I remember an arguement a few years back which stated the reverse, ie renting was financially better than buying. It took into account raising a similar sum of money as would be needed for a deposit for a purchase but investing it into shares in FTSE 100 companies.
One good reason for buying rather than renting is revealed by the number of posts elsewhere on the forum of renter / landlord problems.
