Practical property advice
Moving abroad and letting your UK home
Ask your lender whether you need consent to let, check the policy with your insurer and arrange appropriate landlord cover. Plan an inventory, safety compliance, arrangements for UK correspondence, emergency repairs and an authorised local contact.
Practical steps to consider
- Step 1
Confirm lender consent and landlord insurance before marketing.
- Step 2
Review the HMRC Non-resident Landlord Scheme if your usual place of abode is outside the UK.
- Step 3
Set a spending authority and schedule for management statements.
