COVID-19 Update

TWO-WEEK FIRE-BREAK

On 19th October 2020, First Minister Mark Drakeford announced that the Welsh Government will impose a two-week fire-break period. This requires Welsh residents to stay at home from 6pm on Friday, 23rd October until Monday, 9th November.


OFFICE CLOSURE

Following the advice from the Welsh Government, our office will be closed from 6pm on Friday, 23rd October 2020 until we receive further guidance.

 

We will be continuing to work remotely and would urge you to contact us by telephone or email on 01978 757312 or rentals@wrexrent.com.

HOME MOVES

Home moves can still take place during this period if the moving date cannot be delayed until after the short lockdown period is over. Associated activities, for example, removals processes, property preparation, handover of keys, surveys and valuations can also take place in line with guidance on working in other people’s homes.

PROPERTY VIEWINGS

Property viewings cannot take place during the fire-break period. Virtual viewings can continue.

REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE

Work carried out inside other people’s homes can only take place if it is urgent or to repair a fault which poses a direct risk to people’s safety – for example, emergency plumbing or to carry out an adaptation to allow that household to remain in their property. Work can take place where a property is vacant.


Thank you very much for your continued support and understanding during these difficult times.
