Property: The End of the Affair?

The Money Programme's Max Flint investigates the property market and asks if renting is the answer for people buffeted by its troubles.

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.
