A collection of trusted tools designed to support faster, fairer, and lower-risk home moves.

Why This Toolkit Matters

Buying and selling a home is one of the most important decisions people make - but the process can still be fragmented, slow, and uncertain.

The Toolkit exists to help change that. Developed through cross-sector collaboration, these resources:

  • Improve consistency in how information is shared

  • Reduce duplication and avoid delays

  • Support clearer communication between professionals

  • Help clients feel more confident and informed

  • Align the industry with national home moving reform priorities

Every document has been tested in real working groups and pilot projects to make sure it works in practice - not just on paper.

What’s Inside the Toolkit

Rather than a long list of downloads, the Toolkit brings together the core materials that support reform across the whole journey.

The BASPI

The agreed industry standard for sharing key information at the start of a transaction.

Upfront Information Guidance

Practical advice to help professionals get homes market-ready, and reduce surprises later.

How to Complete by 1 pm

Clear, simple advice to support smoother, calmer completion days for clients.

Reservation Agreement Templates

Supporting stronger commitment between buyers and sellers, helping reduce fall-throughs.

New-Build Snagging Resources

Designed to support more consistent inspections, communication, and outcomes for new-build homeowners.

Market Data & Insights 

Helping professionals track fall-throughs, time-to-exchange, and other indicators of market performance.

Developed With Real Industry Insight

Behind every part of the Toolkit is the experience of professionals from across the home-moving sector.
Documents weren’t written in isolation - they were shaped by:

  • Lenders and brokers
  • Surveyors
  • Estate agents
  • Conveyancers
  • Data specialists
  • Consumer organisations
  • Government partners

This shared knowledge ensures the Toolkit reflects the real challenges professionals face every day - and provides practical solutions that work at scale.
