Frequently Asked Questions

Membership is for twelve months from the month of joining and is associated to a named individual. Benefits accrue to the named member and membership is non-transferable, following the member if they move within the industry.

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.

In appreciation of their ongoing support of the organisation, Women in Property is 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 addition to standard membership, Women in Property offers Student and Retired Memberships.

Women in Property does not currently offer corporate membership, rather actively encourages members' employers to get involved with the organisation and its activities.

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.

NOTE: Membership fees qualify for tax relief when paid by the member (HMRC approved with effect from 6th April 2026)

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.

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.

If you have any questions on membership please contact our National Membership Administrator via our Contact Us page or Tel: 01462 635416

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

We are pleased to offer members the opportunity to 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, to our National Membership Administrator via our Contact Us page 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.
