Petition Have an enquiry into the English conveyancing system.
The English Conveyancing system is failing.
Homebuyers & Vendors are under an unfair amount of stress and anxiety, caused by a system that in 2020 should, & could be an infinitely smoother experience.
I Feel that a great amount of good could come from an enquiry into these failings.
More details
I have worked within the removals industry for over 20 years. Year on year I keep thinking that the “system cannot get any worse “ but it unfortunately does.
Properties falling through at the last minute. Solicitors delaying moving dates as late as 4pm the day before.
Monies not being transferred within business hours, meaning that a whole chain of buyers/vendors goods could be on a vehicle for days.
We regularly have clients in tears on the phone due to the immense amount of stress caused.
