Comparison of renting versus buying
Owning Property - Key Advantages
Capital
Growth - When you buy a property, after you pay off
the mortgage, you own the property outright. The opportunity to
achieve a capital asset, is for many home owners, the single most important
factor behind their decision to buy their own property.
Assessing
Cost - In the long term buying a property will probably
cost less than renting one. However, another factor to take
into account is the costs associated with buying and reselling
a property.
Renting
- Key Advantages
Flexibility-
Most tenancies are six to twelve months in duration. At the
end of this period you can walk away without any further cost
or obligation.
Expenses
- Repairs and maintenance are usually the responsibility of
the landlord.
