YourPropertyClub - a property consultancy specialising in bulk discounts on new-builds - has conducted some research into people's attitudes to pension plans. Clearly YourPropertyClub has a vested interest here, being, as it is, in the business of selling investment property. The results are still interesting. Three-quarters of the 2,500 surveyed believe property a better investment than a pension scheme. More than half have concerns that a pension scheme will collapse, burying their money in the rubble. Twenty per cent have invested in property with a view to seeing themselves through their retirement, and 30% are planning to do so in the future.
