Our Technology

PropXchain uses blockchain technology to create secure, transparent property transactions with smart contracts, AI-assisted document analysis, and immutable records.

Blockchain Technology Explained

At its core, blockchain is a distributed digital ledger that records transactions across multiple computers. For PropXchain, this technology provides the foundation for secure, transparent property transactions.

  • Immutable Records

    Once information is recorded on the blockchain, it cannot be altered or deleted, creating a permanent and tamper-proof record of all property information and transaction steps.

  • Distributed Verification

    Multiple nodes in the network verify each transaction, eliminating the need for a central authority and reducing the risk of fraud or manipulation.

  • Smart Contracts

    Self-executing contracts with the terms directly written into code, automatically advancing the transaction when predefined conditions are met.

  • Cryptographic Security

    Advanced encryption protects all data on the blockchain, ensuring that sensitive property and transaction information remains secure.

Smart Contracts Explained

Smart contracts are self-executing contracts with the terms directly written into code, automatically advancing the transaction when predefined conditions are met.

1

Digital Agreement

Smart contracts are digital agreements with predefined rules and conditions encoded in blockchain-based software.

2

Condition Monitoring

The smart contract continuously monitors for the fulfillment of its conditions through secure data feeds and verification.

3

Automatic Execution

When all conditions are met, the smart contract automatically executes the next steps without requiring manual intervention.

4

Immutable Record

All actions and verifications are recorded on the blockchain, creating a permanent, tamper-proof audit trail.

PropXchain Smart Contract Examples

Identity Verification Contract

Verifies buyer and seller identities through secure digital ID checks and anti-money laundering procedures.

Document Verification Contract

Confirms the authenticity and completeness of property documentation, including title deeds and planning permissions.

Search Verification Contract

Validates that all required property searches have been completed and are within their validity period.

Financing Condition Contract

Confirms mortgage approval and fund availability through secure API connections with mortgage providers.

Exchange Contract

Manages the exchange of contracts process with digital signatures and verification of all pre-exchange conditions.

Completion Contract

Orchestrates the completion process, verifying fund transfers, informing Land Registry through API of the new ownership, and creating the property passport.

Security and Compliance

PropXchain is built with security and regulatory compliance as core principles.

End-to-End Encryption

All data is encrypted both in transit and at rest, ensuring that sensitive property and personal information remains secure.

Multi-Factor Authentication

Access to the PropXchain system requires multiple forms of verification, protecting against unauthorized access.

Regular Security Audits

Independent security experts regularly audit the PropXchain system to identify and address potential vulnerabilities.

Legal Framework Compatibility

PropXchain is designed to work within existing UK legal frameworks for property transactions, ensuring compliance with all relevant regulations.

GDPR Compliance

Our data handling practices comply with the General Data Protection Regulation, with clear policies for data access, storage, and deletion.

AML Compliance

PropXchain incorporates robust anti-money laundering checks and procedures, helping solicitors meet their regulatory obligations.

The Property Passport

One of PropXchain's most innovative features is the creation of a blockchain-based Property Passport - an immutable digital record of a property's history that simplifies future transactions.

  • Complete Transaction History

    A chronological record of all property transactions, including dates, parties involved, and key documents.

  • Verified Documentation

    Blockchain-verified copies of essential property documents, including title deeds, planning permissions, and building regulations compliance.

  • Maintenance Records

    For new builds, a record of warranties, guarantees, and maintenance work, providing confidence to future buyers.

  • Search Results Archive

    Historical search results that can be updated rather than completely redone for future transactions, saving time and money.

The Property Passport grows with each transaction, creating a comprehensive digital history that increases in value over time. For future sales, much of the due diligence work is already completed and verified, significantly reducing transaction times and costs.

Technical FAQ

Answers to common technical questions about PropXchain.

Why use a private blockchain rather than a public one?

PropXchain uses a private, permissioned blockchain for several reasons: it provides greater transaction privacy for sensitive property information, offers faster transaction processing times, allows for controlled access by authorized parties only, and provides greater flexibility to comply with property law and regulatory requirements. While public blockchains offer maximum decentralization, our private blockchain strikes the optimal balance between security, performance, and regulatory compliance for property transactions.

How does PropXchain integrate with existing systems?

PropXchain integrates with existing systems through a comprehensive API layer. We provide secure REST APIs for integration with legal practice management systems, mortgage provider platforms, Land Registry systems (allowing automatic notification of new ownership once smart contracts are complete), and other relevant software. Our integration approach is designed to be non-disruptive, allowing PropXchain to work alongside existing systems rather than replacing them. We also provide detailed documentation and implementation support to ensure smooth integration.

What AI technologies does PropXchain use?

PropXchain incorporates several AI technologies to enhance the property transaction process. We use natural language processing (NLP) to analyze legal documents and extract key information. Our document verification system uses machine learning algorithms to identify potential issues or discrepancies in property documentation. We also employ predictive analytics to identify potential bottlenecks in the transaction process. All AI systems are designed to assist human professionals rather than replace them, providing suggestions and highlighting issues for review.

How does PropXchain ensure system availability and reliability?

PropXchain is built on a robust cloud infrastructure with multiple redundancy layers. We use AWS's high-availability architecture with automatic failover capabilities. Our system includes load balancing, auto-scaling, and geographic distribution to ensure consistent performance even during peak usage. We maintain a 99.9% uptime guarantee, with comprehensive monitoring and alerting systems to identify and address potential issues before they impact users. Regular backups and disaster recovery procedures ensure data integrity and business continuity.

What happens if there's a dispute or error in a smart contract?

PropXchain's smart contracts include dispute resolution mechanisms that allow authorized parties to flag potential errors or disputes. While the blockchain record itself is immutable, our system allows for the addition of correction records that reference and update previous entries. For significant disputes, the system includes an override capability that requires multiple authorized approvals (e.g., from both solicitors and a system administrator). This approach maintains the integrity of the blockchain while providing practical solutions for real-world situations.

How scalable is the PropXchain system?

PropXchain is designed for high scalability to accommodate growth in transaction volume. Our cloud-based infrastructure automatically scales to meet demand, and our blockchain implementation is optimized for property transaction throughput. The system has been tested to handle thousands of concurrent transactions, far exceeding our projected needs for the near future. As we expand to the resale market and additional geographic areas, our architecture allows for seamless scaling without performance degradation.
