Well David Cox seems to have changed his tune from yesterday to today. This is the statement I viewed yesterday “We’re waiting to hear back from officials about their plans for guidance for the sector or at the very least updating the guidance that was issued a few weeks ago,” says David Cox, Chief Executive of ARLA (left). “I have had many emails from agents asking if the generic advice issued so far allows them to open branches or do viewings, inventories, appraisals or photography – but the detailed advice just isn’t there yet from government despite repeated requests from us for clarification. “I know there is huge pent up demand and the industry wants to go back to work, but we don’t know the answer to these questions at the moment.” But Cox is clear that agents who undertake accompanied viewings are taking huge risks – pointing out that a negotiator could see four of five different people at different properties in just a day, a clear chance for the virus to spread. “People forget that you can have the virus for several days without presenting symptoms and that’s the danger,” he says. “You could be passing it to dozens of people so it’s not a good idea.” But Cox says that unaccompanied viewings of empty properties where keys are left next to a doorway while the agent waits in the car could be acceptable now, but that a virtual viewing would be a better idea. “I sympathise with people who say we need to get back to work and get the economy going again, but look at Italy and Germany where an early release led to cases spiking once more.” That's a bit different to the above joint statement. Sorry, where is the specific guidance to us the agents who need to keep, staff, vendors and viewers safe. Have I missed that bit?

Acting dumb is not a good look. The guidance is simple to understand and not confusing. Go home and wait, like everyone else!
