Membership

Membership is for women working in the built environment industry.

We welcome people of all genders at the majority of our events and we receive great support from our allies.

We are pleased to offer Student Membership at a discounted rate to those aged 18 years+ who are studying in higher or further education on a built environment course and are not in full time employment.  

Please email membership@womeninproperty.org.uk with any queries.

Members will be asked to confirm their student status upon application or renewal (via a tick box option) and membership will be approved at Women in Property's sole discretion.

The discounted membership rate will be available to student members for a maximum of three years from the date of application unless otherwise agreed with Women in Property. Any such requests should be made by email to membership@womeninproperty.org.uk.

Women in Property welcomes applications from retired women, providing the benefits of all that membership offers; our varied events programme, access to fellow members via the membership directory,  sharing of experience by participating in our mentoring scheme, as well as contributing to wider WiP initiatives and helping to shape our future - find out more.

We are therefore pleased to offer a Retired Membership at a discounted rate to retired women who have previously worked within the built environment industry but are no longer within a paid position.  

Members will be asked to confirm their retired status upon application or renewal and membership will be approved at Women in Property's sole discretion.

Please contact membership@womeninproperty.org.uk for further details.

Retired Membership was introduced for any new applications made, or memberships due for renewal, on or after 1st October 2024.

Women in Property Membership is individual and the benefits accrue to the named member.  It is non-transferable and follows the member if they move within the industry. We do not currently have a corporate membership option but actively encourage members' employers to get involved with the organisation and its activities.

Membership is for twelve months from the month of joining. 

Renewal notices are sent out a month in advance of the renewal date. Membership lapses after two months from the date of renewal, if it remains unconfirmed. 

Membership that is cancelled during its term is non-refundable.

We are pleased to also offer a long service discount to any members who have held continuous membership for a period of 5 years or more in appreciation of their ongoing support of the organisation.

A discount of 10% on the current membership rate will be applied for any members who have held continuous membership for a period of 5 years or more. The start date for the period from which the discount is calculated will be reset for any lapses in membership.

Continuous membership will not be adversely affected by any registered breaks in membership agreed under our Membership Break policy.

Any discounts for long service membership will be automatically applied at the point of renewal.

The long service discount was introduced for any memberships due for renewal on or after 1st September 2024.

The issuing of VAT invoices is not an automated process and response times can not be guaranteed. This will vary depending on the volume of requests at any given time. 

NOTE: Invoices will be prepared using the details submitted in your application (or those on the membership database for renewing members). If the billing details required on the invoice differ to these, please submit these details here.  

Membership Break Policy: We are pleased to offer members the opportunity register a break in their membership if going on maternity leave, sabbatical or a career break.

This will effectively freeze the remaining period of paid membership until their return to work and the membership renewal date will be adjusted accordingly.

Any such requests should be made, in advance, by email to membership@womeninproperty.org.uk and will be agreed at Women in Property's sole discretion

We regret that we are unable to accept retrospective requests to apply for a membership break.
