‘Make your voice heard on smart data’, OPDA urges conveyancers
Summary
The Open Property Data Association is urging property-sector organisations to respond to the government’s Smart Data Multi-Sector Call for Evidence. The consultation will help shape future policy, scheme design and possible regulation for smart data sharing, including in property transactions.
Why it matters
For residential property surveyors, smart data frameworks could affect how property information is accessed, shared and relied upon during transactions. Engagement now may influence future standards, workflows and the digital infrastructure that supports conveyancing and related professional services.
Key points
- Government consultation seeks evidence on smart data schemes across sectors, including property.
- OPDA says smart data could reduce transaction delays and improve certainty for consumers.
- The programme is broader than the home buying and selling roadmap and may shape future property data frameworks.
- OPDA is encouraging input from surveying, valuation, legal and other property-related sectors.
- The consultation is open until 1 October 2026.
