The UK real estate, whether commercial or residential, is seen by many as a long term investment. Sometimes the investors do not expect any positive cash flow for years because their cost of borrowing eats up the entire rental stream. Without the cash flow of this rental stream, they are nonetheless building up a liability to capital gains tax and/or inheritance tax for themselves and their family.

However for many such investors both capital gains tax and inheritance tax are voluntary taxes and their effect can be significantly mitigated or eliminated by using the right ownership structures.
