AREF was founded in the early 1970s and formalised in 1986. Membership of the Association is by the relevant Trust or Fund but representation may be from the Committee of Management, Sponsoring House or the responsible Surveyor.
The Association's objective is to raise awareness of Real Estate Funds and demonstrate the advantages of these funds as effective property investment vehicles.
Women represent only 15% of the property and construction industry workforce, a balance still to be redressed. The Association of Women in Property aims to do just this. We are a national organisation that seeks to enhance the profile of women in this sector, both by providing a dynamic forum for women in these professions and by encouraging and nurturing aspiring talent.
