What is property?

This section will tell you about the basics of property, both what it is and about the different property sectors and markets in the UK and globally.

This section also covers the differences, from an investment perspective, between residential and commercial property and direct and indirect property investment. 

The value of property investments and any income from them, can go down as well as up as a result of market and exchange rate movements and you may not get back the amount you originally invested. Past performance is not necessarily a guide to future performance.
