<prompt> Human: Im a UK resident in my early twenties and soon enough Ill have a fair chunk of cash that can either sit in my bank for 6-10 years or I could use it to purchase some property.Ordinarily I wouldnt really consider buying a house at this stage in my life I would never have been able to afford it to start with, but Im wondering if this might be a good financial option given the state of the UK property market, and also compared to leaving it sitting in a bank account for a long time or risking it in some other investment opportunity that I dont fully understand.Ill be moving house within the next 6-12 months anyway, which is partly what prompted me considering purchasing over renting for when that time comes.Im pretty naive about this sort of thing and would really appreciate any advice.Maybe I dont need to worry about what I do with it at all?  <response>: Investing in either stock or bond funds is much better than buying in your position.
