Is property still a good investment?

The reason that property investment became so popular was that ordinary hard working people where frightened off conventional investments.  Investors where tired of giving hard earned income to some fund manager in hope that they could net sufficient returns in time for their retirement.  The stock market is very volatile and any investment is always considered to have risk to the capital invested and we have also had a few pension scandals along the way.

On the other hand property was always considered to be safe; the tangible asset would always be there and over the past 10 years property values have only gone one way “up”

 Even through this past 2 years property has still been seen to be a good investment, people are still very keen to buy property, I have yet to meet one person that says they will never invest in property again.  I predict that the property market will recover within the next two years.

 So, is property still a good investment?  Well let’s compare the two.

 I have an existing endowment that was taken out when I bought my first house back in 1988.  The target amount was £36,000 and the premium is £67.40, the current value is £22,147 and the projected final amount will be £27,240; this is an £8,760 shortfall.  The property that I bought at that time now has a value of around £105,000:  So you tell me “is property still a good investment” If it is done properly and you get the right advice, absolutely.  Property investment is like any other investment, it needs your time to look after it.
