    Personally I wouldn't put £50K into a property during the current climate. I'd sooner invest it in shares and, if I wanted to buy a property, shop around at a later date. Alternatively, if you wanted something safer, just a high interest savings a/c.

    If you need a guarateed and steady income then high-interest savings is the only place to put it.
