I bought a 3 bed house in early 2005 which I will be moving out of in the next year or so. I am wondering what to do with it.
I suppose I have two options, rent it or sell it. I have a tracker mortgage with 249k and 26 years remaining and currently have two rooms rented under the rent a room scheme.
Option 1: Rent it
Register as a landlord, find tenants etc. The annual rent would be 12-14k and the mortgage repayments are currently 11.6k (17.2k at the peak interest rates of 4.25%).
Option 2: Sell it
Hard to know what price it will be in a year or two. I would probably cover the remaining mortgage anyways so I will assume I would make a small or no profit.
I would like to keep the house and rent it and use it as a long term investment which I would plan to sell in 30 years time.
Any opinions or any other options I am missing?
