MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

EPF represents the full range of private property ownership and investment: residential and commercial, direct and indirect, big and small, landlords, managers and brokers. Our mission is to bring property culture to EU policy makers and EU culture to the property industry.

Message from the Chairman

All aspects of real estate – brokerage, investment, leasing and management – have been gradually and often imperceptibly shaped by EU policy over time, in particular with the decades-long but ultimately successful effort to create an EU Internal Market for Real Estate ensuring property investment flows and the freedom to provide property services without obstacle.
