Understandably this month has focused heavily on the Government’s consultations on home buying and selling reforms and the use of material information in the property process. The CA is currently working with all stakeholders to produce its responses but for some initial reaction we would urge you to review the comments made by Beth Rudolf at the start of the month, plus read her articles in Mortgage Solutions and the Law Society Gazette.
