UK Flat – Sell or Keep Renting? Expats Who’ve Been There – What Did You Do?
Personally I'd sell it and put the funds into a fund that tracks the markets (e.g Vanguard S&P500 US market, there are many funds to choose from), it will go up and down but over time should appreciate at least as good as the UK property market. If dividends are paid that's some extra income and there is no capital gains to speak of as long as you don't sell. One way of taking away the grief of being a Landlord but potentially giving you a fund that you could use to return home if you so desired. Note: you need to do some homework on tracker funds but you'd be well advised to stay away from commission seeking advisors (as you no doubt know). -

You are correct, regarding ‘you’. Maybe he is Israeli, that would explain a lot. -

UK Flat – Sell or Keep Renting? Expats Who’ve Been There – What Did You Do?
I’ve been into IT since I was about 10, but never really made the most of it commercially. Ended up becoming a university academic, which I enjoyed for the most part, but let’s be honest—it’s mostly glorified babysitting to keep the vice chancellor and his mates in a cushy job. Been looking for a smoother transition from my love of IT into something that actually works for me. My experience with Indian tenants hasn’t been great, to be honest. A few trashed the place, others were just hard work. Some were high earners in fintech but couldn’t manage basic things like spelling their name correctly on the contract or showing up on time—one even turned up 8 or 9 hours late on move-in day. And yeah, I get what you mean about Farang renters in Pattaya. The place feels cheap at first, but a lot of them realise quickly that they’re not as well-off as they thought. I had a lovely condo there and definitely spent a bit too freely, but those were some of the best times. Didn't even think about the UK or property stuff while I was there—just enjoyed it.
