Finally - Could this Government be getting something right! They're talking about fixing the home buying system The government’s just announced a major shake-up to make buying home cheaper, faster and less painful and my golly gosh don't we need it! They’re saying it could save buyers around £700 and shave a month off the process Here’s what they’re proposing: Sellers giving key info upfront when listing a property - GREAT Earlier binding contracts to stop deals collapsing or people being gazumped - GREAT But more digital tools to speed up ID checks and conveyancing - NOT SO GREAT, could this be digital ID? If they can actually streamline the legal side and cut out the endless back and forth between agents, buyers and solicitors - then that could be absolutely what we need What do you think? The reform we’ve needed for years or just another headline grab? Check out Sky News for more info
