The UK's Shrinking REITs Sector Is Still Attracting Buyers
About this episode
The episode discusses the shrinking REITs sector in the UK and its implications for the commercial property market.
The number of REITs (real estate investment trusts) listed in London has shrunk dramatically over the past five years. Now the biggest REIT on the market is the subject of a bid from a US buyer. In this week's personal finance edition of Merryn Talks Your Money, Bloomberg senior reporter and author of the Money Distilled newsletter, John Stepek, is joined by Bloomberg real estate team leader Jack Sidders to discuss the health of the UK's commercial property sector, whether there is more consolidation to come, and what it might say about REIT valuations.
