LMS reacts to homebuying and selling reforms

19 June 2026

Travis Scholes, Commercial Director at LMS commented:

“We welcome the Government’s drive to modernise the home buying and selling process, something LMS and our partners have been working towards for many years. The benefits of upfront, standardised property information are already clear, with real-world use cases showing how earlier access to trusted data can speed up transactions, reduce fall throughs and improve outcomes for buyers and sellers alike.

“At scale, this progress relies on shared infrastructure and common data standards. Through initiatives such as National Property Transaction Network (NPTN) by LMS, we are already demonstrating how secure data sharing can enable earlier collaboration, reduce duplication and improve transparency - creating stronger foundations for transactions from the outset and tackling long standing friction in the process.

“Crucially, these reforms build a strong narrative around how this contributes to improving the overall home-buying journey and delivers benefits across the end-to-end process. Open, collaborative solutions like NPTN will be key to delivering shorter transaction times and better experiences forestate agents, law firms, lenders buyers and sellers alike, ensuring the full value of a modernised property market is realised.”
