>>the market is no longer growing at 15% pa<<

I don't think this matters, because of the leverage effect of
mortgaging. So long as there is some growth in the area you're
investing in, property is still likely to outperform equities and most
other forms of investment (of a similar level of risk) I would think
that anyone who is serious about building a decent investment portfolio
would take some of the funds out of their pension pot and use it as a
deposit on some investment property. The question is, how many people
will really do this, and will it have a detrimental affect on equity
prices (and therefore pension performance) in the longer term?

Opinions welcome!
