Should you buy a house or stay on rent? May 04, 2007 We all need a home to live in. At present, the cost of living in a metropolitan city is rather high. Also, property prices and home loan rates are moving up sharply. If an individual stays in a rented house, he could be paying a substantial amount as rent, depending on the location and the area of the property. On the other hand, if he buys a house by taking a loan from a housing finance company, at the end of the stipulated period, he may find that the total repayments on the loan far exceed the actual value of the house. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
