Buy a heavily discounted REIT right now. Wait until 2021 for full div's and the SP will rise. Look for bargains and you can get 30% projected.

Talks in media of CGT changes leading to a sell of off properties? Treasury needs cash.

Have a look at the US REITs, much bigger and safer than UK ones. Check out ones like O, STOR, ESS, AVB, WPC. They can be bought in ISAs, SIPPs etc

Greater opportunity to allocate capital to and/or diversify across sectors / asset classes too.

Within that selection are offices and commercial property, residential apartments, self-storage warehouses etc.

REITs don’t have capital gains tax applied.

Yet.

No what I mean is there’s no Cgt allowance for companies owning property like individuals have. Or am I missing something?
