Notes to the Condensed Financial Statements 
 
for the six months ended 31 October 2017 
 
1. Corporate information 
 
AEW UK REIT plc (the 'Company') is a closed ended Real Estate Investment Trust
('REIT') incorporated on 1 April 2015 and domiciled in the UK. 
 
The comparative information for the year to 30 April 2017 does not constitute
statutory accounts as defined in section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. The
auditors reported on those accounts; their report was unqualified, and did not
contain a statement under section 498(25) or (23) of the Companies Act 2006. 
 
2. Accounting policies 
 
2.1 Basis of preparation 
 
These interim condensed unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, and should be read in
conjunction with the Company's last financial statements for the year ended 30
April 2017. These condensed unaudited financial statements do not include all
information required for a complete set of financial statements proposed in
accordance with IFRS as adopted by the EU ("EU IFRS"), however, selected
explanatory notes have been included to explain events and transactions that
are significant in understanding changes in the Company's financial position
and performance since the last financial statements. A review of the interim
financial information has been performed by the Independent Auditor of the
Company and was approved for issue on 6 December 2017. 
 
The comparative figures disclosed in the condensed unaudited financial
statements and related notes have been presented for the six month period to
31 October 2016 and year ended 30 April 2017 and as at 31 October 2016 and 30
April 2017. 
 
Although not required by IAS 34, the comparative figures as at 31 October 2016
for the Condensed Statement of Financial Position and for the year ended 30
April 2017 for the Condensed Statement of Comprehensive Income, Condensed
Statement of Changes in Equity and Condensed Statement of Cash Flows and
related notes have been included on a voluntary basis. 
 
These condensed unaudited financial statements have been prepared under the
historical-cost convention, except for investment property, investments and
interest rate derivatives that have been measured at fair value. 
 
The condensed unaudited financial statements are presented in Sterling and all
values are rounded to the nearest thousand pounds (£'000), except when
otherwise indicated. 
 
The Company is exempt by virtue of Section 402 of the Companies Act 2006 from
the requirement to prepare group financial statements. These financial
statements present information solely about the Company as an individual
undertaking. 
 
New standards, amendments and interpretations 
 
There are a number of new standards and amendments to existing standards which
have been published and are mandatory for the Company's accounting periods
beginning after 1 November 2017 or later periods, but the Company has decided
not to adopt them early. The following are the most relevant to the Company
and their impact on the financial statements: 
 
• IFRS 7 (Financial Instruments: Disclosures) amendments regarding additional
hedge accounting disclosures (applied when IFRS 9 is applied); 
 
• IFRS 9 (Financial Instruments) effective for annual periods beginning on or
after 1 January 2018; 
 
• IFRS 15 (Revenue from Contracts with Customers) issued in May 2014 and
applies to an annual reporting period beginning on or after 1 January 2018;
and 
 
• IFRS 16 (Leases) issued in January 2016 and is effective for annual periods
beginning on or after 1 January 2019. 
 
The Company does not expect the adoption of new accounting standards issued
but not yet effective to have a significant impact on the Financial
Statements. 
 
2.2 Significant accounting judgements and estimates 
 
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with EU IFRS requires
the Directors of the Company to make judgements, estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts recognised in the financial statements.
However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in
outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the
asset or liability in the future. 
 
i) Valuation of investment property 
 
The Company's investment property is held at fair value as determined by the
independent valuer on the basis of fair value in accordance with the
internationally accepted Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors ('RICS')
Appraisal and Valuation Standards. 
 
ii) Valuation of investments 
 
Investments in collective investment schemes are stated at NAV value with any
resulting profit or loss recognised in profit or loss. The NAV value is
considered by the Directors to be the best reflection of fair value available
to the Company. 
 
iii) Segmental information 
 
In accordance with IFRS 8, the Company is organised into one main operating
segment being investment in property and property related investments in the
UK. 
 
2.3 Going concern 
 
The Directors have made an assessment of the Company's ability to continue as
a going concern and are satisfied that the Company has the resources to
continue in business for at least 12 months. Furthermore, the Directors are
not aware of any material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt upon
the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Therefore, the financial
statements have been prepared on the going concern basis. 
 
2.4 Summary of significant accounting policies 
 
The principle accounting policies applied in the preparation of these
financial statements are consistent with those applied within the Company's
Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 30 April 2017.

Valuation of investment property 
 
Valuation of investment property is performed by Knight Frank LLP, an
accredited external valuer with recognised and relevant professional
qualifications and recent experience of the location and category of the
investment property being valued. 
 
The valuation of the Company's investment property at fair value is determined
by the external valuer on the basis of market value in accordance with the
internationally accepted RICS Valuation - Professional Standards
(incorporating the International Valuation Standards). 
 
The determination of the fair value of investment property requires the use of
estimates such as future cash flows from assets (such as lettings, tenants'
profiles, future revenue streams, capital values of fixtures and fittings,
plant and machinery, any environmental matters and the overall repair and
condition of the property) and discount rates applicable to those flows.

Explanation of the fair value hierarchy: 
 
Level 1 - Quoted prices for an identical instrument in active markets; 
 
Level 2 - Prices of recent transactions for identical instruments and
valuation techniques using observable market data; and 
 
Level 3 - Valuation techniques using non-observable data. 
 
Sensitivity analysis to significant changes in unobservable inputs within
Level 3 of the hierarchy 
 
The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement
categorised within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy of the entity's
portfolios of investment properties are: 
 
1) Estimated Rental Value ('ERV') 
 
2) Equivalent yield 
 
Increases/(decreases) in the ERV (per sq ft perannum) in isolation would
result in a higher/(lower) fair value  measurement. Increases/(decreases) in
the discount rate/yield in isolation would result in a lower/(higher) fair
value measurement. 
 
The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement
categorised within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy of the entity's
investment is: 
 
1) NAV 
 
Increases/(decreases) in the NAV would result in a higher/(lower) fair value
measurement. 
 
The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement
categorised within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy of the portfolio of
investment property and investments are: 
 
                                                         Significant

Where possible, sensitivity of the fair values of Level 3 assets are tested to
changes in unobservable inputs to reasonable alternatives. 
 
Gains and losses recorded in profit or loss for recurring fair value
measurements categorised within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are
attributable to changes in unrealised profits or losses relating to investment
property and investments held at the end of the reporting period. 
 
With regards to both investment property and investments, profits and losses
for recurring fair value measurements categorised within Level 3 of the fair
value hierarchy, prior to adjustment for rent free debtor and rent guarantee
debtor, are recorded in profit and loss. 
 
The carrying amount of the assets and liabilities, detailed within the
Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, is considered to be
the same as their fair value.
