From next weekend property inspections and on-site auctions will be permitted to be held after a six-week limited prohibition subject to strict guidelines being observed.
The key health guidelines to apply include the following:
- ensure physical distancing of greater than 1.5m is maintained
- promote good hygiene on premises and at auctions including hand sanitiser
- use digital platforms where possible to discourage physical contact
- keep detailed contact records of people attending open homes and auctions
- ensure people with any symptoms of illness do not attend a property
- manage the number of people entering small spaces
- consider extended times for open house viewings and inspections
- use outdoor venues for auctions wherever possible
- if auctions are held indoors, use large venues where physical distancing between household groups of one person per four square metres is possible.
