Coronavirus

The health and wellbeing of our customers, staff and the public is very important to us. We are closely following the latest government advice surrounding the Coronavirus situation in the UK, while we adapt our services to ensure our Sales Team can continue to support our customers on their home buying journey.

We understand that this is a confusing and difficult time for everyone. Here are some FAQs for those who may be planning to visit us over the coming days, or who are already in the process of buying a home with L&Q:

Are your Sales and Marketing Suites and Show Homes still open?

Our sales and marketing suites are now temporarily closed. However, our sales teams are still on hand and will be conducting all appointments via phone, email and, where possible, by virtual tour.

We’re taking these extra precautions to ensure the health and wellbeing of our customers, colleagues and members of the public.

Can I still buy an L&Q home?

Yes, we’re continuing to help all our customers on their home buying journey.

Just like most businesses across the UK, our sales teams are now working from home. We are holding appointments online and by phone, and can share information, such as brochures and floorplans, with you. We’re also working on offering virtual tours for as many of our developments as possible.

We are also aiming to being able to take new reservations remotely. In the meantime, please contact the relevant Sales Team via our website, and they can provide further information to you.

I am buying a home with L&Q – will this affect the process?

Sales are continuing across all our developments. We’re working to minimise any disruption to the process. We can still progress sales as well as facilitate completions and key handovers, but we’re taking extra precautions at every stage.

Our Sales Team are on hand to guide you through the process and discuss any concerns you may have, so please don’t hesitate to contact us. If you are ill or self-isolating and are due to exchange or complete on your home, please contact our Sales Team and we will support you however we can.

I am due to complete, will my completion date move?

We’re working hard to ensure planned completion dates remain the same for all finished homes in March and April. We’re taking extra precautions throughout the process, and our Sales Team will be in touch to arrange getting your keys to you safely. Our Sales Teams can deal with any concerns you may have, and they will work to find a suitable alternative if needed.

I have reserved and L&Q home off-plan, will my completion date change?

In line with government guidelines, and to ensure the health and safety of our colleagues, we have decided to close down all of our construction sites temporarily.

So it’s likely there will be a change to your completion date. Our Sales Team will be in touch as soon as possible with more information.

I have a Home Welcome appointment booked, will this still go ahead?

In line with government advice, all pre-booked Home Welcome appointments will now be carried out over the phone at the date and time you have booked. If you need to rearrange this appointment, please let the Sales Team know as soon as possible.

I need to book my Home Welcome appointment, how will this work? 

If you haven’t yet arranged your Home Welcome appointment, our Sales Team will be in touch to find a suitable time to carry out the appointment over the phone with you.

What else is L&Q doing to make sure residents are safe?

We are a regulated charitable housing association that owns and manages homes across the UK. Our teams are working very hard to ensure the health and safety of all our residents, and are here to support you at every opportunity.
