Real estate finance is CREFC Europe’s world, but we recognise that the funding challenges for real estate go beyond the commercial mortgage market in which we specialise. Examples include the implications for the sector as a whole of the shift from defined benefit to defined contribution pensions, and the twin challenges of climate transition and meeting the nation’s housing needs.
We are therefore involved in an effort by the UK Property Industry Alliance (in which we sit alongside six other relevant membership bodies) to form a new cross-industry committee, the PIA Finance Group, bringing together a small group drawn from across the sector to monitor that broader landscape and inform both industry and policy conversations. Key to this initiative is selecting the right person to chair this group (as well as populating the group more generally). If you are interested, please follow this link to learn more – Peter will also be delighted to discuss the role and this new group further. Note that the application deadline is Friday 3 January.
