Commenting on the MHCLG consultation, Robin Rouwenhorst, Mortgage Policy Manager at the Building Societies Association said:

“We welcome the consultation on reforming the home buying and selling process. The proposals have the potential to make moving home simpler, quicker and less stressful for buyers and sellers.

“Upfront information and smarter digital tools will give people greater confidence, while helping transactions to move faster and more smoothly. We look forward to working with government and industry on the proposals to modernise the homebuying process.”
