A conveyancing portal with everything under one roof
In response to a White Paper on modernising the UK's house moving system, the Conveyancers Association has proposed a twelve point reform programme that could revolutionise the way we move home.
One of CA's most important proposals is a portal for house movers where everything is literally under one roof, including all the relevant documents and evidence of how the sale is progressing. Other proposals include centralising ID verification to reduce fraud; a conditional contract or reservation agreement (with a five day cooling off period) at the offer stage; the monitoring of local authorities performance; providing a hard credit report to elicit a more reliable lending decision and arranging for completion funds to be paid the day before completion. It is anticipated that the 12 step programme, if implemented, will lead to a much more open, transparent and reliable system.

"The Conveyancers' Association has called for sweeping changes to the house buying and moving system to create a "more certain and transparent process."
