How will the Two-week 'fire-break' lockdown Impact the Property Market?

Our Office & Showroom will close today until Monday 9th November as a result of the two-week fire-break period imposed by the Welsh Government. Our Team will be working from home but all existing channels of communication remain open and Bay Estate & Letting Agents will be operating as normal but with the following adjustments:

HOME MOVES:

Home moves can still take place during this period if the moving date can't be delayed until after the short lockdown period is over. Associated activities, for example, removals processes, property preparation, handover of keys, surveys and valuations can also take place in line with guidance on working in other people’s homes.

HOME VIEWINGS

Property viewings cannot take place during the fire-break period. Virtual viewings can continue. We have an extensive collection of virtual tours & walk-through videos for our rental and sale properties. Why not, request a virtual tour to see if a property is right for you and we can schedule in an in-person viewing for after the fire-break. Contact our team for more information.

REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE

Work carried out inside other people’s homes can only take place if it is urgent or to repair a fault which poses a direct risk to people’s safety – for example, emergency plumbing or to carry out an adaptation to allow that household to remain in their property. Work can take place where a property is vacant.

MORTGAGE SURVEYS

Surveyors can not enter occupied properties during the lockdown period. Surveys of vacant properties and those surveying the outside of a property can take place.
