First NLIS integration completed ahead of March 2027 roll out
Summary
Land Data says SearchFlow is the first intermediary to connect and complete testing with the next generation National Land Information Service (Next Gen NLIS) hub ahead of its planned March 2027 launch. The new platform is intended to provide secure, standards-based access to official local authority and public sector data, supporting faster and more reliable property transactions.
