Nationwide responds to government’s homebuying reforms

18 June 2026

Commenting on the reforms to the homebuying process announced by the government, Henry Jordan, Nationwide’s Group Director of Mortgages, said:

“Buying a home can often be a slow, complex and stressful process, so we welcome the government’s proposals. They are a major milestone in the efforts to simplify and streamline the homebuying process.

“Speeding up homebuying isn’t just about convenience - it’s about helping more people complete their purchases with less frustration and fewer surprises along the way. Giving buyers key information upfront, at the point a property is listed, has the potential to transform the process – reducing unnecessary delays and giving people greater confidence to move quickly.

“We look forward to working with government and the wider industry to implement these proposals and deliver a simpler, faster and more transparent homebuying experience for everyone.”
