Communities Secretary Sajid Javid has launched a call for evidence on making the home buying process cheaper, faster and less stressful for those involved.
As part of a continued drive to make the housing market work better, the Government wants to hear from everyone with an interest in home buying including estate agents, solicitors and mortgage lenders.
It aims to ensure that it address issues across the whole sector, from ways to tackle gazumping and reduce time wasting to increase commitment to a sale.
Views will be taken on:
Communities Secretary Sajid Javid said: "We want to help everyone have a good quality home they can afford, and improving the process of buying and selling is part of delivering that. Buying a home is one of life’s largest investments, so if it goes wrong it can be costly. That’s why we’re determined to take action to make the process cheaper, faster and less stressful.
"This can help save people money and time so they can focus on what matters – finding their dream home. I want to hear from the industry on what more we can do to tackle this issue."
The announcement will build on recent proposals to cut out abuses of leasehold, protections for renters and a crackdown on unfair managing agents, now we are looking at modernising the home buying process.
The Housing White Paper set out plans to fix the broken housing market, getting the right homes built in the right places and measures to improve affordability and protections for renters and home purchasers.
