Think best property investments are now found abroad in places like Croatia.
Seems the buy to let market in UK is no winner at the moment and I have heard that a lot of it is already on the market.
I believe that some of the SB's do a property index but haven't investigated this as a possible hedge.
Chump, u make an excellent point about the fact that our money is being deliberately channeled into property and equities. With interest rates so low there is of course a big incentive for investors to seek higher risk investments to improve returns as well as borrowing and spending rather than saving. These current bubbles are keeping our economy seemingly prosperous but I think this will lead to big problems in the longer term. As inflation can no longer be hidden and yields rise these bubbles will collapse. I think the problem is far, far worse in the US.
