Garage / Parking space / Garage owned or rented? A mini-guide

When it comes to real estate, Italians have a long history of affection for the home. The house is seen not only as a place to live but also as an investment. However, when it comes to garages, parking spaces or garages, the choices can be complex. How to decide whether to own your own garage or prefer to rent? In this article, we will explore the benefits of each option, in light of real estate considerations.

Owning your own garage
1. Security and Stability: Buying a garage represents a safe and stable choice, especially if it is your first. Italians often invest in a garage as soon as they have initial capital, thus guaranteeing a security base for the future.
2. Capital appreciation: A self-owned garage can be a good long-term investment. Over the years, its value tends to increase. An average increase of 35% from 1998 to today demonstrates the potential for capital appreciation.
3. Market Opportunity: After years of price reductions, today it is possible to find garages at affordable prices. Furthermore, the advantageous interest rates make purchasing a garage even more attractive.
4. Customization: Owning a garage gives you control over how you use it. You can adapt it to your needs, personalizing it according to your preferences and needs.
5. Inheritance for Children: More and more buyers see their garage as a legacy to their children, ensuring a future inheritance.

Rent a Garage
1. Free Liquidity: Renting a garage allows you to avoid tying up considerable capital. The funds you save can be used in other investments or activities.
2. Flexibility: Renting offers greater mobility. You can change cities, neighborhoods or garages more easily, following your evolving needs.
3. Predictable Expenses: With rent, monthly expenses are clear and predictable, reducing the risk of unexpected extraordinary maintenance costs. This is especially important in the case of shared garages.
4. Access to Premium Garages: Renting allows you to live in garages that you otherwise couldn't afford to buy, either because you don't have the necessary start-up capital or because you wouldn't get a sufficient mortgage.
5. Savings on Purchase Expenses: You don't have to worry about purchase-related expenses, such as purchase taxes, real estate agency commissions and notary fees, which often burden real estate buyers.

The "Rent To Buy" Option
A further alternative to consider is the "Rent To Buy" option. This formula allows you to rent a garage with the option to purchase in the future. It's a solution that offers the flexibility of renting along with the prospect of becoming an owner later. It is an option worth considering for those who want to test the garage before committing to purchase or who are not yet ready for a long-term financial commitment. This option can represent an ideal compromise for those who are undecided between renting and owning. However, it is important to carefully evaluate the terms and conditions of the "Rent To Buy" contract before making a final decision.

In conclusion
The choice between owning your own garage, renting it or opting for the "Rent To Buy" option depends on your needs and financial goals. Each of these options has significant advantages. If you are looking for long-term stability and want to make a solid investment, purchasing your own garage may be the ideal choice. On the other hand, if you prefer flexibility and the availability of liquidity, renting a garage could suit your needs. In the case of "Rent To Buy," you can enjoy the combination of both of these options, renting the garage with the prospect of purchasing it in the future. The final decision should be carefully based on your personal circumstances and long-term goals.
