>The government is working on plans to reduce the average length of time it takes to legally transfer property down **to 8-weeks**. Currently, it takes on average between **8 and 12.**
It takes 8-12 months but they left out the word ‘months’.

It’s like the system is designed to milk the maximum amount of money out of every transaction by coming up with these utterly ridiculous processes that seem to go around and around in circles with % fees.
Even 8 weeks is utterly insane in 2025 and most of those transactions aren’t particularly complicated.

>process of buying a home and reduce probate time
Is this the main reason we are having a housing ~~crisis~~ emergency? I think not. It feels like a smokescreen to pretend they are doing something but all they are doing is running in circles.
Stop these nonsense and build more houses.

No house should be legally allowed go up for sale until probate is over.

No house should be on the market without probate having been completed, equally, sellers should be bearing the cost of an independent inspection (backed by compulsory indemnity) that should be available to all purchasers upon inquiry, the fact that this country still doesn’t have e-conveyancing is also utterly ridiculous..

This is ridiculously unfair on the estate agents who need time to make their ghost bids..

Fantastic. This will make the most minor impact on the housing shortage but they’ll do anything to have a soundbite when challenged next.
