I am happy to receive a written reply. It unlocks my second point, namely if we are dependent on the market, is there a need to review the scheme to see if settlement can be made far earlier? I suggest this because there is a difficulty with housing. Selling the home at any point is an emotional issue but it often happens when the person passes away. Is there any way that if the scheme is being reviewed that financial incentives to promote the sale of the home while the person was alive could be put into the contract?
