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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what steps his Department is taking to ensure buyers and sellers can access effective guidance on buying and selling homes.

In September 2019 we published detailed “How to sell” and “How to buy” guides, which are freely available on the Gov.uk website, and lead consumers through the full length of the process. Since March 2020 we published COVID-19 guidance to the housing industry and to those moving home, advising them on how they can work and move home safely.
