Housing: Sales
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, with reference to the press release Families to save hundreds of pounds in major homebuying overhaul, published on 5 October 2025, whether he has made an assessment of the potential impact of that policy on the number of houses available for sale.
Answered by Matthew Pennycook
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.
Final policy decisions as well as a refined analysis of the impact of the proposals in question are subject to a review of the information received through the consultation process.
