The First Smart Property Data Trust Framework Test: Proving It Works.

The UK takes around 134 days to complete a home purchase, and roughly a third of sales fall through. The problem isn’t technology. It’s data: manual, duplicated, non-portable, non-trusted data.

In this episode of the Digital Disruption Podcast, Claire Van der Zant, Chief Exec of Novus Strategy, is joined by three organisations who have just proved a different model works. The Smart Property Data Trust Framework Sandbox has run its first successful test, moving data between organisations with provenance and trust intact, rather than recreating it from scratch at every organisational boundary.

Our guests:

• Stephen Ward, Director of Strategy and External Relations  at the Council for Licensed Conveyancers (CLC)
• Eddie Davies, Deputy Director for PropTech and Platform Integration at HM Land Registry
• Kieran Witt, Founder of Kotini

What we cover:

• What actually moved in the sandbox, and how data travelled with a signature and a verifiable key
• Why you no longer need to trust the company sending the data, only the framework underpinning it
• The “innovation tax” firms pay to access data, and what falls away once it’s removed
• “Speed to confidence”: why certainty earlier in the transaction matters more than raw speed
• What changes for lenders, including the thousands of identity mismatches that quietly derail automation
• What’s left to solve: governance, agreed standards, and getting the whole market to move together
