I ha...I've always wanted to buy but never have. I have always rented off the city council which means more security. I was in my last house for 24 years! In our new house I couldn't have done better by buying, it's worth a lot more than I could ever afford. The rent is high but it's still cheaper than a mortgage and if anything goes wrong with the house then the council will fix it. (we've had a few issues with plumbing since moving in.) I know with a bought house you have an investment to pass on to your kids, but my mum rented her home too and it ended up in a big family split over her belongings, I think adding the sale of a house would have made things a lot worse. I've also heard this is a regular happening once someone dies. :( Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14922568143111623696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-712870248060979389.post-88450011126129194872017-04-28T21:06:19.182+01:002017-04-28T21:06:19.182+01:00I'd love to be able to buy one day - I'm l...I'd love to be able to buy one day - I'm lucky that my landlord is amazing though!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06309815229103285726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-712870248060979389.post-55005361133423259762017-04-28T21:06:03.076+01:002017-04-28T21:06:03.076+01:00We are lucky enough to own our own home with a big...We are lucky enough to own our own home with a big mortgage but not as big as some. I think it is better to own your own house if you can as it is more secure however, with mortgages rising and getting harder to get, I can understand why so many people rent.
