Should I buy or rent a home in Brunei?
If you have not spent a lot of time in Brunei, you should rent before even thinking about buying. We asked expats there about the buy vs. rent decision...
"Buying a home in Brunei can be a great investment, as the country has a stable economy and a low cost of living. However, it is important to consider the cost of purchasing a home in Brunei, as well as the cost of upkeep and maintenance. Renting a home in Brunei can be a more cost-effective option, as it allows you to enjoy the benefits of living in Brunei without the long-term commitment of buying a home. Additionally, renting a home in Brunei can provide you with more flexibility, as you can move to a different location if your circumstances change. Ultimately, the decision to buy or rent a home in Brunei should be based on your individual needs and financial situation," remarked another expat who made the move to Brunei.
