Our priority is the health and well being of our colleagues, landlords, tenants and maintenance contractors. We continue to monitor the situation and implement changes in accordance to government and Public Health England guidelines.
Following the recent announcement from the government, we will re-open the office imminently, whilst keeping everyone safe. Restrictions will be in place and we will adopt procedures for all viewings and direct contact with our customers.
We understand that people still need to buy, sell, let homes and pay rent, so to continue providing a service we will be available to contact by phone, email, or face-to-face meeting (by appointment only).
The office will be assisted remotely by phone and email
