WQ.328/2025
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE CHIEF MINISTER
BY DEPUTY M.B. ANDREWS OF ST HELIER NORTH QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 15th SEPTEMBER 2025 ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 22nd SEPTEMBER 2025
Question
"Will the Chief Minister advise whether, further to the lodging of P.61/2025 (Statutory Pre-Sale Agreements for Standard Residential Property Transactions), he has requested any investigation into pre- sale agreements or the effect of gazumping on the housing market, or will be considering any such investigation, and if not, why not?"
Answer
In June this year the States Assembly rejected P.34/2025, which requested consultation and a report on pre- sale agreements for land and property transactions.
The Housing Minister has held a meeting with Deputy Andrews to discuss P.61/2025 and, as a result, an amendment will be lodged by the Council of Ministers to propose a consultation on the broader property transaction process.
There has been no request for an investigation into pre-sale agreements or the effect of gazumping on the housing market, but these issues will be addressed in the consultation.
