Property professionals broadly support proposals requiring more information to be available at the start of a home sale, according to a survey of 300 industry respondents.

The poll found that 77% of those surveyed were confident the proposed homebuying reforms would deliver positive change. The research examined views on upfront property information requirements and their likely effect on the transaction process.

Earlier access to relevant property details could shape how buyers, sellers and advisers prepare for a sale, while also influencing the information expected during the initial marketing stage. The survey results indicate that most respondents see potential benefits in the proposed approach.

The findings were reported by Property Wire. The source material did not set out a timetable for the reforms or provide further detail on the specific information that would be required upfront.
