ScotLIS

Scotlands Land & Information Service (ScotLIS) is a concept supported by the Law Society of Scotland, the Scottish Government, the Ordinance Survey and Registers of Scotland.


Using the Land Register as the basis:

  • for the professional combining external data sets relevant to land and property on a map
  • for the public providing Land Register records digitally for the first time and priced at £3.20 compared to £50 from a professional.

Through research to understand customer needs, I identified an opportunity: by giving a little data away for free, the user had greater certainty they had a correct result and continued to purchase. I removed a ‘dark pattern’ and designed a more profitable service.

ScotLIS was also the first mobile-first/responsive map in RoS, further increasing its audience.
