The guidance also claims that those visiting agent\u2019s offices or viewing properties should wear an appropriate face covering (unless exempt).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Those selling their properties have also been encouraged to leave them for viewings, and adhere to government guidance around preparing properties for viewings \u2013 including cleaning hard surfaces, door handles and floors, and opening internal doors before prospective buyers visit with agents.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Those due to move house over the course of the next month have also been advised to do as much of the packing themselves as is possible, and to speak to removal firms in advance of the moves if they are unable to pack themselves up.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>More advice on moving home can be found on the government website guidance page <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/guidance\/government-advice-on-home-moving-during-the-coronavirus-covid-19-outbreak\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On the 31st October, Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced the new England lockdown, which was implemented on the 5th November.
