In all the comments above there seems to be one thing missing. The thought of what it is like for the consumers. As an estate agent going to a house that was due to exchange and complete on the same day just after it had fallen through was horrible. Everything was packed and ready to go. This can not be the right wat=y for the industry to go.

Surely no one is going to question the findings above. The house buying and selling process involves a number of different parties, with no one party in overall control. This has created a blame culture, "the holdup is somewhere else in the process". We need to change this to "What can we do now to help different parties prepare for the sale". We need to help the consumers, the buyer and seller prepare for the process. Their understanding of the process needs to improve and all parties need to prepare and communicate better.

Great that houses are selling strongly. Now is the time to work with your clients to make sure there information for the sale is ready asap. At PIP Vaults we provide a place to store and share the information with potential buyers to speed up conveyancing and reduce fall throughs. Some agents respond that that is the conveyancers job. I believe that estate agents have the opertunity to win this sector of the business and increase fees, or certainly stop the reducing fees. It is the estate agents who are liable to disclose "Material facts".

Andrew. I think this is a step towards your goal. It will not be reached over night but getting this information into the process as data rather than answers on a form is a big step forward. I remember discussing our PIP Vault with you and sharing this information with potential buyers during the mrketing phase of the sale can only help the process. tjhm

All to be supported. What is not being suggested is how this information can be shared with the potential buyers before they offer. The PIP Vault can do this.

One angle that seems to have been overlooked in these discussions, is how is this information going to be dislayed to potential buyers. One methord availiable today is the PIP Vault. A digital dataroom, opened by the estate agent, but where the agent, seller and their conveyancer can post relevant property documents that can be shared with potential buyers. Some say data is the new gold, but it is what you do with it that matters.

People agree the process is too slow. Using a stick rather than a carrot builds in a blame culture when it is often difficult to identify the cause or causes of a delay. Up front information displayed to potential buyers before they offer, on a system such as our PIP Vaults will help conveyancing times and reduce fall thoughs. Accepting change and flexiblity will be rewarded.
