By joining the SPF you gain all the advantages of a professional, effective lobbying service without the cost of having your own in-house department.

You have the opportunity to influence those who make decisions that could affect the value of your company.

You have the strength of the rest of the property industry (and the rest of industry on certain campaigns) working alongside you, rather than going it alone.

In addition, you will:

• have opportunities to share your views and debate the way ahead on key issues affecting the property industry in Scotland and the wider UK
• have the opportunity to influence the future as a member of an SPF committee or working party, responding to consultations and contributing to Scottish Government policy
• be kept up to date with important developments in Holyrood, Westminster, local government and related agencies through weekly emailed notifications
• have opportunities to network with others in the industry at SPF and BPF events.
