A nice little earner when you're 64

Article Abstract:

It is becoming increasingly common in the UK for people to purchase property as a means of providing a retirement income. Those considering investing in property should choose property located close to public transport and with good local facilities. Small units are the best purchase, as they give a higher yield and can be let to single professional people, thus ensuring that they remain in good repair. Attractive investment opportunities can be found outside London, England.
