As an RICS regulated firm, we’ve carefully followed the government led guidance on physical inspections and are adhering to the recommended procedures.
Covid-19 safety guidelines:
▪ Adhere to current social distancing measures at all times.
▪ Sanitise keys after each handover.
▪ Request that occupiers, where possible, are not in the property during inspections and that internal doors are left open.
▪ Adhere to Public Health England (PHE) guidelines on cleaning hands thoroughly prior to and upon leaving the property.
▪ Comply with current PHE guidelines, ensuring appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) is utilised prior to entering the property.
▪ Only take the equipment and tools actually required for the inspection to the property, according to the service delivered.
▪ Where the occupier is set to be present, request that they follow the government social distancing guidelines.
▪ Aim for as minimal amount of contact with surfaces when inspecting elements of the property as possible.
▪ Keep a record of inspection using appropriate recording equipment, including any limitations of the inspection as a result of restrictions.
▪ Take an adequate number of photographs and videos. These can be especially helpful for restricted or inaccessible areas.
