Practice Guides Part 2

In this first episode – available on all podcast platforms – Mike Harlow and the Home Buying and Selling Group’s Beth Rudolf talk about the need for change in the property market and how, in supporting the work of the HBSG to identify solutions to improve the process for consumers, the Digital Property Market Steering Group (DPMSG) has been formed to develop a more positive, certain and transparent digital market place for all.

Changing the home buying and selling process: Property with a View, the DPMSG Podcast

As a property lawyer, co-founder of Proptech start-up Conveyo, Konrad Rotthege, realised there had to be a smarter way to handle property transactions by blending legal know-how with technology. In his blog he explains why he set up Conveyo, how it helps conveyancers save time and increase their profitability and how  combining location data and legal expertise can help ensure frictionless property transactions.

Seamless property transactions — vision or reality?

We are joined today by Kate Faulkner OBE, Chair of the Home Buying and Selling Group. She is one of the UK’s leading property experts. She is passionate that most of the problems in the residential property market can be solved if the media industry and government work together to educate consumers on how to carry out property projects. 

The Digital Property Market Steering Group (DPMSG) is formed of a cross-section of institutions and bodies representing both the commercial and residential sectors. It has a shared goal of accelerating change to a digital property market whilst ensuring it is transparent, secure, and user-friendly. Much good progress has already been made through innovation within the market generally and by collaborative initiatives like the Home Buying and Selling Group (HBSG). The DPMSG members' aims are to support all that by ensuring their collective and individual actions are conducive to that healthy progress. It’s all about pulling together to remove the barriers, fill in the gaps, and speed up progress to a simpler faster and less stressful process.
