Webinar on 'Who invests in UK property, and where do they invest?'

You are invited!

We're pleased to invite you to a webinar co-hosted by the BPF and CoStar, following the recent launch of our joint report, ‘Who Invests in UK Property?’. This in-depth session will delve into the key findings of the report, offering a comprehensive analysis of current investor profiles, capital flows and emerging trends within the UK property market.

During the webinar, industry experts from both organisations will share their perspectives on the evolving investment landscape, explore what’s driving investor behaviour and discuss the implications for the market in 2025 and beyond.

This is an excellent opportunity for property professionals, investor, and analysts to gain valuable insights and engage in a discussion on the future of UK real estate investment.
