CA response to Government home buying and selling reforms

Beth Rudolf, Director of Delivery at The Conveyancing Association, on today’s Government home buying and selling reform announcement:

“The Conveyancing Association welcomes these reforms, which we and other industry stakeholders have long campaigned for, in order to deliver a better home selling and purchase experience for all. By ensuring vital information is provided upfront, consumers and industry alike will benefit from greater certainty, reduced risk of fall-throughs and a faster, less stressful process. This is an important step towards the modern, transparent and efficient homebuying system that families and professionals have been calling for.  These reforms have both the ability to enable conveyancing lawyers to be proactive, and to support estate agents to comply with the law.  We would urge a further step to now be made via the regulation of property agents, so they know what, and how, to deliver in this area.”
