A fair few of the bigger names are on premiums, which seems crazy to me.
I quite like TRY and LMP. The former gets some indirect European exposure and the latter combines commercial and residential, and is run by two very experienced guys with a lot of skin in the game.
I also hold IUKP in most portfolios but the yield on that is pretty low IMO.I am not a financial adviser and neither do I play one on television. I might occasionally give bad advice but at least it's free.

Are you looking at bricks and mortar property funds or property share funds?

tbh honest probably a combo of both0

What I do tend to avoid are open-ended property funds. At the first whiff of people running for the exits, they bolt the doors leaving your money stuck there, perhaps for years.
With close-ended, you may take a hit when leaving, but at least you can leave.I am not a financial adviser and neither do I play one on television. I might occasionally give bad advice but at least it's free.

TR property uses direct holdings for UK and indirect for Europe.
I bought a big chunk when Europe was having serious wobble and am up nearly 80% and I think it's still a good holding so might add.I am not a financial adviser and neither do I play one on television. I might occasionally give bad advice but at least it's free.

I agree, TRY has done well for me.
Blackrock global property tracker is, additionally, a cheap way to add broad listed exposure.0 -
I avoid funds including trackers as I avoid the extra BPs of platforms by directly holding ETFs, IT, REITs, etc.
Hence TRY, UKIP, etc. Oh, and INFR for infrastructure, which is another good income play.I am not a financial adviser and neither do I play one on television. I might occasionally give bad advice but at least it's free.
