We note with interest that the residential property market in England is being allowed to re-open from today. The NI Executive is clearly taking a more cautious approach given they have now published their \u201croutemap\u201d to recovery without any indicative timeline or dates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The NI legislation on Covid-19 restrictions have to date closely followed the English model which has now changed from moving house \u201cwhere necessary\u201d to effectively allowing all normal activities to resume as long as social distancing is observed. We would hope the Executive here will adopt a similarly pragmatic approach as soon as they feel able to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our experience to date during the coronavirus lockdown has been that the vast majority of clients have put transactions on hold rather than pulling out altogether. So, for those waiting to move, here are a few thoughts on some of the factors they should consider:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The issues considered above are not an exhaustive list of things to think about but they should give an indication that careful planning will be needed to project target completion dates.

We are still working both remotely and with a skeleton staff in the office. All conveyancing files are up to date with all documentation allocated to cases and as such we are ready to move as soon as you are (once restriction levels permit this of course).
