Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I decide between renting and buying?
Key factors: price-to-rent ratio (below 20 = buy, above 25 = rent), your expected stay (below 5 years = rent), financial stability, career mobility and life stage. Our calculator gives you the 10-year financial comparison based on your specific numbers.
What is the price-to-rent ratio?
Price-to-rent ratio = Property Price ÷ Annual Rent. A ratio below 20 generally favours buying. Between 20–25, either option can work. Above 25 typically favours renting. Mumbai has ratios above 35–40, making renting financially sensible in most cases.
What is the break-even point in rent vs buy?
Break-even is the number of years after which buying becomes cheaper than renting. It depends on property price, EMI, rent and appreciation. In most Indian cities, the break-even is typically 4–8 years. If you plan to stay longer, buying usually wins financially.
Is buying always better long-term?
Not necessarily. In cities with very high price-to-rent ratios like Mumbai, renting and investing the difference can sometimes outperform buying. The outcome depends heavily on actual property appreciation versus investment returns.
What about emotional benefits of owning?
Beyond finances, owning a home provides stability, freedom to customise, no eviction risk and a sense of security. These emotional benefits are real and valid. The decision is not purely financial — lifestyle and life stage matter equally.
