In this episode, we delve into the intricacies of investing in property, a popular asset class in the UK. Many individuals traditionally invest in property by purchasing their homes, which often becomes their most valuable asset. However, while property investment offers a tangible sense of security, it also comes with unique rewards and potential drawbacks. This episode explores the various attributes of property as an investment, the associated risks, and the different methods of accessing this asset class, both directly and indirectly.

We discuss the power of leverage, a key advantage in property investment, which allows individuals to purchase property with relatively little capital through mechanisms like mortgages and buy-to-let schemes. Additionally, we cover indirect investment options, such as property funds, which enable investors to gain exposure to the property market without substantial capital outlay. The episode also highlights the key features of property investment, including its potential as a hedge against inflation and its impact on portfolio diversity and volatility. Moreover, we address the risks involved, such as liquidity risk, interest rate risk, and tax planning challenges, providing a comprehensive overview for those considering property as part of their investment strategy.
