💨 Abstract

After relocating from South Africa, Bronwynn and Sebastian initially struggled to buy a home in the UK. Instead, they rented a four-bedroom house in Fontwell, West Sussex, for £1,700/month—a better financial option than buying. The pet-friendly, spacious home included amenities like smart features and a garden, while the landlord provided responsive support. Having extended their tenancy, they’re happily settled, valuing the flexibility and comfort of renting.
