We are relocating overseas and need to sell our house first. Furniture will be sent overseas a few months before we go. Obviously it's all very hard to line up!
Thinking we need to rent somewhere for 12 months (most common lease length), and manage with whatever furniture we're not taking towards the end / borrow stuff & probably end up paying a bit extra for the months between not selling our current house and having the rental (as impossible to line up only having 1 property if there's no distinct chain).
Thinking it could take a while to sell our current house and would prefer it to be done before we go. However it could be quick!
Is there another option I'm missing? What would others do? Can't stay with family for that long and think a short term rental would end up costing the same as the wasted months on a long term lease?
Does it matter if we don't sell before we move OS - are there tax implications? We'd still be tax residents I guess.
