BPF Student Accommodation Committee

The Student Accommodation Committee shapes the BPF's student accommodation policy, specifically focusing on purpose-built student accommodation. Its purpose is to boost the supply of student housing and raise standards in the sector, and it does this by driving best practices and pushing for policy changes through thought leadership, research, consultation responses and engaging with key stakeholders.

The committee is made up of investors, developers, operators, advisors, and university bodies who are involved in the sector, and our key stakeholders include universities, local authorities, Parliament, Government and civil servants.
