Abstract: The operation of the property market is constrained by an absence of information with barriers to data transparency arising from several sources. This paper reports upon research commissioned by the RICS into the concept of data sharing within the surveying profession with particular reference to the commercial property market. The research employs a range of investigative techniques comprising structured interviews, focus groups and a questionnaire survey. Issues addressed include technical, legal, competitive, commercial and other potential constraints. Trends in data sharing, potential areas for coordinated action, implications for the structure of professional practice and the role of the RICS are assessed.
