Property data platform, Property Deals Insight, has become the latest member of the Open Property Data Association (OPDA).
The OPDA wants to change the way houses are bought and sold through the sharing of upfront and authenticated property data. It is responsible for building the trust framework that will enable the industry-wide adoption of smart property data and technology standards.
Founded in 2019, Property Deals Insight was created to tackle fragmented, inconsistent, and hard-to-access data.
The platform brings together trusted data from across the property ecosystem - connecting and cleansing more than 40 million property records - into a single, standardised view of every UK property. It aims to remove the complexity of sourcing, matching and interpreting data, enabling faster, better-informed decisions.
As well as providing raw data access, Property Deals Insight transforms information into practical tools, including valuation reports, planning and material information packs, and investment appraisal modelling. Customers include estate agents, proptech platforms, investors, lenders and data-driven property businesses.
Property Deals Insight joins the OPDA among NatWest Group, HSBC, Nationwide and Lloyds Banking Group. Other members include Atom Bank, PEXA, Movera and Coadjute.
Since its launch, the OPDA has delivered open property data standards and models for trustable and shareable data. The free and open-source tools have been created and tested in collaboration with every sector across the property industry. Those using the OPDA’s data standards for digital property packs have seen the time reduced from mortgage offer and purchase accepted to exchange of contracts within 15 days.
The OPDA is currently a lead partner in the Smart Property Data Trust Framework sandbox, a Government-funded project designed to test the technical, governance and security foundations needed for a modern, data-centric property market.
Nitin Aggarwal, founder and CEO of Property Deals Insight, said: “Property transactions are slower and more stressful than they need to be because critical information is scattered, inconsistent or only discovered late in the process. That frustration is exactly why we built Property Deals Insight,” he said.
“We’ve always believed that when everyone is working from the same, trusted data foundation, you unlock better decisions, faster transactions and a fairer market. The OPDA’s work on standards, trust frameworks and material information strongly aligns with what we’ve been building for years, so formalising our membership is a natural next step.”
Maria Harris, chair of the Open Property Data Association, said: “Property Deals Insight brings technical expertise and real-world implementation experience to the OPDA. Their work demonstrates how fragmented property data can be brought together, standardised and turned into meaningful insight at scale. We’re delighted to welcome them as members and look forward to collaborating on standards that help the industry deliver greater transparency, trust and transaction readiness for consumers and professionals alike.”
