Guidance for members unchanged as England moves to next stage of roadmap

From Monday 29 March the UK Government will start to ease lockdown restrictions on social contact, business and activities, and travel in England. Whilst there will be no changes to safety guidance for the property sector, Propertymark is reviewing the guidance that has supported members to work safely and given the UK Government the confidence to allow agents to keep working throughout lockdown.

Propertymark guidance on working safely

Propertymark’s guidance overlays UK Government guidelines for the sector and is tailored to help our members. 

This guidance is continually reviewed against input from Propertymark regional member representatives, taking account of the latest changes announced by the UK Government as well as those of the devolved nations and we are committed to keeping members updated.

We also continue to work with the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) to ensure that the property sector has a voice in shaping what agents are allowed to do.

While it’s good news that we’re moving to a new phase of lockdown, it's important agents continue to observe the restrictions. As members of the public are vaccinated, questions are being raised about the rules meaning the property industry has a crucial role to play.

We’ll continue to keep members updated and I urge you to review the guidance to ensure you’re up to date.
