Seller’s Legal Pack for Property Buyers Bill 2021: Discussion

4:00 pm

Mr. Mark Garrett:

My colleague, who has more practical experience than I do, will speak shortly. My understanding of the reading of the Bill is that if there are three or four people bidding on the property, they will be provided with the pack and they will engage with professionals to ensure that the largest purchase of their lives is protected. I imagine that would be the case. I do not believe that is intended by the Bill but it is currently in the Bill, and that would be a consequence of it. I would not like to see unintended consequences brought into legislation.
