Draft legislation to enable the creation of UK-REITs.

UK REITs will also encourage increased institutional and professional investment to support the private rented sector. The documentation contains a summary of the key structural features of a UK-REIT, draft legislation with explanatory notes, an updated regulatory impact assessment and concludes with a summary of responses to "UK Real Estate Investment Trusts: a discussion paper" (L129093), the Budget 2005 consultation.
