Real Estate Investment Trust Activities in the UK - Industry Market Research Report

Industrial revolution: REITs specialising in warehouses triumph over those with retail-heavy portfolios

Real estate investment trusts (REITs) are attractive investment vehicles, as they are exempt from corporate tax. A reduction in REIT requirements and restrictions has encouraged new entrants, although many were hit hard by the retail crash during the COVID-19 outbreak. Revenue is expected to decline at a compound annual rate of 4.2% over the five years through 2022-23 to £6.2 billion, and profit is expected to be 17.7%.

Real estate investment trusts (REITs) are listed companies with closed-ended share capital that hold, manage and maintain property portfolios for investment purposes (i.e. renting to tenants).

This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.
