The main points we would draw your attention to are detailed below;

If you or anyone in your household have coronavirus symptoms, you should stay at home and self isolate and not attend any viewings or request visits from our agents.

Viewings

Viewings will only be conducted one person at a time at the property and only if that property is empty. Only one person per household can view a property at a time.

Sales viewings are only permitted for people in a proceedable position, proof of which will need to be provided beforehand.

When you attend a viewing please wait in the car outside the property or on the pavement if you have taken public transport.  Our viewer will call you forward when you can enter the property.

Please ensure you are wearing gloves and a face covering and respect social distancing throughout the viewing.  You should always stay two meters away from our agent or other people near the property .  You should bring your own hand sanitizer to use after the viewing.

You will not be permitted to enter the property if you attend without wearing gloves and face coverings.

Jayman Agents must wear PPE when conducting these appointments.

Offers on sale and lettings properties

Offers on properties for sale and let should be made by telephone or email.  All identification checks and reference checks will be conducted via email and facetime if required.

Moving in / key collection

You should arrange directly with local removal companies and follow government advice regarding social distancing when preparing to move.  All key handovers will be done contact-free by either being left in a key safe of by a pre-arranged collection appointment.

Valuations

We can conduct valuations on a case by case basis. Please contact us for information.

Any valuations that we attend must follow a strict policy whereby the property is empty and the owner, if present, opens all doors and windows 15 minutes prior to our agents arrival and waits outside the property whilst the valuation is completed. Jayman agents must wear PPE when attending properties.
