Buying vs renting isn’t just about monthly costs — it’s a long-term wealth game.
Buy a £275k home with 10% down at 5.25% over 30 years:
You’ll pay £492k in total, with £244k going purely to interest.

That’s £174k more than owning over the same period.
And you miss out on every bit of property appreciation.
Long-term, ownership builds your net worth.
Renting builds your landlord’s.
Which side of the equation do you want to be on?
