England is facing yet another national lockdown in a bid to curb rising coronavirus rates.
New measures were announced by the Prime Minister last night as he instructed people to stay at home.
While some businesses have been forced to close under the new rules, some essential services remain open.
But does this include moving home? And what about estate agents?
According to the government guidance, house moves are still allowed to take place.
One of the criteria where you are allowed to meet others from outside your household or bubble is to facilitate a house move.
Estate agents, valuers and removals firms can keep operating so viewings are also allowed to take place, although with Covid-19 safety restrictions in place such as wearing face masks.
It does advise for viewings to only take place when buyers are seriously considering buying a property, and should be arranged by appointment.
People outside your household or support bubble should not help with moving house unless absolutely necessary, the guidance also states.
