Transparency is the foundation of trust in Real Estate markets and decisions. Historically, the sector has been considered relatively opaque, but with tighter regulation and the growing availability and use of data it is becoming increasingly transparent.

​

But it can also introduce friction, potentially expose private information, undermine commercial advantage and create misleading impressions if the underlying data is poor.

This paper explores the concept of transparency in Real Estate, what it needs to achieve and for whom and the role of data in unlocking it across buildings and the market as a whole.
