Coronavirus: England housing market is released from lockdown
The government has set out plans to restart England's housing market, which has been in deep freeze since the coronavirus lockdown.
"This critical industry can now safely move forward, and those waiting patiently to move can now do so."Home viewings are not permitted under lockdown regulations and their land registries are either running a reduced service or are not registering transactions.
Providing support for smaller developers by allowing them to defer payments to local councils to ease cash flow Mr Jenrick said guidance from Public Health England must continue to be followed. For example, anyone advised to self-isolate should continue to do so and not move home. Expect a lot more haggling over price from both sides who have yet to have formally agreed what they will pay or accept, especially if getting a mortgage is harder.
The new guidance includes the permission for trades people to operate in homes, providing they follow social distancing advice.
