Renting Property

Renting before you become a First Time Buyer

The chances are that if you are reading this page you are an aspiring first time buyer keen to make the most of renting in the run-up to owning your first home. But renting can be very expensive, making it seemingly impossible to save enough for home-purchasing costs let alone a deposit.

In our property rental guides below we cover various aspects of renting but also of how you can invest in property whilst you are renting, how to save costs to enable you to save for your first home and some other options such as part buy part rent.

If you are renting a place on your own it could be that a mortgage would work out cheaper than the amount you are paying in rent - you should seek mortgage advice to find out just how the two compare. There are ways of making it more affordable than you think - see our best first mortgages comparison table where we explain all the different types of mortgages available to first time buyers.  If you are living with friends you might find that by clubbing together you could afford a place to share. See our guide to joint ownership.

Find out more about renting and how it can work for you in our 'Getting the Most out of Renting' Guide:
