I have been approached by a couple of companies in Australia and I am considering a move.

Having spoken to my mortgage company to enquire about letting my propery whilst I am away they have advised me that they dont do a buy to let. I explained that the move may not be permanent but they do not allow it. I am concerned that in the current climate I may not get another mortgage due to other loan commitments. I wouldn't like to think I have to sell the house in case things don't work out down under.

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Do you mean you aren't allowed to rent out your property in the UK while you are in Australia?

I haven't heard of that happening before, however I am not so familiar with the rules that UK lenders have.

In Australia you can always move out and rent a property out if you like. The banks don't mind what you do, as long as you make the repayments of course!
