Digital Property Market Steering Group (DPMSG)

The Digital Property Market Steering Group (DPMSG) is a group of industry partners, government departments and regulatory bodies with a shared vision of working together to improve the buying and selling process for residential and commercial premises. Its purpose is to help the property market work better for all by accelerating the adoption of digital technology through collaboration and innovation across the sector.
