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.
