    Have you looked into the many schemes around that are an insurance policy that guarantees the income if the property is empty.

    A lot of agents run these schemes.

    One example is here.

    I have not used this one and am not recommending it but there are many similar ones on the market.

    Thanks for that, didn't even know you could do it.
    Will take a look, might be of interest :-)
