Membership FAQ's
What are the current Fees & Terms of Membership?
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.
NOTE: Membership fees qualify for tax relief when paid by the member (HMRC approved with effect from 6th April 2026)

What is Student Membership?
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 [email protected] 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 [email protected].
What is Retired Membership?
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 [email protected] for further details.
Retired Membership was introduced for any new applications made, or memberships due for renewal, on or after 1st October 2024.
When can I register a break in my membership?
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 [email protected] 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.
How is the long service membership discount applied
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.
