Should I buy or rent a home in Saint Lucia?
If you have not spent a lot of time in Saint Lucia, you should rent before even thinking about buying. We asked expats there about the buy vs. rent decision...
"Buying a home in Saint Lucia can be a great investment, as the country is known for its beautiful scenery and vibrant culture. However, it is important to consider the cost of living in Saint Lucia before making a decision. Renting a home in Saint Lucia can be a great option for those who are not ready to commit to a long-term purchase, as it allows for more flexibility and can be more cost-effective. Ultimately, the decision to buy or rent a home in Saint Lucia should be based on individual needs and preferences," commented one expat who made the move to Saint Lucia.
