It needs to deliver a system that protects both   buyers/ sellers from unscrupulous buyers/sellers who drag their heels and back out of a sale at the last minute, causing untold stress and financial losses. For example, a system with a deposit or early contract exchange or even an element done on line through the Land Registry. There are plenty of workable solutions as examples which could be followed.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":6,"created_at":"2026-01-23T12:54:09.904Z","updated_at":"2026-02-23T16:30:43.552Z","rejected_at":"2026-02-23T16:30:41.168Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-01-24T12:33:00.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":null,"rejection":{"code":"duplicate","details":"Amend the home buying process in England to align with Scotland\r\nhttps://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/739512"},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
