The Government have confirmed that Estate and Letting Agents can continue to operate and have confirmed that if you are looking to move that you can go and view properties.

Now Beaumont Gibbs are aware that there is a contagious virus out there and want to assure you that we as a company are offering all of our customers peace of mind that we will be following strict Covid protocols when we attend any properties.

All our staff will wear a face mask and wear disposable gloves. These are disposed of after each property we visit.

Any viewings that take place, we will ensure that social distancing is adhered to and again ensure that people who view any property will be wearing a face covering and supplied with gloves as well, if they do not have their own.

We ask people where possible, not to touch any door handles and surfaces, so to avoid any cross contamination.

THIS TAKEN FROM THE GOVERNMENT WEBSITE:

Moving home:

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.

BELOW IS THE LINK TO WHAT YOU CAN AND CANNOT DO. SEE PAGE 17 RE HOME MOVING.


Sincerely

The team at Beaumont Gibbs

May is a key month for sellers, but more homes are competing for attention. If you are thinking of moving this spring, here is how the current market is shaping buyer behaviour and what helps a home stand out.

The rental market remains active in May 2026, but conditions are changing. Demand is still strong, rent growth has eased, and tenant expectations are rising. Here is what landlords should be thinking about now.
