I’d avoid property as an investment at the moment.
It’s just gut feel, We’re buying (hopefully) in the next few months so I spend my evenings window shopping on Rightmove, I see decent houses sit around for 6, 12 even 18 months before being discounted heavily and then sell below asking. My Boss almost lost a sale because the mortgage co didn’t agree with the price and knocked it back 7%, another guy had to pull out of a purchase because they did they same, but the seller wouldn’t budge, that was 6 months ago, it’s now for sale below the mortgage cos value, but not sold.
Personally, until at least 1st Nov, I’d be looking at something really safe and really inflation proof, Gold probably although I don’t pretend to know it’s current value or outlook. Trade war between US and China, stupid Brexit, plus even if that isn’t resolved we’re likely to have been in recession this quarter and last, the headlines alone will cause more than ripples.
