As buyers clamoured to complete property transactions before the stamp duty holiday ended, conveyancing volumes rose and backlogs caused delays to the process.
Since then, purchase activity has dipped. However, the hastened desire to move home along with the opportunity to beat further house prices increases, surging mortgage rates and drive to make high ticket purchases before the cost of living rises have prevented a sharper decline in the market.
Mortgage Solutions wants to know if current activity is still impacting conveyancing timescales or whether things have got better.
Have conveyancing timeframes improved since the stamp duty rush?
