Scroll down this link to see a number of offshore property investment trusts run by the big lifecos - Standard Life, Scot Widows, F&C, AXA, etc which are another (cheaper) choice than the unit trusts. They benefit from tax perks as they are offshore.You can count up to 300 quid p.a. in dividend income from an investment in one of these as tax free if you are a basic rate taxpayer and have no other foreign share income.
