Buy or Rent?

Without a doubt, choosing between buying or renting a home is one of the most difficult and important financial decisions you can make. Depending on which way you go, it will affect your finances in different ways.

 

In order to decide if renting is better than buying, or vice versa, it is necessary to evaluate our own circumstances, those of the market at that moment, and clearly understand the advantages and disadvantages of both.

 

Advantages of Renting

 

- You hardly need any savings to get started.

- The paperwork and steps to be taken are minimal.

- In case of a mistake, it is easier to make amends.

- You can have access to areas where you could not buy.

- It provides tax benefits to both the tenant and the owner, according to certain conditions.

- With the rent you have less expenses, since the taxes associated with the housing are assumed by the owner, unless different conditions are agreed upon in the contract.

 

Advantages of Buying

 

- The property is available for the purpose you want.

- It allows you to decorate and remodel it as you wish.

- In the long term it is usually revalued.

- It serves as a measure of future savings.

- Once paid, you no longer have a fixed monthly cost.

- Depending on the bank interest rate, it can be cheaper to live in your own property than renting.
