Member Testimonials

  • Michele Weedon, Director, Eden International Property Consultants

    We have been members of AIPP for over 5 years now, the AIPP consumer marketing site (AIPO) is important to us. I think the ethos of the AIPO is an excellent way to guide potential customers to buy property overseas with confidence. Having my (free) listings on AIPO is very important for me because it helps me to build trust with people who could potentially become customers. This is only possible through my membership of AIPP.

  • Peter Esders, Solicitor at Judicare

    Judicare firmly believes in and supports the work that AIPP does to bring regulation and improved standards into the International Property industry and also its work in educating and protecting the public. In the work that we do we regularly see the result of transactions that have gone wrong and have to try and resolve those issues for clients. We applaud AIPP in trying to reduce these sorts of issues occurring in the first place. We are proud to be members of AIPP and will continue to support their valuable work through our membership. The work that AIPP does for the public and the industry reflects well upon members. It also reassures the public when they are using a member to help them buy property abroad.

  • Robin Wilson, Rightmove

    Joining the AIPP is a no-brainer for us, as they share the same values and aspirations we do in promoting confidence in the overseas property market.

  • Louise Reynolds, Owner MD of Property Venture

    After a career in the City, I launched Property Venture® to give common-sense advice to British buyers of a foreign property. I felt there was too much focus on selling and not enough down-to-earth consultation, guidance and objective advice in the industry. As such, our AIPP membership supports and endorses our position. It is good to be at the forefront of industry developments and be in a position to help shape them. Being a member also means making quality professional introductions through the various AIPP networking events and ‘Meet the Product Provider’ open days.
