Property or stocks, which is the better investment in 2026?
Adam Lawrence owns 850 properties. Wes Wilkes is an experienced investment manager. We sat them down together to debate where your money works harder, which asset class carries more risk, and what they'd both do with just £20k if they lost everything tomorrow.
We get into stock market volatility, property investing psychology, AI as an investment bubble, the biggest risks in the UK property market right now, and the misconceptions that trip up investors in both buy to let and stocks and shares.
