Panel with Santander: 'Fixing the Broken Chain'

About the event

We are delighted to invite you to Santander’s Fixing the Broken Chain Panel 2025, taking place at One Great George Street on Thursday, 20 November, from 8:30 to 10:00 am.

This in-person event brings together policymakers and senior leaders from across the housing sector to discuss the future of homeownership and the reforms needed to fix the UK’s property transaction process.

The morning will begin with a networking breakfast, followed by a panel discussion and Q&A exploring the key barriers in the homebuying process - from legal and administrative hurdles to regulatory inefficiencies - and the opportunities to deliver meaningful, lasting change.

The event will also showcase findings from Santander’s new report, Fixing the Broken Chain, which reveals that the UK’s outdated home purchase system costs the economy £1.5 billion annually, with over half a million failed transactions and 23% of buyers experiencing a property chain collapse. The report calls for coordinated reform to modernise the process and strengthen the housing market for buyers and sellers alike.

We look forward to welcoming you to what promises to be a timely and thought-provoking discussion.
