Podcast Description: Home Buying and Selling Set to Become Faster and More Affordable

The UK property market is set for a major transformation! The government has announced ambitious reforms aimed at modernising the home buying and selling process, making it quicker, cheaper, and less stressful for millions of people. Currently, transactions take nearly five months on average, but new digital solutions will improve efficiency, transparency, and reliability.

🔑 Key Changes Coming:
✔ Digitisation of Property Data – Faster access to key information, reducing paperwork and delays.
✔ Digital Identity Verification – No more repeated ID checks, making transactions smoother.
✔ Lower Fall-Through Rates – One in three transactions currently fail, costing buyers and sellers £400 million a year—this reform aims to prevent that.

By learning from international models like Norway, where transactions complete in just one month, the UK is set to revolutionise the property market.

🏡 Leaseholder Reforms:
Major updates will give leaseholders greater control over their buildings, remove unfair legal fees, and make it easier to challenge excessive service charges—potentially saving thousands of pounds.

🏗 Bigger Picture: Can Labour’s Housing Plans Deliver?
The government has committed to 1.5 million new homes by 2029, reinstating housing targets for councils and pushing for faster planning approvals. But is this bold enough? Experts argue that while the ambition is there, challenges remain—from planning backlogs to a shortage of skilled workers.

📉 Landlords Are Leaving – What’s Next for Renters?
A record two-thirds of landlords are planning to exit or reduce their portfolios in 2025, citing tighter regulations and financial pressures. With rental supply already tight and prices rising, what does this mean for the future of renting?

🌍 International Property & Travel: New Taxes on UK Buyers?
Spain has introduced new property taxes for UK buyers, and France, Greece, and Portugal may follow. How will this impact Brits investing abroad?

🔋 Energy Efficiency Shake-Up for Landlords:
New rules will require landlords to meet stricter energy performance standards from 2028. Many will need to invest up to £6,500 per property—but will the system work?

📈 Central London Office Market on the Rise
Despite economic challenges, prime office rents in London grew by 7.8% last year. Investment is still cautious, but signs of a recovery are emerging as global capital flows return to the city.
