So you’ve found the house of your dreams in Huddersfield. It’s on the right side of town, near a good school, parks are close by and your commute to work has been cut. Perfect. You know roughly when you’ll be moving and you’ve already started thinking about colour schemes and furniture.

To buy, or to rent, that is the question
Whether you’re going to rent, or if you’re planning to buy, your next move in Huddersfield is a personal choice. There are pros and cons for both, and some thinking will need to be done before making a decision.
But first, let’s look at a couple of statistics.
According to the government, just over 60 per cent of households in England owned their own homes (in the two years from 2016 to 2018). It has also been estimated that more than a quarter of people will rent their home by the end of 2021.
While many people want to own their own home in Huddersfield, for others renting is the best option for them.
It’s not just younger people who are renting either. A large proportion of renters are those who cannot yet find enough money for a deposit to get on the first rung of the property ladder, but there is also a growing number of older people who are renting as they downsize or move to be near family.
But what are the pros and cons of renting or buying?
What should you consider?
Here, we look at some of the things you should be thinking about.

So you’ve sat down and worked out you want to move, and you may even have found your ideal location in the Huddersfield area, perhaps even seen your dream pad. Four beds? Nice garden? Garage? Room to grow your plants or even grow your family? Brilliant.
