Moving home using a removal company
How can restrictions be lifted to allow home removals? Some ideas include:
Allowing removal companies to operate while observing social distancing practices, wearing masks etc
Restrict teams to a maximum of 2/3 who must show no sign or risk of contracting the disease
Owners / customers must not be present while removal taking place
Customers must prepare home and possessions appropriately before removal takes place
Inspection should be done by both parties and passed before removal can proceed
Removal company takes measures to mitigate risk of transfer of covid-19 once removal completed and a second inspection should be carried out upon removal completion.
Why the contribution is important
I am in the process of moving home and this was all put on hold when my removal company was forced to halt operation due to lockdown restrictions. My current contract states the exchange date as “14 days after the lockdown is lifted by the Scottish Government.” I have no way of knowing when that would be and I also have a buyer and a seller in the same situation. Terms of my contract also allows either party to exit the agreement with no penalty if the lockdown is not lifted by August 2020.
