UK regulator closes Home REIT investigation but supports ongoing criminal probe
Home REIT said the Financial Conduct Authority had ended its investigation and did not intend to take further action against the company, according to Prop News Time. The inquiry examined the period from September 2020 through January 2023. The report says the regulator may revisit its decision if new information emerges.
A separate Serious Fraud Office investigation into suspected fraud and bribery involving past management remains open. The SFO announced six arrests in January 2026; these are investigative actions, not findings of guilt. Investor claims alleging misleading information also remain separate, so closing the FCA inquiry does not settle the other proceedings.
