520 _aLooks at the creation of a new trade body, the Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO), which aims to represent the growing number of private search organisations now involved in more than 40% of property purchases in the UK. These companies have proved that they can deliver planning information from local authorities and environmental data from a range of utility sources, placing them at the centre of government proposals for speeding up house transactions via home information packs. CoPSO will further its members' market position by campaigning against local authorities that impede private search organisations' access to data and those that have not invested sufficiently in rapid electronic search data transmission facilities. It will also try to win over those mortgage lenders that still refuse to accept property search data from private companies. Lists CoPSO's priorities, objectives and members.
