Identify

UPRN, address, title and landlord entity.

What this means

Why it matters

Identification is the act of fixing exactly which property a decision concerns, and who the relevant parties are. It anchors the record to a durable identity before any enrichment or assessment begins.

In practice

Workflow implications

Address capture is validated against UPRN at the point of instruction or application.
Title and landlord entity are linked so ownership context is available to every downstream decision.
Match confidence is scored and visible, so weak matches are resolved early.

The layer

How Property Spine supports it

Property Spine resolves identity once and reuses it. The matched identity becomes the anchor for every fact, inference and action that follows.
