Digital Sale Ready establishes the requirements for standardised property data that can be trusted and shared across the entire transaction ecosystem. The standard applies to all participants: those who capture data, those who build infrastructure to distribute it, and those who consume it.
Note: DSR is a voluntary framework. The requirements described below represent the standard as currently defined. Organisations adopt these requirements at their own discretion.
DSR begins with comprehensive property data collection at the point of marketing. This includes material information, legal protocol forms, search data, and all relevant transaction documentation. Information is gathered once, to a consistent standard, creating the foundation that serves the entire transaction.
This upfront preparation is what initiates data capture in the correct standardised format. Without this foundation, the downstream benefits of interoperability cannot be realised.
All DSR data must be structured according to Property Data Trust Framework standards. This ensures every piece of information carries provenance, follows industry-agreed formats, and can be securely accessed by authorised stakeholders.
PDTF compliance is what enables ecosystem interoperability. Data structured to these standards can be consumed by any PDTF-compliant system, whether that is a conveyancing platform, a lender's decisioning engine, or any other authorised application.
DSR data is made accessible to the ecosystem through infrastructure providers who build PDTF-compatible APIs and tooling. These providers enable the federated access model: data remains controlled at source while being available to authorised consumers throughout the transaction.
This infrastructure layer is what connects the upfront data capture to the downstream consumers, enabling ecosystem participants to access standardised property data through established platforms and networks.
Organisations across the ecosystem can participate in DSR:
Adopting DSR approaches upfront, at the point of marketing a home, enable the standardised, PDTF-compliant data foundation that opens the door for the wider ecosystem. By capturing property data to DSR standards from the start, agents enable every downstream participant to work from trusted, structured information.
Build PDTF-compatible systems, APIs, and tooling that enable standardised data to flow across the ecosystem. These providers collect and structure PDTF information, then provide access to lenders, conveyancers, and other stakeholders through their platforms and networks.
Access standardised property data through infrastructure providers who have built PDTF-compatible APIs and tooling. This delivers structured property information from day one, transforming how legal processing begins.
Access standardised property data through infrastructure providers who have built PDTF-compatible APIs and tooling. This enables faster, more informed decisioning based on trusted, structured data.
Structure their outputs to DSR/PDTF standards, enabling their data to flow seamlessly into the ecosystem and be consumed by any PDTF-compliant system.
