Sajid Javid launches a call for evidence to improve the home buying process

October 23, 2017

Communities Secretary Sajid Javid launches a call for evidence on making the home buying process cheaper, faster and less stressful for those involved.

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 government is committed to improving the existing home buying and selling process in order to make it cheaper, faster and less stressful.

The government is seeking views and suggestions for improvement from anyone who has an interest in the process.

Responses to this call for evidence will help the government to formulate its future work programme of improvements.

Full details on ‘Open Consultation’ closing 11.45pm on 17th December 2017 click here.
