What to arrange before leaving the UK
Confirm whether your mortgage lender permits letting, review your landlord insurance, arrange keys and access, retain relevant compliance certificates, and establish who can authorise urgent repairs. Discuss the UK Non-resident Landlord Scheme with an appropriate tax adviser.
Full management can reduce the burden of organising repairs and responding to tenants across time zones, but the exact responsibilities remain those agreed in writing.
