Is buy versus rent still a sensible debate in 2026?

Something I have been looking into and wanted some input on.

Real numbers from actual people are more useful than any comparison page.

I am asking here because I trust people who have actually done it over people who are guessing.

Any thoughts welcome.

Fair point, I would not argue against it. Cannot wait for the game to settle it.

Yeah that is about right. Cheers for sharing.

The difference between the best and average savings rate adds up significantly over a year.

[SGHolly]

I did not know that, good to know. That helps a lot actually.

Makes sense to me. Appreciate the discussion.

[StoneCold]

Good luck with it.

A cashback card you pay off every month is one of the easiest wins.

That is my view too if I am being straight. Interested to see where this goes.

[SGHolly]

Yeah I can see that now. That is actually one of the clearer ways I have seen it explained.

I will dig into that further.

Not sure that is universally true. Good shout.

The ISA allowance is the easiest tax-efficient move most people ignore.

[Bussin]

I had been looking at it the wrong way I think. Good to know, thanks.

[Skibidi98]

Okay that makes more sense than what I had in my head. I am still getting my head around some of this but that part at least makes sense to me.
