The current coronavirus (COVID-19) lockdown is absolutely critical to the health of the UK. But it’s also a source of anxiety and frustration for many. And the feelings of worry and uncertainty are even higher for individuals who had begun the process of moving house before the restrictions were put in place. Here we take a look at the latest recommendations for buying or selling a house in lockdown and how the solicitors at Nyland & Beattie can help.
Whether you are buying your first home, or are looking to downsize now the kids have flown the nest, it is a confusing time when it comes to house sales. The housing marketing has changed significantly in recent weeks. And your conveyancers will be doing all they can to move your house sale or purchase forward as much as possible in the current circumstances.
WHEN WILL MY HOUSE SALE GO THROUGH?
At Nyland and Beattie, our team will aim to keep progressing your transactions. We are complying with the current government regulations and where possible, we are still completing several types of transaction.
If you are in a chain or self-isolating, then some house transactions are likely to be delayed until coronavirus restrictions are lifted.
If you wish to complete on your sale/purchase, you must comply with the current guidelines issued by the government. You must also ensure you comply with all social distancing guidelines and restrictions.
WHAT CAN NYLAND & BEATTIE’S CONVEYANCERS DO DURING LOCKDOWN?

We will be progressing and completing (if possible) on the sale and purchase of vacant properties to ensure there are no unnecessary delays to your case.
We are also ensuring that the transaction is moving forward while protecting your interests as much as possible.
