Tonnes of people out tending to their gardens and doing diy workmen out etc. If it stays as it was today you should be able to moveI am a Protection Adviser.

We are due to complete Friday, and have not yet exchanged. I am dreading official ruling coming out saying that only house moves that have already exchanged may proceed; I feel this is inevitable! Hence I want to exchange ASAP to afford us protection, but the rest of the chain is not so willing - bottom want to complete/exchange the same day. If the move doesn't happen in the next week we will be going back to market when all this is over I think.1

Owner of a Removal company here , no moves are being done after Friday and only doing those because customers had exchanged and completed , and we have stopped doing face to face surveys as soon as the lock down was issued . We wont be the only ones , every other company I spoke to are doing the same .
They may be companies who will still carry out the moves ( due to zero government clarification )Vuja De - the feeling you'll be here later1 -
