Coronavirus Update – Physical Valuations
Last updated – Wednesday 13 May
In light of the recent government announcement, we are expecting physical valuations in England will be able to resume shortly. We are working closely with our surveying firm, Connells to ensure that all physical valuations which have been on hold during lockdown, are booked in and completed at the earliest opportunity while ensuring social distancing takes place as much as possible during the valuation, for the safety of both vendors, owner-occupiers and surveyors. Please bear with us during this time while we work through the detail of this. There will be further updates provided to our coronavirus FAQs section in the coming days.
