Estate Agents Navigate New Regulations Amid Housing Market Reopening

Cardwells Estate Agents and other property firms in Bolton are cautiously resuming operations following the government’s unexpected relaxation of regulations governing home moving. With the housing market effectively reopened, allowing home viewings that were previously on hold due to lockdown measures, estate agents are experiencing a surge in activity. While they welcome the resumption of business, they are keen to implement stringent precautions to ensure safety amidst the ongoing pandemic. Sally Jones, director of sales at Purple Property Shop, notes the influx of inquiries for viewings since the announcement but emphasises the importance of proceeding cautiously to safeguard everyone’s well-being.

Mr. Cardwell underscores the importance of prioritising safety by initially conducting virtual viewings to minimise physical contact. He observes the rapid adaptation of clients to virtual tours and anticipates their growing popularity. Moreover, Mr. Cardwell emphasises the agency’s commitment to prioritising the well-being of staff, clients, and their families while contributing to the revitalisation of Bolton’s property market.
