    Hello

    I would appreciate some advice.

    Husband and I are relocating abroad permanently.

    PPOR bought 4 years ago has equity, the majority of which we invested at purchase.

    We are loathe to sell in current market, we would basically cover ourselves.

    We are considering refinancing, IO and letting the property out for the long term in the hope that the property would increase in value over eg a 10 year period.

    The rent would not cover all our costs.

    Should we sell up and cut our losses?

    Or should we let the property sit for the long term, sure of a return?

    Thanking you

    Shania

    Hi Shania

    Welcome aboard.

    Sounds like you've answered your own question.

    If you think the property will go up in value and isn't costing you anything to hold onto – then I'd be inclined to hold onto it.

    Cheers

    Jamie

    Consider the tax consequences also. You would probably become a non resident for tax purposes.
