The most expensive plant in the UK to rent rather than pay a mortgage has been revealed to be Glasgow.
It is cheaper to pay a monthly mortgage as a first-time buyer than to rent in half of cities for those who are able to save a 10 percent deposit, according to Rightmove research.
Nowhere is this more apparent in the UK than Scotland's biggest city where renters spend £215 more on rent - spending £2,580 more a year than homeowners. Rightmove says first-time buyers in Glasgow make the biggest savings by getting on the ladder than anywhere else in the country.
