Real Estate:UK's Activities
RE:UK’s activities will be based around six key pillars:
Real Estate:UK Events
Membership of Real Estate:UK
RE:UK will serve as a unified convenor and voice for the whole of the real estate sector, comprising institutional and private investors, property companies, developers, asset owners, managers and advisers. Through the UK PropTech Association (UKPA) it will also champion the UK’s vibrant proptech sector.
RE:UK will offer two types of membership: corporate membership for most organisations; and individual membership for those for whom corporate membership is not appropriate. In addition fund managers wishing to access the fund-specific services currently delivered by AREF will be able to pay a fund add-on and proptech companies will continue to be able to join UKPA.
For existing corporate members of AREF and BPF 2026 will be a transitional year as the organisations are fully integrated, and your membership will transition to RE:UK membership.
IPF members who work for a company that is a member of AREF or BPF will no longer need to pay a separate fee to be part of RE:UK. IPF members who do not work for a corporate member of AREF or BPF will be invited to pay an individual member fee to join RE:UK when their existing IPF membership expires at the end of March 2026. IPF members who work for a corporate that is eligible for RE:UK membership will be able to keep their individual membership until the end of December 2027 at which point their organisation will need to take up corporate membership of RE:UK. Individual membership of RE:UK will remain available for sole traders and similar.
We welcome new members. We invite companies or individuals who are interested in joining RE:UK to contact us membership@bpf.org.uk.
