Rejected petition Change the conveyancing process in England to make buying & selling more secure.
We understand that approx 30% of home sales in England breakdown and sometimes even at the point of exchange - when people have put time, effort and their heart into buying / selling a property!
Every country in the world has a regulated system other than England - let’s get this changed!
More details
Loads of hard earned money is being spent in trying to buy / sell properties and the unregulated system in England is causing unnecessary stress!
Let’s make a change now!
