Abstract
Over the last 20 years the property market in the UK has reputedly become the most sophisticated in the world. It did not develop in this way by design. No government introduced legislation with the specific aim of encouraging the type of property market which exists today. The property market evolved due to a number of influences and in response to a number of situations. Inflation, national economic policy, entrepreneurial skill, the poor performance of gilts and equities, town planning and taxation have all contributed in different ways to the growth of the institutional investment market.
