We have just witnessed one of the biggest changes to hit property in years, and it's something we've never covered on this channel before. If you're buying, selling, investing, or planning to in the next few years, then this affects you. I'm talking about the new legislation the government has just laid out that affects every house sale in England and Wales. 

Right now, around one in three agreed sales collapses before completion. The average sale takes 120 days after the offer is accepted. That's about 60% longer than the same process took back in 2007. 

Failed sales cost buyers and sellers £400 million per year. That doesn't just highlight a small inefficiency. That's a completely broken system, and the government's now finally trying to fix it. 

So, in this episode, I'll be breaking down the legislation changes and the key points to save you having to work it all out. Make sure you stick around till the end because I'm going to tell you how to get ahead of this before any of it becomes law. This is an extremely important change for anyone in the property market, whether you want to buy or sell.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Currently, around one in three agreed sales in England and Wales collapses before completion. Offers aren’t binding until exchange, creating months of delay, wasted costs and room for either side to walk away or change the price late in the process. Something the government is working to change.

The proposed reforms would make searches, property condition, and leasehold costs available when the property is put on the market. When you know how to read and interpret these documents properly you are better able to create and propose profitable deals.

You’ll need to be certain that the numbers work because in the future walking away without a valid reason could mean paying a penalty. 

Investors who prepare now and develop stronger deal-analysis skills will be able to find  more profitable opportunities under today’s rules whilst also making sure that they are ready for the proposed changes.
