Here's a quote from another thread in this forum, which was not related to property;

It's weird how many people readily "invest" in property, when in reality they have little real knowledge of the forces of the property market. Simply purchasing property in the hope it will do what it has done in the last few years.
In fact, it is difficult to describe many property investors as "investors", but more accurately as "speculators".
