Should I buy or rent a home in Wellington?
If you have not spent a lot of time in Wellington, you should rent before even thinking about buying. We asked expats there about the buy vs. rent decision...
"Whether you should buy or rent a home in Wellington depends on a number of factors. Buying a home typically involves a large financial commitment and can be a good option if you're looking to stay in Wellington long-term and have the means to finance your purchase. However, renting a home in Wellington can offer more flexibility and often requires a shorter-term financial commitment. Ultimately, it's important to consider your individual circumstances before deciding whether buying or renting is the right option for you," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Wellington, New Zealand.
