London Baptist Property Board
The London Baptist Property Board (LBPB) was founded and incorporated on 30
March 1906 by the London Baptist Association. It was established to assist
the Churches with the management of their property.
Money
As part of its role, the Board accepts deposits and makes loans to the
Churches for property related matters. It can assist people wishing to
make covenants or bequests to Churches or denominational agencies. The
Board is also able to receive and distribute donations to Churches through
Gift Aid.
Interest Rates
The Board's interest rates are published each week in The Baptist Times. Rates at 1 March 2008 were 4.10% (CAR 4.15%) for deposits and 6.8% (APR 7.04%) for loans.
Trustee
The Board also acts as holding trustee for many London Churches and a few
Churches outside London. At the end of September 1999 the Board was
trustee for 289 Churches and certain other bodies as listed at the back of the annual report.
Property Inspections
In 1995 the Board launched a programme of quinquennial (five yearly)
inspections of church buildings and manses. This is intended to help
highlight areas of required maintenance at an early stage. Churches who
want to know more about this programme should contact
Rev Paul Martin.
