PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
(16 December 2024)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if she will make an assessment of the potential merits of using digitisation to speed up the conveyancing process.

Asked by:
Adam Jogee (Labour)

Answer

The government recognises that the current home buying and selling process in England is slow, costly and stressful, and that conveyancing is one reason for this.

Digitalisation can make the home buying and selling process more transparent and efficient for the conveyancing sector.

His Majesty's Land Registry (HMLR) have already made progress on this issue through their Local Land Charges programme which will assist in providing quicker, more accurate responses to property search requests, potentially taking weeks off transaction times.
