Open Property Data Association (OPDA) has launched a YouTube channel to break down property data changes and digital homebuying.
The channel features videos explaining smart data, trust frameworks, OPDA’s schema and membership accreditation.
Maria Harris, chair at OPDA, said: “We’ve been talking for a long time about creating simple, accessible resources for people across the property and mortgage sectors who want to understand what’s coming and can share with their teams and customers – whether that’s the Data Use & Access legislation, the government’s Industrial Strategy, or the standards that will underpin a more digital homebuying journey.
“So, we finally took the plunge and made it happen.”
The channel has three playlists: short explainers for professionals and consumers, technical guides for developers and product teams, and step-by-step membership accreditation videos for firms and software providers.
OPDA has planned more content, covering OPDA’s Smart Data Challenge prototype, the Property Data Trust Framework sandbox, digital ID, risk checks and other topics.
Harris added: “We’re by no means video pros but the goal is to make these big, transformative ideas easier to understand for everyone, and to create some commonly used language around digitisation of homebuying and mortgages.
“We’d love to hear from people across the industry if there’s something they’d like us to cover next.”
