New plans to make the home-buying process faster, cheaper, and more transparent

​The UK Government has announced new plans to make the home-buying process faster, cheaper, and more transparent. Proposals include publishing key property information before listings go live, offering the option of binding contracts, and tackling the high rate of failed transactions.

If implemented, the reforms could save first-time buyers an average of £710 and shorten completion times by up to four weeks, a welcome boost for buyers, sellers, and professionals working across conveyancing and finance.

For legal and financial recruiters, this shift could reshape demand for talent, with greater emphasis on transparency, efficiency, and client communication throughout the transaction process.
