Lockdown Update for home movers in Attleborough & East Harling

The Prime Minister announced yesterday evening that people in England will be going back into lockdown from 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.

Which leads us to how these new measures will 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.
