Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, if he will make it his policy to restrict housing developers from being able to recommend solicitors to prospective buyers.

Advice on identifying and working with a solicitor or conveyancer is provided through the Money Advice Service, an independent service set up by Government to help people manage their money.

The Government has no current plans to introduce restrictions on who can recommend solicitors to prospective buyers.
