MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Throughout the Covid-19 crisis we have continued to provide expert commercial property advice to our clients across the Humber region. It is now time for a short break whilst we recharge our batteries.

EMPTY PROPERTIES - WINTER REMINDER

We’ve had a few cold mornings in recent days and although snow has been forecast, it hasn’t yet settled. There have been a couple of mornings where we’ve all had to de-ice the car before the morning commute. It is therefore a good time to remind owners and occupiers of properties to ensure that they are taking all the necessary precautions in respect of empty properties or properties which are likely to be unoccupied due to either Christmas holiday / shutdowns or as a result of Covid restrictions

COVID 19 WORKING UPDATE

As England enters the second period of lockdown to combat the spread of coronavirus on Thursday 5 November we want to assure all of our clients and professional contacts that the Clark Weightman team remains available to assist and work with you during this challenging time.

THE NEW NORMAL

The last few months have had to see us adapt to new working patterns and routines, but during that time we have continued to work hard for our clients across a wide variety of commercial property instructions. Having spent the majority of the last four months working from home our focus now is to spend the majority of our time working from the office.
