Following last evening's announcement by the Prime Minister that England will move to a new national lockdown, the government have issued further advice regarding the housing market for those who are looking to move home.
The new guidance states:
"You can still move home. People outside your household or support bubble should not help with moving house unless absolutely necessary. Estate and letting agents and removals firms can continue to work. If you are looking to move, you can go to property viewings. Follow the national guidance on moving home safely, which includes advice on social distancing, letting fresh air in, and wearing a face covering."
Since the beginning of the pandemic, we at Aldreds have been committed to offering a continued best possible service to our clients whilst doing our upmost to operate as safely as possible and in line with the government guidance.
Following this latest news of a new national lockdown, we will continue to monitor the advice given to us and operate as safely as possible for the benefit of our staff, customers and all others that we come into contact with. Responsible behaviour by everyone involved and adherence to safety guidance throughout is more important than ever in these coming weeks ahead.
If you are looking to move home in the near future, we would be delighted to hear from you at any of our local Aldreds branches and pleased to offer you the best possible advice and assistance as always!

Our Broadland Stalham office are currently marketing this exciting development of all bungalows by Badger Building in Rollesby. As is usually the case in the Broadland area, demand is currently really high for high quality, new build detached bungalows and this development is no different. With expected completion of the first few plots to be in the Spring of next year, early interest has already been really high with sales agreed on 40% of the development already!
Following on from this sales success, we have just released Plot 7, The Rollesby, at £365,000. This is a three bedroom detached bungalow with an impressive open plan kitchen diner, single garage and a spacious corner plot.

This is the date that the current stamp duty holiday arrangements come to an end. In early July the government announced that until 31st March any primary residence house purchases up to £500,000 would be exempt from stamp duty. This coupled with a housing market that was already bouncing strongly back from lock down has caused a surge in house transactions. This has resulted in some areas of the house buying process taking longer with delays to such things as surveys and mortgage offers.
If you are still looking at moving before 31st March 2021 to take advantage of this holiday from stamp duty there is still time. However, you should be thinking about starting the process now!
