Using Evidence to Drive Change

Real improvement comes from understanding the whole picture.
By analysing transaction times, fall-throughs, and external factors, we can see where change is helping - and where more focus is needed. 

Why This Matters

Understanding how the home-moving system performs is essential for targeting reforms in the right places.

By tracking fall-through rates, time-to-exchange, and month-to-month trends, the HBSC can monitor where improvements are happening - and where more attention is needed.

This evidence helps inform the wider Home Moving Reform Programme and supports a more consistent, transparent, and predictable experience for both buyers and sellers.

How Market Data & Insights Works

The HBSC gathers and analyses data from a range of organisations involved in the home-moving process.
The insights we publish help:

  • Track changes in fall-through rates over time
  • Highlight seasonal or regional patterns
  • Identify bottlenecks and emerging risks
  • Support ongoing policy development and pilot programmes
  • Provide professionals with timely, practical evidence
  • Inform the wider industry about transaction performance

Data is updated monthly and made available free to support industry transparency.

How It Fits Within the Toolkit

This resource sits alongside other HBSC tools that support faster, safer, and more transparent home moves. Together, they help professionals prepare homes earlier, reduce avoidable delays, and give buyers and sellers greater confidence.

It works alongside:

  • The BASPI - the standard dataset for sharing key property information earlier.
  • Upfront Information Guidance - helping homes become genuinely market-ready before a buyer is found.
  • Reservation Agreements - strengthening commitment and reducing fall-throughs.
  • New Build Snagging Framework – clarifying quality, communication, and inspection standards.
  • Data & Evidence Templates - supporting consistent monitoring of transaction performance and trends.

Together, these tools promote a smoother, safer, and more transparent home-moving experience from day one.
