| BRIEF HISTORY AND ROLE |
The Association of Spanish Property Companies (Asociación de Inmobiliarias con Patrimonio en Alquiler) was founded on 5 July 1976.
It is a grouping of large Spanish property companies, several of them quoted, totalling more than 5.500.000 square metres of rental space (not counting parking lots) and more than EUR75,7 billion in equity. |
| PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES |
Public affairs. Since its inception it has worked for a series of economic, social and tax measures benefiting the property sector and its users and clients, drafting technical articles for an expert audience published in the specialised legal press and also preparing and publishing general articles about the sector for the daily press.
It has been very active in defending the interests of the sector including also small property investors (Larraz law, urban leasehold law, regularisation of company tax). As a result, successive governments since ASIPA’s founding have consulted with it and taken on many of its suggestions. The Association maintains regular contact with government, organising frequent meetings with senior ministers and with the political parties.
Education and training. It has patronised courses on management and financing of property companies, as well as seminars on taxation.
Forum. ASIPA is, above all, a discussion forum where sector professionals can exchange ideas so as to enhance all aspects of their business.
ASIPA was the catalyst for the European integration of Spanish property companies. |
