Homeowners who are looking to leave the UK and live abroad have been advised to rent out their house through a letting agent.

According to international lifestyle resource Shelter Offshore, using a letting agent can have numerous benefits.

These include the fact that if the move abroad does not work out, it will be easier and less expensive to come back to the UK.

With house prices remaining low, renting out a house rather than attempting to sell it can be a good idea while the property market recovers.

“They do charge a fee, but for that fee they should find you tenants, manage your home, collect your rent and support you,” commented Shelter Offshore.
