewing is undertaken
• Due to the above, it may be challenging to adhere to social distancing in parts of the house so we ask that you ensure you bring appropriate face masks for anyone looking to enter the property, if you do not have them we will not permit the viewing to proceed
• We will wear a face mask that will be disposed of as soon as the viewing is completed
• We will leave hand sanitizer at the entrance for you to use as you enter the property
• We ask that you do not take an excessive amount of time viewing but appreciate that you do of course want you to see everything without feeling rushed
• Please DO NOT touch handles or work surfaces, please DO NOT go beyond the door to bathrooms or ensuites and please DO NOT open any cupboard doors, this way we can ensure we do not tempt fate with the potential spread of the Coronavirus
• if you want to discuss anything this can be done at the end of your viewing whilst adhering to social distancing outside of the premises
• Please confirm by return email answers to the following:

Please advise us if you or a member of your household or your immediate family:-

• Is feeling unwell or has any possible symptoms of Coronavirus (a recently started cough or high temperature or any sort of tightness in the chest or trouble breathing or has lost their sence of taste or smell)
• Has come into contact with anyone who has displayed symptoms of Coronavirus
• Is currently self-isolating and when the self isolation commenced
• Whether there are any occupiers in the property who are clinically vulnerable, over the age of 70 or occupiers with underlying health conditions
• Whether there are any occupiers in the property who are clinically extremely vulnerable and are shielding

It is your responsibility to ensure you sanitize your hands properly on exiting the property and ensure you do not remove your face mask until social distancing can be adhered to.

We want to make your viewing as safe as possible.

We can all help control the virus if we all stay alert. This means you must:

Do not leave home if you or anyone in your household has symptoms.
