L&C Mortgages has joined the Open Property Data Association (OPDA) as an association member.

L&C has been a long-standing champion of putting the customer at the heart of their proposition and providing clear information.

They are now taking this a step further, committing to digitisation of the process and providing even more transparency on property data during the mortgage journey.

DIGITISED APPROACH

Adam Connolly, Chief Commercial Officer at L&C Mortgages, said: “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.”

SMART DATA

Maria Harris (main picture), chair of OPDA, added: “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.”
