Benefits of renting a home on the Upper Highway

Owning a property is a dream for many. However, not everyone is the same. Perhaps you have dreams of living in another city, or you are not ready to make this financial commitment. However, you too can live in your dream home by renting a property in one of the Upper Highway's sought after suburbs. 

Maybe you enjoy the vibe of Kloof, or you value the tranquillity found in Drummond. Perhaps you want to live and work in Hillcrest to minimise your travel time. Whatever your location may be, it is possible to have your temporary home on the Upper Highway. Renting a home does not necessarily mean that you are paying off your landlord's bills. You also have the benefits of renting a home on the Upper Highway.

You can live where you want to

The Upper Highway has a variety of modern and contemporary homes. They offer you an upmarket lifestyle at a price tag you can afford. Renting a home allows you the possibility of living where you want to. You may not be able to buy a home in an elite area like Hillcrest at this point in your life. But you can rent a beautiful apartment in a secure estate.

Buying a home comes with many hidden costs. Renting allows you to pay lesser than you would if you were a homeowner. This will help you save for a deposit for the future or you can invest and pay for other expenses.

You are more flexible

Renting does not tie you down to a long-term commitment, such as a twenty-year bond. Depending on the agreement with your landlord, you may move out before the lease comes to an end. If you are offered a better job in Cato Ridge, for instance, it will be easier for you to move closer to the area. 

Furthermore, if you plan to change careers in the future or you get a promotion that requires you to be back in the city there is no hassle of selling your home.

These days, young adults choose to cohabitate first before getting married. A rental is a great way to determine if your relationship will go further. A rental will also help you save money if you and a friend share the rent and utilities.

You don't have to stress about maintenance costs 

One way that you can save your money by renting is the benefit of not having to cough up for maintenance costs. Sure, you do have to ensure that your grass is kept short and basic maintenance is in order. However, if the geyser burst or there is a leak in the roof, the owner is liable financially for fixing these issues. 

Insurance for the property is paid for by the owner. Whereas you only need insurance to cover your own contents. The owner is also responsible for any improvements done to the house.

You have access to amenities

Renting lets you have access to amenities that would otherwise be an added expense to your budget. For instance, tenants can make use of the pool and braai area when renting this Hillcrest apartment.
