Home buying and selling reform roadmap

LSL supports the Government's ambition to modernise and improve the homebuying and selling process and welcomes today's publication of its reform roadmap.

The proposed reforms are part of a long-running process to address the structural inefficiencies in home buying and selling, with a focus on upfront information, greater transparency, improved use of property data and digitalisation, and higher professional standards across the market.

LSL delivers mission-critical B2B services right across the residential property and mortgage ecosystem, comprising Estate Agency Franchising, Surveying and Valuation, and Financial Services, with operations at multiple points across the transaction journey, including conveyancing, property searches and property condition reports. As a result, the Group is in a distinctive position to both support and benefit from these wide-ranging and much needed reforms.

Adam Castleton, Group Chief Executive Officer, LSL Property Services, said:

"We are pleased to see the Government set out the next steps in reforming the home buying and selling process. This is a long-running area of industry focus, and we support the ambition to make buying and selling homes more efficient, more transparent and easier for consumers to navigate.

"Our presence across the UK residential property and mortgage ecosystem gives us a clear view of where delays and duplication can occur, and how better upfront information, clearer standards and more effective use of technology and property data could help improve the process for buyers, sellers and professionals.

"The key will be practical and proportionate implementation. We look forward to continuing to engage constructively with policymakers and industry partners to help shape the successful delivery of these reforms."
