Lockdown Plea: Let agents work in offices, not at home

The Welsh Government has this week told agents in that country to work from home for 16 days from the end of this Friday, and is insisting branch offices be closed.
Doble has told Estate Agent Today he is critical of the Welsh Government’s definition of agency staff as ‘non-essential retail’ and thus obliged to close; while he accepts offices may have to close to the public, he maintains staff have vitally important work to do in offices, which cannot be done from home.
"We’ve done some work with the RICS to try and ram home the point, our main concern is that this becomes perceived wisdom and spreads to England” Doble has told EAT.
