The real estate sector’s first social impact report – a collection of real-life examples of how we’ve been living up to our commitment, to be a force for good in local communities, during the year of Covid-19.
what: We have submitted our response to the BEIS consultation which discusses principles of implementing a future trajectory for non-domestic PRS MEES up to a standard of EPC B by 2030.
our view: We are broadly supportive of the government’s commitment to an EPC B standard by 2030, but have suggested interim milestones may not provide property owners with enough flexibility.
We're inviting expressions of interest from local authorities and similar public bodies who have regeneration or development plans and would like to discuss with private sector colleagues the best way to build successful public private partnerships.
The British Property Federation's submission to Jeremy Hunt MP, Chancellor of the Exchequer, ahead of the March Spring Budget. We set out how the property sector can better support key Government priorities, including: growth; housing; stronger town centres; and our green economy.
Firms and insolvency practitioners seeking to engage are recommended to read our outlined expectations and guidance, which includes the key points of contention that landlords look out for in a CVA.
What: Government is consulting on changes to the VAT grouping rules that could affect property businesses.
Our view: The compulsory VAT grouping proposals would be hugely disruptive for the sector, particularly build to rent and student accommodation.
We have responded to the Government’s consultation on locally-led development corporations. We support the locally-led model, and welcome the increased flexibility that this model can provide. We have, however, highlighted the need to ensure that corporations have the right powers if they are to be truly effective and note that there is huge insight and experience on development corporations within the BPF membership.
