We represent the interests of all those involved in property ownership and investment.
We aim to create the conditions in which the property industry can grow and thrive, for the benefit of our members and of the economy as a whole.
We do this by lobbying the government and other bodies on things like finance, tax, planning, sustainability and housing policy.

Buildings play a crucial role in our lives, and a large chunk of our pensions are invested in property. So property’s success is important to us all, now and in the future.
It’s vital for the economy too. The property industry is twice the size of the oil industry, bigger than the banking sector, and it will have a key role in the country's recovery.
We are here to protect this vital industry’s interests.
