    I have a list of things to do:

    * I need to find letting agencies in and around my area
    * decide to let part-furnished or empty?
    * Prepare the house (redecorating in progress)
    * sort out the red tape/taxation (I'm beginning to understand a few more things here)

    Unless your furniture is up to the standard for fire regulations, it is much better to let unfurnished.

    If there is gas to the property, by law you must have a valid gas safety certificate issued by a CORGI registered person (renewable annually). However, you lettings agent should be able to organise this for you.

    Just a few tips I've remembered!

    Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton
