There is always a case built for buying property rather than renting one. Numerous advertisements across platforms propagate the idea. But, what is the basic theme behind promoting people to buy rather than rent properties?
There are two essentials involved here. Firstly, owning over renting property the inherent desire of every individual? Ask any person living in a rented apartment and their answer would be that one day they wish to own a house. Then, is the logic of an EMI equivalent to rent? How do these two work together? And, do they then lead to the conclusion that buying is a better option than renting? Let us try and figure it out.
Consider, Noida, Noida extension and Greater Noida as our sample and begin our evaluation from there. There is no limit to the number of properties, apartments and flats in Noida on sale. The advertisements can be seen on billboards, newspapers or heard on the radio and choose from a variety of 2-3-4 BHK flats in Greater Noida, Noida and Noida Extension, according to their budget and expectations.
Though, the question here lies, is there really a huge financial implication as far as owning and renting go? Let us try to decode this puzzle. If an apartment is taken on rent, then every month the tenant is expected to pay a certain amount. This rent is not static too. As per the market rates and the current property trends, the owner of the house revises the rent annually. Thus, at every point the tenant is paying the amount that a similar new property in the market would command. Compare this to buying a house. Almost 99% of the houses are purchased on loan. In such a case about 5% of the cost of the property is required to be put down as down payment. The bank finances rest of the 95%. This amount that is financed by the bank is returned in the form of monthly EMIs. Today, EMIs need to be paid to banks only after the possession of property thus, eliminating a situation where two large sums need to be paid every month. Owning a property has never been so easy and convenient before.
