UK Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) Market Trends:

Rising Tax Efficiency

The UK Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) offer tax advantages, making them attractive to investors seeking income-generating assets without corporate tax on rental profits. This is acting as a pivotal factor driving the market growth. In 2023, the UK government made important easements to the UK REIT regulations. A major change permits UK REITs to pay income from their corporation tax-free property rental trades to partnerships without the usual 20% withholding tax, if the partnership members would have qualified for gross payments (e.g., UK companies paying corporation tax) if the payments had been made to them directly. In addition, a new double tax treaty between the UK and Luxembourg, entered into in 2022, will be in full force by April 2024. Pursuant to this treaty, Luxembourg tax-resident real estate-holding vehicles are now liable to UK tax on chargeable gains on indirect disposals of UK property.

Strong Demand for Property Investment

The growing urbanization and increasing demand for residential, commercial, and sustainable properties drive investments in REITs, especially from institutional investors. For instance, in September 2024, Starwood Capital made a £673.5m (€799.3m) offer for the UK real estate investment trust (REIT) Balanced Commercial Property Trust (BCPT). Starwood, through its funds, has agreed to offer the FTSE 250 REIT’s shareholders 96.00p in cash for each share held in a take-private deal that requires 75% of shareholder votes. As of 3 September, the last business day before this announcement, BCPT’s market capitalization was about £598.4m. BCPT's diversified portfolio of 28 properties worth £882.7m is invested in the UK alone. In April, BCPT launched a review to consider options for enhancing shareholder value. This involved selling the business or its assets. Following interest from a number of companies, BCPT stated it chose Starlight Bidco a newly established company owned by Starwood funds to buy the business, stating that the BCPT board unanimously recommends the deal proposed.
