Default To buy or rent depends on whether you are an investor or a user. Makes sense to buy.

Incase you are an investor in the short term, think twice. Incase you wih to decide whether to stay in a rented place or an ownership, then I would recommend; buy. When you buy and put up money or go for a loan, it's investing. incase of loan, you also get tax benefits, bringing the cost of the flat lower. Far as rent, that's money down the drain. Long term, with inflation and scarcity, property prices will always rise.

Though it is always considered to be wise to invest in a property, however the current cost and the future cost of the property should also be taken into consideration.

To decide whether it makes more sense to buy or continue renting, consider this: it is often far cheaper to own a home than to rent one. It sounds almost counter-intuitive - spending a couple hundred thousand bucks on a house should make you broke, not help you save money!
