Closed petition Introduce conveyancing laws similar to those in Scotland, across England & Wales

I urge the UK Government to introduce laws for the conveyancing process currently used in Scotland to be used across England and Wales. I believe this could speed up property sales and stimulate the economy while reducing the burden on conveyancers and the margin for errors.

I think this could also reduce stress, financial losses, and uncertainty.

I want the Government to adopt Scotland's house buying and selling process in England and Wales as the current system can be archaic, slow, stressful, and often results in wasted time and financial losses due to the burden on conveyancers.

Adapting the process could reduce uncertainty and make transactions quicker and more efficient. I think this change would minimize the risk of mishandling a large volume of cases, ensuring smoother property sales and boosting the economy through faster market turnover.
