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.
