Real Estate Investment trusts (REITs) a new beginning

The property industry is set for a boost from January 1 2007 as new era dawns for property investors and the Londons financial markets. REITs will open up the commercial property market to ordinary investors in the UK. So what exactly is a REIT ? REIT stands for real estate investment trust. They are collective investments which pool investors money. Basically, buying shares in a REIT would allow you to invest in various types of property without the complications of physically buying into bricks and mortar. The investment trust invests in properties which are then leased - sort of like buy-to-let but on a far bigger scale. REITs will give ordinary property investors the chance to gain access to the commercial property market through a well regulated, easily traded vehicle. These trusts are already popular in other countries, such as the US, France, Australia and Japan.

UK property market and REITs

It has taken more than 20 years of lobbying to get the government to introduce tax-efficient Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) to the UK. Property investors confused by REITS can be assisted by an impressive organisation named Reita.
