LMS has announced a major expansion of its National Property Transaction Network (NPTN), confirming that 42 additional technology suppliers and law firms have joined the initiative to create a fully digital and interoperable home-buying process.
The UK conveyancing services provider said the new members build on the network’s successful pilot, launched in late 2024, which showed measurable benefits in speed, certainty and efficiency for property sales.
The next wave of adoption represents what LMS describes as “a major milestone in building a truly interoperable, digital ecosystem – one that is open, scalable and focused on authenticated, reusable data.”
Among the new technology partners are 4Corners Property, 4Stamp, Acre Software, Actionstep, Addland, Alto Software Group, Armalytix, CLSQ, Collaborative Conveyancing, Credas, Gazeal, InTouch, Legalito, Mortgage Brain, Moverly, Movemnt, One Mortgage System, Open Moove, ProConvey, SDLT Compass, Skenario Labs, Snappily, Sprift, Thirdfort, TM Group, Verify365 and Yoti.
They join a growing list of law firms already working with NPTN to harness smart data, including Ackroyd Legal, Bell Lamb & Joynson, BRM Legal, Evolve Law, Grant Saw Solicitors, Hennah Hayward Law, Harding Evans, Knights, Movera, Muve, Ronald Fletcher Baker LLP, Signature Law, Swiitch, The Partnership and WS Strategic Ltd.
The NPTN framework is built on secure, reusable and authenticated data and is supported by the Property Data Trust Framework (PDTF) and the Open Property Data Association (OPDA).
Its goals include horizontal digital integration across stakeholders, fewer duplicated checks, reduced cancellations and significantly faster time to exchange.
Innovation is being driven in the NPTN Sandbox, launched in July 2025, which lets participants test real-world scenarios in a controlled environment.
The first use case is focused on digital identity verification and qualified electronic signature (QES)-enabled deeds, with full collaboration across 15 lenders, technology providers and legal partners.
Nick Chadbourne (pictured), chief executive of LMS, said: “The stakeholders adopting NPTN aren’t just participating – they’re proactively shaping the future of property transactions.
“Their early adoption has been critical in helping us prove what’s possible when smart data flows securely and seamlessly between platforms, without restrictions or silos.
“By working together with shared goals and transparent standards, we’re building an ecosystem that benefits everyone – faster processes, better data, and ultimately a simpler experience for the customer.”
