The neverending question: renting or buying? People have discussed it for centuries, but today we would like to show you the benefits of leasing and the benefits of buying.

Renting:
1. Short-term tenancies can last three to six months, and you can leave after that if it doesn't work out.

2. You won't have to worry about maintenance costs, which means you won't be held liable for things like a broken pipe.

3. Getting on the rental ladder is easier, faster, and less expensive than buying a home.

4. You don't have to pay a mortgage or legal fees.

Buying:
1. In the long term, you will have the security of a home without the risk of being evicted by a landlord.

2. You are investing rather than spending – rather than paying rent that goes towards your landlord's mortgage, and your monthly payments will go towards something you own.

3. You have control over organizing repairs, which may be completed faster than if you were renting.

4. While you should think of home as a place where you live and actually can be a good investment. You can rent it out while you're out of town.
