HM Land Registry and Ordnance Survey signed a Memorandum of Understanding aimed at making property data more accessible and connecting it with other housing-market information, the two organisations announced on 17 August 2026. The collaboration was described as intended to shape a more connected, digitally enabled property market over the next three years.

The stated areas of work include aligning Ordnance Survey's National Geographic Database and product roadmap with HM Land Registry's geospatial roadmap and transformation, sharing insights on market needs, and exploring distribution of Land Registry data through Ordnance Survey's DataHub. The agencies also plan to exchange knowledge on licensing, geospatial and compliance matters.

Ordnance Survey's Tina Kennedy said an efficient property market helps people move home and supports investment. HM Land Registry's Lynne Nicholson described plans to move from record keeping toward using data to support growth. The release states that properties in England and Wales are valued at nearly £9 trillion and that annual UK property sales surpass £360 billion; these are figures given at the time of publication.
