Cheaper, well I cant disagree with your work there. its a worthy aim, house prices are silly.

Faster, well again, yes, how can anyone not like that, so long as everything that does need to be done is done, so for example there are no silly legal issues later.

Fairer - now here is where i have my issue, what exactly is meant by fairer?

Fairer = more nanny state

Good point, Jim.

As I understand it the idea is to look at how the process can be simplified by removing bureaucracy so that it is quicker and cheaper for all involved.

I must confess I had assumed until you raised the question that this was a reference to the fact that the people who suffer particularly as a result of the current cost of buying a house are the young and the less well-off. Therefore cutting that cost would help everyone but particularly those who most need it, and that represents an fairer outcome.

I don't think it is meant to mean more nanny state intervention, quite the opposite.
