As with all investments investing in property does have a certain degree of risk attached to it. However, different property investment classes have varying levels of risk and potential returns. It is important as an investor to define a clear set of investment objectives, and some of the questions you should ask yourself are:

- Which is most important to you - capital growth or annual income?
- Are you looking for a low risk/low return or high risk/high return investment?
- Are you a stylised investor (CEE only, UK only, Commercial only, Golf only etc.)
- How long do you want to commit to the investment?
- What is the purpose of the investment (savings, pension etc)?
- How much of your own money do you plan to use?

Once you have answered these questions you will be better placed to make an informed investment decision.

As explained in the section 'Why Property Investment' property itself is an investment diversifying asset that can help to lower the risk of a portfolio that consists only of bonds and equities.
