** Exane BNP Paribas cuts its estimates across European real estate companies, pointing to modest risks to earnings and property values

** Still, the broker says the cut is less severe than in other corporate sectors

** Though the impact of tariffs on the sector is limited, trade policy uncertainty and lower economic growth are likely to result in reduced tenant demand, the broker says

** It shifts to a preference for Britain vs continental Europe given leverage is lower, tariff risks are higher in Europe and relative value is attractive

** The broker upgrades five stocks in its coverage that "look oversold" while it downgrades Spain's Colonial COL.MC to "neutral" from "outperform"
