The voice of commercial property is silent. Newspapers overflow with reports of the negative effects of property development and overseas investment on our society - who is spelling out the real facts? Who is fighting for fair taxes and regulations of our sector? In a political and business landscape that seems to air more and more loud, opinionated voices each day, the voice of commercial property can be drowned out by the crowd. Of course, the answer is the wide variety of industry bodies championing our cause, Organisations such as the British Property Federation (BPF), the Investment Property Forum, the RICS and the Property Industry Alliance all do valuable work to challenge the government and push for change. But as active members of the industry, we need to do more. We need to echo their efforts. We're now in an even tougher political environment than before the election and we need to make sure the voice of property isn't lost.
