Technology round-up: digitalisation and the latest platforms in the industry
Summary
The article highlights three technology developments in the property sector: LMS and Veyco are rolling out Qualified Electronic Signatures for mortgage deed execution, LocationBliss has launched a free residential property portal, and Blinc-UK has introduced a new tenant referencing service combining identity, income and fraud checks. The common theme is further digitalisation of property transactions and lettings processes, with an emphasis on speed, security and lower friction.
Why it matters
These changes affect how residential transactions and lettings are processed, particularly around identity verification, document execution and applicant screening. Surveyors may encounter faster digital workflows and, in lettings-related work, increased reliance on platform-based checks and online transaction tools.
