About us
The Government Property Profession is a network of over 2,000 members with responsibility for a range of property-related activities.
We use buildings every day of our lives. We live, work, learn and play in them. We deliver public services from them to the whole of society. Government property is integral to the UK’s infrastructure, the quality of our public services and a carbon neutral future.
Across central government, local authorities and wider public sector is a growing network of over 4000 property professionals who make up the Government Property Profession.
Property Professionals in government work in a huge variety of property related roles across the UK that enable the delivery of key Government priorities and offer some of the most exciting and unique property careers.
What does the Government Property Profession do?
The aim is simple: to make property better. We aim to improve capability and to allow government priorities in property to be delivered as effectively as possible.
In practical terms this may mean running the government estate in increasingly sustainable ways, building new public service infrastructure from prisons to schools, continuously improving the quality of the workplace, managing the whole life cycle of buildings in a more efficient way.
It means delivering more informed policy making, and better outcomes for the public in a whole range of areas where property impacts their lives.
