Can I move house during the Coronavirus pandemic?

Yes. The government has made it clear that people who wish to move home can continue to do so in all tiers, including during the national restrictions starting on the 5th of January 2021. This needs to be done safely and the process may be different to usual.

What is a video home removals survey?

A video home removals survey is where your pre-move consultation appointment is done using a video chat app on your smartphone or tablet.
