Property vs Shares vs Commodities - which is the big winner? Have your say

Property Secrets CEO Neil Lewis' latest Lewis Report has sparked quite a debate on our forum on what makes the strongest, safest investment right now. On one side we have Neil, pro property of course, GeorgeH, an asset manager, disagrees with the thrust of the article, dan w, a forum regular and PS client, likes the idea of commodities, especially in an "inflationary world" and TomF, another forum regular, talks about all investment types getting their turn over time.

As a Property Secrets member I'm pretty sure you view property investment as a 'good thing' - but where do you stand on other investment types? Join in this interesting debate yourself and let us know.

Property Sourcing

We're having great success with our property sourcing service. Just this week we sold out on a deal in South East England. Such was the demand from our retained clients for these properties that it didn't even make the Property Finder Bulletin. Remember, you'll see good properties in the Bulletin - but the best go to our clients.

Give Martin Grainger a call on +44 (0)1270 539576 to discuss how you can 'go to the head of the line' as it were! If you're not yet on the Property Finder Bulletin mailing list then sign up now for free. Just put your name and email address in the big, blue Property Finder Bulletin box and hit submit.

Until next week...

Cheers

The idea of Croatia joining the European Union has changed from a probable prospect to one with a high degree of certainty in recent months. This raises the inevitable question for property investors - does this mean that now is an advantageous time to invest in Croatian property?
