About Property Vault · Leeds, UK

About Property Vault: property means anything that can be owned.

We are building one trusted identity for the world's assets - homes, land, cars, boats, aircraft, watches, art, collections, casks, bloodstock, infrastructure and rights - so that anything of value can be proven, protected, shared and, through regulated partners, financed. Founded by Daniel Tidmarsh in Leeds, UK.

The vision

The world's assets become discoverable, verifiable, transferable and financeable.

Every asset of value should carry one trusted identity: who owns it, where it came from and what proves it. We are building that layer - the digital asset identity, the asset provenance behind it and the verification score on top - homes first, then everything that can be owned.

  1. If you own it, put it in your Vault.

    A Vault ID, free for owners. Documents, history and natural keys held off-chain, shared on the owner's terms.

  2. If it has value, verify it.

    Evidence graded by who issued it - Building Control, registered professionals, firms, then the owner - and sealed on upload.

  3. If it is verifiable, it can become investable.

    Through regulated partners, where the law allows. We supply identity, Verified History and eligibility data; a regulated issuer or lender does the rest. Roadmap · subject to approvals

Why the name

Two words that carry the whole idea.

Property does not have to mean real estate. In plain English, property is anything that can be owned - a house, a car, a boat, a watch, a painting, a cask, a royalty. It is the only word wide enough.

Vault is the secure digital container of everything that proves, describes and gives financial utility to an asset. Not a folder of scans: a Vault ID, graded evidence, sealed documents, owner-controlled scopes and a Vault Score - a verification score - whether the documents exist, who issued them and that they are unaltered since issue; never a valuation, a credit input or a judgement of the work.

  • Owner-controlled, read under scope, opens logged
  • Sealed on upload - hash and integrity receipt
  • No custody of keys, money or goods

The story so far

Homes first, from Leeds.

We started with the asset most people own and can least often prove: the home. The Homes pilot is a working app with a real verification engine, sealed documents and scoped sharing. One demonstration record is public.

  1. Today

    Homes pilot Live in pilot

    Vault IDs with UPRN enforcement, event timelines, sealed documents, a Vault Score engine with published weights, four scopes, a professional admin.

  2. Next

    Yorkshire, then the UK Launching

    Open-data seeding, scheme-certificate ingestion, the Sale-Ready Passport, the Vault API by request, anchoring with a public verifier.

  3. Then

    Watches & jewellery, then Vehicles Launching

    Chosen by who signs, not by market size: watches and jewellery (the Luxury class) open next, then Vehicles, then Marine (designed to support marine assets) - each with the insurers and dealers who register it. Every other class is designed for - register interest.

  4. Roadmap

    Markets Roadmap · subject to approvals

    Tokenised ownership, collateral and lending on the XRP Ledger - launching through regulated partners, subject to regulatory approvals.

What building the pilot taught us

  1. 1

    Evidence is only as good as its issuer. A Building Control certificate and an owner's photograph are not the same kind of fact; the Vault Score weights them differently, openly.

  2. 2

    A record is useless in the wrong form. The buyer's solicitor and the lender decide what they accept; we build to that form.

  3. 3

    A record must never be empty on day one. Seeding each Vault from open data - launching - makes the first visit worthwhile.

  4. 4

    "Sealed" has to be provable. A hash on upload, a receipt and, as anchoring launches, a daily anchor to the XRP Ledger a stranger can check.

Principles

Seven rules we build by.

So anyone can hold us to them.

  1. 01

    Owner-controlled

    The owner controls who reads the record. Scopes are time-limited and role-limited; opens are logged.

  2. 02

    Evidence graded by who issued it

    Building Control outranks a registered professional, then a firm, then the owner - 1.0, 0.9, 0.7, 0.4. The weights are published.

  3. 03

    Verify before anything is tokenised

    Nothing is tokenised without a minimum Vault Score and a clean statutory record. Our founder's caveat: the legal bridge between a blockchain token and a real-world asset is the hard part.

  4. 04

    Off-ledger by default for people's data

    Documents, personal data, natural keys and title never go on-ledger. The ledger is for anchors and pointers only - never title.

  5. 05

    Never custody

    Property Vault never holds keys, client money or goods, and never issues a token or stablecoin of its own.

  6. 06

    Regulated partners for anything that is an investment

    Tokenised ownership, collateral and lending launch with FCA-authorised issuers and regulated lenders, subject to regulatory approvals. Nothing here is an offer or a financial promotion.

  7. 07

    Say what exists and what is roadmap

    Three labels, used exactly: Live in pilot, Launching, Roadmap · subject to approvals. Every item and its label is on the status page. No unsourced counts.

Questions

Questions about Property Vault.

What owners, Organisations and investors most often ask about Property Vault.

What is Property Vault?

An asset identity company based in Leeds, UK. Property Vault gives any asset of value - a home first, then watches and jewellery, vehicles, marine and the rest of twelve classes - a permanent Vault ID, sealed documents, a Verified History and a Vault Score, shared only on the owner's terms. Free for owners; Pro for Organisations; Markets through regulated partners, subject to regulatory approvals.

Is Property Vault an estate agent, a storage company or a crypto exchange?

No. Several unrelated businesses use similar names; Property Vault at propertyvault.world is not connected with any of them. We sell no property, store no goods, hold no keys or client money and run no exchange or venue.

Who founded Property Vault?

Daniel Tidmarsh, in Leeds. He is the only named person on the site; every other seat is listed as a role until it is filled.

Is Property Vault a blockchain company?

It is an XRP Ledger company in one specific sense: the ledger is the anchoring, settlement and tokenisation infrastructure we design for - RLUSD the settlement asset, XRP the liquidity. The record itself lives off-chain; the ledger holds anchors, pointers and issuer credentials that identify no person or property. Integrity anchoring runs as a rehearsal on the XRPL testnet: Merkle roots of keyed commitments are written to the test network, which can be reset, and listed on the public anchor page; mainnet anchoring is on the roadmap, subject to approvals.

Where is Property Vault based, and is it hiring?

Leeds, UK, remote-friendly. No open roles today; the roles a funding round pays for are listed on the careers page, and you can write to hello@propertyvault.world now.
