Your experience can improve property information

The Open Property Data Association (OPDA) is inviting conveyancers and people working with property transfer information to help develop the Smart Property Data Trust Framework. The working groups are developing shared definitions for property information so that people can understand and exchange it more clearly.

Why it matters

A conveyance draws on title records, searches and enquiries from different sources. Important qualifications can become difficult to follow as that information moves between people.

Where your experience helps

Explain the distinctions that matter in a real conveyance and help make definitions useful for exceptions as well as straightforward transactions.

  • Explain meanings, rules and exceptions.
  • Review draft definitions and proposals.
  • Bring examples you are authorised to share.

Who can contribute

You do not need data-modelling expertise. Your professional experience and judgement can help shape the work.

Professional, commercial and public-interest perspectives all matter. Choose the group closest to your experience.

What happens next

Registering is an expression of interest. OPDA reviews each submission and confirms the next steps. It does not automatically give membership or access.
