What are the advantages?
The huge variety of rental property now available offers a wide choice to those who, for their own reasons, choose to lease their home rather than buy it. And there are many reasons.
Some people simply don’t want the hassle of home ownership;
some may be waiting to pounce on their ideal property.
Some are unable to put down roots because of their work,
others, may not be able to afford to buy.
Then there are those who don’t want to live where they work, so they rent close to the office and buy elsewhere.
Renting now appeals to all age groups and all economic classes. It is not just young people who can’t afford a starter home who decide to rent; career people who want to take advantage of lucrative opportunities do it as do those approaching retirement and even the retired. Among the great advantages of renting are the flexibility it offers and the speed with which a lease can be set up. It only takes a few days. Once references are taken up and confirmed, your checks for rent and deposit are cleared, inventories taken and utility accounts are set up, you’re in.
Most leases are for a minimum of 12 months. The benefit of the flexibility that renting offers is increased by the vast choice now available in the private rental sector. Depending on your income, anything’s available, from a tiny bedsit to a city penthouse, from a mobile home to a country mansion.
