On Tuesday 24th March, the Federal Government announced changes to auctions and open for inspections with immediate effect from midnight tonight (12am AEST).
Consumer Affairs Victoria has confirmed that the real estate industry is still able to conduct Private Inspections and Online Auctions.
With the health and safety of our staff, clients and customers in mind, the new systems we are implementing will comply with Victorian guidelines and all legal requirements for auction.
Online Auctions
All of Fletchers scheduled auctions will now be conducted online, in an experience that offers two-way communication, live bidding and remote signing of digital contracts.
To participate, you do not need any special app, however, you will need to register 30 minutes prior to the auction time. Please advise us of your interest in a particular property, and we will send through bidder registration information.
Private inspections
If you are planning on booking a private inspection, we kindly ask that you follow our health and safety tips, which can be found by clicking here.
Please DO NOT attend an inspection, if:
• You are feeling unwell
• Have been in contact with someone diagnosed with coronavirus
• Have been in contact with someone who has recently been overseas
• You are under strict self-isolation instructions
• You have tested positive to coronavirus yourself
we offer you free hand sanitiser during the appointment.Virtual appraisals
If you are considering selling, please know we are still open for business and are happy to arrange a full valuation report to be sent out to you via email.
With social distancing in mind, we are now using the latest technology to view your property remotely in a way that is both effective and safe for everyone involved.
We know the local market and can provide you with a property appraisal over the phone, whether it's via FaceTime, Skype, WhatsApp or whatever you're most comfortable with so we can see your property through your eyes.
Please contact us on 9836 2222 or at info@fletchers.net.au if you would like to find out the value of your property and we will gladly be in touch.
Thank you for your patience during this difficult time.
