Should I buy or rent a home in Montpellier?
If you have not spent a lot of time in Montpellier, you should rent before even thinking about buying. We asked expats there about the buy vs. rent decision...
"Whether to buy or rent a home in Montpellier is a personal decision that depends on many factors. As with any property purchase or rental agreement, it is important to consider the cost, location, size and condition of the property. Additionally, individuals should consider their own lifestyle and financial goals before making a decision. It could be that renting is a better option for those who may move frequently or would prefer to keep the cost of living down. On the other hand, buying may be a better option for those that plan to stay in Montpellier for a longer period or prefer to own their property. Ultimately, the decision should be based on each individual's circumstance," wrote a member who made the move to Montpellier, France, France.
