Melburnians may well feel as though their head is spinning with the reintroduction of stage 4 restrictions yesterday. After all, it’s been a mere 7 weeks since the previous snap lockdown. However, having recently emerged Victori-ous from a lockdown involving the Delta variant, we should be confident that we will do the same this time around.
Certainly, anyone seeking to buy or sell property will be wondering what the latest restrictions mean for the real estate sector. Two of the most wide-reaching restrictions for the industry are:
- Property auctions can only be conducted remotely (i.e. online)
- Final inspections and signing of contracts must be done remotely or postponed under the current restrictions
There’s always a range of specific questions that arise in this situation and the most likely and reliable source of an answer is the Victorian Government’s COVIDsafe Settings: Homes and Property page.
Home buyers should be confident that online auctions are a great way to view and bid for property. They are very seamlessly conducted and offer the convenience of attending auctions from the comfort of your home.
