The UK's Financial Conduct Authority has closed its two-year investigation into Home REIT without action but continues to support an ongoing Serious Fraud Office criminal probe linked to bribery and fraud allegations. The FCA reserved rights to revisit if new evidence emerges, amid investor lawsuits over alleged misrepresentation of rental income security and social impact.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Proptech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Your doors to UK social housing investment face lingering risk from unresolved criminal probes despite FCA closure. Keep scrutiny tight on legal fallout and customer trust in rental income claims.
