There seems to be an enormous amount of pressure on us all to own our properties.  Well, it can be a good investment (if we are lucky with the interest rates and we can afford to pay an astronomical deposit), but is it really such a big deal?  After all, who are you actually going to impress when you proudly declare, ‘By the way, I’m buying my own flat’?

The truth is that a property is a very expense thing to maintain.  Few homes will go for very long before they require a certain amount of work and this is when you could begin wishing that you had a landlord to foot the bill!  Many homeowners will say that paying rent for a property is simply ‘dead money’, but that depends on how you look at it…

These same homeowners have probably never had an expensive repair job to contend with… as yet.  If they had, then they would be fully aware of the big financial merits attached to renting!  Leaky roofs, burst water pipes and faulty boilers are all common problems in properties and they are normally costly jobs to have put right. Most homeowners will be unable to carry out this type of repair work by themselves, so it will mean having to pay for expert services… and that is when it starts getting expensive!

This is why a growing number of people are renting flats in Leeds and other major cities.  Not only will these tenants have no worries about paying for routine repairs, but they will also be much closer to the office!  If anything ever does go wrong, then you will simply have to notify your letting agency.  There will be no workmen to contact and you won’t be sat around waiting for a big scary repair bill to drop through the letterbox.  In fact, the most expensive item that you will ever need to replace will be the occasional light bulb!
