Digital system set to speed up house sales

The government will digitalise data sharing in property sales in order to tackle delays in transactions and speed up the homebuying process. Labour has initiated a 12-week project to establish rules for data exchange among conveyancers, lenders, and other stakeholders, aiming to modernise the process. Housing and planning minister Matthew Pennycook stated: "We are streamlining the cumbersome homebuying process so that it is fit for the 21st century."
