Should I buy or rent a home in Brussels?
If you have not spent a lot of time in Brussels, you should rent before even thinking about buying. We asked expats there about the buy vs. rent decision...
"Buying a home in Brussels can be a great investment, as the city is known for its high quality of life and strong economy. However, it is important to consider the cost of living in Brussels, as well as the availability of housing, before making a decision. Renting a home in Brussels can be a great option for those who are not ready to commit to buying a home, as it allows for more flexibility and can be more affordable in the short term. Ultimately, the decision to buy or rent a home in Brussels should be based on individual needs and preferences," remarked another expat who made the move to Brussels, Belgium.
