Jersey’s Minister for Housing, Deputy Malcolm Ferey, has launched a public consultation on how residential property transactions operate, seeking evidence on delays, uncertainty, additional costs and why some sales fail to complete. The review follows a States Assembly decision to examine the process and will gather experiences from residents and property professionals before considering whether changes are needed. The consultation examines what works well and where difficulties arise when buying or selling a home. It also seeks views on communication between buyers, sellers and professionals, including estate agents, lawyers and lenders, and on potential improvements to the process.
