Me and Mrs W are in the early stages of planning a 6-month+ cycle tour, and are looking at options on what to do with our house while we away.
We don't have any family who we can move in to look after it (and pay the mortgage for us), so we have a few options as I see it:-
1. Leave it empty and meet all the bills etc from our savings (on the assumption that we'll both be taken unpaid leave from work).
2. Rent it out while we're away, meaning we'll have to put our stuff in storage etc.
3. Sell it, use the equity to fund the tour and buy/rent somewhere when we're finished.
4. Do something else I haven't thought of yet....
What do other people do?
