The intermediary network will support the trade association’s mission to speed up homebuying by sharing digital property information.

Whatever the outcome, at the top of the next Government’s to do list should be the reform of the notoriously sluggish homebuying process.

Simply Conveyancing has joined the Open Property Data Association, supporting the drive to digitise and standardise property data to streamline the homebuying process.

Maria Harris, chair of OPDA, gave evidence yesterday at the Commons Select Committee, run by the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities.

The latest version was updated to provide tools to simplify agents’ compliance processes with the National Trading Standards Material Information for Lettings guidance.

LBG will support the association in developing transparent data sharing practices.

The new version is expected to help accelerate the digitisation of the property market.

As an OPDA member, finova will help shape and contribute to work by the Digital Property Market Steering Group, a coalition of government and industry partners, on data, open standards, trust and interoperability, and shareable digital identity.

Formed last year, the group represents all parts of the sector and identifies the greatest potential areas for accelerated digital adoption.

Phoebus will share its technological understanding of the property processes to help the OPDA.

The OPDA, founded in June, aims to speed up the digitalisation of the property sector.

The Open Property Data Association (OPDA) has endorsed new guidance aimed at providing clarity for property agents on essential listing information.
Press Esc to close.
