Real estate funds offer stability and long-term growth through diversified exposure to properties, while funds of funds provide cost-effective diversification across multiple asset classes.

Impact of Labour Policies on Rental Market: A RICS survey indicates tenants will face higher rents and increased competition due to Labour's policies affecting landlords. Increased stamp duty and budget changes are driving landlords out of the market, leading to a decline in rental properties and an expected 5% annual rent increase over the next five years.

Soho Estates' Financial Performance Amid Market Downturn: Soho Estates saw a record rental income but posted a pre-tax loss due to a drop in commercial property values. Despite a revenue increase driven by new tenants like Warner Bros and Skyscanner, the property portfolio's value declined, influenced by rising interest rates. The company remains stable with strong tenant demand.

Leasehold Reform Delays Expected: According to Alice Bradley, co-CEO of LEASE, significant leasehold reforms will take years to implement. Despite laws banning leaseholds for new houses and extending lease terms, the timeline for additional reforms, including ground rent caps and enhanced leaseholder rights, remains uncertain under the new Labour government.
