ARLA Campaigns
As a trade body the NFOPP monitors the development of
international, European, and UK policy and legislation, which may impact upon
its members, and upon their clients.
This work involves forming and maintaining relationships and dialogue
with a wide range of key stakeholders, including other professional bodies,
regulators, and politicians. It is also involves responding to a plethora of
formal and informal consultation exercises being undertaken by government
departments or others, so that the position
and views of members of the NFOPP are taken into full consideration when initiatives relating to the property
sector are being shaped.
Over all the NFOPP aims to be a leading, consistent, and
influential voice on all property related issues. The new Campaigns area of the
NAEA web site is designed to provide members and others with examples of the NFOPP’s
policy portfolio.
