Renting vs buying depends on your time horizon, budget stability and total costs. Below is a clear comparison and practical decision framework.

Rent — pros and cons

Pros: no down payment, flexibility, lower entry costs. Cons: no equity building, rent growth risk, dependence on landlord.

Buy with a mortgage

Pros: equity building, stability, potential appreciation. Cons: down payment, long‑term debt, credit costs and maintenance.

How to compare rent vs buy

  • calculate total rent costs over time,
  • compare with instalment + entry costs,
  • include rate risk and maintenance,
  • consider your time horizon.

Short scenario

If you plan to live long‑term in one place and have a stable budget, buying can win despite higher entry costs. For shorter horizons, renting is often safer.
