OPDA joins industry in calling for Unique Property Reference Number adoption

Our data standards rely on UPRN and other provenanced data sources to ensure that property transactions are safer and more reliable for everyone so we are delighted to support the open letter that today went to the Housing Minister Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government regarding the use of the UPRN.

Progress has been made, but more work is needed to ensure the widest adoption of UPRN and to unlock the multiple benefits that will be delivered.

You can read the open letter here:
