gary12 will become famous soon enough
We are planning to rent out our house for the first 12 months of our stay in Oz. We live in a small Warwickshire village where houses are snapped up, usually !! 8 months ago a house in our road sold within 2 weeks, now another has been on the market for over 6 months and dropped the price with nothing. None of the houses in our village are shifting at the moment yet a few have gone up for rent and they are gone in days. It's a chance you take, do you leave it empty and hope it sells or risk getting a tennant that makes a mess? For us we are going to risk it and hope that we get some civilized people who will treat our home with respect. Fingers crossed!

We are also fortunate that a friend has suggested a very good agent.

Someone may correct me and please do however I understand that you can claim a percentage (10) I think against wear and tear and also some sort of tax incentive,


best wishes Michelle
