Auctions and House Inspections Resume!
It has been announced that traditional property inspections and onsite auctions will resume from Saturday, 9 May.

- Use digital platforms where possible to remove physical contact.
- Maintain physical distancing of greater than 1.5m between people by:
- limiting the number of people viewing a property and attending an auction
- managing the number of people entering small spaces
- considering an extended timeframe for open house viewings and inspections
- using outdoor venues for auctions wherever possible
- using large venues for indoor auctions to maintain the 4 square metre rule.
- Promote good hygiene on premises and at auctions by:
- making hand sanitiser available
- ensuring clients do not touch surfaces
- cleaning the property before and after inspections.
- Keep detailed contact records of people attending open homes and auctions.
- Ensure people with any symptoms of illness do not attend a property.
