Is it better to keep money in an investment savings account or invest in bricks and mortar?
What goes around, comes around, and the housing market is overdue a correction. In general it is about 35% over trend. Now is not the moment to invest in property unless you have no option and are going to stay there for about ten years. Getting involved in buy-to-let at this stage in the cycle is completely bonkers!!! In the short term a good on-line account such as the Yorkshire Building Society would be fine if you are unsure where the markets are heading, but for the long term, fill up your ISA with UK Equity Income unit trusts from reliable firms such as Invesco Perpetual, Artemis, or Standard Life. Take care!
