Critical Asset Intelligence to Reduce Your Risk

Would your organisation have the critical asset intelligence ready for an ‘Asset Register’?
If the answer is no or you are unsure of where to turn, help is at hand from Landmark Analytics:

Following the publication of the white paper for an Asset Register, Housing Providers are looking for help in
accessing clear intelligence that provides clarity on exactly what land and property assets are owned by their organisation. As a result, Housing Providers are working with Landmark Analytics to access its wealth of market data and industry analysis to provide the answers they need. This includes the ability to visualise
portfolios, calculate accurate current asset valuations, digitally map properties with Business Intelligence, plus undertake supporting tasks such as address verification and data cleansing. Carole Oliver, Group Business
Development Manager at Landmark Information Group said: “The outcome of Cosmopolitan and subsequent white paper for an Asset Register has resulted in our clients coming to us for clear asset
intelligence. They want clarity on asset ownership and values, plus robust market intelligence for appropriate tenures, disposal & acquisition and investment strategy. Our expertise in being able to quickly and accurately analyse data and return it with transparency and highly visual direction is proving an essential element in their decision making process.” Concludes Oliver: “The majority of Housing Providers have inherited poor and
inconsistent business intelligence, and it is now more essential than ever that the sector can restore confidence to lenders and Government by demonstrating strategy based on accurate BI.”

Cases in point

Neil Topping, Business Processes Officer of Family Mosaic:
“With over 24,000 properties in our portfolio, it is vital that the information within our property database is accurate on a number of levels. We have undertaken an intelligence exercise with Landmark Analytics, which has a reputation for having one of the UK’s most accurate residential property databases. Our immediate need was to ensure all addresses in our database match the format of Royal Mail’s, however since working with Landmark, we have been able to analyse a wider range of metrics, such as bedroom count. This is particularly important as this information needs to be accurate for the benefit of our tenants. All in all, working with Landmark has saved us a great deal of time and they have been able to provide more intelligence than we were originally expecting at the outset.”

Julian Pimm-Smith, Head of Business Intelligence of Affinity Sutton:
“Affinity Sutton is a location-based business and the GIS visualisation of our asset and tenant information
is a critical component of our Business Intelligence suite. The ability to visualise our information down
to door-level accuracy gives our Asset and Housing staff a picture of their properties and patches that a
spreadsheet could not convey. Our Active Asset Management performance models are incredibly complex. They cover hundreds of detailed attributes over periods of 30 years on thousands of properties. The mapping of that data therefore turns huge sprawling datasets into clear drillable graphics, from the entire country, down through regions and estates, or even down to a single property and its individual financial and qualitative performance. This level of detail is essential for our operation and provides our mobile officers with the ability to access the information they need, via hand held devices, revolutionising operational delivery.”

Simon Short, Team Leader –Spatial and Market Intelligence of HCA:
“The HCA requires robust housing market data to support its decisions. Landmark Analytics met our
needs with quality of data provision to support our evidence base. The Panel assessed Landmark
Analytics against a set of criteria and agreed that it provides the best quality and value for housing
market data provision that meets our needs.”
