Property alliance
Four leading UK property bodies have formed an alliance to tackle major property issues in a more co-ordinated way while retaining their separate identities and roles. The formation of the Property Alliance, will give the commercial property sector a stronger voice on issues where greater coherence can make a difference. It builds on the recent REITs campaign which demonstrated the success that can be achieved when organisations collaborate. The four members of the Property Alliance are: British Council for Offices (BCO), British Property Federation (BPF), Investment Property Forum (IPF) and Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS). Among its first actions the Property Alliance has agreed to set up a pan-industry research group to improve coordination of research programmes across the sector and maximise the impact and reach of that research. The Alliance will also be undertaking work designed to examine levels of satisfaction among commercial property tenants.
