Hi Stu,

I agree with Gail.crease, use a really good letting agency it will cost you around 15% of the rent but at least you will have peace of mind that your property is being looked after. I used to manage a letting agency in Essex and every six months we checked that the property and furnishings were being kept in good order and also collected rent etc (full management package).

I personally wouldn't rent a property we are selling up but if you want to 'TRY BEFORE YOU BUY' as they say then renting your property out is probably the right thing to do.

Good Luck
Julie
