Hi,
I bought my house 2 years ago with the Help to Buy scheme. I am now due to be working abroad for only 1 year. How can I go about renting my house for that period? I don't want to sell as I will be coming back after that. Thx!

    From what I understand is you are not allowed to rent out your property under the scheme rules....There are exceptions, being in the Armed forces is one but even that is subject to time constraints. You need to speak to your mortgage provider, they may require you to pay back the loan assistance.

    Does the help to buy scheme permit letting the property?

    Yes? Read New landlords: advice, information & links

    No? Don't do it.

    Not sure? Check the Help to Buy conditions.
