Whilst I agree that the system is slow and vendors need to understand what they are selling in advance of marketing, I have usuall found that there are huge differences between what a buyer and their mortgage provider find acceptable and what vendors provide. Information about boundaries and response to survey can be very different. Until what is acceptable is standardised we will struggle to improve conveyancing times.

The issue in an area like Hampstead in London (and other similarly historic locations) is that some properties can be more that 300 years old, are very close together and/or overlap resulting in blurred boundaries. These issues can only be resolved detailed investigation and often is it difficult to be definitive. Where this is not the case then a speeded up integrated digitised system would of course be desirable. In particular, in respect of apartments, insisting that managing agents prepare the management pack in a detailed and timely manner would make a genuine difference to the speed of transactions.

This is true of all the portals and agents own web-sites. Chronic unjustifiable overcharging and profiteering.

In answer to Jan's point above there are many school leavers who are unlikely to progress to be surgeons and engineers and it is to those candidates that there should be a route to professional agency. I also spent 20 years at a major corporate agency and plenty of qualified surveyors chose residential agency ahead of surveying, valuation and other professional work.

Asking prices are also often led by the vendor and these comments do not reflect this.

At last, a banker/analyst that understands how residential agency works.
