Paying rates on an empty house??

[Madoxen]

Hi nickydwuk, Just my view on this but surly if you rent the property the income will pay for any of your bills, so rather than costing you each month you will be earning ??. and if you keep the rent income in nz you will have the NZD there should you need to do any maintanence or repairs on the property or even paying the rates while it may be temporaraly not let.

anyways like i said was just my thoughts on this hope it helps.

It is an avenue we are looking into. But we really want our goods out of the house so it is empty when rented so we have to look as how we will pay the cost of storage. Nothing is ever straight forward

There may be mileage in renting it furnished Nicky for those relocating and waiting for their container - is it something you've thought about? Furnished rentals are popular and you can charge a premium However, I appreciate it must be really hard trying to do things remotely so if we can help a wee bit this end give us a shout

Cheers

Thanks Karen. Our concern about renting furnished is that we bought all dining room, sitting room & bedroom furniture brand new and are worried that some tennants may not be as careful with them as we were. I have heard some horror stories in the past.
