The comparison counts only the costs of owning you never get back: interest, running costs and what the deposit and purchase costs could earn elsewhere. Loan repayments build equity, so they are left out. So is any rise in the home's value, because nobody knows it in advance. Rents here are the mean rent of leases signed in the year, from landlords' income tax returns (AEAT); prices are appraised values, not sale prices.
