A New Industry Body

Real Estate: UK (RE:UK)

The Association of Real Estate Funds (AREF), the British Property Federation (BPF) and the Investment Property Forum (IPF) are in formal discussions to establish a new, unified representative body for the UK real estate investment industry.

The proposed organisation - Real Estate: UK (RE:UK) – will bring together the strengths of all three organisations to create a single, stronger voice for the sector. The aim is to improve engagement with government and regulators, enhance cross-sector collaboration, and support the future success and sustainability of UK real estate.

AREF remains fully operational during this transition, continuing to deliver all existing services, events and initiatives for members.
