As we all know we’ve just entered another lockdown period with us all hunkering down for another 4 weeks waiting to see friends and family the other side 👩‍👦‍👦👩‍👧‍👧

Before I talk about the property market, from the staff at NGU to all those people you may know or if you’ve had to close a business, had to go back on furlough – our hearts and thoughts go out to you or those affected ❤❤

We’ll get through this I’m sure!

In regards to the property market, the lockdown has only slightly affected the way we work:

• We remain working with staff divided between the office and home
• Our Covid secure protocols remain in place with any contact with the public requiring the usage of the correct PPE
• You can still sell, buy or rent a property through ourselves – our staff are able to safely visit properties to take photos and videos for marketing as well as conducting viewings
• Our maintenance & development teams are continuing working at properties, communicating with any tenants prior to arrival

In regards to the government I’ll just quickly summarise the further support they’ve provided:

• Mortgage holidays available up to 6 months
• Furlough has been extended to 31st March
• Bounce back loans can now be applied for up to 31st Jan

It’s our job to help you navigate these choppy waters and having been working under various restrictions now for close to 8 months, I can reassure you we can tackle what’s thrown at us head on.

You’ve given us that responsibility to manage your property which we take incredibly seriously and we’ll continue to manage it for your long term benefit as well as for your tenants.

Stay safe.
