The British Property Federation (BPF) represents the UK real estate sector, an industry which contributes more than £137.5bn to the economy and supports 2.7 million jobs – that’s one in every 13 jobs in the UK.
We deliver our mission by working collaboratively with national and local government and other partners; by promoting knowledge, innovation and best practice within the industry.
Our membership reflects the diverse nature of our industry and includes owners, developers, funders, agents and advisers. Organisations join the BPF because they want their voices to be heard and recognise our influence benefits the whole sector.
Our REIT Forum in predominantly made up of tax experts within REIT businesses, and from member accounting and legal firms. We engage with HMRC to seek improvements to the REIT legislation – and clarity in the guidance. The group also considers future reforms which could improve and modernise the regime and better support further growth of the UK REIT regime.
