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

4:00 pm

Mr. Keith Anderson:

This seller's pack is nearly working already in certain places. If you have been developing 40 houses, and you sell the first three or four houses, it is going to take three or four months at least to get those few houses through. The pack is then there for the remaining 36 houses and they will go through in two months, and that happens. The rest are then flowing. Why can that not be done for an individual house? That is all I am saying.

With due respect to my colleagues on the left, I was in Blackhall Place nine years ago trying to get things sorted out. It will be another 20 years of it unless we get the bull by the horn and get this sorted out and get passed, for the good of everybody. The six months will turn into a year otherwise.
