Lockdown has seen many property owners take advantage of the stay at home rule. Some property owners have chosen to undertake well overdue repairs to their homes. Some have gone all out and undertaken major works on their homes.
Unfortunately, we know that some owners have been struggling financially and are not sitting in a good position with their mortgagees.
