About Us

Kiwis in Property (KIP) is a professional networking group promoting business and career opportunities for New Zealanders connected with the commercial property sector in the UK, Europe and globally.

KIP began in 2014 when three kiwis met in a Spitalfields pub and decided to start a club where they could talk about big buildings, jandals and chilly bins in the same sentence. Today our mailing list reaches over 1300 property kiwis in London, back home in NZ and across the world.

Our membership includes property investors, developers, corporate occupiers, agents, lawyers, architects and many other professions associated with the commercial property sector. We actively connect our members so they can do business together and we help new arrivals to find work in the property sector and settle into London life. On the social side we also enjoy the odd NZ craft beer and occasionally dressing up in silly outfits!

Group membership and events are open to all NZ passport holders with connections to commercial property. Wherever you are in the world you can sign up to our mailing list for free. If you are UK based we encourage you to also subscribe as a KIP member for only £49 per annum. Membership entitles you to free entry to the majority of our London networking events and discounted rates for social events. KIP members are also eligible to list themselves in our “Find a Kiwi” directory – promote your expertise and get noticed!

You can view highlight videos of our breakfast speaker events here. Become a paid KIP member to access our full video library of speaker talks.

On 24th April we have our Anzac Eve drinks which are a combined event with the Property Aussies and the Insurance Kiwis. Thanks to the kind sponsorship from Chancerygate, paid KIP members get free entry but book ASAP as numbers are limited.

Those back in Auckland don't miss out as we have KIP Auckland Chapter drinks at Mr Murdoch's bar on 1st May.

Early notice that we have a couple of incredible speaker breakfasts lined up for 2025. First we have Emma Cariaga from British Land at Canada Water in May followed by Benjamin Davis the Kiwi MD of Octopus Funds in September. These events will be popular so best book your place now. FREE entry for paid KIP members.

Remember for paid KIP members all of our events are FREE or discounted. KIP membership is just £49 per annum and you can upgrade your membership status on our website at any time.

"I met with Bryce after a week of being in London. He explained the benefit of KIP, which I was immediately attracted to and helped me by posting my arrival to the KIP network and his network.
The post generated a number of leads for me to follow, whether it was people wanting to help or people who had jobs on offer. This ultimately led to a job offer shortly after. I was very pleased with how helpful Bryce and his network were. It certainly made the job hunt easier and allowed me to connect with other kiwis in the market." Tom Darry, CIT.

This short video explains more GBPensions - An overview of your UK to New Zealand pension transfer options (youtube.com).
