This is the prime location for informed opinion on property matters: finance, law, development, investment, planning, taxation, offices, retail, industrial, distribution, residential, healthcare, hotels and leisure. If it’s property, it’s in the remit. In online courses, conferences, webinars, and journals, we make sure the important issues are covered – sound, comprehensive and thorough.

Here to keep you informed; because it’s knowledge that underpins value – CPD at its very best.
