Buying a home is cheaper than renting but you need a £27k deposit | Mail Online

First-time buyers would be better off purchasing a house than renting, but only if they can afford the hefty deposit needed.

The Halifax Buying vs Renting Review, which has tracked a typical two bedroom flat for a first-time buyer across the UK over the last three years, found that the cost of buying a home for a first-time buyer is more than £100 a month cheaper than renting.

However, it all depends on whether the first-time buyer can get together a deposit, which at average of 20 per cent for first-time buyers racks up to £27,127.
