Does it really have to be Property over Pension?

Show date: Friday 11th June 2010

Making sure we’re set up for retirement has never caused so many headaches for those of us wanting to make sure we have money with which we can enjoy our golden years.

The investment property market which has traditionally been seen as a safe bet for investors  is now no longer seen as such a safe prospect following the past few years of economic turbulence.

Not only have property prices taken a huge tumble since the recession, but there is now a glut of empty rentals on the market and with capital gains tax increases on the way from the new government, there’s no guarantee that the bricks and mortar you invest in will yield any profit in the long run.

However forgoing property as a nest egg for a straight forward pension plan is not necessarily the right route either.

And it’s not just our own retirement keeping us awake at night, with many of us increasingly concerned about whether our children are choosing the right path to financial security as well.

So what is the best course of action for you and your offspring’s financial future? Well if you are after some advice log on to our live WebTV show, where property expert Sofie Allsop will be offering her help and recommendations, alongside pension expert Paul Goodwin from Aviva.
