PROPERTY VIEWINGS:
Prospective Viewers will confirm to Hylton Hill that they have viewed all the respective property details including photo's, floor plans and video's on our Website by EMAIL before a Viewing Appointment is arranged.
Once the above has been confirmed, the Prospective Viewer will by EMAIL confirm that:

You or anyone in your household are not symptomatic

More than one viewer at a time will not be allowed so if you require a partner, relative or friend to attend also you must make us aware of it before the Appointment is made.
