Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, pursuant to the answer of 28 November 2025 to question 92574, if his Department will support the wider utilisation of UPRNs in the property industry and make them a standard piece of data recorded for property transactions.

On 6 October, my Department published two consultations outlining reform proposals to transform home buying and selling. They can be found on gov.uk here and here.

As part of those consultations, we highlighted our interest in ensuring that data is consistent, trusted, and shareable across the market. We also proposed to explore mandating a standardised core data set for digital logbooks and sales packs linked to the Unique Property Reference Number and Land Registry records.

Both consultations closed on 29 December. We are now reviewing the feedback received and will set out details of next steps later this year.
