Gravis's Matthew Norris on top UK REIT trends & investment themes

Gravis head of real estate securities Matthew Norris tells Proactive's Stephen Gunnion that the UK REIT sector is deep in a takeover wave, with further mergers and overseas acquisitions likely as discounted valuations attract motivated buyers. His advice to shareholders evaluating bids is straightforward: look beyond the headline premium and ask "what are these assets worth to this motivated buyer?" Norris sees particular opportunity in healthcare property, data centres, fulfilment centres, build-to-rent residential and supply-constrained central London markets. The numbers supporting the sector are compelling: average discounts of around 30% to NAV, dividend yields approaching 6% and analyst price targets implying roughly 19% upside. With growing income streams and potential re-rating catalysts ahead, Norris says the setup for UK REITs looks increasingly attractive.
