The report provides key recommendations for both the Government and property sector, to ensure enough warehouse space is built to sufficiently service new and growing communities across England.
This third edition of Heritage Works is a streamlined and updated version of the 2013 document. It includes new case studies and directs the reader to sources of further information and guidance.

This report was researched by Deloitte for the British Property Federation (BPF), the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), and Historic England.
The affordable housing sector needs to expand to meet need. This report explores current constraints on the sector’s growth and measures the funding gap between provision and what is needed. The report further explores the role of investors in the sector and the crucial role that equity investment can play in helping the sector to expand provision. Finally, the report looks at the roles of Government, Housing Associations, and Institutional Investors and what each could contribute to expanding supply.
The Government’s ambitious target of 1.5 million homes over the next five years is essential in the UK’s constrained housing market, with a stark undersupply of social, affordable, market-for-sale and privately rented homes.
Achieving this goal in the current fiscally constrained environment will necessitate exploring alternative sources of funding beyond traditional Government and private funding mechanisms.
In this paper we detail the opportunities available using institutional capital and our four key policy pillars to deliver the change required.
The UK property industry is worth around £110 billion to the economy, roughly 5% of UK GVA and supporting 1 in 13 jobs. It is a foundational sector underpinning all other economic activity that relies on the built environment to function.
It is also a sector that is very open to global capital investment. That is why the BPF has partnered with CoStar to produce 'Who Invests in UK Property', which is the first of an annual series that will track trends in overseas investment into UK property. This will demonstrate the scale of such investment, as well as give indications as to who is investing and where that capital is going, both in terms of geography and asset type.
Through this report, we intend to inform policy-making so that it can understand and better support such investment into the UK, further growing the economy and helping achieve policy ambitions to build more homes, create more jobs andregenerate town centres.
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.
Following our Building Our Future campaign, our BPF Autumn Budget representation outlines how the UK property sector can work with the Government to make a significant contribution to national growth by building more homes, employment spaces, and critical infrastructure, revitalising town centres, decarbonising buildings, and embracing PropTech and data.
