Eden Conveyancing comments on home buying and selling reform consultation outcome

22 June 2026

Katrina Lamont, Head of Legal Practice at Eden Conveyancing, commented:

"As a digital-first conveyancing firm, we welcome the government's roadmap. It identifies the biggest cause of delay and frustration in home moving: information arriving too late and through multiple disconnected channels. Getting trusted, standardised data into the process early speeds transactions up and reduces fall-throughs. For too long, problems have surfaced only after an offer is accepted, once buyers and sellers have already spent time, money and emotional energy.

"The prize now is delivery. Common data standards, secure information sharing and sensibly paced reform will turn this ambition into shorter, more certain transactions. We look forward to playing our part, alongside estate agents, lenders and surveyors, in building a faster, fairer and more transparent home buying and selling process."
