Wealth over time: buying vs. renting
Buy Rent

This is an indication, not financial advice. It assumes 4% mortgage interest, house prices and rent rising 3% a year, 1% maintenance, a renter earning 2% on savings, buyer’s costs of about 4,5% paid from your savings, and the Dutch mortgage interest deduction. First time buyers under 35 often pay no transfer tax. Buying builds more wealth than renting over time, though not always. A Domek adviser checks your real situation for free.
