Over £900 million lost in England from property transactions falling through

Last year, about 6% of property transactions in England fell through and did not return to the market, contributing to significant economic losses.
Rightmove estimated losses of approximately £392 million in estate agency revenue and £515 million in stamp duty.
The high fall-through rates present a critical opportunity for the real estate industry to restructure its processes to minimize economic losses.
