Similar to the lockdown in November 2020, most things are allowed for the work of landlords (subject to the COVID-19 precautions).
Tradespeople
Tradespeople may continue to work in the
homes of individuals implementing the usual measures.
Viewings
Estate and letting agents and companies for removals can continue to operate. You can go to property viewings if you are looking to move.
Where possible viewings should be carried out virtually or by appointment only with no open house viewings to take place.

At the end of the viewing, surfaces such as door handles should be cleaned.
Moving home

The current eviction suspension is set to expire on 11 January 2021 however this may be extended.
