NOTE
Although restrictions are now easing we would kindly ask that viewing appointments ARE NOT MADE if any party member is showing symptoms or has been asked to self-isolate. Viewings can now involve more than two members at a time but, we would again request that discretion is used. We would also suggest that masks are taken on viewing appointments just in case a particular seller requests that these are still worn.
