Buy or rent

Hello everyone. I'm after some advice/guidance on buying and renting.
My partner and I both currently live with our parents. I'm a first time buyer, he is not.
I have no kids, he has 4. I do not plan on having any children so as far as buying goes, I have no one to leave any property to.
My question is, in this situation, would buying be a wise choice for us? Whilst I do not begrudge his children anything, a property in joint names would ultimately be left to them after we both passed so are we better off renting and he sort out the inheritance for his children separately?
Thank you for any help.

if ever a thread indicates a future shit show on the horizon… financially, emotionally, practically and sadly for the 4 children - it’s this one

Your situation does sound a trifle unusual @Joneedsadvice not to mention his.

You don't have to purchase in joint names...
