TPP182: Is property really better than a pension?

It's no surprise that we're big believers in the long-term power of property...but we were surprised when the Bank of England's Chief Economist said he'd back property over a pension too. So in this week's episode we ask if property is really better than a pension. We cover: What the BoE's Andy Haldane said Whether property really has outperformed equities over the last 30 years The advantages of property as a long-term asset The advantages of pensions over property Why property isn't the right retirement choice for everyone Why you definitely shouldn't be relying on your main residence to fund your retirement ...and a bit of a rant about the disaster of pension provision (also listen to our pension crisis episode) It's far from being a whitewash – so take a listen, and see what you think.
