What’s Happening
In response to the high rates of COVID-19 infection in the community, the UK Government has confirmed an extended localised lockdown in Leicester for at least two weeks from today, 30 June 2020.
This means that all physical Valuations already “booked” and “to be booked” beyond this date will move into a hold position until Government guidelines are updated enabling physical valuations to begin again.
What you need to know:
Measures will apply to both the City of Leicester and, “the surrounding conurbation including, for example, Oadby, Birstall and Glenfield”. The following areas in Blaby District are affected by the restrictions:
- Braunstone Town (including Fosse Park)
- Glenfield
- Glen Parva
- Leicester Forest East (East of the M1)
- Thorpe Astley.
In Charnwood, the lockdown applies in:
- Birstall
- Thurmaston.
We await more detailed information from the UK Government on impacted areas
What you need to do:
For any new applications , we will attempt an alternative Non-physical valuation on the property in the first instance, however, where this is not possible your customer’s application will be placed on hold and our valuation partners will be in contact with you when restrictions are lifted.
For your clients applications who were already booked in for a physical valuation our valuation partners will be in contact with you to confirm the application is on hold.
