Since moving back to the UK we have regularly been asked if we would rent out the apartment. This was not an option until recently as we had left it for over 4 years (Brexit, Covid, Laziness), but we have now decorated it and returned it to a more ‘normal state’ ie not dominated by pets!!
So we will be renting it out to friends and friends of friends who accept that it is still very much our home and is most certainly not a standard rental property.
