Key Government Guidance for Letting Agents - Part II
As we move into month 5 since the UK went into full-scale lockdown, further restrictions were reintroduced for Greater Manchester, East Lancashire and parts of West Yorkshire. People from separate households in these areas are not allowed to mix with each other in their homes or gardens, or in pubs and restaurants. In Leicester, A local lockdown has been in place for several weeks, restrictions are also in place on household visits.
Every day the Government issues information relating to the impact of Covid-19 on different aspects of life in the UK. It is challenging enough to deal with the day to day running of a letting agency and It is too much information for any one individual to read and absorb, as well as implement to not only ensure personal safety but also professional.
We hope the following links will provide some assistance in navigating some of the aspects that need to be dealt with.
A MESSAGE WITH A DIFFERENCE FROM THE MANAGING AGENT TO ALL LESSEES AND TENANTS
Dear Leaseholder,
I am writing to you all I’m afraid, about the main topic of the news!
However, I thought instead of a dry protocol letter I would like to share my thoughts with you all. I have found myself in reflective mood as this situation unfolds and apart from those of you that know me well, or have been to our office, you probably will not know of my interest in second world war aircraft and flying. I say that as I have collected for many years now prints of aircraft both signed and unsigned and they cover the office walls, (understandably, I am not allowed them at home apart from in my office there!). Indeed, over Alison’s desk is a signed print of two Lancasters from 617 ‘Dambusters’ squadron over the Mohne dam, appropriate as her Father himself flew in Lancasters as a Flight Engineer. This interest as a young man opened a lot of opportunities for me and I have been privileged to meet and have been friends with pilots and aircrew who actually flew in the second world war and have heard them tell their stories first hand, the good and the bad.
Thoughts on Being Isolated
As the impact of the Coronavirus unfolds, the prospect of a town or city or the whole country being shutdown is a real possibility. Everyday news of more deaths are published and stories of how Covid 19 is leaving it’s stamp on communities across the World come to light.
