From today it is no longer mandatory for people to wear masks in shops in England. However, a new poll finds that the majority of agents are in favour of continuing to wear a face covering in the office or while on property viewings and valuations.
Some 356 readers responded to a Property Industry Eye survey over the weekend which sought to find out whether agents will continue to wear face masks, and expect the same of their clients.
The poll found that 60% of agents will still require face coverings for staff and visitors in branch.
Meanwhile, 70% of respondents will require face coverings for staff as well as home owners and applicants on property valuation and viewings.
Mask wearing continues to be mandatory in offices in Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland.
Whether or not estate agents continue to wear masks, it is important to note that all companies must carry out health and safety risk assessments, provide adequate ventilation and turn away those with coronavirus symptoms.
