New coalition aims to make 'e-conveyancing' a reality

A new coalition of legal, government, and business groups is working towards making 'e-conveyancing' a reality. The aim of achieving upfront information in property transactions was revealed at the Digital Property Market Steering Group's conference. The government, in collaboration with the Home Buying and Selling Group, is identifying key information that needs to be made upfront. However, concerns were raised about the phrase 'upfront information' during a breakout session, as it seemed to encompass different steps in the home buying and selling process. The conference highlighted the need to address who the upfront information is aimed at and who sets the rules.
