Michelle, you can only offset against tax the 10% for wear and tear if your property is furnished. No tax incentive that I am aware of, although if you do not already do a tax return you will if you start letting your property.

Not sure exactly how it works, but if the exchange rate gets much worse I might consider continuing to let my house as it is now rather than selling it and buying in Oz.
