23rd July 2015 - 9 Reasons to Rent Rather than Buy

Outlay

Buying property in the UK can be an expensive endeavour. House prices in the North East of Scotland, Edinburgh, Glasgow, and major English cities are generally high, though those in the North East of Scotland are not thought to be rising as quickly as they previously were due to the current oil price issues. For many, buying a house will be the biggest financial outlay they ever make during the course of their lives. Most will require a mortgage and will need a deposit before they can apply. Even though you will almost certain need to produce a deposit for a leased or rented property, it is unlikely to be anything like as much as the deposit you will need to buy.

Standard & Size of Property

When you buy a property, you will be limited to the style, size and location that you can afford. Renting may well mean that you can afford something with amenities you could only dream of if you buy - for example, the house may come with its own large, and tended, garden, or, in some cases, it may even have a pool. In other words, your disposable income may bring you better value for money when you lease rather than buy a house or apartment.

Tied Down

Becoming the owner of a property, however big or small, ultimately means that you become more tied to one place. When you're renting, or leasing, you can give notice and move if you find the area doesn't suit you, the house or apartment isn't as good a 'fit' for you as you'd thought it would be, transport links turn out to be poorer than anticipated, or you're next door to someone you'd really rather not be. When you own the property, there are bigger time constraints to moving, and certainly financial constraints to moving early with a property to sell, a new one to find, and all the legal costs that accompany both.

Responsibility

Once you become the proud owner of your own home, you also become the not-so-proud-owner of any maintenance costs and tasks associated with the property. When you move in, everything is likely to work perfectly, but when the boiler breaks down in the middle of November, it will be you calling the plumber and waiting until he/she can get to you and then footing the bill for the associated costs. As a tenant, your landlord will have the worry of the costs and may have preferential arrangements with trusted tradesmen who can prioritise the repair.

Mobility

Many professionals are required to be mobile, available to move to a new location with a change of position within the company. Similarly, many professionals change their job or role reasonably frequently in their careers as they progress up the career ladder. Often this will mean relocating to a new city, or even a new country. As mentioned above in Tied Down, it's generally far simpler and quicker to 'up-sticks' and move when you're renting than it is if you have a house or apartment to sell, and potentially far less costly.

Freedom to 'Get Away from it All'

Some will be able to afford to, and will want to, take a career break and see more of the world. Again, if you're in a leased property, it's so much easier to do this than it is if you own your own home, though it is certainly possible to opt to rent out your own home as a way of getting round this restriction if you're likely to return to the same place once your 'itchy feet' have passed.

Getting on the Property Ladder

The price of property in the UK, particularly in expensive locations like Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Glasgow, and large English cities, is quite simply out of reach for some. Renting, or leasing property, can be an option - at least whilst saving for a deposit.

Eligibility

Actually getting a mortgage is nowhere near as easy as it was with the introduction of more stringent testing to ensure that future mortgage holders will be able to pay back what they have borrowed.

Safety in Numbers

Many, particularly younger, people choose the option of sharing an apartment or a house. They benefit from the shared rent and utility bills and it's more sociable than living alone. Whilst it is possible to buy a house or apartment with a friend, or indeed several friends, it's nowhere near as easy to organise as renting or leasing a property together is, and it can be fraught with difficulties if there is a 'falling out' or one of the parties needs to suddenly move.

As you can see, leasing or renting a property certainly does have its own appeal. If you're considering leasing a house, take a look at 10 Pinecrest Circle in Bieldside, Aberdeen. A beautiful property in a well-sought-after location within the Cults Primary & Cults Academy catchment areas, it is set at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac with a fully enclosed garden and forest views. This beautiful family home is decorated in neutral tones with high quality modern furniture, and benefits from gas central heating and double glazing, integrated double garage with electric door and security alarm system.
