Indeed, I've done this for several years and have enjoyed far better success than when I let agents find me them. (who quite frankly, would accept anyone in order to get the cash in - and that was a nationwide company) This is a job of mine (well not my main job) that can't be done from home so I consider it acceptable to meet a tenant provided social distancing rules are complied with. Anyway, it's in a few weeks time so we'll be out of this nonsense by then otherwise the country will be back in the stone age.

Statutory Instrument, The Health Protection (Coronavirus, Restrictions) (England) Regulations 2020 6 (2) (l)to move house where reasonably necessary. There's no need to ''view'' in the day of digital images. BTW, three replies via Gumtree already.

I've no idea. I had some others a few months ago that came from HK and paid 6 months upfront. It's an area where a fair number of immigrant workers reside. I'll put it up on Gumtree and see what happens.

Good morning all. I have an apartment becoming vacant next month. A bugger as the tenant has never missed payments and looks after the place. Anyway, regarding the Chinese virus, is there anything that I should be additionally aware of? I'm thinking they pay their deposit and months rent, move in and instantly claim a rent holiday IAW government guidelines. Maybe ask for 6 months rent upfront, but I think that probably rules out 95% of tenants. Is it a buyers or sellers market at the moment? Interestingly, Rightmove have very few similar properties available in the area which I don't fully understand. Regards Julian.
