My son aims to rent a property on the south coast for a year whilst he finds something suitable to purchase. He will be employed. I told him that I thought there was a difference regarding security of tenancy between furnished and unfurnished. Is this so? and if so, what is it please?. Oh, they are traveling down to look at two properties tomorrow, so if this is really important, please find the time to explain.

In practice nowadays no difference an AST has security of tenure for initial fixed term of 6months and then they usually get you sign another 6 monhts/year fixed term or go onto rolling; rolling means 2 months notice LL to tenant and usually one tenant to LL.
Personally I'd go for unfurnished a lot of LLs buy cr*p from house clearance and mattresses that people have died on.0 -

Important to check LL has permission to let from mortgage company, if they don't and LL gets in arrears or mortgage co. finds out and doesn't like it - the tenancy is void and the mortgage company can evict you virtually immediately and all normal eviction procedures are avoided.0 -

Ummm, doubt that very much ! the lender would require a possession order from a court, the tenant would still have rights under The Housing Act.0
