L&C Mortgages has become the latest organisation to join the Open Property Data Association (OPDA), further strengthening the industry’s push towards a more transparent, digitised, and customer-friendly mortgage journey.
A longstanding advocate for putting customers first, L&C Mortgages is now deepening its commitment by joining forces with OPDA to support the standardisation and smarter use of property data across the housing market.
L&C’s membership comes at a pivotal time for OPDA, which is leading the charge on reusable property, identity and finance data to streamline the homebuying process and eliminate duplication.
As part of its mission, OPDA is working with industry stakeholders to create trusted data standards that boost transparency and confidence for consumers and professionals alike.
SMOOTH AS POSSIBLE
Adam Connolly, Chief Commercial Officer at L&C Mortgages, says: “Our aim is to make the mortgage journey as smooth as possible for our customers, but we know that the processes in the housing market need greater collaboration if we are to further evolve the speed and efficiency of the buying process.
“That’s why we are excited to join OPDA – to add our weight and effort to the progress they have already made, establishing the standards that will ultimately drive a more joined-up and digitised approach.”
POSITIVE IMPACT
Maria Harris (main picture), Chair of OPDA, adds: “This is a fantastic time to announce that L&C have joined us. The positive impact of reusable property, identity, and finance data in the mortgage advice and homebuying process is irrefutable.
“Having accurate and trustable smart data is paramount in creating consumer confidence and delivering certainty in the mortgage and property market.
“L&C joining us as we embark on the next steps for smart data and following the publication of our consumer survey report is excellent news and will enable their customers and lenders to access digital property data.”
