Our Work

Following the UK Autumn Budget 2024, our analysis examines the key impacts of the Chancellor's statement on the property sector. Our analysis focuses on seven key themes, including:

• Tax and finance
• Housing
• Planning
• Life sciences
• Healthcare
• Regeneration and devolution 
• Net zero and clean energy

In partnership with Savills, the BPF are pleased to publish the UK Build-to-Rent Q3 2024 report. The report presents the quarterly growth patterns and trends over the last 10 years, and demonstrates the position the property sector is in.

The BPF strongly welcomes the consultation proposals to put development activity at the heart of the Government’s growth agenda and achieve a step change in housing delivery. We suggest ways in which the positive multi-tenure approach to housing can be improved further as well as setting out how the promising proposals for planning for employment can be even more impactful to deliver more economic growth and jobs.

Forty Government Bills were announced in the King’s Speech. This briefing summarises and responds to those relevant or potentially relevant to the property industry (ten Bills in total).

The BPF’s annual assessment of the commercial real estate’s economic footprint looks at the jobs and labour market, output and turnover, tax revenue and capital investment across the sector which comprises office, retail, industrial, logistics, leisure, medical and hotel properties as well as  Build-to-Rent and student accommodation.
