Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, when he expects to respond to the home buying and selling reform consultation.

On 6 October, my Department published two consultations outlining reform proposals to transform home buying and selling. They can be found on gov.uk here and here.

Both consultations closed on 29 December. We are now reviewing the feedback received.

Subject to the outcomes of the analysis being undertaken, we will publish a roadmap setting out further details of our reforms later this year.
