EMI vs rent in Nepal: when does buying beat renting?

Run the numbers on a home loan against rent — and the break-even that actually matters.

The classic question: should you keep renting, or take a home loan and buy? In Nepal, the answer hinges on how long you'll stay, the loan rate, and expected appreciation.

The break-even logic

Buying carries upfront costs — down payment, registration, taxes — that take years to recover. If you'll move within a few years, renting usually wins. Stay long enough and appreciation plus principal repayment tip the balance toward owning.
