Did YOU Know....

Should I rent or buy my home?

Rent or buying habits differ considerably between countries, with the UK having an especially high ratio of people buying, rather than renting. However, the housing recession which started in the early nineties and produced negative equity for thousands of buyers led to many more people renting their homes.

Without knowing your circumstances it is impossible to answer. Much will depend on what type of property you would like, the area you desire and your monthly budget.

You should perhaps also ask - do you one day want to own your own property?

You should approach a financial adviser or a mortgage adviser who will be able to advise you once your individual circumstances and needs are known.
