One of the primary functions of the British Property Federation (BFP) is to lobby the government on behalf of those who own or invest in property in the UK. But that's not all the membership organization does; it provides a number of member services as well. Its members have the ability to receive custom news alerts and attend conferences and special interest seminars. Members include property development companies, retailers, investment banks, housing associations, surveyors, architects, and pretty much any group that owns or invests in property within the UK.
