When it comes to property, people have very different views on the pros and cons of renting. With many people finding the market currently out of their budget, there’s been a significant increase in the number of people choosing to rent. If buying your own home is your long-term goal, then renting in the short term could offer you a whole range of opportunities to make that goal a reality. Below we’ve highlighted some of the key benefits of renting a property.
Flexibility
One of the most obvious benefits of renting is the flexibility you will have to move in and out of the property to suit your own circumstances. Renting allows you to move on in as little as three months if your circumstances change. If you’ve recently moved to an area, renting can be a great way for you to decide if you can see yourself settling into the place long term, and if not, you’ve nothing tying you down.
Costs are Covered
If you have any maintenance issues or problems with the fixtures in your property, the cost is absorbed by your landlord. This means the pressure is off when it comes to extra costs you may not have accounted for in your monthly budget. It also means it’s just a quick phone call to have the problem sorted, and often your landlord or estate agent will have a team of people available to fix common household issues.
Financial Flexibility
Whilst the cost of renting may feel high, the deposit required to secure a rental property is significantly cheaper than what is required if you’re buying. Renting gives you the financial flexibility of not having to find tens of thousands of pounds upfront before you buy, and it doesn’t tie you into a mortgage deal which can last for years.
