Others

• Property Week: Property Week is the leading UK commercial property news publication and a media partner of Women in Property through the 'Inspiring Diversity in Property' campaign. It is thematically connected as a key industry media outlet but is a publisher rather than a networking organization.

Broad incumbents

• Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA): RIBA is the UK professional body for architects, serving many of the same professionals as Women in Property (including Buttress Architects where former WiP National Chair Chithra Marsh is Director). RIBA is broader in scope, handling qualifications and policy, while WiP focuses on gender parity networking.
• Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB): CIOB is the professional body for construction management and leadership, with members across the UK built environment. It overlaps with Women in Property's audience of construction professionals and runs its own diversity and inclusion initiatives, but operates as a broader qualification-granting incumbent.
• Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI): RTPI is the UK's professional body for town planners, with members who are also served by Women in Property's networking and mentoring programmes (WiP mentors support members through RTPI APCs). It is a broader incumbent operating across the same built environment disciplines.
• Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS): RICS is the global professional body for chartered surveyors and built environment professionals, with significant UK membership. It overlaps with Women in Property in serving property/construction professionals and running EDI and women-focused initiatives, but operates as a much broader qualification-granting incumbent.
• Urban Land Institute (ULI) UK: ULI UK is the British chapter of a global real estate and land use research and education organization, serving senior built environment professionals. It overlaps with WiP in serving property professionals and running diversity initiatives but operates as a broader global network with a more senior/executive focus.

Direct peers

• Women in Construction (UK): Women in Construction is a direct peer organization operating in the UK focused on supporting women working in the construction industry through networking, mentoring, and events. It serves an overlapping professional audience with Women in Property but focuses more narrowly on construction rather than the broader property and built environment sector.
• NAWIC (National Association of Women in Construction): NAWIC is a direct peer as an international organization dedicated to supporting and advancing women in the construction industry through networking, education, and leadership programmes. It is the most direct functional equivalent to Women in Property globally, with chapters serving similar professional audiences.
• Women in Architecture: Women in Architecture is a direct peer as a networking and advocacy organization focused on supporting women in the architecture profession. It addresses a narrower sub-segment of the built environment than Women in Property (which spans all disciplines) but serves a similar career-development and equality-focused mission.

Emerging players

• WISE Campaign: WISE Campaign is a UK organization focused on promoting gender balance in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), including the built environment. It is thematically comparable to Women in Property in addressing women in technical/professional industries but operates as a broader advocacy organization rather than a membership network.
