Yes.. basically central property registries. But as far as I know these are usually operated by governments (and some elements such as rating records are operated by local councils) - and last I used one, it cost money to get a detailed property summary and took time. It does not sound as though that would help with online stuff.

On that subject, the privacy laws can be fairly strong and it's unusal to allow information to be released - unless it's fairly "non personal".

From that angle.. I doubt what exists would be of much value towards a portal.
