HMO Success Podcast Episode 28: Emergency HMO Covid Update (Nov 2020)

What are the new lockdown rules for agents and HMO landlords when it comes to viewings and moving tenants into properties? In this very short episode, I explain what the new regulations mean and how to ensure you are staying safe. 

The regulations, released to the industry last evening, say individuals may leave home… 

…to undertake any of the following activities in connection with the purchase, sale, letting or rental of a residential property—

(i) visiting estate or letting agents, developer sales offices or show homes;

(ii) viewing residential properties to look for a property to buy or to rent;

(iii) preparing a residential property to move in;

(iv) moving house;

(v) visiting a residential property to undertake any activities required for the rental or sale of that property.

This clears up once and for all some of the uncertainties which until now have dogged industry preparations for the second lockdown, which will go on from tomorrow until December 2.
