DH and I own a lovely, 4-bed house in a village in Kent and, due to work commitments, we cannot live in it. We decided to rent it out. It has a quirky layout and having been on the market for two months it appears it's not suitable for the rich and picky clientele the village attracts ('It's not big enough for our furniture'). I have spoken to the local council's housing department and they have told me that they have a woman with children who would love the property. They have said that HB would be paid direct to me (for very specific reasons). We always pay for watertight referencing, rent guarantee insurance, and, in this case, will have an AST drawn up by a solicitor with some specific inclusions (clawback issues etc). I would love to help this woman, but my sensible head says I should really think very carefully about this. What do you think?
