I have just taken a look at the members list and having clicked on one of the member's listed was very concerned to see their full UK address showing!!
As a uk home owner renting out a property you should contact the Inland Revenue if you are going to be out of the country for 6 months or more for whatever reason be it business or pleasure. You should register as a non resident landlord which is simply a case of completing a form confirming your NI details, that your tax affairs are in order and that you agree to submit an annual tax return. I think these forms can be downloaded from the IR web site. Do not be fooled into thinking you can rent your uk property out without the Inland Revenue knowing especially if you employ the services of a letting agent either to manage the let or simply act as introducers. Letting agents are obliged to submit a full return each year listing all landlords for whom they have let property in the preceding year
Also agree. The old forum had become too fiery but this is just a bit too chilly for me! Doesn't seem to have any atmosphere or warmth and although I have been checking in, other than today I haven't felt inspired to contribute.I find the lay out uninviting and as others have already said, faced with pages of unread posts which you can't always get a feel for from the subject title I find myself giving up.I hope things get better but I fear for many the wait will be too long.Jackie

We once asked how old the oldest person in our village was. He died last year was the answer!
Sounds about right to me - I think the assumption often is that labour is cheap in italy but in our experience it is usually on a par with the uk
