Buying a house is a big emotional commitment, not just a financial hurdle to overcome.

Many people today cherish the dream of owning a house, whether just for themselves or for their family. It really makes a big difference when you are living in a house that you truly own, rather than just shacking up in a place that you cannot call your own.

Certainly, buying a house has not always been easy because of its complex procedures, especially in terms of the financial considerations, so it is natural that some people have reservations about doing it.

But actually, buying a house is better than renting it, because you are making real progress towards owning an asset. And, when you are living in your own house, you have a much higher degree of security and permanence. You can do whatever you want inside your house without worrying about the rules imposed by the landlord of the property you are in. When you’re in your own house, you can set your own house rules.

Also, you can fix your financial outgoings with a degree of confidence via your mortgage payments, but rental bills may shoot up every year or two. It is quite normal for renting payments to have a price hike each time they’re reviewed, and you can’t do anything top stop it.

Owning a house is an investment. Your rented property cannot be an investment because you won’t ever own it. If you decided to move to another place, you can make use of your own house by selling it, or releasing capital from its value. You cannot do that when you are just renting . There is also a taxation benefit involved. When you decide to sell your own house, the profit is all yours without subject to capital gains tax, which means that home ownership can always out perform savings in the bank.

At My Dream Pad I offer an alternative way of buying a home, especially useful if you are still saving towards a deposit or maybe have some credit problems from a while ago that are still working their way out of the system.

You can rent-to-own my houses and flats, putting down as much “get started” money as you can comfortably afford, adding to that pot of money every month (as part of your monthly rent also goes towards buying the property), and then buy me out when you’re ready to apply for a mortgage.

With just a few clicks you can start the home buying process by filling in this short form. From there, I’ll call you straight back to get things rolling. By this time next week you could be in your own home, already making payments towards the time when you’ll take full ownership. How would that make you feel?

It’s done just the same as a car lease. You’ll pay for the property every month and eventually own the house at a time of your choosing. You can also build up your equity share at the same time, by investing in home improvements that you’ll benefit from because the purchase price is fixed at the start.

Most of all, you’ll be the king or queen of your own castle in a way that renting can never offer!
