Hi all
I've been living in the Netherlands for almost 5 years and I own a house here with my partner. Recently we decided that we wanted to move back to live in the UK to start a family and luckily both managed to get new jobs in the UK. We're British and are thinking about moving in the autumn.
However what to do with our house? Question is whether to sell it (because the property market is crazy right now) or do we rent it out for a short while? We're not yet sure whether we'd be coming back to the Netherlands and are a bit overwhelmed by the tax implications of owning property as Dutch non-residents vs. selling outright.
Does anyone have any experiences to share or have advice on this? Or know whether we'd have to first get our banks to agree to us renting in the first place? Although I hear that many people rent out their houses without permission and I wonder if this is fine to do or not.
I'm confused as to what the best option is here since there is a lot of information out there. Any advice would be welcome!
