Who we are

Why join?

By joining the BPF you gain all the advantages of a professional, effective lobbying service without the cost of having your own in-house department.

You have the opportunity to influence those who make decisions that could affect the value of your company.

You have the strength of the rest of the property industry (and the rest of industry on certain campaigns) working alongside you, rather than going it alone.

In addition, you will:

• have opportunities to share your views and debate the way ahead on key issues affecting the property industry
• have the opportunity to influence the future as a member of a BPF committee or working party, responding to consultations and contributing to government policy
• be kept up to date with important developments in central and local government and related agencies through a weekly emailed notification
• have plenty of opportunities to network with others in the industry at our annual events – conference, lunch and cocktail party – and occasional informal get-togethers and meetings around the country.
