The Investment Property Forum (IPF), the British Property Federation (BPF) and the Association of Real Estate Funds (AREF) are in talks to combine forces to create a new body to represent the interests of the UK real estate industry, with a formal proposal expected in 2025.
Bringing together the views, expertise and priorities of the existing bodies will promote a single coherent voice on behalf of stakeholders which can be heard more clearly above the market throng. It will be great to see which issue the new body chooses to focus on first.
