Land Data has today confirmed that the licence to operate The National Land Information Service (NLIS) Hub with Decision Insight Group (DIG) has been extended to March 2027.
The contract, which runs from 2009, provides for the continued facilitation of the National Land Information Service (NLIS) Hub.
Since its launch in 2001 the NLIS Hub has processed over 27 million searches, providing conveyancing solicitors with a secure gateway to authoritative data providers in England and Wales. This includes 339 registering local authorities (LAs), HM Land Registry, Thames Water and the Mining Remediation Authority.
NLIS remains the only regulated search Hub in the conveyancing searches sector and, alongside Land Data, continues to champion authoritative, Official Searches which are backed by an unlimited Government guarantee.
Nick Dyoss the NLIS Hub Director said: “Official Searches are still very much in demand and NLIS continues to grow with Wessex Searches having just joined as a new NLIS channel. This contractual foundation should give our customers confidence that we remain dedicated to delivering the best possible service in the Official Searches market.”
The contract extension comes at a time when Land Data is conducting extensive market research to understand the needs of the conveyancing searches market. Land Data will use this insight to identify how NLIS can evolve to streamline and improve the Official Searches market, supporting stable property transactions for consumers.
Fiona Barron, Land Data Chief Executive commented: “NLIS is a local government success story, and an important part of our national data infrastructure. Over the past 24 years it has supported many thousands of people to move home confidently – it now needs to adapt to future user needs and a world of greater digitalisation. This is an exciting time for NLIS and Land Data and I look forward to sharing the outcomes of our research.”
