QuotedData reports that the Financial Conduct Authority closed its own Home REIT inquiry to concentrate resources on supporting the Serious Fraud Office's continuing criminal investigation. The briefing cites an FCA spokesperson's comments to Citywire and notes that the SFO investigation involved six arrests earlier in 2026. Closing the FCA inquiry does not mean the separate criminal investigation has ended.

Elsewhere in the property briefing, Unite Group reported selling an academy school at London's Hawthorne House for £40.7 million. Unite said it remained on course for £300 million to £400 million in disposals during the year. That wider disposal figure is management's target, rather than proceeds already received.

## Research considerations

REIT news can cover acquisitions, operating results, distributions, capital raising, and liquidity. Publicly traded and nontraded structures can have different reporting and liquidity arrangements. Identify the actual vehicle before comparing an announcement with other investments.

- Which REIT or portfolio is covered, and what period does the announcement describe?
- How do the reported figures relate to debt, operating performance, distribution coverage, and liquidity?
