Why Property Could Be the Smarter Alternative to a Pension

Most people still rely on pensions to fund their retirement — but the numbers don’t lie. The average UK pension pot currently sits around £253,000, which sounds reasonable… until you realise that only gives you roughly £30,000 a year for 10 years. After that? You're relying on the state pension — or luck.

If you retire at 67 and live well into your 80s or 90s (which most of us now will), that pension simply won't go the distance.

Now let’s look at an alternative.

Investing in property — even just one or two well-chosen properties — can offer something a pension can’t:

✔ Monthly income that doesn’t run out
✔ Assets that rise with inflation
✔ Something tangible to pass on to your family

It’s not just for developers or landlords with 20 houses. I work with first-time investors, landlords looking to expand, and people who simply want more control over their financial future.

As a property sourcer, I find real investment opportunities — not the stuff you see on Rightmove every day. Thanks to my industry connections in estate agency and auctions, I get access to deals that never hit the open market.

Whether you're planning for retirement, looking to replace a poor-performing pension, or simply want to make your money work harder — I can help.
