    only with special permission from their mortgage company.

    If you move with work on a "temporary" basis, for a large multinational and intend to return then yes.

    I am a non resident landlord.

    If you rent out a UK property then the deposit has to be protected & being 6 weeks rent normally it can easily be cross checked that you are declaring the correct rent.

    If it were me I would let him stay as a house sitter, claim the single person council tax & keep all the utilities in my name.

    I would say that I didn't expect to have stayed away for so long.

    Cheers
