          Given the figures are in pound sterling, quite often in the UK the mortgage payments are signficiantly lower than renting, 100% makes sense when in the context of the British housing market.

          Mortgage payments are almost universally lower than rent payments. With rent, you’re paying for upkeep, maintenance, administration, a profit margin and the landlord’s mortgage.

          I bought my first apartment because it was like €500 per month cheaper than renting a similar place. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
