Have cash to buy a property? Is this a good time to buy? Any tips for a first timer and what is best to buy a one or two room flat for example?
Does property generally rise in value ? Thanks

Property tends to be a great investment but you need to be prepared to hold it for 10 years plus.
Being a landlord is not really that fun so look into it deeply before you go rushing in. I wouldn't be a landlord again now.3 -
We can tell you in 5 or 10 years time if it WAS a good idea to buy now. But any other answer will be a guess|: A GUESS.4
