🏡 Buying or selling a home?

The conveyancing process can take 12–16 weeks, sometimes longer, making an already big life decision feel even more stressful.

Now, proposed reforms could change the way homes are bought and sold, with plans including more information being provided upfront, digital property logbooks, electronic signatures, greater use of technology and earlier commitment from buyers and sellers.
