Im heading abroad for work for 5 months so I want to rent out my home while Im gone. As its only for 5 months its a different market than the usual Daft ads and Im looking for advice on how to tap it. So far Ive contacted two letting agents, one said he wouldnt be interested in it due to the short term nature. The other said she felt she might be able to get it rented to a family who are doing a major renovation on their own home and need to move short term while constriction is ongoing. In a way that would be ideal as them being home owners would give me some re-assurance that they have somewhere to move back to when I get home. However she said she couldnt guarantee it and that its pot luck if a family fitting that profile come along.at the right time.
So Im looking for some ideas on other some other avenues. One thought was to rent to a multinational or similar who might have a need to house staff short term. But Im not sure how I would go about this, if I send emails to big local companies its likely to get lost in the ether without knowing the right person who deals with staff housing. Is there any letting agents out there who specialise in short term lets for MNCs? Or what department in an MNC deals with this, would it be human resources or who to try contact?
Any other tips on where I might find a market for this or a type of tenant profile to seek would be appreciated. I want to make sure I find the right people as it being my home I need to be sure of moving back in when the short term lease is up. With the current housing situation it is a worry that someone could overhold which is why Im hoping to find a specific type of tenant to avoid that happening.
Thanks in advance
