Maria Harris (pictured), chair of the OPDA, said: “We’re delighted to welcome iamproperty to OPDA at such an important time for the industry.
“Chris and the team have already made a valuable contribution through their involvement in the sandbox programme and hackathons, demonstrating a genuine commitment to innovation and industry collaboration.
“As we continue to work with industry and government to accelerate the digital transformation of the property market, having organisations like iamproperty actively engaged in the development of open property data standards is incredibly important.”
Harris added: “We look forward to working together to create a faster, more transparent and more connected home buying and selling process.”
Chris Watson, head of data and insights at iamproperty, said: “From day one, iamproperty’s mission has been to improve the broken homebuying process.
“We’re passionate about making the property transaction process faster, simpler and more transparent for everyone involved, and we’ve seen first-hand the power of collaboration in driving meaningful industry change.
“Joining OPDA as a member is a natural next step for us.”
Watson added: “We are committed to supporting the development and adoption of open property data standards that can help reduce friction in the home moving process and deliver better outcomes for consumers and property professionals alike.”
