With lockdown measures easing substantially from the 19th of July, here at Orchards, there are some regulations that will remain, and some that we have phased out as the world reopens.

During 2020, and into 2021, our staff were set up to work from home. We can confirm that the team are now office-based again, poised and ready to greet you (socially distanced of course).

At Orchards, we are positioned in an area with a high volume of period properties, dating back centuries; even the local market has been around for 800 years. We are in a locality that combines its history with easy and convenient modern living.

Last week, the first properties went onto the market in the East Midlands as the initial phase of the Government’s ‘First Homes’ scheme. This latest initiative has been designed to help local people onto the housing ladder. Coinciding with this is the launch of the ‘Own Your Home’ campaign, highlighting all the support available to purchasing your first home.
