Hi.

Im a home owner -( no mortgage ).. Im moving to Spain and id like to rent my house.. Is this a bad idea in the current housing market ? Would it be better to sell ?

Id like to rent if possible but id be concerned if i did tenents wouldn't leave if i wanted to return in a couple of years .

Im just concerned i could be walking into lot of trouble if i rented out my house in the housing crisis as it is ?..

Any info be appreciated.

Thanks.

You have to pay taxes (some people think that this is unfair). If you get a bad tenant, you could be without the rent for many months and then face a clean up bill after they leave.

Have you considered the extra cost of getting someone to look after the tenancy while you are in Spain ?

I think it really depends where it is and how you will manage it. I'm in the market for a rental in Waterford.

So, if by chance it's around that area please send me a PM?

You answered your own question.

Sell it, because the way things are going, you might not get the house back when you want it, anyway. Not without a battle.

Many threads like this in the Accommodation and Property forum.
