    We bought our apartment 10 years ago, if we were to sell today we’d be lucky to get what we paid for it. That’s because we’ve just had a repair bill come in for about the same amount.

    Still prefer owning to renting though.

      That’s significantly better than what you’d have got out of renting, i.e. nothing.

      So worst-case buying is far better than best-case renting.
