The Open Property Data Association (OPDA) has appointed L&C Mortgages as its latest member.
The appointment comes as L&C Mortgages looks to commit to the digitisation of its proposition process and provide more transparency on property data during the mortgage journey.
The OPDA is an independent body that aims to revolutionise the property industry through collaboration.
Founded in 2023, it promotes the industry-wide adoption of open property data and technology standards.
Chief commercial officer at L&C Mortgages, Adam Connolly, 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."
Chair at OPDA, Maria Harris, 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."
