Change the way buying & selling property in England works.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

The current system is slow & incredibly stressful. Too many sales fall through at the point of exchange, after weeks of waiting, costing those involved thousands with no recompense.

The entire process needs to be overhauled & something closer to the Scottish model implemented.

Formal changes need to be made to ensure that the entire system is revised.

The country will benefit from a more efficient system with less people being left in limbo for weeks on end, not knowing when they will be able to move, or changing plans at the last minute because one person in the chain pulls out.
