Dear Members & Business Partners

Given recent developments around Covid-19, we wanted to keep you informed of the steps we are taking to support business continuity and the welfare of our members, partners and employees.

Our business is an online business and we have contingency plans in place whereby all or part of our staff can work from home, in line with Government guidelines, if needed. This will not have any adverse effect on our efficiency and ability to perform our duties. Open days will be tightly controlled and safe, operated on a 1 in, 1 out basis with hand sanitizer available at the door.

It is possible however that due to the number of parties involved that there could be some delays stemming from the effects of the pandemic, i.e. key people having to self-isolate etc. We will be working hard to ensure matters are kept on track and will continue to communicate with all parties involved throughout our marketing period and the 90 days conveyancing process that follows. In some cases delays maybe unavoidable and we would ask for your support. Please do observe the special conditions on the listing regarding potential, Covid-19 related, delays to the 90 day completion timeframe.

We will continue to promptly divulge and act upon advice given by the Government and our regulatory body The Property Ombudsman (TPO).
