Should I buy or rent a home in All Saints?

If you have not spent a lot of time in All Saints, you should rent before even thinking about buying. We asked expats there about the buy vs. rent decision...

"The decision to buy or rent a home in All Saints, largely depends on your personal circumstances, financial situation, and long-term plans. If you're planning to stay in All Saints for a long period, buying a home could be a good investment. Owning a property allows you to build equity over time. It also gives you the freedom to customize your living space to your liking. Moreover, Antigua & Barbuda is known for its stable real estate market, which could potentially offer good returns in the future. On the other hand, renting might be a better option if you're not planning to stay in All Saints for a long time. Renting offers more flexibility, as you can easily move without the hassle of selling a property. It also doesn't require a large upfront investment like buying a home does. Plus, as a renter, you're not responsible for maintenance and repair costs, which can add up over time. It's also worth considering the cost of living in All Saints. While it's generally lower than in many other Caribbean islands, it's still higher than in many parts of the world. Therefore, your income and savings should be sufficient to cover either your mortgage or rent, along with other living expenses. In conclusion, both buying and renting have their pros and cons. It's important to carefully consider your financial situation, lifestyle, and future plans before making a decision. Consulting with a local real estate agent or financial advisor could also be beneficial," commented one expat who made the move to All Saints, Antigua & Barbuda.
