Episode 3 of 5
Duration: 29 minutes
The Money Programme's Max Flint investigates the property market and asks if renting is the answer for people buffeted by its troubles. For a decade, millions of us have used the seemingly unstoppable rise in property prices to fund a consumer spending boom, but the credit crunch and global slump has put a stop to that.
Max Flint meets the people who are hanging on to the dream of home ownership and those who are convinced that long-term renting makes more financial sense. Also with exclusive research, it reveals if we would have been better off all along renting rather than buying.
